Improper Use of Steroids

In this case, this gentleman purchased underground steroids and supplies and found himself in a horribly painful situation.  Not only did he not get the effect he wanted, his training was completely side-tracked for months as he had to recover from a horrific abscess that he ended up with after using the underground steroids.  This again points out some of the dangers with taking steroids when you are not under the care of a doctor, trainer, or physician’s assistant.  You never know what you are getting, you literally could be injecting anything into your body.  Worse yet, there is nothing you can do about it since you obtained the steroids illegally.  You can’t go to the police, you can’t sue the supplier, you cannot even worn others due to the fact that it could implicate you.  So again, before you reach for the needle or pill for that matter to get that edge that you are looking for take a look at these pictures and wait a couple of weeks.  If you still feel like this is something you want to do then find a legitimate supplier.  You must make sure you know what you are taking.

This picture is often shown as an example of what steroid use can lead to.  It definitely can lead to a massive increase in muscle mass but if abused it like anything can go to the extreme.  I have no idea if these gentlemen just had an unusual reaction to steroids or if in fact they abused them, but many users have reported a distorted self image after they start taking steroids which caused them to continue stacking and taking more and more until they eventually became completely different looking people than they were when they started taking steroids.  Several people have noted how much Barry Bonds head increased in size from his alleged use of steroids.  That is just one of many examples of an unwanted and obvious change to a person.  All of your muscles can and may grow and that may not always be a good thing.  As with any drug if you have a tendacy toward addiction, you should avoid the use of steroids.  It’s not necessarily a physical addiction but more of a mental one where you feel as though you just can’t stop.  Before you know it, you might see pictures of you all over the internet.

Steroids are basically performance aids that people take to improve their athletic performance, certain athletes, sports personnel and bodybuilders take steroids, even though it is a banned substance, and while the side effects for both men and women can be detrimental to their over all health, when comparing the side effects between the sexes, women suffer more. The main reason women should not take steroids is that the results that are gained from steroids lead to a very unfeminine form. The majority of female bodybuilders, who have developed their physique using steroids, look rather gnarly, even manish. These women on develop huge and vein-striated muscles with grainy skin and a wide jaw. In addition to a change in the exterior appearance of the women, steroids tend to change a woman’s voice, making it deeper and more masculine. In a bid to copy men and train like them, women take steroids, that consist primarily of the male hormone testosterone and practically turn into men, losing their own femininity.

Steroids are not meant to be taken by women as a woman’s genetics are not meant for male hormones. There are many side effects that are associated with a woman taking steroids. With steroids, the normal cycle of a woman’s menstrual cycle is hampered and leads to spotting and irregular stopping of the cycle all together. With the introduction of extra testosterone, because believe it or not women do contain small amounts of testosterone naturally, they start to develop male physical characteristics, such as more pronounced jaw muscles, hair in places that women traditionally don’t have hair and as discussed before, deeper voices, and perhaps the most disturbing change is the development of a small penis that develops from clitoral enlargement and is another irreversible side effect. Also women who grow unwanted hair have to deal with ridding the body of excessive hair in the chin, buttocks, chest, the anus, nipples and inner glutes, just to hide their new male qualities, because let’s just face it a  hairy butt on a woman is unnatural and if a female bodybuilder showed up at a competition with a hairy butt, the judges would know that she was taking steroids. Increased hair growth is a result of hirsutism, which is also irreversible. With more masculine features, like the widening of the jaw, a once beautiful woman may suddenly turn into a very masculine looking drag queen. In addition to all of these physical changes, women taking steroids also develop emotional changes because of the drugs consumed.

Another important aspect and reason that women should not take steroids is the intimate behavioral changes that occur. The physical and psychological changes a woman goes through can be compromised; it is when androgyny sets in that things become difficult. With androgyny, the normal heterosexual woman experiences changes and even starts behaving and thinking like a man. Such women tend to become aggressive, with the aggression being mitigated through the presence of testosterone in the body. With confused brains, they tend to start fights, shout out at everyone and tend to lose their temper for no reason at all. With testosterone, the women also tend to experience sexual aggression where they become very horny and aggressive. They become so horny that even after a heavy workout they still need sex several times a day.

With steroids, women tend to suffer from stomach distension where the lower abdomen gets irritated and swollen. With this, there is chronic constipation, intestinal gas and water retention. Vaginal discharge tends to increase which can be irritating. The body odor of the woman increases where the woman tends to smell rather pungent, and while accepting all of these conditions, it is highly possible that the woman may undergo feelings of  depression, and upon stopping steroids, the rebound of estrogen leads to apathy, fatigue and extreme depression.

All women undergo changes with the consumption of drugs and no woman is immune to the side effects of steroids. It is just that some woman tend to suffer from more and stronger side effects while others suffer less. In fact some women deny the fact that steroids have side effects though these side effects are irreversible, very much undesirable and tolerated for no reason at all. So it can be seen that though steroids help develop muscles in a woman, it tends to rid the woman of her femininity. It can be thus seen that taking steroids is not advisable, as there is no promise of a victory in bodybuilding but rather a promise in irreversible, unpleasant side effects.

You buy steroids for a number of purposes. The most common purpose for buying steroids is to use them as performance enhancing drugs (PED’s). You often use steroids in sports to raise your performance level, but most people are not aware of the serious side effects steroids may have. This article is particularly for people that are buying steroids to be used as PED’s.

Know the facts, your steroid use may have serious consequences, whether you inject them into your muscles, take pills, or use them on your skin via steroid gels or creams. Whether you are male or female, you may experience the several side effects, such as— Severe acne, jaundice, cardiovascular or heart diseases, tumors, stunted growth, psychological effects, and potential violence (commonly referred to as roid rage). Steroids cause severe acne by causing hormonal level changes and stimulation of glands in your skin to produce more sebum, an oily substance that protects and keeps the skin from becoming dry. Steroids also affect liver function, causing a gradual yellowing of the skin i.e. jaundice. The use of steroids increases bad cholesterols or low-density lipoproteins (LDL) while simultaneously decreasing good cholesterols or high-density lipoproteins (HDL) in the body; this increases the risks of heart disease. Steroids can lead to the development of benign and malignant (cancerous) tumors in your liver and kidneys. Steroid use can result in bone lengthening and halting growth prematurely, which means stunted growth (the opposite of what you are probably going for). The prolonged use of steroids increases your aggressiveness, mood swings, paranoia, sleeping disorders, euphoria and hallucinations. The increased hostility, competitiveness and aggressive behavior due to steroid use may lead to assaults and violence.

Steroids may also have effects on your reproductive system. If you are male and you often use & buy steroids, these drugs can cause “temporary testicular atrophy” that is diminishing your testes size, which eventually cease to function. Your testicular shrinkage limits the production of sperm and this results in decreased sperm cell production. Steroids can cause temporary infertility i.e. lowering your sperm count and consequently reducing your fertility and ability to father a child. Steroids abuse can also lead to erectile dysfunction. The high steroid doses over a long period of time can cause permanent impotence. These drugs can cause permanent gynecomastia i.e. the increase in female hormones called estrogens prompting irreversible breast development in men.

If you are female and you often use and buy steroids, they can lead to irregularity of your menstrual cycles. Steroids harm the maturation and release of eggs during ovulation, causing a disruption in the menstrual cycle. The prolonged use of steroids will eventually lead to infertility. Steroid abuse can result in your enlarged clitoris and physical disfiguration. Steroid can also lead to female pattern baldness; these drugs cause permanent hair loss, particularly in the frontal hairline. steroid abuse can lead to breast atrophy i.e. increasing testosterone in your reproductive system diminishing the size of your breasts permanently. Steroid use can lead to masculine physical traits, which mean that they can encourage your facial hair growth, muscularity, deepening you voice and skin coarseness. Steroids can cause a number pregnancy problems which may ultimately lead to fetal retardation or death.

These are just some of the side effects that you can encounter and that you should consider before buying steroids for performance enhancement. It’s not always about being the strongest or fastest. Does that really matter as much as you think it does right now? Just consider the long-term potential impact before buying steroids.

The effects of steroids can also be severe if you are thinking about reselling the product to friends and/or others at your gym. You see, in the U.S. Federal law placed anabolic steroids in Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) as of February 27, 1991. The possession or sale of anabolic steroids without a valid prescription is illegal. Simple possession of illicitly obtained anabolic steroids carries a maximum penalty of one year in prison and a minimum $1,000 fine if this is an individual’s first drug offense. The maximum penalty for trafficking is five years in prison and a fine of $250,000 if this is the individual’s first felony drug offense. If this is the second felony drug offense, the maximum period of imprisonment and the maximum fine both double. While the above listed penalties are for federal offenses, individual states have also implemented fines and penalties for illegal use of anabolic steroids. You should also check out any U.S. State laws on steroid trafficking as well to see if is even more strict than the Federal law. We would recommend the same if you live outside of the U.S. Most countries at this time control the sale and distribution of steroids. In any event, it is a risky business model to say the least.

You should be very weary of websites that say they will get you steroids without a prescription. Find out where they are and how they are getting the drugs. Plus, be aware of the consequences of importing illegal drugs into your country. We would also be concerned with what you are really getting make sure you are 100% certain before ingesting or injecting anything from a site like that. We definitely recommend only taking steroids under the care of a doctor or personal trainer that you know and trust (and always make sure you follow and know the laws that you need to operate under).

It includes some pretty telling pictures of Arnold Schwarzenegger before and after steroids plus it fast forwards to his body as it is today. Basically through this video you see some of the good and bad effects of steroids. What do you do after steroids with your body? We think it is really a life-long commitment that sounds easier than it is, what do you think?
