I wonder why someone would use these kind of synthetic derivatives - especially when you can boost and/or maintain your testosterone level naturally with no side effects mentioned in your article.

Oh, there's no question steroids do boost muscle growth; that's why they are outlawed. Any freakazoid bodybuilder did not get that big naturally. An in spite being banned, competitive bodybuilders risk all trying to get a hold of that junk.

But you are spot on about the serious risks to health using them poses. In my view they are far from being worth the risk to my health.

This is an extremely one-sided article that neither mentions, nor admits to, positive side effects of steroids. Testosterone is available by prescription because it DOES have positive effects for some men who need it. Also, your statement that, "There is no scientific proof that this steroids helps in an athletes performance" is ridiculous. Any doctor will tell you that anabolic steroids help athletes recover from workouts. Is it worth the medical and legal pitfalls? That's for each individual to decide.

I agree with Specificity! You have to have two sides of the argument.

Bodybuilders who take steroids are normally dedicated guys who take their own body condition seriously. They will have looked into the whole side effects arguments before they start.

Used properly they can help boost bulk and condition. Used improperly they are dangerous. So is aspirin!

You get some good advice here: http://www.steroids-express.com/ dazstone, they also supply reliablly and use quality products. You are quite right to want to find out more before you start using.

Hope this helps!
