Steroids… Or what? (part 2 of 2)


Myths
There are myths surrounding steroids: some true, some false.

True: Steroids works, bigtime.
False: The more you take, the better.

And numerous others of course. It's mostly common sense though. Of course they work, so each scientific study suggesting that they DON'T is either flawed and/or stupid. Plain and simple. I mean, c'mon! If they were just hype, then why would all the pro athletes risk getting busted for using them? And even though oral steroids seem more "innocent" than injectables, they're of course more harmful as they're giving the liver a beating TWICE - both at digestion AND when in the bloodstream. "The more, the better" doesn't hold true as you have only so much capacity to handle hormones. Overloading your receptors sure as hell won't do you any good - it only makes side-effects worse and gives you a harder time getting your own production back on it's feet once you're off the juice.

And so on. Like I said: Common sense.

Finally, I'd like you to compare it to buying/renting a car.
Assume you have a certain amount of money. Taking steroids is like renting the coolest Ferrari you can find, and you can go cruising around downtown for a week feeling like Mr.Coolness himself. However, after that week you run out of money and end up walking instead. It was fun while it lasted, but as your feet start aching you might regret it (as in when you start losing your hair, get enlarged intestines = eternal beer gut, bitch tits start surfacing etc). The natural bodybuilder doesn't blow his money on a rented Ferrari. Instead, he buys a reliable Volvo. Granted, that first week he feels pretty much left behind when the other guy is zooming past him with a Ferrari full of hot babes and leaves him coughing in the dust, BUT after that one week, when the first guy returned his Ferrari and the second guy is still driving his Volvo, who's laughing then?
