Why Steroids are overly
regarded!
I AM NOT IMPRESSED WITH STEROIDS
STEROIDS ARE NOT USUALLY NEEDED
STEROIDS ARE NOT AS DANGEROUS AS MOST PEOPLE THINK – (If Used
Correctly)
(Warning! This paper is long-winded, but necessary to
understand each salient point)
Recently there has been sad news about a certain pro
wrestler from Edmonton by the name of Chris Benoit's
that has allegedly killed his wife and kid and then committed
suicide.
.
There is an investigation and inquiry into his life to see
if his demented actions were the result of steroid use.
He has taken steroids in the past and recently, he was
tested for them and it was determined that his system was clean
of steroids.
The media hype has been that steroids cause “Roid Rage” and
that it is impossible to acquire the level of muscular
development that this wrestler possessed without them.
He was five foot eleven inches tall and weighed in at two
hundred and twenty pounds at a very low body fat level.
I can’t take listening to all the hype about steroids;
which is:
Steroids always cause fits of rage. Steroids definitely always
cause health problems.
Last but not least, steroids are the only way to achieve great
size and strength.
To the statements that all of this is absolute truth… I
say this is absolute rubbish!
To prove my point… let us take an analytical journey together
and go point by point over all of the common beliefs and
misconceptions.
Ø
Steroids are always the cause of great rage in
their users.
Ø
Steroids always cause health problems.
Ø
It is impossible to develop world-class level of
strength, speed or size without the use of steroids.
I don’t believe that steroids always cause roid rage. I
have known men that have admitted that they have been on high
levels of various steroids non-stop for years. Some of these men
even suffer the side-affects of this chronic use; such as very
high blood pressure, extraordinarily elevated levels of
cholesterol and the most telling “bitch tits”; yet some of these
men cannot be incited to raise their voice in anger.
I have met a few men that have been on their first cycle
of steroids – very low doses – suffering no apparent physical
side affects and yet these people will uncustomary fly into
murderous fits of rage over the most trivial of incidents.
One of the men who have been abusing steroids for years…
the one that has “bitch tits”
believes that roid rage is the result of those particular people
being ‘assholes’ at their core. He feels that some of these men
may hide these tendencies when they are weak and small, but
allow themselves to indulge in tantrums when they become big and
strong.
From years of careful observation, I believe that sometimes
this is the case and sometimes it is due to the hormonal changes
that they are inflicting on their bodies.
My point is… what is often labeled as “Roid Rage” is NOT always
the result of steroid use.
I don’t believe that Steroids are always the cause of
health problems; at least no more than long-term use of over the
counter or legal prescription drugs that are so readily used for
the most common ailments that civilized humans seem to suffer.
The danger of prescription drug use is something I can testify
to - especially from long-term use.
Steroids are blamed for a whole host of health problems,
from eczema and toe fungus to heart disease and various cancers.
If you are to believe the opponents of steroids, every
health problem that comes down the pike for any athlete is
blamed on steroid use.
When Arnold Schwarzenegger was scheduled for heart valve
surgery - accusations from the non-steroid community was, that
his heart problems were the result of his steroid use during his
youth.
The fact of the matter is that Arnold suffered from a
congenital defect that he inherited from his mother. Also, let’s
be realistic, you would be hard pressed to find a man his age
without at least one health problem or another.
Last but not least, the belief that extraordinary size,
speed and strength is impossible without the use of steroids is
the biggest pile of horseshit imaginable.
Let’s look at some facts. Chris Benoit was five foot and
eleven inches tall and weighed two hundred and twenty pounds
lean.
At the age of forty-three and after three years of illness
and minimal training, I went on an intensive training routine
for four months. At the end of four months I weighed two hundred
and fifteen pounds at the height of five foot seven. Admittedly,
I was not as lean as Chris. My body fat level was at twelve
percent.
However, since I am much shorter and small boned and at an
age where muscle development is hard to come by – my muscular
development was comparable. In fact, it was during this phase
that I put on thirty-five pounds more body mass than the one
hundred and eighty pounds that you see me sporting in my picture
posted on this site, with only a four percent increase in total
body fat.
Since I have never been this heavy and lean before, I did not
even have the benefit of ‘Muscle Memory” to facilitate this
development.
I managed to achieve this level of development of size
without the use of steroids or any performance enhancing drugs.
In fact, I did this without any supplementation or the use of
any special dietary program, nor was my caloric intake high.
My growth was from proper training. My training program then is
the same one that I am using now to get back into shape.
It should not be too much of a stretch for any of you to
see the obvious; which is the it is possible and even likely to
achieve extraordinary size and strength; for practically any
person that understands and deploys proper training protocols.
Some of you are no doubt asking, “If this is true, then
why is there an epidemic use of performance enhancing drugs. Why
do all of the athletes using them think that they are certainly
needed for their goals?”
Those are good questions that deserve to be addressed.
WHY TOO MANY ATHLETES AND REGULAR PEOPLE USE STEROIDS
Most of the people who use steroids simply believe that
they are needed. They developed this belief before they took
steroids and it was reinforced after they started taking them.
Why you may ask? The biggest reason is that even though
they are not necessary, they do in fact work and often the
results of their use CAN be dramatic. But that is not really the
initial or core reason for most people’s belief or reliance that
steroids are the magical panacea.
The problem originates when lifters run into the
frustration of minimal or a total lack of progress in their
training and development. Unbeknownst to them, this lack of
progress is not due to their body’s need for steroids, but
instead, their need to change and or perhaps cut back on their
training. There is in fact, usually a whole host of problems
that is the direct cause of most lifters lack of progress. These
constellations of negative events set up a mental environment in
many lifters where they engage in negative self-talk. These
lifters invariably think that they lack the essential stuff or
genetics or secret training program to continue to make gains
without “Outside” help.
Since they know that testosterone helps an athlete to recover
and grow, they reason that more testosterone or an analogue of
testosterone will do the trick.
Their reasoning is somewhat erroneous. One reason is that
regardless of your level of testosterone, improper training is
still improper training. Another reason is that your level of
development is not dependent on you level of indigenous
testosterone, but is dependent on other factors within your
body, such as insulin growth factors and many other things
happening at a cellular and even molecular level. The third
reason is that many lifters, even, or perhaps especially the
steroid users start off crippled with the idea that they need
them.
Some lifters I know acknowledge everything I have said so
far and yet they will still take steroids.
Why you may ask?
The answer is simple; because they work!
STEROIDS WORK – BUT AT WHAT COST?
That’s right; steroids work and they can work well. I also
believe that with the right medical supervision they are perhaps
even less risky to take than many over the counter medications
and certainly perhaps safer than many of the prescribed drugs
people are forced to chronically take for a variety of medical
issues.
In my own life, a lot of the steroid users would make fun
of the fact that my doctor prescribed drugs were causing more
medical problems than the steroids that they took. In fact, not
only were the drugs I had to take dangerous, they had the
opposite affect of what anabolic steroids have with regards to
attaining size and strength. As soon as I was able to wean
myself off these drugs, I was able to make serious advances in
my size and performance.
It is up to this point that most people wonder why I don’t
take them since I believe that they can be used with less risk
than the doctor prescribed drugs?
It is a good question really, I don’t think steroid use is
immoral, nor do I think they should remain illegal.
So what is my hang-up about using them you may ask?
Again, the answer is simple. The fact is, people without
rare metabolic disorders simply don’t need them to attain
world-class level of strength, speed or size. If this was
absolutely not the case then I would understandably be tempted
to use them.
In addition, one has to consider the benefit to risk and
cost ratio of using steroids; especially since optimal results
can be achieved without them. Minimal risks are still risks
none-the-less and the cost of purchasing steroids is also to be
considered – not to mention that as of now, they are illegal and
many of the ones purchased though the black market may be
tainted or substandard.
Once again the question comes up…why do people use them,
if they believe what you are saying to be true?
This question is one of the main cruxes to the heart of
steroid use. Because in some ways, it is simply easier to pop a
pill, wear a trans-dermal or shoot a drug than it is to use your
brain in the most effective manner with which to create an
optimal workout plan that will provide a lifetime of optimal
results.
Let’s face it, most people are lazy, they don’t like to
tax their brain and they are impatient and want results
yesterday!
Even the lifters that I know who have the hardiest work
ethics and natural ability are lulled by the temptation for an
easier road.
Yes, even these rare lifters know about the dangers, the
gains that are lost when they go off steroids and a whole host
of other problems to face.
In the past two years I have had an opportunity to witness
and observe two people that I have worked out with for years
finally seduced into the world of steroids and it was an eye
opener.
Many of you have asked, what it was that I learned from this
golden opportunity?
Okay, I will tell you what I have learned about the benefits of
steroid use.
I HAVE SEEN THE PROGRESS IN STRENGTH GAINS OF PEOPLE ON
STEROIDS AND I AM NOT IMPRESSED!
Yes, that’s right! I am not impressed!
Let me explain, but first I must digress a bit.
For years I have met many people that have admitted to me
their steroid use. These people have opened up to me, because
they either thought I was on steroids - because of my strength
levels, or they knew that I have no moral stand against steroid
use. They know I simply don’t give a shit what people do to
their bodies – as long as what they do does not adversely affect
other people.
Many of these people have shared with me that steroids
where the biggest factor that allowed them to attain a large
musculature and often times (but not always) great strength.
Many of these lifters had great size and only modest levels of
strength.
The buzz-words in the gym for superior size and
performance was steroids, and/or
freakishly superior genetics. I never had the
opportunity to know most of these people before their steroid
use and the handful of lifters that I had known prior to their
use of steroids - I had scant information as to their diets or
training program.
A few years ago, two friends gave me my first opportunity
to see from start to finish; what happens to naturally gifted,
super hardworking, ultra-disciplined and very scientific weight
lifting enthusiasts when affected by steroids on their bodies
and their performance.
One of them was twenty-five years old and I had known him
since he first started lifting at sixteen. The other guy is a
young vigorous athletic thirty-five and I have known him since
he was twenty-five.
I had the opportunity to observe the many diets and
training programs that they have followed over the years; and I
have seen the corresponding results to their assorted efforts.
Both of them wanted to have more lean muscular mass and both of
them wanted to be as strong as possible – especially my
thirty-five year old friend.
Both of these guys also believed that they had the
genetics to have world class strength and size without steroids,
but both wanted to make up for what they felt was lost
time that for one reason or another they felt they
squandered or was somehow stolen from them. They reasoned that
steroids would help them to attain their level of
comfort strength and development and once attained
they vowed to not use them.
At first they were shy about approaching me on their
decision to take steroids because they knew that I am for the
most part against them, … especially in my case. (I will explain
by the end of this column why I see their potential benefit).
Once I got a handle of what they were trying to tell me, I
encouraged them to be open and honest with me about their
steroid use.
Why you may ask? Once again the answer is simple.
(Actually it all is simple).
I was curious and I knew that this would be the perfect
opportunity to indulge the Nazi scientist that resides deep
within me. I wanted to know everything that they were going to
do.
I wanted to know what type of drugs they were going to use and
the dosages. I wanted them to tell me what each drug was
supposed to do for them. (Some drugs work more on improving
neurological response and increase strength performance without
size increase, while other drugs were designed more for the
intent to increase muscle volume).
My thirty-five year old friend has many advantages that
most steroid users don’t have.
He has lots of money, so the most effective drugs with the least
toxic affects were available to him.
He is both obsessive as well as extraordinarily intelligent, (He
is in fact a multi-skilled genius).
He trains so hard and intense that no one that I know of trains
more intensely – not even me!
He can be the most discipline person I know of when it comes to
sticking to a perfect diet and eating schedule, along with doing
every important detail towards his goals.
Last but not least, he employed many of the best lifters and
doctors who understand all the nuances of steroids and actively
advocate their use.
Added to the mix he was naturally strong and for his size
super strong in all areas except in the shoulder pressing or
benching movements. His only flaw to his physique was that he
lacked the muscular development in his shoulders and chest to
correspond to the rest of his body; and this was a sore point
with him.
It is here that I mentioned to my friend that there were
several methods that he could employ to correct this problem
without steroids, but he was insistant on his decision to use
the steroids and for the sake of continuity to this story, I
will discuss this a little further down.
Both of them were well armed and ready to start their
twelve-week steroid regimen
They both spent a lot of money on a wide array of drugs
(In their defense, many athletes spend more on supplements of
questionable value and effectiveness).
There were drugs that had to be administered at certain low
dosages as they were combined with other drugs and the dosages
of these drugs had to be adjusted upwards depending on the
advice from physicians and lifters. (at certain times, dosages
were lowered as prescribed).
As the twelve-week cycle progressed, one or more drugs may be
dropped or dosages lowered as others drugs were introduced into
their system.
During this cycle, six different anabolic steroids were
used. Some were used because they purportedly were the most
effective for size, others because of strength and others
because of their effectiveness for my friends to recover in
optimal time.
In addition to the steroids that they used, they had to
take other drugs to prevent or bypass the side affects that
often come during the steroid cycle and other
drugs to keep their bodies primed to restore normal use when
they went off the cycle. (After the cycle there
were even more drugs to add to help the drugs that they took
during the cycle to restore greater normalcy to their bodies and
to help them to hold on more effectively the gains that they
trained so hard for).
My thirty-five year old friend started to get bitch tits
within the first two weeks. Besides being unsightly, they caused
him discomfort of burning and itching. He had to go off one
steroid AND take a drug to block the estrogen receptors around
his nipples so they would not accept the elevated estrogen
produced by his increased analogous testosterone uptake. (His
body was fighting hard to keep up proper estrogen/testosterone
ratios). My twenty-five year old friend did not suffer this
problem.
My thirty-five year old friend started to suffer dramatic
hair loss. Before his steroid use, he had enough hair for three
people and his hairline was practically just over his eyebrows.
Baldness does not run in his family, however, genes that may
normally remain dormant, can either activate or do the opposite
by new hormonal influences. (Meaning, men who would never go
bald may with specific hormone interaction). He was taking
propecia – a drug to fight both his hair loss
and to prevent an enlarge prostate that often afflicts many
steroid users. My young friend had already lost much of his hair
before this steroid cycle due to his genetics.
Both of my friends started to suffer for severe acne on
their backs, especially my older friend.
He kept his acne under control with some oral medication and a
topical solution that he had his wife administer everyday.
Both of my friends suffered from sexual side affects
common to many, (not all) steroid users.
They suffered from both a rampant increase to
their libido and ironically, they suffered from an inability to
get an erection… not all the time, but enough for them to pick
up a prescription of Viagra. I must say, if it
weren’t for Viagra this combination of over active libido and
lack of ability even Margue de Sade could
not have constructed a more diabolical form of torture, (perhaps
this is the cause for all of the “Roid Rage”).
During part of their cycle they also started to retain too
much water, so they had a puffy look to them…not grossly so, but
enough to detract slightly from their appearance. This side
affect disappeared as soon as they cycled off one of the drugs.
Both of my friends suffered from increased edginess and
they both had trouble sleeping, whereas before this had not been
a problem for them. My older friend suffered one fit of rage
when a pedestrian leaped out in front of him in traffic. He
leaped out of his car, while it was in the center of an
intersection. He chased the guy for three blocks to pummel him,
until he came back to his senses.
My young friend never suffered from these rages, however, he
suffered chronic and major face twitches and teeth gnashing
while he was on this cycle and this anomaly stayed with him for
months after the cycle as well as his inability to achieve
proper sleep.
By now many of you are no doubt asking what benefits they
got from this cycle to even tolerate all of these nasty side
affects.
Well, as I said, steroids do work. They both gained
strength, muscular endurance and size during this cycle.
However, I was not impressed by the amount of strength that both
of them attained.
I WAS NOT IMPRESSED BY THEIR STRENGTH GAINS ON STEROIDS!
Let me explain why I was not impressed. My thirty-five
year old friend was benching 250 pounds for six tough reps at
the bodyweight of 180 pounds. As I already mentioned, he had
trouble increasing his performance insofar as the amount of
weight he could lift in the bench press or with shoulder
presses. He also severely lacked an adequate level of strength
endurance, especially where his bench and shoulders presses were
concerned.
To give you an example so that you fully understand what I
am saying; If a lifter performs a set, meaning, if he lifts say
100 pounds for barely 10 reps or 25 reps, the lifter should be
able to increase the weight by five or ten pounds after such a
set and perform with only a one or two rep drop in performance;
if they have adequate strength endurance and they should be able
to perform several sets until they cannot do a rep. This level
of strength endurance is essential for any lifter
that desires to increase both their strength or gain muscular
size.
A certain amount of volume must be incorporated into their
lifting program to stimulate a desired growth response from
their muscles.
My older friend could find a weight that he could perform
a sufficient rep maximum and his drop off of reps was so severe
he could not do the adequate number of volume sets with even the
same weight that he used for his first set. Whereas I often do
German tens after my heavy 25-rep maximum set and I do these
German tens with poundage’s heavier than my first heavy set,
sometimes with as much as forty pounds more.
My friend’s non-steroid lifting workouts were hampered for
two reasons. He avoid doing both heavy twenty-five reppers
because this would make him too tired to perform his maximum
amount of weight that he could do for ten reps; and since he
would push all out on his ten rep set, this killed his ability
to do sufficient volume with weights heavier than his first set.
My advice to him was to perform a twenty-five repper with
as much weight as possible after his first weight (Which meant
he would have dropped the poundage by quite a bit), which he
did. But he loathed dropping the weight even further to do the
German tens for the much needed volume.
His ego killed the gains I believe he would have attained. It is
my estimation that he could have increased his strength greatly
with the German tens and then eventually reversed the order of
his set performance. This he did not want to do because what I
advise would have taken at least six months. I argued that the
six months would be a one time affair and the stage for his
greatness would have been set.
On steroids his bench went from 250 pounds for six reps
and twelve weeks later his he could do 300 pounds for six reps,
if he started fresh. His strength endurance was especially
improved, On steroids, after he pyramided up to a weight that he
could not move, he would drop down in weight and perform his
German tens. His pride was massaged by the heavy weights that he
could lift on steroids in the six to ten rep range so that he
was able to perform the German tens without too much pain to his
pride and as a result, by the end of his steroid cycle, he was
able to do eight sets of ten reppers with 240 pounds on the
bench.
Overall however, I still am not impressed.
Most people are stunned to hear me say that especially if
they are capable of simple math and notice that he enjoyed a
fifty-pound increase with his six rep bench and a seventy pound
increase in his volume sets of ten reppers.
I still am not impressed and let me tell you why; but
first, let me tell you what did impress me… at least a little.
My friends gained a lot of non-fat weight during the course of
their cycle. My older friend went from 180 pounds to 220
pounds. That is a gain of forty pounds of non-fat tissue.
The lack of chest development had been corrected and his body
reached a level of symmetry that he had always craved.
In my estimation he achieve this level of thickness in his
chest and shoulders from training with the German tens – which
he could have done and achieved the same results without
steroids.
As impressed as I am with his added mass, I am not overly
so. Why? Because I had in my forties gone from 180 pounds up to
215 pounds. Yes if you factor in my four percent additional body
fat that means that I put on less muscle than my friend and to
be honest, I spent one additional month of my intensive
training.
However, let us forget that he was on a very sophisticated
steroid regime while I trained drug free. My friend for the
first time in his life did everything right. He ingested 6,000
perfectly balanced calories a day, while I ate 2,000 or less.
His eating schedule was optimal for both the acquisition of
muscle while keeping the fat off; while my diet was good, it was
not perfect and my eating schedule was less than optimal for his
type of gains. He took a lot of high-tech nutritional
supplements while I did not. His sleeping schedule was perfect
while mine was haphazard. His life had minimal stress, while
mine at the time was overly filled with harmful stress. Also,
because of the many stressors in my life and scheduling problems
I was not able to train the lower and heavy rep ranges that most
likely would have added an additional ten to twenty pounds of
muscle.
Now let us come back to his gains in strength during his
twelve-week steroid/workout cycle.
When you compare his gains in strength to what I achieved when I
was forty and reached my strongest it is no more favorable. My
gains were as good and often better, and unlike his progress, I
was not reaching a plateau as he was beginning to towards the
end of his cycle. In fact the rate of my progress would have had
me benching three times my body weight before another year had
passed.
(I benched 480 touch and go and 540 pounds was only 60 pounds
away). My gains on average, was 15 to 20 pounds of strength
added each month and showed no signs of slowing down.
In addition, I was able to match his gains in strength as
I had artificially suppressed my bodyweight (the 180 pounds you
see in the picture) by following an
extremely low caloric intake while his gains came from an
increase of forty pound of lean tissue. (almost 1 pound of
strength for every pound of increased bodyweight). As every
experienced lifter knows, it is extraordinarily much harder to
achieve gains in strength if you are preventing the growth of
muscular tissue.
One of the last questions that people will ask me after
learning all of this is: If all things are equal, that is, if
you are doing everything mentally, physically, emotionally
perfect, will the addition of being on a sophisticated top level
steroid cycle, would you be able to perform even better? Also
would you be able to use those steroids while keeping serious
side-affects at bay?
To this question, I can not answer with complete
certainty, because I have never taken steroids.
However, I would say that the likelihood that I would perform
better on steroids if I did everything perfect. And I also think
that I could most likely avoid serious health problems.
A last question would be, then why don’t I take steroids
if I believe that to be true.
This question is the easiest to answer. I have many good
reasons for not taking steroids.
I will use my friends to demonstrate why I think steroids prove
to be more of a liability for serious athletes and people
seeking to develop spiritually and mystically.
My friends took a lot of drugs other than the growth drugs
with the hopes of keeping the majority or at least a large
percentage of their gains while they went off their steroid
cycle.
Most people that take steroids; lose their size and strength so
fast when they go off steroids it is almost frightening A large
percentage of them actually fall behind the levels they were at
before their cycle of use.
The few that keep a respectable level of development – I
would argue that is roughly where they would be if they had
lifted without drugs.
My friends kept at best half of their strength gains and they
lost over half of their gains in muscular mass.
A non-drug users does not experience these losses. In fact
the longer you stay at a certain size and strength level, the
longer you maintain this level of performance and
development…even if you quit training. While my friends lost
much of what they achieved in weeks, regardless of maintaining a
good workout program and eating regime. I, on the other hand
have gone a few years without training or proper eating and I
kept most of my size and strength. It was only from years of no
training, insufficient calories or insufficient sleep and
nutrition along with being excessively sedentary and excessively
drinking that I managed to work hard enough to lose a large
percentage of my former gains.
Nevertheless, if you look at what I lifted the first day
back, you will see that my loss was not what most people would
expect. Certainly not what a former user of steroids could
expect; and the speed in which my muscles were able to lift what
I had previously is doubly so.
Okay, so now you see the comparisons of why you should not
be impressed with steroids. Now you may believe that lifting
without steroids is in many respects superior to using steroids.
Now I hope you ask the all important question; and that should
be, Why or how could it be possible that non-steroid users have
all of these advantages over steroid users.
For me this is where things get to be pretty exciting. The
phenomena that is the reason why non-steroid users have an
advantage of the steroid users is the same phenomena for both
groups.
What is that you may ask?
It is called muscle memory!
This label is deceptively overly simplistic, but for the
layman, it is sufficient… at least for now.
Our bodies…our muscles have a memory. If you are a non-steroid
user and you attain a level of proficiency. The easier it is to
reach that level the second time around - if for what ever
reason you had to quit training. The longer you maintain a
certain level of strength and muscular development the slower
the loss and the faster your comeback time will be.
This principle also applies to steroid users. Their
muscles have a memory of achieving levels of strength and
development but unfortunately it remembers it got there on
drugs. Without the drugs, your muscles are confused and without
using drugs again, your muscles may very well have trouble
coming back normally as non-steroid users. In fact, the more
frequently steroids cycles are employed and the longer you stay
on these cycles, the more likely you may have ruined your bodies
ability to ever accept normal drug free training.
Not much of an advantage from what I can see. The only
advantage for some people is that if you do everything perfect
and you take steroids and you do not have any intention of going
off of them, you will most likely reach your closer to your
potential notably faster than a non-drug user will. This is what
attracts certain people. They feel that they are working against
time, particularly people who are professional athletes or
desire to become one. There is the pressure to compete with
other young athletes for positions in sports that are pretty
much age and performance dependent.
Owners of these teams are looking at athletes as investments
with a long shelf life. This means the earlier a person can
reach professional proficiency the longer their career and the
better return on a team owners investment.
Muscle memory is a simplistic label for a much grander
concept. The truth is, we are a collection of organizational
intelligent energy and this organized energy of intelligence has
a memory or where it has been and where it can go. This
intelligence needs to be simulated properly to reach mystical
and transcendent states. It is these states that are stimulated
by the proper application of various energy systems that make up
and run our over all organized intelligence and vice versa.
This is done when instead of reaching for steroids, we
reach down deep within ourselves to transcend previous
milestones. It is the actuality of reaching these states that
compels our bodies organized field of intelligence to memorized
and yearn for these transcendent states by compelling the body
to constantly progress further and farther; much the way a train
seal will constantly perform for handsome rewards, or a gambler
who is rewarded greatly though randomly.
This is the greatest reward of lifting with out the ease
and convenience of drugs.
THIS IS WHY OVERALL I AM NOT IMPRESSED WITH STEROIDS.
However, I still see potential for their use… even for me
one day.
Steroids and other forms of hormone replacement therapy
may very well be the key to maintaining youth and longevity
while enjoying quality of life.
Since I am practical and do not believe in the morality or
the success of prohibition, I say, let us make use of the
hundreds of thousand of willing guinea pigs and see what can be
achieved with a variety of drug protocols.
My only judgment concerning steroid users? Any person that
participates in a drug free athletic event on performance
enhancing drugs should be banned for life from all athletic
events. Period!
