Steroids have been abused for many years by body builders, professional athletes, and gym rats. With the known facts of steroids doing so much harm to your body it makes you wonder why it is becoming more and more popular. Yes, steroids will increase muscle growth at a more rapid pace and will give you more strength, but you can spot someone on steroids a few blocks over and I personally have no respect for them. Steroids are a cheater drug to look bigger which come at a cost but even with that being said, the negatives of steroids greatly out weight the positives. With thousands of other ways to put on muscle in a much safer manner your much better off avoiding the risk of steroids.
