Anabolic steroids may appear to give you extra muscle mass, but their predominant effect is an overwhelming weakening of your body. Steroids will make you shorter, cardiovascularly weaker, and cause more than 70 physical and psychological side effects, some of which are fatal. If you're not as big as you'd like to be, the last thing you want to do is take steroids, because steroids stunt your growth. If you're not as strong as you'd like to be, do not take steroids, because they have not been proven to increase strength. Someone with a bulky muscle mass due to steroids is not necessarily stronger than someone with less bulk. Bruce Lee was incredibly strong, yet he had very little muscle mass. Finally, if you think taking steroids is a quick ticket to a huge muscular body, think again. Even with steroids, a well-defined muscular body is only achieved through long hours of working out in the gym and a strict diet low in fat and high in protein and other nutrients. If you fail to constantly balance the steroids with a strict vigorous training program, you will blow up like the cows that are injected with hormones to fill their bodies with fat. Be smart. The unpredictable reasons for taking steroids are dwarfed by the severe costs to your body. Many people experience growth spurts and muscle growth into their 20's. Be smart. Exercise patience. If you do, you will overall be physically in better shape and will live much longer than anyone who takes steroids.
