Steroids: pros and cons

Should you take steroids for muscle growth? How easy is it to tell if an athlete has taken doping? In this article, you will find everything about steroids and workouts.
There are several clear signs by which you can determine whether a person has taken doping. There are 7 factors.

# 1 Dramatic gain in muscle mass

If a person has gained ten kilograms of muscle mass in a short time - there is clearly not without steroids. Without additional stimulants, such results can only be achieved by young people who have high hormone levels. Without strength training and proper nutrition, this result cannot be obtained.

We can often observe a situation where a person has been attending a gym for years and achieves modest results. But after some time, he dramatically gains muscle mass. Do not believe the stories about the new training complex and special nutrition - there are doping supplements here.

# 2 Imbalance between the lower and upper body

The torso is more sensitive to hormone changes than the limbs. Just a couple of steroids can lead to the growth of major muscle groups. The muscles of the legs are the worst affected by doping.

Wide back muscles that are adjacent to weak legs indicate an inappropriate training program or doping. Steroids also work badly on the core muscles, leaving the waist unbelievably thin.

# 3 Build Muscles Against Weak Bones

In adulthood, it is incredibly difficult to change the structure and thickness of the skeleton. If a person has thin wrists that contrast with inflated limbs, it can be concluded that training did not help the person gain mass. There is a clear chemical interference here.

Tendons and ligaments are also weak despite the pumped muscles. Weights can cause injury. Also, such classes do not pass without leaving a trace and provide health problems after 30 years.

# 4 Press problems

If you use steroids, then not only muscle mass increases, but also internal organs. After that, they begin to literally lean on the chest, squeezing the stomach forward. A pumped-up abs, which is adjacent to an inflated belly, signals the use of chemicals. This turns out to be true half the time.

# 5 Rash on face and body

When you take steroids, your hormone levels are artificially increased. This often leads to disturbances in the functioning of the sebaceous glands. This can lead to irritation and rashes on the face and body. The most vulnerable part is the back.

If an adult develops a rash, this indicates stress, interruptions in nutrition, or the use of chemical stimulants. If skin problems appear during muscle building, this is a guarantee of the use of doping.

# 6 Changing the shape of the nipple

A side effect of taking stimulants is gynecomastia, which leads to deformation of the nipple. This is due to breast augmentation. The nipple swells and grows in size.

A toned and slender figure with prominent nipples and prominent abs in men speaks of genetic characteristics, or steroids. In most cases, such features are due precisely to the intake of chemical stimulants.

# 7 Stretch marks

Stretch marks can appear with steroid use. This is due to the dramatic increase in muscle mass. The skin does not have time to adapt to such changes and cannot maintain its elasticity.

During rapid weight loss, a person may notice stretch marks in the abdomen or thighs. Athletes who are exposed to chemicals have stretch marks on their chest and biceps. Most often, it is impossible to get rid of them only if you resort to plastic surgery.

There are no universal criteria by which to identify an athlete using steroids. Each person has an individual organism. None of the above points are able to say with complete certainty about this.

But if a person can observe several signs at once, this makes it possible to judge the taking of doping with almost 100 percent probability.
