Steroids...

[ummmm]

I mean body building steroids...

What are the real dangers? And is there a safe way of taking them?

[tinkerbell23]

I dont think so...and they make ur balls shrink!

Terrible mood swings and bad acne!..i have friends who take em!

I think about when we all get older, all that skin has stretched they will go all saggy!! X

[tinkerbell23]

Ps: i like the results though haha x

[cazzz1975]

balls shrink..? though for a guy that could be useful..

[ummmm]

Balls shrink....hmmmm!!!

Why can't they just build muscle the proper way?

[tinkerbell23]

I heard it can mess up fertility...but they definately do shrink!

Mabye cazz...if it helps make anything else look erm...bigger!

[tinkerbell23]

No idea why...thing is they all are never out the gym....so its not like they just do em to look good and not work out! They still have to work at it! Usually if they have a big thick neck (apart from ACTUAL bodybuilders) u can tell its roids,...but to touch the muscles feel the same as normal its weird!

I know a chap who has been taking them for years, he has lumps on the back of his neck and shoulders from where he has injected himself but worse than that he now has a very bad heart condition directly caused by his years of abuse. His heart is thickened on one side due to them.
Seems he has done more harm to himself down the gym than if he'd spent the last 25 years smoking.

Anabolic steroids.......increase in live problems, cardiovascular problems and Psychiatric disturbances.

No there is no safe way of taking them.

My knowledge is limited, so Google dangers of anabolic steroids.

This documentary is all about the overuse of steroids: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pU3E8DuLZw

It gets a bit graphic so it's best not to embed the videos!

[ummmm]

I will watch that when the kids go out Ed...

Worrying stuff!!!

[Frank97]

I forgot to mention how aggressive his and his impotency.

[cazzz1975]

bodybuilders never look healthy imo, they always look highly strung with veins protruding out, like a heart attack waiting to happen

[Frank97]

Sorry " he is"

[craft1948]

I used to train at a bodybuilders gym and can definitely confirm the mood swings. One of the girls divorced her husband as he changed so much after taking them regularly.............

[tinkerbell23]

Scary actually !! Ill Hav to find myself a non steriod user....but just as muscly ;0>

[Ankou]

testicles shrink and scrotum tightens.

they do return to normal when you discontinue taking the steroids, but as said there are other health issues to think about.

[mccfluff]

mood swings for def, Gaz who used to work behind the bar takes them, i've never met anyone moodier, he could be ab fine one minute then turn for no reason

he also got a tattoo of an ak47 on his arm and thought that was clever - not sure if stupidity is related to steroids

[Ankou]

no fluff, just people named gaz

[pa___ul3]

cazzz they probably are a heart attack waiting to happen, to put on that much bulk so quickly, your body must work really hard to carry it and work it yet they invariably do no cardio work at all because it's all about the look.
It's an obsessive lifestyle, it's always the same lads in the weights room when I go, they look ripped to hell but half of them don't even lift that much!

[tinkerbell23]

Agree paul re: cardio work! Or lack of!

I do have a mate who was on em...looked great body wise but facially just looked unhealthy. Stopped them n still has a great body but my god looks better...and also does cardio. Lol

They tend to stick to the weights section....i can be found near there...watching hah x
