  1. 7 Things you should know about Anabolic Steroids While the use of anabolic steroids is quite common in both the medical field and in sports, many people are still unaware of these performance enhancing drugs (PEDs). This post aims to dispel the myths about androgenic-Anabolic Steroids or AAS while giving you an insight into what they are and why people particularly in sports like using them. Now without further ado, here are the 7 things you should know about anabolic steroids. What are Anabolic Steroids? First of all, anabolic steroids are simply synthetic versions of naturally produced hormones in the body like testosterone which is produced naturally by the testes in men, ovaries in women and adrenal glands. Natural Testosterone is responsible for promoting the predominant male characteristics such as facial and body hair, a hoarse voice, muscular physique, strength and stamina. However, with anabolic steroids these male characteristics are enhanced even further to boost performance. How do Anabolic Steroids Look, Taste and Smell? Anabolic steroids are mainly available in either liquid or tablet form for intramuscular and oral administration respectively. However, you may still get steroids in powder and gel forms. The tablets come in different shapes, sizes and colors while the liquid is usually contained in measured vials. When it comes to how anabolic steroids taste, you should know that it is not advisable to lick the liquid or powder, but when oral anabolic steroids are consumed they tend to leave a metallic taste on your taste buds. If you find this uncomfortable, you may alleviate this taste by taking candy or mint treats. Anabolic steroids do not give out any odour or smell and this is also true when you have administered steroids and then perspire after a hectic, intense workout schedule. Your sweat will consist primarily of water, lactic acid produced by the eccrine glands, salts, proteins released by the apocrine glands, oils and the anabolic steroid used. This sweat will not give out any awful smell on its own. However, if the protein contained in the sweat is broken down by bacteria lurking on the surface of your skin that is only when your sweat will give off a putrid smell. How are Anabolic Steroids Administered? As stated earlier, the most common ways to administer Buy anabolic steroids is either intramuscularly using a hypodermic needle or orally. Typically, anabolic steroids are taken in cycles, stacks, pyramids and even plateaus.

  2. With cycles, doses of anabolic steroids are taken over a specific length of time. Once this period has elapsed, the drugs are discontinued for a period of time usually to allow for post cycle therapy (PCT) (this is the time allowed for steroid users to physically recover from their steroid use). After PCT, the cycle may be repeated once more. Stacking involves taking multiple anabolic steroids and this may include a mixture of different intramuscular and oral administration. For pyramiding, you may begin by taking a low dosage of a stack of anabolic steroids for a cycle of between 6 and 12 weeks then gradually increase your intake instead of suddenly discontinuing with your steroid use and starting after PCT as in the case of cycling. In pyramiding, your dosage can then be slowly reduced in the second phase of your cycle until you reach a zero level dosage. In the second phase of your cycle, you may workout without using performance enhancing drugs which allows your body to recover from steroid use while also giving your body time to resume its normal production of naturally produced hormones. With plateauing you may overlap or even substitute one or more steroids with other types of anabolic steroids like Buy Anavar in order to keep you from developing a tolerance to the drugs. How does Anabolic steroid make you feel? Typically, anabolic steroids offer a whole host of psychological and physical effects. People tend to experience a euphoric feeling while many strength-based athletes say they feel aggressive, a trait that is particularly beneficial to their highly intense training programs. Steroids make people feel energetic and powerful while at the same time giving users extraordinary stamina and exceptional powers of recovery. However, high doses of oral anabolic steroids are known to make people feel nauseated, experienced gastric irritation and even vomit from time to time. Duration of Steroid Use Your duration of Injectable steroid use is dependent on whether you intend cycling, pyramiding or stacking anabolic steroids. With cycling, you use anabolic steroids (either oral or injectable) over a cycle which can be anywhere from 2 weeks to 8 weeks. When you engage in stacking or pyramiding, you may use the performance enhancing drugs for between 6 to 16 weeks. However, when it comes to using oral steroids, it is advisable not to use the drugs for any extended period of time as many oral steroids are hepatotoxic and liver supplements may have to be included in your program to prevent possible liver damage. The Risks of Anabolic Steroids

  3. In many countries around the world, the possession and use of unprescribed anabolic steroids still remains illegal and you could stand the risk of arrest, prosecution, fines and even jail time if caught with PEDs. Athletes that use anabolic steroids also stand the risk of being handed out lengthy bans in accordance with the statutes of the World Anti-doping Agency (WADA). But apart from the legal risks of possessing and using anabolic steroids, users also face a myriad of health risks especially if the drugs are not used in accordance to recommended doses or if the AAS are abused. The side effects of anabolic steroids affects both male and female. The severity of the side effects is also dependent on several factors including gender, age, body weight, frequency and length of AAS use. Some of the health risks associated with steroid use includes; - Fluid retention, - Acne, - Gynecomastia (male boobs), - Increased LDL (bad) cholesterol, - Low libido, - Shrunken testicles, - Low sperm count, - Infertility, - Increased facial and body hair growth in females, - Hair loss, - Cardiovascular issues, - Irregular menstrual cycles, - Shrunken breasts in females, - Enlarged clitoris, - Deepened voice in females, - Mood swings, - Anxiety and depression, - Delusions and paranoia, - Roid rage, - Hepatitis, HIV and AIDS (which may be contracted from the indiscriminate sharing of hypodermic needles when using intramuscular injectables). Anabolic Steroid Addiction While there are more than a 100 different types of AAS, very few are actually approved for use in the medical field. Strength-based athletes and other sports men and women use AAS to enhance their

  4. performance. This has led to many designer steroids flooding the market to meet the huge demand for effective PEDs. While anabolic steroids do not give users a "high" in the same way as illicit drugs like cocaine, heroin or marijuana, users can still be addicted to the many beneficial effects that AAS can offer. Some of these benefits include; increased strength, enhanced stamina, endurance and speed of recovery from muscle-related injuries picked up during intense workouts. Anabolic steroid users can easily get addicted to using a variety of PEDs because of these benefits. They become compelled and dependent on the use of AAS which they feel they cannot do without. Also, the withdrawal symptoms experienced after steroid users reduce their consumption or end a steroid cycle can lead them to become dependent on Anabolic steroids. If a person has a history of substance abuse and addiction, then such an individual may easily be addicted to using anabolic steroids. The Legal implications of Anabolic Steroid Abuse In the U.S, anabolic steroids are rated as Schedule III drugs under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) promulgated on the 27th of February, 1991. Under this federal act, the illegal possession, sale and use of unprescribed anabolic steroids attracts a fine (USD$1,000) and one year jail sentence for first offenders. Those involved in the felony offense of trafficking illicit anabolic steroids are liable to be fined as much as USD$250,000 and receive a five year prison sentence. However, second offenders will receive a fine of as much as USD $500,000 and a lengthy maximum prison sentence. It is also worth noting that individual states also have their own penalties and fines for the illicit use of AAS. International organizations like FIFA and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) are very strict on the sanctions that they impose on those who use unapproved anabolic steroids to gain an advantage in international competitive events.
