But I will say that the main problem is that people are scared to have other people know they take it, so they don't do the proper research, only know what benefit they think they will get out of it but don't take the time to learn and know the full side effects or mixing what drugs is a bad idea, and they mess up. I know that anything done right as long as it has been proven to work correctly should work correctly.<br /><br />I mean people who have asthma, the majority of them at some point have taken steroids, in order to help them breath, a lot of the inhalers contain a bit of steroids to increase the speed of opening the pathways, but it's just a little bit, not enough to really cause any changes in their athletic behavior.

I know a lot of guys who juiced and the only ones who had bad side effects were going crazy: either ODing or not training hard enough to warrent their use. A guy wrote an article of Outside a few years back who took doctor prescribed steroids, monitored his performance, then wrote about it. In the steroid chatrooms he claimed he was derided for his dosages(large enough to yield big returns) with language like, "what are you, afraid of getting big?"Steve Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17639176315514772554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-65862634683995104802010-06-01T18:40:24.899-06:002010-06-01T18:40:24.899-06:00Steriod use, just like any other drug, comes down ...Steriod use, just like any other drug, comes down to three simple words: "Use as directed". Go ahead and take about 25-30 tylenol, and it will be your last headache! When taken properly, and cycled properly, steroids are not as bad as people believe. Unfortunately, we only hears the horror stories, which 99 times out of 100 come from abuse!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17131341823814995329noreply@blogger.com
