1. Using Excessive Dosages
When taking steroids, the more you take is not always the best way to
go. Taking excessive dosages has become a huge problem with steroids
today. It isn't only dangerous, but studies have shown it to be ineffective.
The body can only use a limited amount of the steroid so the extra is
turned into estrogen by the body.
2. Staying On Steroids Too Long
In several cases, steroid users avoid warning signs telling them not
to go on a cycle more than 8 to 12 weeks without an off period. If
an off period is not taken, there is a higher chance for the negative
effects of steroids to occur. If there is no off period the body does
not have a chance to recover from the steroids, so more damage is
done. This also is terrible for the kidneys and liver.
3. Eating Poorly
Many people ignore magazines and educators that explain eating as
being an important asset to growing, but the truth is, eating healthy
has a big effect on the body. When on steroids the user must consume
between 4000 and 7000 calories a day, not meaning eat only fat foods.
The diet must be high in calories and protein, but low in fat.
4. Training Incorrectly
When on steroids the training must be intense and difficult. Instead
of the usual weight that suits you, you must do excess weight and
strenuous work for the best gains. The workout should involve the
maximum weight possible, and make progress each time.
5. Not Getting Regular Blood Tests
Steroids are very dangerous and can cause great problems. Blood tests
should be done often and regularly. When steroids are first taken
many tests become elevated but will return to normal with in a few
weeks. During the off period tests should also be done to make sure
the body is recovering properly. If there is a problem with the Blood
test, consult a doctor that you can trust.
6. Using The Wrong Steroids
Many athletes will increase their chances of getting negative effects
when they take the wrong steroids. The strongest steroids that build
more muscle mass, have the most side effects. These drugs should be
avoided if possible, unless there is a reason to have an unbelievable
gain. But these drugs are very toxic and I would recommend not taking
them.
7. Using Counterfeits
Counterfeit steroids are a bigger problem than you would believe,
there are more counterfeit steroids in the market than you would think.
These steroids offer no positive gains, and some give the side effects
of real steroids. Taking counterfeit steroids is like injecting poison
into your body, bad effects nothing positive.
