Hey,

I'm in the gym basically every day, and I'm not seeing the results I want. A mate of mine uses steroids to add extra bulk, and he swears by them. I could afford the treatment, and I'm thinking about trying them, but my girlfriend's totally against it. She says that it'll change my personality and that guys on steroids get violent. Can anyone tell me if this is true?

Don't!  There's nothing but trouble from using steroids.  You will bulk up, but 'roid rage' is not a myth - nor is chronic acne, infertility, cancer, and all the other side effects.

Hi:

There are three certain things about steroids:

1.  They'll make you grow.

2.  They'll cause permanent negative changes to your health, everything from damaging your heart and liver through to infertility and cancer.

3.  As soon as you stop taking them you'll lose the growth effects.

That means you have two choices:

1.  Train harder and smarter - do it right and you'll make progress.

2.  Take steroids in the knowledge that you are endangering your health and severely shortening your life.

I'd recommend taking the money you were prepared to put into steroids and spending it on a good personal trainer to get your training really moving.  There's nothing steroids can achieve that you can't get through hard work, smart training and good nutrition.

Cheers,

Don

There's nothing but bad news from using steroids.  I've spent over thirty years in the gym, and seen loads of guys get well screwed up using them.

i've also seen loads of guys  (and a few women) make fantastic progress without them.  It's about the workouts you do, the food you eat, the belief you have.  If you train smart, and are pepared to really bust your balls, then you can grow plenty big without 'roids.

They're for people who want all the result wihout the effort.
