Taking Your Fitness Goals Seriously? Get The Information You Need Regarding Steroids

January, 2010 - It’s an age-old issue: since as early as the first Olympic Games in 776 BC, athletes have been tinkering with their training and dietary regimens to enhance performance. Particularly in today's society, where scholarships to Division 1 programs are worth six figures and a demo for the pros; where professional athletes can make millions of dollars a year and are treated like celebrities, the temptations to gain a competitive edge are rife.

When used with responsibility and with knowledge of the upsides as well as the risks, Steroids can help with reaching your fitness goals. By reading the site’s blog and community discussions, the story of these supplements becomes clear.

Anabolic steroids were first used to enhance muscle mass in the 1940s. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s their use was rampant in sports. In 1967, the International Olympic Committee was the first sports organization to ban steroids.

Major League Baseball first came under fire in 2002, when a former MVP, Ken Caminiti, told Sports Illustrated that at least half the players in the majors were using steroids. This was followed by a tell-all book by Jose Canseco corroborating Caminiti's comments. Baseball's all-time home run leader, Barry Bonds, was indicted for allegedly lying to a grand jury about his use of performance enhancing drugs. And just recently, home-run king Mark McGwire has brought himself back on the national radar with his comments regarding his use of performance enhancing substances.

Okay, just what are these little things? Anabolic-androgenic steroids are synthetic derivatives of the male hormone, testosterone. Steroids are occasionally prescribed by doctors to treat certain medical conditions, such as hypogonadism or impotence. They work by increasing protein synthesis in muscle cells, stimulating the body to release endogenous growth hormone, and reversing the effects of the body's naturally occurring cortisol, which is a catabolic hormone. A net effect of these actions is increased muscle mass and strength.
