Benefits of steroids

Due to the increased use of anabolic steroids by athletes in sport and the increased risk of side effects, there are many discussions regarding the benefits of performance enhancing drugs in general. Therefore, it is very important to high light the benefits of the steroids, because there are many of them; and put some emphasis on the duration of those. As already mentioned in the previous articles, all the anabolic steroids carry different traits, have distinct features, require different dosages for obtaining specific results and should be used for a pre-determined period of time.These facts are very important because the benefits of using a particular steroid depend specifically on dosage, administration’ frequency, period of time and the expected result. While one may use testosterone for increasing the hormone level in blood and improve the overall sexual functions, others may use steroids for increasing the muscle mass, burning fat loss, enhancing physical performance or obtaining a "hard muscle” physical appearance. Therefore, before setting a specific goal, it is important to choose the right steroid that will help obtain it without any increased risk of side effects.

The benefits of using steroids

Before analyzing each of the benefits from using steroids we will refer to the purpose of using steroids in general. As steroids are considered performance-enhancing drugs, the main purpose of using steroids is to increase muscle strength; and this is the main reason why steroids are so popular among athletes and bodybuilders. We shall mention here that all steroids carry this benefit in their way. Besides the benefit of increasing muscle strength, steroids provide other benefits as well.

1.Increasing the muscle mass. Increasing the muscle strength would be incomplete without increasing as well the muscle mass, because it contributes to obtaining the "quality muscle” appearance. As all steroids increase the muscle mass, the difference between them is the period of time until obtaining such result. For example, oral steroids contribute to increasing the muscle mass in a relatively short period of time, compared to injectable steroids that require more time and well-established doses.

2.Increase the testosterone levels. While some strong anabolic steroids have the tendency to decrease the level of hormone, the testosterone steroid supplements the body with the necessary quantity of hormone without inducing any side effects.

3.Decrease in weight gain. Some anabolic steroids are better at burning fat than others. Therefore, if the decrease in stored body weight is your objective, choose the steroid that focuses mostly on that. (See the article: Weight loss steroids)

4.Improve physical appearance. It is a well-known fact that steroids contribute to creation of the so called "quality muscle” look and "hard” physical appearance. In order to obtain such results, most often athletes stack the base steroid with a milder steroid.

In order to obtain the enumerated benefits, one must understand that these are not obtained over night. The steroid cycles suppose many other things that have to be taken into consideration in order to decrease the incidence of side effects. These are: the right dosage, an adequate diet, training/exercises, pre-determined period of administration and others.
