Bodybuilders Health Concerns – Bodybuilding Training With Steroids

During the last 18 months or so I have become a surfer. Not of the waves at Newquay – as a kid I couldn’t even roller skate without getting injured every day – but of the Internet and I have marked almost all the bodybuilding sites that I could find around the world. Some of these are not very good and I have dumped them, but others are quite informative. No doubt many readers will be better at using a computer than I am, but nevertheless I have picked up some useful information about bodybuilding training with steroids.

Poking around on discussion boards, one thing I notice repeatedly is the number of daft questions being asked about steroids and other gear used by Bodybuilders. Some web site monitors complain about the barrages of questions which they receive, all of which could be answered by looking in one decent book about drugs use in bodybuilding. I know that everyone has to start from scratch and learn but are there not some basic rules that should be applied? Basically there appear to be three types of questions.

1. I am just going to start my first cycle and I have the following drugs – [list of various drugs and quantities] – what do you think of the following course – [another list of drugs and dosages]?

2. I have just bought the following – [another list of drugs and quantities] – what course would you recommend for a first cycle?

3. I have been on the following course – [drugs programme that a top Pro would consider a bit heavy]. I have been having problems with headaches, I have swellings around my nipples, I have acne on my shoulders and back and my eyes have gone yellow. What do you think is the problem? Do I need to change my course?

There will be variations on these questions but you see the basic format. Someone is plunging into a drugs programme without doing basic homework. Is it not a fact that if you are serious about using powerful drugs, then before you even think about swallowing pills or sticking a needle in your bum, you find out everything you can about the drugs, what’s what; which are best for bulking; which are best for dieting down; which cause most side effects; which drugs to use with others in a stack; how long to stay on drugs; how long off; what dosages to use; etc.?

Apparently, the answer to all these questions is: buy the drugs first and sort out the rest later. I know of many cases of rookie potential bodybuilders buying the drugs before even joining a gym and starting to work out.

Most of you who have read the No Bull collection or this blog on a regular basis will be more sensible but even I get my share of unnecessary questions. Guys, if you have decided that bodybuilding and getting seriously big is very important to you and that you intend to use whatever it takes to get there then do it right so that you get maximum benefit and minimum risk.

Now I may not be a bodybuilding guru but I have been involved in the sport for a long time as a gym owner and as a competitor and I have learned by observation and experience. I want every serious bodybuilder to succeed and build that outstanding body and I do not condemn you for wanting to use gear. What matters is your health. So what do you have to do to get it right?

First of all train hard and seriously for one or two years – longer if you are under 20 years old – without using any gear or even thinking about using gear. This is not just an old fart trying to hold back your bodybuilding progress and you will be able to give me names of juniors who have thrived on gear. You can think what you like about me but the reality is that for most young men, using gear without building a basic foundation first is a recipe for disaster.

There is no doubt that on gear you will grow like a weed, but with proper training and nutrition you would grow like a weed anyway. I have experience of men who train for a few months, hardly grow at all and assume that they need gear. The reality is that they don’t grow because they don’t train properly or hard enough and eat almost no food – and what they do eat is often junk.

Tell them what they need to eat – forget the EXTRA they would need to eat if they used gear – and they will say bodybuilding is too expensive. Taking gear is not a substitute for food! But if you do train hard and eat properly using gear too soon the chances are that you will get a string of joint injuries that could dog your training for ever.

The problem is that the joints, tendons, ligaments and other connective tissues are just not ready for the loads being imposed on them. There is also some evidence that the heart needs time to adapt as well – and this is even more important. All these areas need time to develop strength to support the sort of loads that come with the rapid growth that follows the correct use of gear.

Okay, well I think that’s enough today, and next week I will give some bodybuilding training with steroids guideline to those of you muscle addicts that have been at it for at least a couple of years.
