All about Steroids

Steroids

 

 What are steroids?

 Anabolic androgenic steroids are synthetic derivatives of the male hormone testosterone that are taken to build muscle, enhance performance, and improve appearance. The drug’s anabolic or “muscle-building” effects help the body retain protein, a necessary building block for the growth of muscles, bones, and skin. The androgenic or “masculinizing” effects cause the development of a deep voice, facial and body hair, muscle mass, and aggressiveness. Unfortunately, steroid abusers risk a variety of unwanted side effects, some of which are irreversible. Another significant danger includes HIV infection if needles are shared.

Some common trade names of anabolic androgenic steroids include Anatrofin, Anaxvar, Annadrol, Bolasterone, Decadiabolin, Decadurabolin, Dehydropiandrosterone (DHEA), Delatestryl, Dianiabol, Dihydrolone, Durabolin, Dymethazine, Enoltestovis, Equipose, Gamma Hydroxybutilate, Maxibolin, Methatriol, Methyltestosterone, Parabolin, Primobolin, Quinolone, Therabolin, Trophobolene, and Winstrol. Slang terms include Gym Candy, Pumpers, Stackers, A’s, Anabolics, Arnolds, Bolins, GHB, Oxys, Anabols, Balls or Bulls, Delatestryl, Maxibolin, Weight Trainers, Arnies, Dep-testosterone, Methyltestosterone, Rhoids, and Juice.

 Some of the side effects and facts of steroid use? 

Anabolic steroids can be authorized by a doctor in the case of delayed puberty, cancer, or AIDs, but should never be self-prescribed.

Often times, drug abusers of steroids take 10 to 100 times more than would be prescribed by a physician to treat a condition or illness.

Common side effects of steroids are mood swings, manic behavior, insomnia, irritability, and lack of good judgement.

For men in particular, steroids often cause shrinking of testicles, breast growth, hair loss, infertility, and a higher risk of testicular cancer.

Anabolic steroids are commonly used among teenage athletes to bulk up. Unfortunately, the improper use of steroids (even at a young age) causes stunted growth, kidney impairment or failure, liver damage, and increased risk of heart attack or stroke.

Teenage girls use steroids as a way to improve or change their body shape. The side effects include male pattern baldness, a permanently deepened voice, breast shrinking, and detrimental changes to the menstrual cycle.

Steroids are serious drugs and drugs are addictive. Discontinuing use often leads to withdrawal and depression, which creates a lack of physical drive or social interaction among users.

Myth about supplements

                           Myth about supplements

Myth 1: Whey Protein Makes You Fat

Truth – Whey protein doesn’t make you fat. Only eating an excessive amount of daily calories can make you gain fat. Eating a proper amount of daily protein will ensure maximum muscle gains. On the other hand, if you under eat protein, you make it harder for your body to add muscle.

Myth 2: Supplements Are A Waste Of Money

Truth – There are an amazing number of effective nutritional and muscle building supplements on the market that help to maximize performance and overall health. Don’t let the exaggerated claims of a handful of snake-oil salesmen keep you away from products that amplify your efforts.

Myth 3: I Eat A Good Diet, I Don't Need Supplements

Truth – A well-balanced diet is a good start, but it does not mean that you are meeting all of your body’s nutritional needs. Nutrient needs can change and fluctuate because of age, health, stress and intense training. Consider supplements an insurance policy, one that fills in the gaps.

Myth 4: All Supplements Are The Same Quality

Truth – Not all supplements are created equal. Different companies have different standards. Some companies rely on a lower quality and purity of raw materials so they can provide a lower price. Don’t purchase supplements based on price. You may be throwing your money away. Instead, seek out the opinions of others and research the best-selling products.

Myth 5: Creatine Is A Steroid

Truth: Creatine is nothing like a steroid. Creatine is a natural substance found in the human body that helps to supply energy to (primarily) muscle cells. Performance enhancing anabolic steroids are drugs that mimic the benefits of the male sex hormone testosterone and are most commonly taken in excessive, dangerous dosages. While creatine is safe and natural, steroid use comes with many potentially dangerous side effects.

Myth 6: Supplements Improve Your Strength And Muscle Mass Even If You Don’t Train

Truth – While supplements can improve your overall health, battle stress, improve sleep and bolster your immune system, they are not magic pills and powders that can turn you into a bulging bodybuilder. Supplements help to amplify your training, but they will not make you bigger or stronger if you are not working hard in the gym.

Myth 7: Supplements Cause Many Side Effects

Truth – The majority of ingredients contained in supplements are found naturally in the human body, or in the food we eat. Proper supplementation yields very minimal side effects.

Myth 8: Creatine Causes Kidney Damage

Truth – Because of it’s popularity as a performance boosting supplement, creatine use has been extensively studied. Creatine has been shown to be safe and non-toxic for use by individuals with a healthy kidney (renal) function.

Myth 9: Creatine Use Causes Muscle Cramps

Truth – As with the previous myth, this myth has also been studied and proven to be incorrect. In fact, one study revealed that athletes who supplement with creatine actually experienced fewer muscle cramps, strains, injuries, dehydration and muscle tightness. (Mayhew, Mayhew, and Ware)

Myth 10: Everyone Will Experience The Same Benefits From A Supplement

Truth – This is completely false. Each individual is unique, and no two athletes train the same or eat the same. Often times you will find that creatine or pre-workout, nitric oxide supplements work better for some than others. In fact, it is often the case that one person will experience minimal benefits from one brand, but receive great benefits from another. Don’t assume that because a supplement didn’t work well for your friend, that it won’t work for you.

Myth 11: High Protein Diets Are Unhealthy

Truth – There is no research to back up the claim that a high protein diet impacts healthy individuals with proper kidney functioning in any negative way.

Myth 12: Athletes Do Not Need Extra Protein

Truth – Research reveals that hard working athletes do require extra protein. Exercise tears down muscle tissue, and additional protein helps assist the body in repairing and rebuilding this damaged tissue. In addition, studies point to the reality that athletes who undereat protein – or eat what is considered to be a "normal" amount of protein – actually lose muscle tissue.

Myth 13: Fat Burners Are A Waste Of Money

Truth: Most popular fat burning supplements contain a battery of ingredients that are effective at stimulating your metabolism and encouraging and assisting the body with burning fat. While fat burners are certainly not miracle products that will help you shed fat even if you are eating poorly, combined with weight training, cardio and a proper diet they assist in bolstering your energy and metabolism during long periods of weight loss.

Myth 14: Our Body Produces Enough Omega-3 Fatty Acids On Its Own

Truth – The body doesn’t produce omega-3 fatty acids on its own. Omega-3’s are considered essential, meaning the body is incapable of producing them, and they must be obtained through the food we eat. Supplements such as fish oil supply the body with needed omega-3 fatty acids, and are very beneficial to hard-training athletes and individuals who are on a limited calorie diet.

Those who fears supplements and give the most serious warnings are the one  who know nothing about them.

Body gain suppliments

Body gain supplements

Bodybuilding The category of body gain supplements is a very broad one. It can include a wide array of products, designed to take your training to the next level by increasing the efficiency of any bodybuilding program. Even if your main focus isn't bodybuilding, these supplements can help any individual accomplish their goals associated with their current exercise program.

Sadly, when many think of bodybuilding and the supplements associated with it, the first thing to come to mind is anabolic steroids. This is far from the case as only a small percentage of bodybuilders uses these substances. There is a huge array of legal and non-hormonal products to help you achieve new levels in your physique. While these over the counter supplements aren't going to have as much effect on adding lean muscle mass as the illicit and illegal anabolic steroids would, it's important to not underestimate their potential for helping you gain lean mass and cut body fat without the possible negative side effects.

Some of the post popular supplements out there are creatine, protein and multivitamins. More specifically, creatine is one of the most misunderstood supplements of all time. A victim of a negative media spin, many believe that creatine is a dangerous and steroid like supplement that carries serious adverse side effects. This couldn't be further from the truth; it is one of the most thoroughly studied supplements of all time. We won't give you a lecture on human anatomy, but we will do our best to explain how creatine works. The energy that fuels muscles is called ATP. Creatine simply provides your body with more of this substance. This in turn will help allow you to complete a few more repetitions than you normally would, aiding in muscle growth.

Protein should be the one supplement that the rest of your stack is built around. It is crucial for cell repair and growth, and can have some of the most noticeable effects in terms of how a product will make you feel. It won't make you able to compete for the Olympia overnight, but you will notice improved recovery (reduced soreness) if you take it immediately after working out. It is especially important while bulking as the amino acids it provides are the building blocks of muscle.

If you aren't already taking a daily multivitamin, we are sure you've heard the importance of including one every day. It certainly is a good investment. A good multi doesn't just help you stay healthy, but if you aren't getting all of your nutrients, you could be hurting your progress at the gym. You may have some nutrients covered through the foods from your diet, but the multivitamin will fill in any gaps that you may have. One way to think of a multivitamin is "covering all your bases".

Some of the body gain supplements are listed below :

Weight Gainers:

Weight gainers have long been used by bodybuilders and athletes to increase body weight. Weight gainers are supplement that typically are composed of a combination of carbohydrate, protein, and fat. Typically, these gainers come in a powder or a ready-to-drink liquid form. The powder form must be mixed with water, milk, or juice before being consumed. The ready-to-drink form is typically more expensive 

Pre Workout : 

Pre workout supplements are specifically formulated supplements to help you get the most out of your workout. Most contain some sort of combination of creatine, nitric oxide, caffeine, amino acids, BCAAs, carbs and other nutrients to push your workout to the next level. 

Recovery / Post-Workout:

Recovery products are to be taken immediately post-workout and help jump-start the recovery process. Most recovery products include protein, amino acids and carbohydrates. 

Bodybuilding: Diuretics:

Diuretics help rid your body of excess water in order to look as cut as possible. Diuretics are typically used by bodybuilders before a competition. 

ZMA:

ZMA is zinc mono methionine aspartate and magnesium aspartate. ZMA is to be taken right before bed, and helps you sleep better than deeper. Your muscles rebuild in your sleep, so optimizing this important period of time is key to building muscle.

Energy suppliments

Energy  

Energy supplements, whether drinks, bars, or powders, are designed to help you stay awake, focused and attain your goals.

Energy: Carbohydrates  

Carbohydrates are one of the most victimized macro nutrients these days. With the low-carb/no-carb diets getting a lot of press in recent years, many are afraid of them and avoid them at all costs in fear that it will make them fat. However, this could be further from the truth. They are the body's primary source of energy, and not consuming enough of them can lead to negative aspects such as lethargy, decreased performance, muscle loss and other undesirable side effects.

Carbohydrates are one of the most important weapons in your arsenal. They replenish muscle glycogen after your workouts and provide energy to your brain and working muscles. While there have traditionally been 'good' and 'bad' carbohydrates, this isn't necessarily true. What's more important than having 'good' carbs or 'bad' carbs is what type of carbohydrates and when they are consumed.

Complex (slow digesting) carbohydrates that are low in the glycemic index are the best choice for the majority of the day as they won't cause a rapid spike in the hormone insulin. They provide slow and steadily burned fuel and will be the most beneficial for their proposed benefits. However, post workout and during your workout, simple (fast digesting) carbohydrates are the best choice as they are rapidly absorbed and will provide fast fuel and replenish muscle glycogen.

While your best sources of complex carbohydrates are whole food sources, carbohydrate supplements that fall into the complex category are oat powder, bran flour, and brown rice powder. Carbohydrates supplements that fall into the rapidly digested category are more common in the supplement industry and include waxy maize, dextrose, maltodextrin and glucose.

Energy: Energy Bars  

Energy bars help supply you with the carbohydrates and calories you need for continued athletic output.

Energy: Energy Drinks  

  Energy drinks are a carbonated beverage with added ingredients for energy. They are a relatively new supplement as they have only been around since the mid 1990's, but have had an explosion in the number of individuals that use them. They primarily work with the use of stimulants which stimulate the central nervous system. Common ingredients include caffeine, taurine, b vitamins and in some cases antioxidants.

One of the ingredients used in many energy drinks to provide quick energy is sugar. This is good in the fact that it will provide a quick energy source, but it is a negative drawback as it will spike insulin and you'll crash when it wears off. One option is to consider the sugar free version of energy drinks as you'll be able to avoid the crash.

There are many popular energy drinks of the market including Monster, Red Bull, Rockstar, Venom, Full Throttle, Amp and countless others are available with new ones being developed and released all the time. Users must exhibit caution when utilizing these drinks as they can be high in stimulants. Other products on the market such as pre-workouts and even coffee have additional stimulants in them and too many can have negative side effects such as insomnia, nervousness, anxiety, heart palpations and elevated blood pressure.

Energy: Energy Supplements  

Energy supplements are designed to bring you to that next level of endurance, and keep you going when you wouldn't normally be able to push on.
