For bodybuilders, the temptation for cheating
will always be present. There are some natural supplements
that can aid a body in bulking up, but there are some illegal
and harmful substances that can help you build muscle fast
as easy as raking the yard. The ease comes with a huge price
that is usually your health. Anabolic steroids are the most
abused substance in all of bodybuilding. They are outlawed
by every competition. In fact, most competitions require a
drug test. If failed, your reputation will ruined inside the
bodybuilding circles and out.
Anabolic steroids can have dangerous side effects and they
essentially make you not a man. One major side effect of anabolic
steroids in males is shrinkage of the testicles. This can
be very harmful and embarrassing when engaging in sexual activity.
One result of this is lowering of the sperm count which can
impede your ability to have a child and reproduce. Secondly,
anabolic steroids cause baldness. Baldness can ruin your overall
appearance more than a ripped body can help. Baldness is also
something that cannot be completely reversed. Third, anabolic
steroids will lead to breast development in males. This is
embarrassing even when clothed. And finally, it will cause
your voice to deepen.
The effects on women are similar. Expect an enlargement in
your clitoris. The voice will deepen, baldness will occur
and facial hair will begin to grow. Growth in height will
be stunted.
The effects of anabolic steroids can be very serious as well.
They have been known to cause tumors and different forms of
cancer, as well cause irreversible damage to liver and jaundice.
It results in acne and the well known "roid rage"
and uncontrollable and unprovoked anger. It can cause the
arteries to harden and eventually lead to heart failure.
