Truth about Anabolic Steroids

image_05

Its Always recommended to start any anabolic cycle once you have reached the plateau (2-3 years of hardcore training) and after the age of 25. In the age of impatience and social media youngsters start taking steroids without proper guidance and knowledge, which leads to permanent and irreversible damages to their heart, liver and kidneys. Testicular atrophy, acne and mood swings are the most common problems.

No matter what clever supplement and fitness industry marketers will tell you, nothing provides the same muscle-building, strength-boosting, fat-blasting effects as anabolic steroids. In fact, gym rats and bodybuilders have been using steroids for years to gain pounds of lean muscle mass and recover from workouts in the fastest way possible.

The biological function of anabolic steroids (tissue building) is to stimulate protein synthesis, to heal muscles more quickly and effectively.

New muscle is gained by tearing the long, tube-like fibres that run the length of our muscle; protein molecules attach to the broken chains, creating new muscle. While on steroids, your muscle fibres become greedy, seeking out every stray protein molecule.
