To Use or Not to Use
Although the non-therapeutic use of steroids is illegal, I guess it’s up to each individual to decide whether he wants to use them or not; and whether he wants to go through life as a bodybuilder, a natural bodybuilder or a true natural bodybuilder.
However, before making the big step, please consider the following disadvantages of being a drug user:
* Non-therapeutic use of these drugs is illegal in most countries.
* If you are a competitive athlete you are cheating and may test positive.
* You will experience side effects and may be taking serious health risks. You need to be taking additional drugs to prevent or treat the side effects of the drugs you already took.
* Drug use may be addictive. You may lose your motivation to train without them.
* You may have to spend lots of money. Some drugs are very expensive.
* You give the sport a bad image. Bodybuilding is already very strongly associated with drug use.
* You will have to lie to everybody about your drug use. Will you tell it to your girlfriend or wife? What if she finds out?
* Most women don’t like doped bodybuilders. They find a Mr.Olympia type of physique, or anything close to that, very unattractive. But homosexuals tend to love this look and find it attractive.
* You might have to buy your drugs on the black market or the internet, and end up with fake or even dangerous stuff.
* You cannot really be proud of your results as most of them exist because of the drugs, not because of good genetics, proper diet, and hard training.
* How far will you go? Which and how much drugs will you use? How much money will you spend on them? Will you stop when you get female breasts, lose your hair, get severe acne and become impotent, or will
you continue till you get serious heart disease, diabetes or even cancer?
* When you stop using the drugs, you will lose a big part of all your muscle gains.
* End of the day is it really worth all the trouble??
