Like many fitness enthusiasts or professional bodybuilders, in order to build a muscle, it can be said that it is more professional than ordinary bodybuilders and the strength training is more professional. At the same time, their diet and supplements are more scientific than ours. Their training is divided into muscle gain period and fat loss period. We ordinary people may feel great after drinking a protein powder to supplement protein, and these muscular men, in order to make their muscles bigger, will inject steroids and other drugs to break through their muscle gain limit or make their muscles gain faster. So what about those muscular men who use steroids to exercise their muscles?
First, the side effects of androgen
As we all know, it is not rigorous to talk about harm without talking about dose. A small amount of steroid drugs will not only do no harm to the body, but also have many benefits. But the problem is that if steroid drugs are used less, they actually have little effect, while if steroid drugs are used more, they will cause too much androgen in the body. Androgen drugs are used too much, sometimes it is not a good thing, which will cause hair loss, acne and bad mood.
Second, the side effects of estrogen
When the androgen in the body increases, part of it will be converted into estrogen during the metabolism of the body. A lot of androgens means a lot of estrogen metabolites. When there is too much estrogen in men, there will be many female characteristics, which is believed to be unbearable for all men.
Third, the damage to liver function.
In fact, if the real harm of using steroids to gain muscle is the damage to liver organs, the scientific name is cholestatic liver injury, which is somewhat similar to alcoholic hepatitis caused by drinking. In severe cases, it may cause renal failure, but it is not the use of steroids that will cause damage to the liver. If steroids are used according to the doctor's advice, the liver damage caused is actually very small, and it is completely repaired by itself.
However, then again, people who use steroids in fitness rarely overuse steroids. After all, it's all fame and fortune.
Do you think it's really worth getting some fame and fortune in a way that harms your health?
