Steroids turns your bones to brittle, turns your testies impotent, and alters your mind in ways that can cause mental breakdowns, but most of all it can kill you.

I have seen some people achieve what could arguably be described as success with roids. In that they achieved the body they wanted for a short while.

Unfortunately the honey moon doesnt last. I worked as a doorman for 13 years and new quite a few guys who wanted extra power / strength / definition and size so they used sroids. It seemed with most of them who were lucky enough to take the correct amount of the right drug that it gave them what they wanted for a while. Then came issues with anger and bad temper often leading to violence. 1 guy i visited in mental health hospital tried to hammer a nail into his forehead to try and get the demons out.......

I've also heard a lot of people saying if you drop off on the training for any length of time e.g. you have a lot of work on or you broke a leg or something the definition and muscles tend to deflate quicker than when you've got them naturally. Lets face it no one can keep up a very high level of training forever so the roids really aren't a long term solution.

The worst side effect I've seen with 3 or 4 people is serious hart condition and hart attacks. I know 2 guys with pacemakers struggling to get by now with a much shorter life expectancy.

to cut the story short if your going to take steroids how do you know the correct quantity or quality of the drug to take I'm sure your doctor wont advice you! Basically your taking a massive risk with your health.

I would also say the drugs are addictive too. Both chemically and definitely psychologically.

JUST DONT DO IT! If you are determined to go ahead find some way of getting the best advice ref use / quantity and also ref where you source the drugs from. Even the best drug dealers use rubbish when they are short of a delivery can you really trust them?

Coincidentally I recently watched a movie called Bigger Stronger Faster, which is a documentary about steroid use (amongst other drugs and supplements) and the culture behind many athletes. It was eye opening to say the least and changed my opinions on the subject a great deal. Check it out for a wealth of information on the topic.

I remember watching a documentary called Beyond the Mat. It's a wrestling documentary. I'd also recommend watching The Wrestler. Plenty of people using steroids there.

Ever since that horrendous business with Chris Benoit the WWE had started The Wellness Program for wrestlers to take before they compete. any signs of steroids or body enhancing drugs and a wrestler will be suspended or other consequences.

It also reminded me of the Steroid abuse case back in the early nineties about pro wrestlers in the WWE [then known as WWF] using the stuff. A lot of lines were drawn, friends broken, and careers halted for some time.
