Good article from Men’s Health over at MSNBC. Guess what guys (and girls)- there are no free lunches. You always pay… somehow, somewhere. All the guys I know at the gyms I have worked out at who used steroids eventually had health problems- and 2 of them are dead. Be smart, train hard, eat right and get enough rest and you will make gains.
Now, six years and about 12 cycles later, I weigh a solid 240 pounds, although I diet down to 210 when I enter bodybuilding competitions. My arms are up to 19 inches, and, although injuries have kept my strength from improving dramatically, I’m finally close to the look I always wanted.
That muscle came at a price. I’ve spent close to $30,000 on steroids and now stay on them at least two-thirds of the year. I have masses of scar tissue in my glutes from hundreds of injections. People I meet are intimidated, and some automatically assume I’m a jerk, which I’m not. But that’s all trivial compared with this: A few months ago, after a cycle in which I had used a lot of oral steroids to prepare for a contest, a blood test showed liver damage comparable to that of a hepatitis patient.
