BODY BUILDING : STEROIDS CANNOT DO IT ALL ALONE
What are these steroids?
A steroid is an organic compound with four rings arranged in a specific molecular configuration. Examples include the dietary lipidcholesterol, the sex hormones estradiol and testosterone and the anti-inflammatory drug dexamethasone. Steroids have two principal biological functions: certain steroids (such as cholesterol) are important components of cell membranes which alter membrane fluidity, and many steroids are signaling molecules which activate steroid hormone receptors.
The steroid core structure is composed of seventeen carbon atoms, bonded in four "fused" rings: three six-member cyclohexane rings (rings A, B and C in the first illustration) and one five-member cyclopentane ring (the D ring). Steroids vary by the functional groups attached to this four-ring core and by the oxidation state of the rings. Sterols are forms of steroids with a hydroxyl group at position three and a skeleton derived from cholestane. They can also vary more markedly by changes to the ring structure (for example, ring scissions which produce secosteroids such as vitamin D3).

CAN STEROIDS DO IT ALONE?
they allone cannot do it . it takes the person hardwork steroids just give it a fast rate but if u think not working properly you are going to get those big biceps, no buddy a big no ..............
you have to work hard for that 16inches bicep
DIET is much more important
PCT is important for all these steroids cycle
BENEFITS OF STEROIDS
Scandals involving steroid use by sports figures are frequent--athletes appear willing to risk their health, employment, and freedom to gain an “edge” on the competition. Such risk is not surprising given the large financial rewards often involved. The use of performance-enhancing drugs is typically covert, thus well-done research showing the effects of anabolic steroids on athletes is rare. Yet testosterone treatment increases muscle strength, body size and healing rate. These benefits, however, are associated with many short-term and long-term risks.
Increased Muscle Strength
It is well known, both scientifically and anecdotally, that steroid use increases muscle strength. A recent study by Rogerston and colleagues (2007) nicely illustrates this effect of performance-enhancing drugs. These authors showed that testosterone enanthate, the most commonly used (and abused) form of testosterone, increased bench press strength and cycling performance in healthy subjects relative to placebo. Previous research had shown that such effects were typically obtained in 6 to 12 weeks of treatment, yet these researchers demonstrated significant effects within 3 weeks. These surprising results show that steroid use can quickly increase muscle strength.
- INCREASE BODY SIZE
- The Rogerston and associates study also showed that steroid use increased body size. In fact, a large amount of research supports that finding. A well-done experiment by Giorgi and co-workers (2009) typifies such studies. The latter authors tested the effects of testosterone enanthate in healthy weight trainers. Testosterone significantly increased body weight, bicep girth and quadricep circumference. This study also revealed a increase in abdomen “tightness.” That finding is unusual, however, as most studies do not indicate a fat-reducing effect of steroid use (Hartgens and Kuipers, 2004).
RISK DUE TO STEROIDS
It is irresponsible to describe the benefits of steroids without mentioning the risks associated with their use. Hartgens and Kuipers (2004) present both the positive and negative effects of performance-enhancing drugs in their excellent review of the steroid literature. These authors noted that testosterone use increases unwanted libido and aggression as well as disfiguring acne and hair. Performance-enhancing drugs also alter the internal hormone milieu during (and for months after) their use. Most concerning of all, however, is the adverse cardiac effects of anabolic steroids. Exogenous testosterone increases resting blood pressure and decreases “good” cholesterol level. In addition, steroids alter heart structure and functio
