What are anabolic steroids and how do they work?

It is common for athletes and bodybuilders to take anabolic steroids to improve their muscle growth and strength by boosting protein synthesis. Anabolic steroids are steroid hormones used to increase muscle mass, endurance, and strength.

The use of anabolic steroids is strictly forbidden in the vast majority of countries throughout the world. Their use is permitted by law when medically essential and prescribed by qualified medical professionals if purchased within the country.

However, even though anabolic steroids were first developed in the 1930s, they did not become widely available for commercial use until the 1950s. They were reportedly introduced for athletic use by American physician John Ziegler who administered Dianabol to the US weightlifting team in 1960, and they have remained common in sports ever since. They have been forbidden by the great majority of major sporting organizations because of the potential health risks they pose as well as the negative influence they have on the image of the sport from users who abuse these drugs and give them a bad name. This is why the stereotypical view on steroids is negative because many people misuse and abuse these medications.

Are they safe?

The straight answer is no, as NO medications are deemed as “safe”. There are hazards associated with the use of anabolic steroids, whether they are administered via intramuscular injections or taken orally. Most anabolic steroid pills have a significant risk of liver damage due to their much slower clearance in the liver.

Sharing needles with any substance is not a safe practice. If you use anabolic steroids and share needles, you run the danger of contracting a blood-borne illness such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or HIV/AIDS, among other diseases.

While it is true that there are potentially many risks associated with the use of anabolic steroids, these have generally been overstated in the media. Not all anabolic steroids come with the same risks.

Side effects are a risk with all medications depending on dosage and genetic response, and just like with these medications, if done correctly, with proper cycling protocols and dosing, anabolic steroids can be used in a way that is as safe as possible

Are they effective?

The answer to this question is a source of debate. If you talk to athletes, bodybuilders, trainers, and some physicians who have used or had experiences with anabolic steroids, you will find that they all agree that anabolic steroids increase lean muscle growth, strength, and endurance and are highly effective. Anabolic steroids are a class of drugs that are classified as performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs). These benefits of anabolic steroids will only be felt with correct training, nutrition, and recovery in place, without these factors, the results of anabolic steroids will be very minimal.

Do they have medical purposes?

Some anabolic steroids are commonly used to treat hormonal imbalances like hypogonadism or androgen deficiencies. Many anabolic steroids have also been used in the past to treat muscle-wasting diseases such as HIV/AIDS, breast cancer, osteoporosis, and angioedema. For medical reasons, the use of anabolic steroids for bodybuilding or boosting sports performance is not encouraged, but due to new pharma medicines replacing the use of Anabolic steroids, they have been noticed by the bodybuilding and sporting communities as being beneficial for progress. Such examples are Eminence Lab’s Oxanprime, which helps to stop muscle wastage when dieting, and Alpha Pharma’s NandroRapid which helps to ease joint pain by increasing synovial fluid in the joints.

What are the advantages of steroids?

If used correctly, anabolic steroids can come with a lot of therapeutic benefits, for example, testosterone used in low doses can help to improve the user’s mood, energy levels, and sexual function, while nandrolone can be used to help those suffering from problems with their joints, studies show it can reduce pain in worn out joints as well as speed up recovery from injuries.

Higher doses of steroids will help to improve the user’s recovery times after exercise, promote the growth of muscle tissue, increase strength and improve endurance levels. This will allow the user to obtain results at a much faster rate than before.

Will using multiple steroids create better results?

When using anabolic steroids, stacking multiple types can provide a lot of benefits as these steroids may follow different pathways in the body and allow for more receptors to be occupied, however, this is true up to a point. When it comes to steroids, the user should utilize as little as possible, if too many compounds are used too soon, receptors can become overloaded, which means doses will have to continue increasing for results to continue, this can then lead to a higher chance of risk.

This is why it is very important to have the correct guidance when it comes to steroid use as this will allow you to utilize the correct compounds for your goals at the safest doses

Side effects

The likelihood of experiencing side effects from anabolic steroids will depend on a variety of factors, such as the compound used, the doses taken, the length of exposure to the compound, and the user’s genetic response to it. Not all users will react the same way to these compounds, so it is important to always be as careful as possible when taking them.

When it comes to these potential side effects, some will be more severe than others. This is why it is always important to consider your health, if you have a history of liver problems, for example, oral steroids may not be the best choice for you. The following is a list of some of the more commonly reported side effects that users could experience.

●     Increased desire to eat.

●     Mood swings may occur.

●     Increased rate of body hair growth.

●     Hair loss.

●     Gynecomastia (Gyno).

●     Acne.

●     High blood pressure.

●     Fluid retention.

These are the adverse effects that are most often experienced. There are no provisions for all probable negative effects. If you have any queries concerning your personal circumstances, you should always consult with your doctor or an experienced user first to ensure you can avoid these potential side effects, to begin with, as these mainly occur when a user does not correctly use steroids

Beginner cycle guide

For a beginner, there will be a few different options for cycles depending on the user’s goals. Below we will cover some cycles for different goals and genders. We will also cover the total cost of these cycles and the reasons for the compounds suggested.

12-week lean gains cycle

For a 12 lean mass cycle, the choice of compounds will be among those that do not cause excess fluid retention. A great combination would be Testosterone Enanthate, Masteron Propionate, and Anavar. Testosterone will provide the base for any cycle, the Enanthate ester will allow for more stable blood levels, and Masteron will provide lean muscle growth, due to it being a DHT-based compound it will also help prevent estrogenic side effects, such as fluid retention that may be caused by Testosterone. Anavar will be used at the start of the cycle, this will encourage the growth of muscle tissue during the early stages of the cycle while you wait for the injectable compounds to become active in the blood.

The total cost of this cycle would be - £664

14-week mass building cycle

When planning a mass building cycle, the priority will be on overall growth, this makes longer acting esters more ideal due to these cycles usually being slightly longer. Due to these cycles being aimed at overall mass, a common cycle would be Sustanon, Boldenone, and Dianabol. Sustanon will act as the Testosterone base while Boldenone will aid in recovery, it can also have the welcome side effect of increasing the user’s appetite. Dianabol will be used as a kick starter for the first 4 weeks of the cycle, this will allow for mass to be added in the time it takes for these longer-acting compounds to become active in the body.

The total cost of this cycle would be - £420

10-Week Cutting Cycle

Cutting cycles will typically utilize shorter acting esters, these compounds will become active in the body quicker, ideal for the shorter cycle lengths, and will also exit the body quicker, meaning the risk of fluid retention is decreased. For this cycle, Testosterone Propionate, Masteron Propionate, and Clenbuterol. Due to its short half-life, Testosterone Propionate will act as the base for this cycle, Masteron, like in the lean gain cycle will help to promote the growth of lean muscle tissue with no risk of fluid retention. Clenbuterol will help to increase your body’s ability to burn off that excess body fat.

The total cost of this cycle would be - £370

6-Week Muscle Building Cycle (Female)

When it comes to muscle-building cycles for women, Anavar will typically be used by beginners, it has low androgenic to anabolic ratios, meaning the risk of virilization at reasonable doses is very low. Due to the way these compounds interact with the female body, doses will be significantly lower than those used by men, however, the results will still be incredible with an increase in muscle mass and strength.

The total cost of this cycle would be - £98

6-Week Cutting Cycle (Female)

When it comes to cutting cycles for women, Winstrol will typically be used, like Anavar, it comes with very little risk of virilization at low doses, making it very tolerable for female users, but where this compound shines is in its ability to expel excess water from the body, creating a leaner, dryer look. Clenbuterol will also be added to this cycle to increase the body’s ability to burn fat.

The total cost of this cycle would be - £49
