Are the negative effects of steroids worth it?


 
Fitness
The cost benefit analysis of whether the negative side effects of taking steroids is worth it will, of course, vary by the individual and be different for everyone. The motivation behind using these substances is an important issue to consider. Some individuals partake in steroids purely for the physical results. The increased muscle mass that accompanies steroid use as well as the swiftness with which it occurs holds a strong appeal for many people.

For athletes, the answer seems to often be “Yes, it is worth it.” However, it’s important to take note of how many careers and lives have been irretrievably altered as a result. Professional sports players are often looking to enhance their performance on the field or increase their caliber of play during an event. Some elite athletes are highly driven to succeed at specific meets or Olympic Games and, as such, focus on the use of steroids around that time period. Others enjoy the change in their physical appearance and the bulking up effect that results from steroid usage. In most of these rarified arenas, professionals are expected to be at the top of their industry and have tangible results to show for it. The pressure to compete and succeed can be immense and is often a contributing factor. Often, steroid use is linked to concrete physical gains in sports such as baseball or cycling. In these professions, a few extra miles at a high rate of speed or additional homeruns can spell the beginning of a lustrous career for some sports players. The temptation to use steroids is therefore quite strong in some contexts.

Many athletes also confront the hard truth that sports are skewed to favor younger and younger competitors. Therefore, simply maintaining skills and physiques that were once second nature begins to require an increasing amount of effort. For someone with immense natural talent, the notion of maintenance or improvement may be difficult to master without resorting to steroid use. Unfortunately for people who decide to use steroids, there are painful consequences that may not become readily apparent until after usage has ceased. Athletes are often sanctioned or suspended due to the characterization of steroid use as cheating in most professions. Ordinary individuals taking steroids for personal reasons are also at risk of facing serious health issues both immediately and in the future.

Some individuals claim that steroids reduce recovery time for muscles between workouts and physical exertion. This, in turn, facilitates increased amounts of training sessions which could improve skill level and strength training. However, these reasons may not be sufficient to conclude that steroid use is a good fit for everyone. Certainly, some people suffer from addictive personality traits that suggest steroid usage would likely become abusive after a period of time. Others, on the other hand, may be able and willing to tolerate the aesthetic side effects without much trouble. Even so, the health consequences are major concerns that should be carefully weighed and considered in conjunction with a licensed medical professional before starting a regular steroid regime.

Anabolic steroids are like synthetic hormones that have the ability to boost your body's processes in order to gain more muscle mass faster and prevent muscle breakdown along the way.
