FAQ Steroid 1.0
I What are Anabolic Steroids
Anabolic steroids (AS) are synthetic derivative of testosterone (the male sex hormone). Testosterone is responsible for normal growth and development of the male sex organs and for the maintenance of secondary sex characteristics which include growth and maturation of the prostate, seminal vesicles, penis, and scrotum. Furthermore, testosterone help in thickening of the vocal cord, the alteration in body musculature and fat distribution, and the retention of nitrogen, water, and electrolytes.
II. The Good/Bad/Ugly (Taken from usenet)
Anabolic steroids are associated with numerous side effects. Most of the side effects are mild and reversible. However, some are permanent and life threatening.
In both sexes:
Acne
Carcinoma
Decrease in HDL to LDL (good to bad cholesterol) ratio
Depression
Edema due to fluid and electrolytes retention
Impotence
Increased or decreased libido
Insomnia
Liver cell tumors
Male pattern baldness
Nausea
Vomiting
In males:
Prostate Enlargement
Bladder irritability
Gynecomastia
Increased frequency of erection (And thats a bad thing??) LOL
Inhibition of testicular function
Testicular atrophy
In females:
Clitoral enlargement
Deepening of voice
Increase in facial and body hair
Menstrual irregularities
III. WOW No that your big how are your nuts and why do you have breasts???
Well many people think that your testes do shrink with roid usage..they can BUT it IS EASILY Controlable...and so is the gyno.
Tamoxifen Citrate (Nolvadex; Tamoxifen; Tamoxan)
Tamoxifen Citrate (TC) act on preventing gynecomastia (Gyno aka bitch tits) by blocking the receptor sites in the breast area. It is usually used with drugs that are easily converted to Estrogen (i.e. Testosterone and Anadrol). It comes in 10-40 mg tablets.
Dosage: 10-20 mg/day
Clomiphene Citrate (Clomid; Omifin; Serophene)
Clomid is a drug that is used to normalize the function of the testes. It acts directly on the hypothalamus to produce LH and FSH thus increasing the level of Testosterone in the body.
Dosage: 50-100 mg/day
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (Chorex; Gonic; Pregnyl)
HCG is a drug used to jump start the body's own production of testosterone after the end of a steroid cycle. It act in the body by imitating the action of LH (a hormone that regulated testosterone production).
Dosage: 1,500/5,000 Unit two to three times a week
IV. Are Steroids Addictive??
While Steroids are not Physically Addictive many people become mentally addicted to them feeling without them they cannot be who they are and accomplish what they would like to.
DRUG USE IN BODYBUILDING
GHB Use in Bodybuilding (Taken From UG Letter #1..Thanx CE!)
GHB is an interesting tool in a bodybuilders arsenal. A lot of bodybuilders swear by it, and a few will tell you it's no good. It is supposed to raise your Growth Hormone levels dramatically. Needless to say, and elevated GH level will make your muscles grow bigger, and the growth will be permanent. Some bodybuilders do not agree with this. I think GHB has received a bad rap due to some ignorant teens using it to get high with. But read on, and hopefully you can make an educated decision for yourself. By the way, I have some coming in so I can try it. I will report my experience next month in the November issue.
Gamma-hydroxybutrate or better known as GHB is a naturally occurring metabolite and precursor to gamma-aminobutrate or GABA. GHB was a widely available over the counter drug/supplement until it was banned by the FDA in 1990. GHB has many beneficial effects, but is used by bodybuilders because it is supposed to raise growth hormone levels! Studies, and tests on human subjects that were administered GHB have shown to cause as much as a sixteen-fold increase in natural growth hormone levels. But this in not all good, because along with the raise in growth hormone levels it also has shown increased levels of prolactin. Prolactin can counteract many of the positive effects of an elevated growth hormone levels. This may explain why some bodybuilders don't believe that GHB raises the growth hormone levels. On the positive side, many bodybuilders do feel that GHB can give performance enhancing effects such as increases to lean body mass and more strength. Some bodybuilders do not seem to experience higher lean body mass and strength, but they do feel that it helps accelerate body fat loss.
Another positive effect of using GHB is as a sleep aid. A small dosage will induce a relaxed state, maybe euphoria, and drowsiness. Using a higher dosage will help the user fall asleep quickly. GHB aids in the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) and slow-wave sleep, and unlike other sleep aids, GHB will not interrupt any stages of the natural sleep patterns. This is important in obtaining a complete nights rest. We all know that sleep/rest is important for recuperation and muscle recovery. The only negative with a GHB-induced sleep is that some users tend to wake up 3-4 hours later when the GHB will temporary inhibit the release of dopamine in the brain, and at the same time, will increase the dopamine storage. When the GHB wears off, there will be a sudden increase of dopamine release and that is what may cause some of the users to wake up in the middle of the night. This is more likely to happen, when too high of a dosage is used. If this happens, then you need to lower the dosage. Another way to negate this is to take another dose when you wake up to allow for more sleep. Some GHB users will experience feelings of improved well-being, alertness on the next day after a night of GHB induced sleep. This is probably due to the increase of dopamine released in the brain. I can relate and agree with this because if you have ever been on the diet drugs Phen-Fen, you will feel this a lot. Phen-Fen increases the levels of dopamine and seratonin in your brain. You don't feel hungry, but the biggest side effect that I had, was not being able to sleep. The well-being and happiness feelings are very present. Bill Phillips the great bullshit artist, master of the double standard, said he tried Phen-Fen and it made him feel listless. What an ass! Well we all know that he never has done drugs and the secret to big muscles is to buy EAS products and listen to his great expertise. I hate...........whoa! Hold on here! Oh yeah, GHB. Sorry folks I had to get that out, Now what was I saying? .......Oh yeah.
Along with euphoria, relaxation it can also enhance your sensuality, lower your anxiety, and inhibitions. It can also exhibit prosexual effects by improving your sense of touch, which in sex can enhance a mans erectile capacity. It can also increase ones sensitivity on an orgasm. This is why GHB has gained popularity as a recreational drug. But athletes choose GHB over alcohol, because unlike alcohol, GHB will not hinder athletic performance. Also, needless to say, GHB will not cause hangovers the next day. Sometimes GHB is used as an effective treatment of alcohol withdrawal symptoms.
XTC
While xtc is not a reccommended drug of choice in bodybuilding many pros use this drug to lose weight when they are cutting. We all here at bluelight know tht when on E we arent Hungry now are we!
The Imfamous Roid Rage......
Answer theere is no such thing!! Here are a few Post from a msg board..
Personally, i think theres no such thing as roid rage. Ive done my share of cycles and im not the most easy going guy, and ive never once flipped out. I think its all mental, just an excuse to act like you have balls.
I hear it and hear it but dont buy it the slightest amount. Pure myth.
It showed higher level test relaxed the body. Or coming off when naturel test production is slow and levels get below normal is the prime time for "rage" if your that type of person. Meaning rage ONLY comes from people who cant control themselves.
Roid rage is just a phenomenon created by the media and jumped on by lawers to get reduced charges for there defendants.
Obviously agression is uprated when on the juice, but I agree with all the posts above -especially the line:
"If you are an asshole on roids , you were probably just as much of an asshole without them."
Now then...RAge is Just Well Its not there just because you take certain said drugs does not make you an animal to society...
Its Late ill add more tomorrow im tired...anyone else feel free to chime in
