When Bodybuilding and Steroids Go Too Far

Right or more often the case wrong, athletes have been taking anabolic steroids since the early 1960′s. Many competitive bodybuilders go to excess in taking steroids in order to compete citing that ‘extreme sports require extreme measures,’ using a plethora of various forms for different effects — one might increase muscle hardness while another will improve mass, strength or endurance — thus becoming human walking chemistry sets.
Synthetic anabolic steroids are potent medications designed to mimic the function of testosterone which can even perform better at promoting muscle growth than equivalent levels of testosterone.
Often coined as being juiced or juiced up amongst those who use the drugs, some say “steroids are as American as Apple Pie.”
Hazards of Steroids for Men and Women
While it’s not as common to suffer critical or life-threatening effects, steroids are far from safe, causing potentially harmful side-effects with some being irreversible.
Both genders can experience increased acne on the face, chest and back.
Depending on the drug, anabolic steroids can cause a person’s behavior can change with increased aggression and irritability. Some of this aggression has caused people to commit armed robbery, use force to obtain something, and physical fighting. This would not happen to a naturally calm person but someone who is naturally aggressive would become more aggressive by taking steroids.

Anabolic steroids have also been known to cause behavioral effects including euphoria, increased energy, sexual arousal, mood swings, distractibility, forgetfulness, and confusion.
Bad side-effects on blood pressure and the cardiovascular system can cause heart attacks, enlargement of the heart’s left ventricle and people younger than 30 to develop Cardiovascular disease.
Blood chemistry can change causing blood clots in the blood vessels and potentially disrupt the blood flow, damaging the heart muscle so it doesn’t pump blood effectively. Heart disease can develop because it affects the cholesterol levels — over a period of time the cholesterol builds up and clogs the arteries. Steroids affect the heart only if you have a heart disease to begin with, so it’s very wise to stay away from them if you have a heart problem.
Anabolic steroids are especially dangerous for teenagers, interfering with the normal effect of hormones on a growing body, and premature development of the epiphysis — the end of the bone — resulting in stunted growth.

Steroids can be taken orally, by injection, with gels, patches and nasal sprays. For the squeamish afraid of needles, it’s not possible to get a doctor to inject you since steroids are illegal, so some resort to the oral method which has the greatest number of side effects.
They have to pass through the digestive system and the liver in order to get into the bloodstream, so they’re designed to survive the process, and require large amounts to ensure that there’s enough left afterwards to have an effect.
The liver’s job is to remove such substances from the body which puts a great deal of strain on the liver and can result in significant liver damage and tumors which in turn can cause internal bleeding.
Some oral steroids can cause stomach distention — the lower abdomen becomes irritated and swollen, you can experience chronic constipation, water retention, and intestinal gas — the latter of which is not pretty if you want to keep your friends.

Taken in high doses, steroids can also develop jaundice, peliosis hepatitis, and cancer.
Injected steroids are put directly into the blood stream, making them far easier on your liver, but there is much concern over safe injection practices.
Depression is further aggravated if and when steroid use stops with rebound causing extreme depression, fatigue, apathy, and the likes.

Steroid Hazards for Men
Men can experience a short-term increase in the sex drive, followed by a suppression of natural testosterone output and potential shrinkage of the testes.
They can lower sperm count thus making men infertile, as well as develop gynecomastia — deposits of estrogen in the area of the nipple which can also grow breasts.
Steroid Hazards for Women
A very dangerous irreversible side-effect for women is masculinization due to the effects of testosterone and androsterone, including deepening of the voice, menstrual irregularities, development of facial and back hair, clitoral enlargement and even male-pattern baldness.

As one man reported to BodyBuilding of his former 3-year relationship with a woman who used steroids, “After my girlfriend made her decision to juice it up, with me as an up-close personal witness to all of her transformations during this time, it changed my mind about women on the juice forever. I saw her go from a hot hard body to a bloated, mental mess.” says Josh.
“My girlfriends’ skin became course and dry; a lot of her hair fell out while it grew on her face, her chest, and down her butt; her voice dropped three octaves; her nose grew; her jaw widened; she got spaces between her teeth; she got acne all over her chest, across her shoulders, and down her back, and she stopped having her period.”
Rampant hair growth is an irreversible side-effect, sprouting up on the chin, chest, around the nipples, and the buttocks — particularly the lower inner glutes and around the anus.

“The first thing you’ll notice if you take up with a juiced chick is her heightened level of aggression. When a woman’s aggression is initiated by testosterone, the result can sometimes get ugly.”
In another irreversible side effect of clitoral enlargement from androgen use, he saw his girlfriend’s grow to be 2 inches long and as big around as his small finger. When a woman in this condition becomes aroused, her clitoris becomes erect and sticks out just like a man’s penis, complete with a little head and all.
While the condition isn’t harmful, many women get vaginal discharge, but it will cease once the drugs are stopped.
Another bothersome yet temporary condition for the juiced up woman is the increase of body odor. Josh recalls lying in bed nestled in each other’s arms after some particularly torrid sex that made him wonder if he was sharing the bed with an entire soccer team after a world championship.
Honorable mention goes out to champion female bodybuilder, Lenda Murray, from the US, as the world’s most successful female bodybuilder to date — an 8-time winner of the Ms. Olympia title, the highest achievement in professional female bodybuilding.

The Wrap-up on Steroids
Unlike training for other sports, the goal in bodybuilding is to achieve a certain appearance. For competitive bodybuilders, strength itself is not as important as size, symmetry and definition.
Steroids do give the advantage over other athletes as it helps to train with a higher intensity and for longer periods, and can speed up recovery time for the stress on the muscles.
A popular way to take steroids is by cycling, starting the dosage at very small amounts and increasing the dosage weekly, then decreasing it over a 6 to12 week period. Bodybuilders then train without the drugs for 4 weeks and repeat the cycle all over again.
Perhaps the worst mistake most steroid users make is to become steroid abusers. It’s very common to overuse steroids which results in a wide range of health problems, some of which you will be living with for life.
It’s critical when considering taking steroids to do as much research as possible.

ROIDS! Who on earth wants to have a pinhead setting on top of a distorted body frame like these foolios? I’ve never seen one I’ve ever seen a roid user who could float my boat.

Imagine what they’ll look like when they become older, physically, that is, if they don’t end up in prison for their out of control anger that is caused by intentional steroid usage.

Wait, those pictures are NOT Photoshopped? Oh god that’s creepy.
The first 6 or 7 pictures are definitely photoshopped.
Personally, I couldn’t care less if people want to take steroids. It would be to their benefit to do so with close medical supervision, but hey, people do all sorts of things that aren’t good for them with little to no logic behind it.
Crazy yeah, not sure why you would want to even look like that. ahhhh
There is a place for the responsible use of steroids. It is no different than responsible use of alcohol. Sadly, competitive bodybuilding and other professional sports has come to this. Who is to blame? The audience and crowd who wants bigger, stronger and faster athletes? Or the athletes who what to make or keep their spot on the team, move up, or simply improve their physique?
What does a hopeful athlete do when s/he is faced with the choice of making the team but it requires the use of ‘roids?
Crowds gather at the freak shows. It is like a morbid obsession with deformity. Hypocritically, people criticise when they find out their favourite athlete is “on the juice” yet “the fans” expect more home runs, heavier weight lifts, more touchdowns, faster running times.
Hypocritical and confusing.
Like it or leave it. Every sport requires some sacrifice. To what extent is the sacrifice too much?
Steroids can have some good medicinal uses: healing and recovery, hormone replacement therapy for improved quality of life, AIDS, atrophy. Not all are bad. It becomes a problem when, like anything else, it is abused.
I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.
I see a couple that are manipulated (possibly Photoshop), but I know the first guy isn’t. Plus, my sister-in-law and her husband do this crap. Not impossible. The muscles build up these people experience (in many cases)is quite real & extreme, and disgusting IMHO. And talk about mood swings from roids, OMG!
I agree with you Lyss, i had to choke back some vomit.
some of them are sex, some aggh, i would like to work a lady like that one day
These photographs are just insane. I am almost speechless at what these people have become.
I was thinking about offering this guys my company shirts…. but I need to get them some with zippers ha ha ha
Those pictures are definitely not photoshopped, but that doesnt mean that the muscle is “real” muscle.
google “synthol” to see what i mean. you inject it into your muscle, it makes it huge and puffy for some ammount of hours, not really steroids, but rediculous none the less
A few of these pictures are photoshopped (all the ones from myophile). The rest look real. Bodybuilding is a complete different world with completely different standards of what’s normal. It’s a sport that doesn’t care what the status quo thinks.
This post has lots of truths but a lot of glaring errors as well, which leads me to believe that the author doesn’t really know much about the subject. It’s just a shill for some movie intended to scare teens into not using steroids. Don’t get me wrong, teens DEFINITELY should not use them but using scare tactics like this is just lame.
(By the way, most male teen steroid users are encouraged by their fathers to use the drug–very few actually make the decision themselves or even have the extra money to pay for a cycle).
I ma afraid to see their large body.I think its extra large.
How do these guys fit into their toilets

hi i’m a worthless roid-raging piece of shit who thinks he’s better than everybody else, even with raisins for nuts and lumpy arms. oh yeah, and i use the term “bods” even though people stopped talking like that in the 80′s, because i’m cool and shooting up steroids to make up for my lack of real manhood.
Guess how much time do they have to devote every day to avoid their muscles from drooping?

Are they human at all? Because they sure don’t look like humans.
Most of those first ones are photoshoped. If you believe that your crazy. The pic of actual bodybuilders are real. I have done an in depth study on them and am writing a book and can tell you that it has more benefits if taken properly. HRT programs can make a 50-60 year old feel like they are in their 20′s again. As for the weiner getting smaller go google it, it actually enlarges the penis and the balls shrink while on a cycle. They come back after but too many people don’t know the facts about steroids and read an article like this and think they are horrible for you. While I don’t believe anyone should take them illegally many Hrt programs are really the fountain of youth. While there are many truths in this article please do research yourself before jumping to a conclusion, I have and learned a lot about them, as you will hopefully find out when my book comes out.
Thanks for this. You gave me a great idea for today’s post:

Of course with attribution and link back to you.
A lot of these are ‘shopped. The pictures of Ronnie Coleman are not–he really is that big. He’s a monster and arguably about the biggest around. Use his picture as a reference. If someone looks much bigger than him, it’s probably fake.
As a result of their juicing, they all, and I do mean all, have little penises…
The top pictures show users who inject synthol (not anebolic steroids)
Its like calf/breast implants
Very good. This people don´t know that your life will be very short
I dont see this as attractive, quite the opposite. And I am not sure what these people want – strength or looks. But whatever motivates them, it is so strong that they made quite a monster out of their bodies. I believe balance is something we need in everything we do, and this guys crossed the line long time ago.
Very well written article! Kudos
Those girls remind me of Vera de Milo played by Jim carrey in Buff beautiful and Bitchin http://youtube.com/watch?v=3luOSs-2M2k
Icredible!!! Very well article…
Nothing even remotely attractive about these freaks and their god-awfully ugly overly muscular physiques. What it reveals is a mental disorder, because anyone who would do this to themselves willingly are obviously not seeing the same thing in the mirror that the rest of us see.
Very sad, and even sadder when these people get too old to workout and maintain such a monstrosity of a physique.
The ultimate freedom to do whatever you want to YOUR body. Sorry, New York Mayor Bloomberg. I know you like the nanny state to take away personal freedom.
Some of those look fake… but the professional competition ones are definitely real
Here’s a helpful tip: when you’re a man and you have bigger tits than Dolly Parton, you may have gone too far with this stuff.
The first half of the pictures are photoshopped. People believe the most stupid shit.
I have to wonder if the massive muscles aren’t impairing. Is it physically possible for the bulky armed guys to wipe their own asses or reach their own dicks between those freakish thighs? O_o
My mother has pictures of female body builders all over her at home gym as “inspiration”. It’s repulsive and unnatural. Give me a soft woman with boobs (not pecs) over those creatures any day.
From my experience I think that people who aspire to be body builders have a mental problem long before steroids become a factor. There’s a difference between being healthy and sexy and being a monster.

I wonder what their life expectancy is.
Omg oMG OMG MOG OGM! OH MY GODDDDDDDD. -I can’t stop looking though.
I’m thinking the first 4-5 pics are photoshopped.
I’ve been in that world and that just ain’t possible folks.

My personal experience was with a young woman that had been a competitive bodybuilder while she served in the military. She gave up the juice and was back to near “normal” when we dated – in a dress and high heals, she looked quite similar to what you would expect of a marathoner. Out of clothes, she looked a little harder than most folks would think was right for a chick – she had a total absence of body fat, I mean down to a couple percent or so. Making love was not pleasant and even using mass amounts of lubricant did not make penetration any less painful. Try “working a lady” like her and you’ll get the idea of what it is like to masturbate using a pair of pliers instead of your hand. Lovely and kind that she was, she often stood in front of the mirror looking at the obviously masculine musculature of her once-feminine body. I couldn’t read her mind, but I felt she traded her femininity for a lifetime of looking in that mirror, wondering what she lost. Final note, she died of kidney failure at 31.
I don’t like bodybuilding generally, but this is just gross, gross gross. YUK.
They have totally destroyed their bodies. Sad.
*shivers*
Where is the satisfaction of having a body like this???? can they move easily? I guess it is more beautiful with some limit. they are our of limit.

@ Get Over It
While I have not been adding to the comments here, abusive comments to other guests here and myself will not be tolerated. This is one of the rare times that I have deleted a comment from someone other than a spammer.
If you were to check your facts, you will find that many of the prominent and reputable bodybuilding sites ALL concur on the facts published here on effects of steroid abuse.
If you really MUST know, I am not a fat slob, nor am I lazy. I am a very fit woman at 123 pounds and 5′ 7″ in height.
Never once did I call any of these bodybuilders disgusting. Perhaps you should re-read what’s been published here, as well as do your own research before slinging mud.
IF you wish to contribute further by being constructive, your comments will be accepted.
The first picture is of Markus Ruhl. At least, search him on google. Sure, he’s a big disgusting bastard, but not as much as this picture. The first 6 picture is PHOTOSHOPED!!! So “big respect” for the writer…and those, who have not even heard about a man, who have seen a bodybuilder and take judging comments here.
[...] When Bodybuilding and Steroids Go Too Far… [PICS] [...]
THANK YOU so much, Baker, for coming up with the athlete’s name, and finally laying to rest that the first 2 are definitely ‘shopped.’ The first 6 were emailed, but I wasn’t so sure about the first 2. It would be interesting to find out who the other few athletes are.
G-ross.
clams without shells.
…and the black man is thinking in the back: “what is the white man doing there…?
pppooohhaaaa
Why would you possibly want to make yourself look like that? Maybe they think women are attracted to creased skin and varicose veins, who knows! But it looks bloody horrible.
Well, I agree that at least a couple of the first section look photoshopped. But does that really matter when twice that many of these are real? When your veins look like they are about to burst from your skin like some of the pictures, something is seriously wrong. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be stronger or more muscular, but there are natural ways of doing it.
The bad outways the good when talking about and dealing with steroids. At least in my opinion.
Sick… just sick
Yes everyone concurs the effects of steroids, but that is not the argument is it?
The argument is that this page does nothing but “mud sling” a way of life (bodybuilding). IF YOU CHECKED YOUR FACTS, you would know that not every single person imaged here is on steroids. (Yes most are, but please don’t get off topic again when you respond) I’m saying that your article is full of fallacies and borders on libel on those you image.
Steroids are bad, I agree with you. But your article is false and misleading.
I doubt you have permission to use the majority of these images; therefore I have taken the liberty of notifying the owners of the images and question. Also I sent your article to the related groups who would be interested in your demeaning their organization by printing fallacies.
Happy deleting.
@Whoops
Yes, the argument here IS that overuse of steroids are bad for you. It’s what this article is about!
Not once has anything been said here within the article that the athletes pictured are on steroids, nor that they are steroid abusers.
My comments were not off-topic either, they are in response to this and the previous comment you went by under the name of ‘Get Over It,’ for which you vented by calling people names etc, and stating that the facts written were entirely false.
The organizations and groups represented here are reputable and highly respected, nothing has been said against one of them.
You appear to be on some kind of vendetta for whatever reason and taking this very personally.
i think its passion for something which drives someone to do these things
Ask them what they eat. Talk about gross.
Talk about deception at least get some pictures that are non photoshoped. That shows that you really did not take the time on this article and just flamed steroids the whole time. Terrible job.
Some of them look like walking,3-D cabbages
Myophile pictures have been proven to be fakes. The human body can not enlarge that much. And the majority of the bodybuilders you choose to use for examples, do not use steriods. A lot of the guys compete professionally and get tested offen. People like Ronnie Coleman worked hard to be where they are and that size. That’s his life and to each there own. Before writing articles, do alittle research and find out what different kids of steriods, there are dozens, some passable and other illegal, before you do post pictures of people who may have never touched the stuff. I’d like to see some naysayers try to maintain the size and have the heart this guys have. If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t sau anything at all unless its good critcizism.
This was not so nice, but my dream is to thouch one body like that.
Æsj, nåkka så stykt..:O

what about that dude who played rambo?
i think arnold schwartzaniggar has…lol
seriously? thats gross. and how does those people find clothes that fit over their big ass arms? freakin A. thats dumb. they cant even see the backs of their own arms, i think thats a lil over done, dont u?
the girls in there are just plane old ugly.
All of those people in the pics above used steroids and continue to use ‘em, there is nothing wrong with using steroids, its their way of making money and i bet all of yous not even half as rich and wealthy as they are.
-if you think its unhealthy -> then don’t do it, no one is forcing you to go through it,
alot of them figured a way to stay healthy while on juice, but then again define HEALTHY,
there are people all over the world who smokes, drinks and do other form of drugs just for the joy of it they are consider unhealthy as well. Lots of normal people who try to avoid doing drugs/smoke/drinking lift weight, simply thinking that they are staying safe could die a sudden death. Some people die from a heart attack and they didn’t even lift a weight in their lives.
-if you think its cheating -> cheating relative to whom, to have that kind of muscles you need steroids imagine for example if Olympic runners never used steroids they will simply lets say run slow, now lets say they all used steroids then they will all run faster. Its like taking everyone into a new level and still the winner will be the one who put the most effort while on juice.
-if you think it ll result in an early death-> well its better to live a short live but an interesting one rather than living a long life but a boring one!
most people think that they could gain something from life that could help them in after death, the fact is life is not like a school/uni or work(as in a job) each one depend on the pervious one, for example Uni depend on school, work depends on UNI, i.e you work hard in one to help you in the other one, however when it comes to sports(specially bodybuilding) and steroids you do it becouse you interested in doing it and you only care about today becouse that when and where its counts!
It really is up to the individual to determine if the risk is worth the rewards. I don’t believe in steroids but a larger percent of the population uses than we would like to admit.
quite a few of the pictures in the first 3rd of this page are fakes, and the others in that 3rd feature synthol (oil) users who inject oil into their muscles to make them appear bigger
yet another article failing due to faked pictures sigh
That is the most outrageous body building that I have ever seen and I can’t imagine how these guys can eat and do other things in life. Never knew that steroids can do such a harmful effect to the body and to the mind.

In my opinion the main problem are not single persons who are taking steroids or the side-effekts to the body but the fakt that doping more and more becomes a social effekt of professionel sport.
The problem is, that as long as there are some people who are taking steroids and some who don´t, there can not be a fair competition. The ones who are pumped up with steroids are able to achieve better results, which the “fair” onse will never be able to. But this leads us to the problem, that people who are working fair won´t have the chance to get any succes and so they loose their chance to earn money.
Basicly this is a chain of comand:
Someone is taking steroids and so increases the measure which is to achieve. As a result of that, ohters are doing the same in order not to loose contact to the other professionels and in the end doping becomes a social strukture effekt of the professionel sport.
Without charging somebody, I guess that we can see equal effekts at the biking sport.
So far from me, now one question.
I am realy interested into that movie, does somebody now, where I can find it. (I live in Germany, because of that here could be some mistakes^^)
How do you have a list like this and in include a photograph of Arnold Schwarzenegger?
Body dysmorphic disorder…plain and simple.
Having said that, to each his own. Like another commenter said, if the benefits outweigh the risks, then who are we to gawk and say GROSS. We watch waif supermodels who are literally starving to death and call them attractive and feminine. We see this and call it gross and deadly….WHATEVS!!!
More people die of alcoholic liver cirrhosis than complications from steroid abuse. Anyway, my point is that as long as they are not hurting others, all’s fair in the battle of the ‘bigger, faster, and stronger’. That’s just where our culture has led us. Anorexia and steroid use all for the benefit of becoming wealthy by using your body.
The main problem I have here is that many of the pictured athletes may not be steroid abusers. so instead of discussing the dangers of steroids, maybe you should discuss the vomitous appearance of bodybuilders. Just sayin, this wasn’t pulitzer material at all!

As an industry insider I can tell you that all the pics from MYOPHILE are INDEED photoshopped. These have been floating around on the web for some time now and honestly are “old news” to the bodybuilding community.
Consider….Apparently it is wrong for a man/teenager to use artificial testosterone (steroids) to improve their physique and performance. YET it is perfectly ok for a women/teenager to use artificial estrogen AKA birth control (ALSO A STEROID…don’t believe me look at a medical journal and see what constitutes a steroid), to engage in high risk behavior of promiscuous and unprotected sex.
Which behavior is more dangerous?
Take time to look at all the POSSIBLE side effects of birth control….it is a long list
Acredito que muito dinheiro foi gasto e tambem muita dedicação, para que eles se tornasse tal atletas, mais a biblía diz; O QUE APROVEITO TEM O HOMEM GANHAR O MUNDO TODO E PERDER A SUA PROPRIA ALMA! só espero que eles tambem dediquem a suas vidas para JESUS CRISTO, PARA QUE POSSAM TER DIREITO A ENTRAR NO CÉU DE LUZ!!!!
Ate esse momento parabéns

The first 6 Pictures are not real, they have been doctored and i don’t mean the people in the pictures. If you believe this BS it shows how stupid people are, have you ever seen any body this big?
NO and you never will.
Take away the photoshopped pics and these are still the extreme cases. I personally find it extremely unattractive, and have done weight training myself. Despite frustrations, I could never alter my body chemistry just to break thru a plateau. It’s just not worth it, IMHO, to take the risks.
Man, those look awful. I think if we are obsessed with our bodybuilding, it’ll make us look ugly and the efforts will not really worth it.
I dont have a any words to say about this site, i don’t know whether to believe or not to believe all the pics.
This whole page is a discrace. Everyone of the top photos have been changed significantly. I know this because I follow professional bodybuilding and have seen in person many of the guys they have altered. This is a shame because the positive effects or steroids when taken correctly are amazing but the uses are frowned upon by everyone because of the conatation they have in the publics eyes. All thanks to retards the the guys he made this page.

Interesting read but it would have had the same message without the fake pictures – they were definitely altered. Steroids use, like all medication, needs to be supervised by doctors trained in endocrinology. Proper training, diet and correct supplementation are the three more important areas to concentrate on for most people looking to improve their physique. Steroids get too much credit in the press and I think this encourages young teens to begin “experimenting” rather than taking a closer look at their training and diet plan.

Well I’m myself into the sport of bodybuilding and can’t explain in words the satisfaction one gets by looking at the transformation, achieved thru handwork and dedication.
For me bodybuilding is a sport to live a healthy disease free life and at the same time be a distinguishable face in the crowd (thats a big bonus). Its obvious that pro bodybuilders do have a reason for taking steriods. The reason is “Their Brains are programmed to be No.1 on stage no matter what it takes”.
But when I see or hear about individuals who take steroids and have no intention to compete on stage I don’t understand why are they messing up with their bodies.
There is no one to be blamed for what young bodybuilders are doing but themselves. But Pro Bodybuilders also can’t hide from responsibilities they have towards their fans. What responsibility? “People Love to Look like whom they Idolize” and that is almost impossible in the natural way in the Bodybuilding World.
Just that,

What in the world happens to all the muscle and skin after a person has stretch his body for years. Will it all go back to shape or will it hang if he or she lives to be 60 or 70 and stops taking steroids. I knew a man who started taking them to build up his body so he could impress others. He was married to a beautiful woman who was a lawyer. They ended up divorced as it changed his whole personality. I don’t understand why they don’t realize they don’t look good, they look really odd, especially the women builders.
Hey,They look perfect..
I dont like bodybuilding..Thx

The first few photos are not real but must people believe they are giving a false impression.
its cool
If all these guys were green, not even HULK could compete with them.
Charles Atlas, Eugene Sandow, Steeve Reeves, John Grimek, Vince Gironda, and many others. They were the true masters of the body beautiful. The steroid monsters of today are nothing more than sideshow freaks. I almost feel sorry for them.
RONNIE COLMANS THE MAN……
BEST BODY BUILDER EVER!!
I heartly agree with Bill Gibbons.
Modern age bodybuilding and the judging criteria have gone too far. Size is rated over Symmetry and proportion leading to what we see.
I can tell you from experience that taking steroids makes you feel like you are definately the main man.. Only trouble is, this isn’t how your usual personality is, you know, the one your family and friends see virtually every day. Yes, they can give you amazing strength when on a cycle and when you finnish you have to take some form of medication (Nolvadex, clomid) to combat the estrogen build up that can form man tits (Gynocomastia) and maybe some N-Acetyl Cisteine to help the liver detoxify (usually only needed if taking oral steroid, ie Dbol/dianabol)
I read a lot about roid rage and if you’re already an angry person then be aware that steroid use is capable of pushing you over the edge. I have a bit of a temper and after using steroids very briefly i noticed myself jumping out of my car a lot (When roid rage meets road rage and goes bad) It’s not a nice thing to have to cope with and a lot of steroid users will have the answer to to this roid rage; They would probably tell you if you aint man enough to control your anger then you shouldn’t take steroids..This is complete bullsh*t, in my case anyway..
Bottom line, steroids have pro’s and cons like most things in life. The cons, in my opinion, far outweigh the pros.
Some advice to first timers wanting to get big muscles.. Read everything about steroid use and it’s side effects. Look into the medication needed to combat side effects and supplememnts to aid liver function. All these things can be purchased on the internet black market quite easily and supplements are in abundance on ebay. Maybe get some tablets to relieve water retention because the water in the blood is what can give you the high blood pressure and make your head look like a jacket potato just out of the oven. Your head will probably go mooned or perfectly rounded like a football during use but that again is down to water retention and your head does get back to it’s normal shape after the cycle. Be aware of a massive increase in spots and boils on your back, neck, face, head.. The myth about going baldy is usually bullsh*t except for men who’s fathers are baldy then it’s probably hereditary and you are more than likely to go bald at some point during your steroid conquest..
I would never take steroids again, i didn’t even finnish the full cycle because my anger was becoming uncontrolable and my gf was becoming scared of me and my outbursts. I would never hurt her physically but she knew there was something eating me up.. I explained and we got through it.. Some people aren’t as lucky.
Oh yea, your testicles will shrink for a while after a cycle but during a cycle you will fel like a Tiger and your manhood will usually get harder than a policeman’s truncheon and fire bullets instead of the normal everyday d1ckspit. Teste shrinkage is due to your testosterone being none existent. Clomid and Nolvadex are what you need to reintroduce testosterone production over a few weeks after a cycle. Some “Sted heads” will start a cycle of clomid near the end of their 6-8 week steroid cycle then throw in the Nolvadex/novadex after cycling their steds.. This medication also blocks the estrogen receptors that can cause manboobs (Gyno).
Of you’re a single male with loadsa time on your hands, a gym membership, enough money for the supplements, including proooooootein and maybe energisers and creatine and whatever else then go for it but like anything else, don’t abuse it.. Ronnie Coleman (picture above) is a prime example of prolonged usage.. He’s dead, but then it was his choice to use steroids.
Goodnight people.
Thanks for one of the best comments on this article, Larking
The pictures of the body builders are unbelievable. I have heard of people using steroids but not to the extreme of the guys in the picture. It doesn’t seem possible for a human to even get that size. I know that steroid use can cause aggression and I would hate to get one of those guys in the pictures mad at me.
The juice is scary stuff man…
Those people look gross I don’t know why anyone would even want to look like that. I wonder how long some of these people live.

You folks don’t know what you are looking at. Everyone of these picture is when these people are getting ready, or during, a contest. They don’t look like this during their normal lives. If you don’t do any resistance training you have no idea what a “pump” is. Every one of these photos shows the person in a pumped up state. Most of the pictures the people are obviously in a contest because they are wearing posing trunks. They work very hard to have their body fat at a very low level at contest time and their muscles completely full. This doesn’t come about from steroid use it comes about from lifting heavy weights over and over again. Yes I’m sure that these folks take steroids but that’s not what made them look like that. It was hard training. If you take steroids and do nothing but watch TV you don’t get big muscles. For a man he gets breasts and fat in his hips. A woman get a deep voice and enlarged clitoris. But neither get bigger muscles. You folks just don’t understand!!
Back in the late 70′s, I was a bodybuilder. I won several small titles for city and county – no big timer. Some of the guys started shooting past me in muscle mass. They were juicing. I looked into it and admit I was very tempted. The cost was what kept me from buying them. You have to have been into bodybuilding to understand the allure of steroids. When your muscles are large and taunt, it feels great doing just about everything. I was a surfer at the time. People would actually stop and stare at me when I got out of the water. Girls hit on me all the time. It’s a very attractive lifestyle for those reasons. But, it is a young man’s game. Lou Ferrigno is the only guy who still looks great from those days. I’m in my 50′s now and still surf, but I use weights only to keep things from hurting. Still, I think about how huge I could have gotten.
larking … Ronnie Coleman IS STILL A LIVE .. ARE YOU DEAD.
even Frankenstein looked better then them. Steroids creates monsters.So kids,stay away from them
Steroids definitely have gone way to far and the fact that the sport hasn’t cracked down on them is absurd. i think people should cleanse themselves instead of ruin their bodies with steroids.
Steroids are given a bad name by people who use them incorrectly and also by people way too young. Get educated and informed if anyone is planning on using them. BTW, some of those pictures at the top are photoshopped.
Admin
http://www.discoverbodybuilding.com
man and woman are the same thing, just change the hear! i dont like. at all!
Actually, those first pictures at the top of this page are real, bizarre as they are.
The first clue to look for is the downturned head, which is an artifact of the extremely oversized and distorted muscles around the neck.
Other clues are the rounded, almost balloon like aspect of the major muscle groups, which is a specific trademark of various steroid / growth hormone cocktails taken to such extremes.
Muscle groups simply don’t exhibit this strange sort of balloon affect, even under intensive training. If you look at some the body builders of an earlier time, even the most well known of the time (including Arnold) you will see muscles that are large, well formed and “chiseled” as we used to call it, but nothing like what you see here.
These are artificially exaggerated muscles in the true sense of the word.
Why anyone would actually find this sort of bizarre appearance interesting or attractive is beyond me.
What we have here are not beautifully sculpted examples of the human physique, which is what body building once was intended to be, but rather hideous distortions that the human body was never intended for.
Many years ago, I did a little bit of recreational body building with my then girlfriend just for fun, I was never even remotely interested in this sort fanatical extremism, but I did encounter a few folks along the way who were truly fanatical, and absolutely would put anything and everything into their system to get various portions of their body grow to absurdly strange proportions.
The “science” of developing various chemistries for exaggerating various aspects of the human physiology to such extremes has come a long since my days in the gym 20+ years ago, much of this sort of research originally coming out of the former Soviet Union.
How gross!

Its funny seeing all the people ragging on them, when you u dont even now them, and they are busting there guts training and dieting. And some of you are probably 300lbs of lard.
Even though they use alot of Steroids, 70% of them are probably more healthy then the average person. With the amount of crap food the world eats.
And anyone that says they could take steriods and look like them are just plain fools.

Ok, where to start? First off, please do the research before going off about how steroid users. For instance, the apparent cycles in that are claimed to be commonplace is just plain wrong. 8-12 weeks. Then a good while off. Or take the aggression for example! Although I’ve experienced slight aggression, it was *FAR* from something that is out of control! I don’t know a single person that has experience the famed “roid rage”. It’s never even been documented in any clinical studies!! And I want this put out there as well.
In not one single study, in any country in the world, by any team or individual, has steroids ever…*EVER*…been linked to causing cancer.
Jesus Christ people, get a grip and do some research. I’m 205 pounds, and 5’11. I’m far from any of the above pictured users, but at a fairly common size for most of the guys that use them. I know quite a few cops, and military personel that use them every year…and frankly, who cares? Some studies have cited numbers as high as 30% of all males having used roids at some point or another and the lot of you can’t even bloody notice. Seriously…who…cares?

alot of the pictures at the begginnig are heavily doctored and its important that you people understand that. THe reasons for using steroids, and the ammount varries to the individual, and simply put just working out alot and even adding a strict for certain individuals wont do much other keeping them in average shape. Genetics didnt gift us all with high levels of testosterone. using miniscule doses and doing a correct PCT isn’t careless drug abuse. get both sides of the story.
You people are STUPID. U ARE KILLING YOURSELF.

personally, i dont believe any of those photos are doctored. tale a look at that guy scott? valentine? his arms were so massive he couldnt hang them straight down. the steroids of today are far more powerful and potent then years ago. and for those who say that bodybuilders are healthy..you are wrong. first of all, there diet is so limited it is itself unhealthy…excessive protein and cholesteral, no fat..the body needs some fat … no vegetables or fruit and often they limit or dehydrate thems by limiting water/fluids so they will avoid water retention. aerobically, they are unhealthy which means they probably couldnt run a mile..unlike the obvious like runners, soccer players …bodybuilders if anything, are unhealthy because their bodies are carrying all that extra bulk not too mention the steroids and the health risks associated with them. body builders have leathery, greasy skin with an overall unhealthy appearance.
this is just my opinion so please dont get defensive… its your life, your body , your image.
hello everyone
ok see what u guys are saying is using steroids is the worst thing in the world… just because of the images… but what u dont know is the buff guy that is a the grocery store with u could b on steroids… just because ppl decide to use steroids and they want to b a bodybuilder all the props to the them, cuz its there body.. a good majority of bodybuilders know what the side effects are.. thats why alot of them are in the doctors office monthly getting checked.. steroids abuse is bad but so is using crack cocaine and marijuana and alcohol so on so forth…
ppl just look at them and think there nasty.. but than agaiin werent we all taught not to judge a book by it cover? seriously your guys, you dont know them. dont judge them as you wouldnt want to be judged.

can anyone tell me more about the steriods????
almost all these photos r doctered, i ve met most of all these people
I think like the author says the biggest problem isnt that people use steroids, its that they tend to abuse them. Excess makes wastes, and that can be said about anything. If you eat too much you get fat, if you stay in the heat too long you dehydrate, if you study too much you quit retaining knowledge (ok maybe those are weak examples, but the point is the same.
Excess makes waste
And if you’re thinking about it in terms of legality, remember this: alcohol is perfectly legal and it kills half a million people a year, steroids kill maybe five. Same with smoking, or even diabetes ( which is becoming the fastest growing avoidable disease ), which can- and too often caused by years of unhealthy eating.
The point is, do they take it too far? Yes, sometimes
Is it our place to judge and ostrasize them? Not in my opinion
That’s way too disgusting to the core~~~~
u guys all have good posts but i disagree with alot of it…first it makes ur balls small not ur penis…second the intensity of bodybuilding is more extreme and more dedicated than any sport out there; simply the fact of dedication, determination, and the level of concentration and how it is life changing…third these r not photo shop pics try reading a body building magazine u might actually learn something b4 u make a generalization. And the last point i have to make is its their lives let them do what they want and the most important thing is would u say any of the negative posts to their faces???? i think not
I love Body Building! I wanna be one myself but of course I’m only 15 years old lol. I look forward to lifting weights everyday of my life! I started lifting when I was seven! I can squat almost 300 lbs when I was 12. I love it! Knowing I am better at something than others… It feels awesome. Some people hate lifting but its a great hobbie! If I’m really stressed I lift, and lift and lift lol. Of course me being in H.S. I’m under alot of pressure and stress. If anyone has any tips on body building or helping me get started on a career when I get older please email me at reese43_876@live.com, Thanks… I’m not gonna take steriods though… so… yeah… I wanna do it all by myself I don’t need helep getting to the body I want. Steriods is like a kick stand on a bike… (Help it stand up) I don’t need help!
yho! thats very impresive to see that people are in control of their bodies not coming obesities so guyz and girls keep it up you have good and superb bodies thank you.
If you cant spot the first few pictures as obvious fakes youre a dimwit.
Why would you rip on someone for being massive? Jealousy is a curse.
Personally I think roids and extreme body size are unhealthy. But let people do what they want. If you wanna take roids till you die I wont judge you, that’s your call.

hey all readers instead one can use steroid cycles 5 or 6 and make money by selling supplements, opening gym ,becoming trainer, selling some steroid, after 5 or 6 cycles one should stop using steroids after these number of cycles steroids would start taking its toll on your body.5 or 6 cycles whould be enough for getting attractive physique and dating lots of girls of your dream
afffffffffffff……..
Para que tudo isso??

Those photos are totally incredible. I’ve been doing steroids for 4 years now, but would never dreamed I could look as magnificent as these people.

The first 7 are Photoshopped. The author of this article is trying to prove his point with fake pictures. How pathetic.
what the hell in this earth they wanted to be like that,its really a other side of bodybuilding,that is the bad side,where there are lot of side effects,bodybuilding is to keep fit and look good not to be like a monster in this earth,and i advice all my friends who are into bodybuilding to never try on steriods and know their side effects,be natural and stay healthy.

If you are going to present research on the abuuses of steroid (and there are many) use accurate and truthful information! Very disappointing.
Personally I think these guys kick ass!They knew what they wanted and they went out and got it..They had a goal that they wished to achieve and they did what ever it took to get there.Do we rag on people going to medical school to become a doctor?(of course not)So why do we rag on those who use performance enhancers to achieve there ultimate goal or dream?To those of you that bash all these guys you do so because you have no idea what you’re talking about..When used correctly steroids are not life threatening and they can be very helpful to the human body..And as far as the roid rage theory goes..Only those with a weak mind will let a drug overcome their personallity..And yes I have used these drugs before and I am in perfect health and shape and I am not an angry animal..

Yup, the first 6 pics are photoshopped to make them look way bigger than they will ever be, and gives people a bad impression about steriods. Pics 7 and down you can tell, are real bodybuilders that actually compete and win competitions. Their muscles actually take years of targeted training and hard work to achieve. Yes, many of them do take steroids at that level and do it in a controlled way, and in my opinion as long as they keep their health in check they are still in much better condition than your average man in the western world, not to mention that they look phenomenal!

Jeez…….
It is always amazing to me how people fall for such nonsense! The first few pictures in this article are so obviously photoshopped that Stevie Wonder could see they were doctored! And a lot of these people talking about how unattractive the bodybuilders look, not sexy, etc etc…have they bothered to look at the amount of fat a$$e$ walking around the streets in our country today? Obesity is running rampant, yet they will see someone with muscles and start screaming “STEROIDS”, and not even know if they are being taken, and if so, what business is it of anyone else?
And the author, instead of using scare tactics and horribly enhanced photos to illustrate a flawed opinion should have taken the time to do the research, just like most of these posters should have done……research, and READ A BOOK! And also, a lot of you need to learn to spell and diagram a sentence while you are at it!

I live in Pakistan and i have heard about a couple of people who used drugs for bodybuilding , they died in their 30ies.Usig drugs for bodybuilding is just like playing with your body and health.I think there is a need of medicine which are harmless and intended for those people who dont want to be a professional bodybuilders but they just want to improve their physics a little inorder to become more attractive in a short period of time. They should be one time drugs which one uses only once in his life ( for 6 to 12 months) and they dont use them again. Women should keep them away from them because they wont remain any attractive to men in that shape. Lastly i will say its not sport if you use drug and become champ in short period of time ,the real taste is in going through the hard labour with passion and using what you have been blessed by the God , your original physics and muscles.
That is just too much! Do those guys even have a life outside of weights? I bet their severly impaired for acrobatics. Obviously their motion is limited because their muscles get in the way.
Are they any better in sports like soccer? They certainly can’t be wide recievers for football eh? But I’d bet they’d make a mean defensive back, they could only be lineman because their arms wouldn’t allow them to carry, catch or throw a ball properly. They certainly couldn’t be good olympic swimmers.

Problem is, once you reach a size, that size is always too small, so your in a constant state of trying to improve on both size and shape and a combination of more steroids, more training and more rest just about cuts it!

Keep training ppl!!!

Kind of hard to take your so-called article seriously when you use a bunch of photoshop pics to prove your point. Do some real research instead of presenting some halfass freak show.
I have seen crap but this takes the cake. I am a drug free bodybuilder. Will never do juice. Yes alot of BB have some OCD or there mom didnt hug them enough. There are alot of phtoshopped pics. BB doesnt have to be a freak show. Check out a guy called Frank Zane…who still looks great in his late 60′s.We tend to attract alot of attention cos we wear our sport 24/7. Just like an athlete wants to run faster we wanna be bigger and leaner. Have you ever sat back and thought how stupid most sports are. A bunch of guys running around on a feild chasing a ball…thats just as nuts. Most people are so ignorant they dont realize that almost all top athletes use drugs. Track and feild athletes and cyclists are full of it. How many of you idiots who dissed these guys are fat. How many of you smoke? How many of you get pissed every weekend?
Steroid abuse is rising among teens and young adult athletes. They can seriously mess themselves up using it at such a young age.
If a person uses oncycle support supplements and a proper PCT with a strong SERM, one can lessen the negative effects of the anabolics.
Couldn’t care less if the pictures are real or not.
Every person in the world makes their own choices about what to do with their life and their body. People smoke, drink, get high, take anti-depressants and sleeping pills, eat too much, starve themselves skinny, get tattoos, get piercings, get plastic surgery, get implants….you name it, people do it. Because it’s their life. And their body.
To those who bodybuild, bigger equals better, and some want to see exactly how far they can go. Let them. You don’t like it, don’t look. Who ever said everything everybody does is about how they look? The average bodybuilder I’ve known is so devoted to his training and schedule, he wouldn’t notice whether women liked how he looked. Why does anybody wear what they wear, or think a certain weight suits them? Nothing I do is about whether other people will like it. You have to be pretty ugly and lacking in personality to get zero attention from the opposite sex, or from the same sex if you swing that way. So there’s no need to worry about everything from an attractiveness point of view.
I think there’s too many opinions in the world. Most of them from people who know little to nothing about the subjects. Why can’t people just leave other people alone and let them do what makes them happy? If we all could do everything in life exactly the way one person thinks we should, we’d have 5,999,999,999 other people still disapproving.
I concur that any type of gear should not be used and the affect can at times be overwhelming which is why we should never use drugs to achieve our desired results. I can assist you with achieving your desired result if you bring the motivation and discipline. My name is Tank and I have trained with weight and studied martial arts over 2 /3 of my life. I now understand the science of building muscle, losing weight, cardio and strength and power building.

freaky or what??!!!
Being 52 years old, and having knocked around gyms for 30 years, you get a chance to see everything, at least once. I never could build mass all through my late 20′s and 30′s and like a lot of people, saw how steroids took average lifters like myself to incredible new levels of size and strength. But I always knew in my heart that the real reason I didn’t mass was because my life style was more important than really training at a level necessary to do it clean. I decided to not go the steroid route because of this. It would have fooled everybody but myself.
Finally by the time I reached my early 40′s I had developed the discipline to train properly and made the commitment to do so. Today at 52 I am bigger, leaner and stronger than at any point in my life. For me, I derive more satisfaction from knowing I did it without going the steroid route than if I had and got bigger sooner.
Aspiring pro’s already have the training mentality down and their decision to roid or not is based on different factors than the casual body builder. For them the long term risk reward is different.
There is no substitute for poor, inadequate training habits. Like wise there is no greater satisfaction than knowing you did it “right”, on your own terms through effort, hard work and using what God gave YOU to work with.
I’ve been following the sport of bodybuilding since i was 8 years old and training since i was 15. Now at 32 years of age i have gained a large amount of experience within this sport, First of all those photos are definately altered and anybody with half a brain would realize that it is impossible to become so large no matter how much steriods you put into your body! being competive with this sport myself, i can tell you this.. I challenge anyone who’s posted any negative comment on here to even try and put yourself through the grueling training and strict dieting that is required to be a bodybuilder, powerlifter or even an ever popular mma fighter and let me tell you by the amount of ignorance i have just read, well i already know the answer to my own questions towards most who post these ignorant comments. realize this beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder, but one more thing to all the women out there and dont even try and deny that you wouldn’t love or even fantasise about having or even being with a man with big strong arms, a nice round muscular set of pecs and ripped abs!!!!? It takes alot of sweat and mental strengh and dedication to achieve a muscular fit body whether or not your a bodybuilder or a proffesional athlete. Oh and don’t kid yourselves..bodybuilders arent the only steriod users. Its good to research the fact and fiction before you put down others achievments and successes.
I agree Dave!!! Am 24, started @ age 17, but I am stil natural (but not for long…) Girls can laugh at big oaks, but as soon as summer time comes, it’s us the girls want and it’s us the skinny oaks want to be!!
spend those endless ours in the gym and reep the rewards!
GO BIG OR GO HOME!!
Man RONNIEE COLEMAN IS PURE MUSCLE AND HE AINT ON STEROIDS HES A POLICE OFFICER. IF HE WAS ON DUGS AND HAVING AGGRESSION ATTACKS AND ALL HE WUDNT BE A POLICE OFFICER. MAN GOD GIVE LONG AND FIT LIFE TO THIS MAN. MAY BE WITH RONNIE COLEMAN. THIS IS HUNGER FOR POWER NOT UGLINESS. THEM OTHER BUILDERS R FAKE AND UGLY BUT RONNIE IS THE MAN!
Abominations.
This clearly crosses the line. Pure and simple.
the effects of steroids are even worse in women!!!!! your clitoris enlarges!! when wearing jocks for example it looks like a sagging in the area which is totally gross!!!!!! i used to go to a gym where girls that worked there as personal trainers had competed before and in a photo you could really see it!! it gives you acne, deep voice, aggression and makes your face hairy, butt and boobs which is not supposed to happen with females!!!! i dont know why they put themselves through so much hard work to want to compete when you get nothing positive in return.
Please people, just think about this for a few minutes. Yes many bodybuilders use steroids and virtually all competitive bb’s take steroids. This is not new news. It is however exciting when it is exaggerated and exploited to the point of scaring the average person who may have never even attempted resistance training in the life, much less muscle enhancing drugs. Why is the general public so quick to drag these compounds through the mud without doing more than five minutes of research? Or similarly quoting a horror story that happened to a freind of a freind of a guy who didnt know how to use these drugs…because like many he didnt do his research and painted a black picture for the entire using community. I think my point should be fairly clear- one appears very ignorant,biased, and judgemental if they base their opinions on others uneducated opinions and nobody did their homework to see if if what they claim is based verifyable evidence. I find it very dissapointing to look at an article such as this, see that no references are provided, modified photos have been presented as legitamite images and that fact, fiction, misconceptions, ignorance and lack of research have been loosely woven together to terrify a population who has never been wronged by this hardworking and diciplined community…AKA drug abusers.
Lets respect others choices and do everyone a favor- lets start thinking for ourselves. Thanks to those of you who commented in favor of dedicated-no limits bodybuilding. Its a great sport which has helped millions more than it ever has, or will harm.
Just so everyone knows, the picture of Melissa Dettwiller (well, the original) is from Brian Moss’ Shemuscle.com. I am the webmaster there and just thought that since the photo is not branded and these is no credit given that I would mention it here.
Only fair, right?

Man, that looks so incredible stupid.. But I gotta point out one tiny thing (no, not these dudes “tools”); not all of these pictures are real, some of them have been tampered with. I would know, I happen to know who the guy 3rd from the top is, and he`s not even close to having that kind of size..
these people are crazy but one thing about this that gets me really mad is that no one stops it!!!! if anything sometimes people encourage it, wrestlers for example so many of them destroy there bodies just to show of there mucles. but i think that sterroidss just make your muscles big , they don’t make you stronger!!!! seriosly it is kind of bad if you can’t move your arm up and down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like bodybuilding and i like it as sport, but it’s too much. What were they thinking? Why they think it’s a good body? It’s really too much! Especially a couple of above pictures look insane, i wonder what those bodybuilders gonna do whet they will be old? Overweight, bad health etc etc!
.-= Arnold´s last undefined ..If you register your site for free at =-.
I don’t understand why some female bodybuilders are on the search for that type of mass…
the first six are rediculous, and those people cannot be healthy.
the seventh picture however is a very successful bodybuilder, who did everything well.
Body Building is an art I started when I was in 8th grade and something I will never look down on. seeing people look at you when you walk in a bar and you immediately get respect there is no doubt in my mind.
I am a 29 yo. female that is starting a 10 week cycle. Has any one (woman) else done this? If so what were the irreversible side effects? I am doing a pretty low dose and I am injecticing it. I do not plan on ever doing this again after this cycle.
guys, just to clear things up, some of those photos are with no doubt in mind, photoshopped. Take a look at Ronnie Coleman in the tenth photo. He is 8-time Mr Olympia and just retired from the bodybuilding scene few years back and his body is considered as the best ever. So, those which are bigger than his are probably photoshopped.
and another thing, steroids or not, these guys work damn hard for their muscles. Everyday in the gym and in the kitchen. Training to their physical max and bearing the pain all the way. When you see a bodybuilder walking down the street, think of that. That’s what his body represents.
Yes yes yes, their bodies looks bloody extreme. I’ll be the first to admit it. But believe me, when you drive a Lamborghini often enough, it’s speed might seem normal to you. I found it extreme and crazy too. But now I admire these men for their achievement.
And about steroids, I agree with both ends. On one hand, progression of the sport is important. And honestly, such development will not be possible without steroids. On another hand is safety of these athletes and ethics of the sport.
I think there’s a middle to it. You see pro bodybuilders nowadays (go to http://www.bodybuilding.com to enlighten yourself) and they barely show any side effects of steroids. Thats because they know how to cycle them steroids and prevent all side-effects. Yes guys! It IS possible.
And as for ethics, if everyone is doing it, is it still considered cheating?
I can’t beleive some of the idiots on this thread! Many have no idea what they are talking about and are just screaming out their lack of intelligance. Like the guy who stated all these men have a small penis. What is that. Steroids have nothing to do with penis size at all. You are born with what you got. Their testicles, well that is a whole different matter. Steriod use will cause testicular atrophy (shrinkage) and other problems that go with it.
Anyone who does’nt realize the first px in the series are fakes is quite ignorant. People don’t seem to realize the effort and discipline it requires to look like this.They look incredible, and the people with the strongest negative opinions you can guarentee are fat, sad clowns with zero self esteem. I applaud bodybuilders who strive for personal perfection and walk to there own beat.There is use and abuse of all drugs, and the serious BB’s I’ve met are the most driven,health concious group of people you could ever meet. The bottom line is that ignorance and jealousy fuel these weaklings negative outlook. peace…
I cannot believe that some people can’t clearly see that the first 6 photos are fake. Markus Ruhl is the bodybuilder in the first couple shots, and although he’s huge, those pictures are manipulated. Your penis does not shrink, your balls do, and your dick works better than ever. Do some of these guys use to much juice?Sure, a couple, but responsibly used steroids make a good physique simply awesome.Beautiful, really.Women should definitely steer clear of this practice.Injecting combative, opposite hormones can’t be healthy. peace…
i am training to be a body builder ! how can ppl say they are not impressed at looking at a guy thats put years and years of effort into his passion ?? you guys are impressed buy doctors and surgons who put there all into there job ! these guys are training day in day out and if the use roids its there bussiness not yours !
i would love to be as big as ronnie coleman or jay cutler ! and at the end of the day its up to individuals to choice what there body looks like ! there is a lot of sacrife in body building (trust me i know this )
[...] When Bodybuilding and Steroids Go Too Far – Life in the Fast Lane SAVE [...]
dear moderator. you are so biased. it’s not even funny. you commented on one coment stating that it was the best one. the coment ended with Ronnie Coleman is dead. looks like you see what you want to see. guess what Ronnie is alive and kicking
I spent a fair amount of time reading the article, the responses, etc.. and the best thing I could think to say was “what the f*ck?”
Beginning of article: “Depending on the drug, anabolic steroids can cause a person’s behavior can change with increased aggression and irritability. Some of this aggression has caused people to commit armed robbery, use force to obtain something, and physical fighting.[...]”
It was at about this point I lost most (if not all) respect for the writer. I’m trying to get a good picture of this in my head, “Yeah that uncle Greg, oh man, he was a good guy. But when he began taking those roids watch out, he started beating people up and robbing the neighborhood stores with guns!” Shut up.
There are a lot of different steroids to choose from, pick one that works for You if you decide you’re going to take them. Take the time to learn about cycling, proper diet for maintenance of the system while on the drug, proper does sizes, etc.. Moderation & being well informed is key.
A couple ending comments and I’ll be on my way. One: Markus Ruhl is a real person (omg.. really?) and is the man in the first couple pictures and he’s a big mother f*cker. Two: Ronnie Coleman is Not dead.. Another one of my “what the f*ck” moments, who says this sh** just to say it? “Oh yeah by the way, he played with guns, and now he’s dead.” “Oh really, suicide? Accident?” “No, natural causes.. but he Did have a gun.” Just because he’s huge, you assume he took/takes steroids does Not mean you can just up and assume he’s Dead – and at that, dead from something less likely to kill him than choking on a chicken bone. Come on.
Here’s a fun idea: Watch the TV, wait for a commercial advertising some medication, and listen/watch carefully for the *Possible Side Effects* list. Quit spreading this paranoid bull sh** and focus on something more productive. Something positive. End.

This article lacks research and proper notation of any scientific evidence. Without such it makes for a rather baseless article. Also note that many of the pictures used are of people whom have injected synthol and have used cosmetic surgery as well, not to mention the photoshoping. Synthol is not a steroid nor is cosmetic surgery therefore the pictures are misleading.
Testies atrophy if hCG is not used, penises don’t. Also steroids are not wonder pills you still need to work for your gains. Ontop of that they have plenty of legit uses in the medical world.
how to i improve my size i m 6 feet man but i have just 55 kg
Well, those images show the huge difference among 21th century bodybuilders vs 20th century bodybuilders. The first ones were more athletic, the actual ones more phenomenals. Although it is admirable their passion and discipline on bodybuilding, it’s a fact that they risk to carry fatal health consequences.
Scary !

and the funny thing is, these guys think that women find this ‘hot’. women would rather go for the ugliest, fattest guy before one of these freaks.
that is gross
it’s not real some of it anyway
Deborah who wrote this article didn’t do any research at all. Also, many of the photos are fake. They were photoshoped.
wow, the weakest guy in the world could kill those guys with a gun. mind over brawn folks
The beginner bodybuilder would first aim to achieve a certain number of repetitions, with a certain weight (say 10 repetitions with 50 kilograms on the bench press). The following week, 2.5 kilograms would be added, and so on, until the lifter can only complete six-eight repetitions.
The aim will then be to, once again, complete 10 repetitions with the weight they are currently achieving six-eight with. The truth is, the only way to progress in bodybuilding is to subject the muscles to greater a greater level of intensity on a continual basis – commonly known as progressive resistance training.
Oh my God, they are Monsters.
actually , most of them are real but alot of the pictures have been blown up, on photoshop and makes them look alot bigger than they are the biggest bodybuilders you will ever see will be like
Ronnie coleman
Mark ruhl
Jay cutler
google them thats as big as any bodybuilder will ever get well till the future but for now thats the max.
All of those people in the pics above used steroids and continue to use ‘em, there is nothing wrong with using steroids, its their way of making money and i bet all of yous not even half as rich and wealthy as they are.
-if you think its unhealthy -> then don’t do it, no one is forcing you to go through it,
alot of them figured a way to stay healthy while on juice, but then again define HEALTHY,
there are people all over the world who smokes, drinks and do other form of drugs just for the joy of it they are consider unhealthy as well. Lots of normal people who try to avoid doing drugs/smoke/drinking lift weight, simply thinking that they are staying safe could die a sudden death. Some people die from a heart attack and they didn’t even lift a weight in their lives.
-if you think its cheating -> cheating relative to whom, to have that kind of muscles you need steroids imagine for example if Olympic runners never used steroids they will simply lets say run slow, now lets say they all used steroids then they will all run faster. Its like taking everyone into a new level and still the winner will be the one who put the most effort while on juice.
-if you think it ll result in an early death-> well its better to live a short live but an interesting one rather than living a long life but a boring one!
most people think that they could gain something from life that could help them in after death, the fact is life is not like a school/uni or work(as in a job) each one depend on the pervious one, for example Uni depend on school, work depends on UNI, i.e you work hard in one to help you in the other one, however when it comes to sports(specially bodybuilding) and steroids you do it becouse you interested in doing it and you only care about today becouse that when and where its counts
Very Good points,but lets make it more even more COMPLEX.Its not necessarily a case of if all athletes juice,its the one with the biggest heart who wins.It also CAN come down to quality,amount,types of drugs
genetics also can still play a part STILL (same dosage,quality,types for same athletes,does not necessarily even the playing field totally 
So how do you achieve absolute fair game..i don’t think you really can 
oh yeah as you may have realised i don’t care for sports,its too limiting,where as the MIND is only limited as much as you choose.It can be VERY VERY VERY difficult to GENIUNELY know who has earned something over someone else,unless you subscribe to the MIGHT IS RIGHT philosophy….My conclusion….WHO CARES then if you can’t be SURE about anything. *~* *~* *~*
because their are to many possibilites and complexities when it comes to TRUE victories,as the tiniest differences can make the BIGGEST differences.. aaahhhh!!!! but we humans like simplicity and like the idea that people WIN because of superior spirit or whatever.So here i am playing mr shrink,breaking it ALL down to nothing

Or perhaps you have experience as I do and you are
Hey HANK,sorry i don’t want to screw up your sales pitch,but sometimes discipline,balls of steel,spirit on fire..blah..blah all that good ole stuff JUST ISN’T enough is it now (c’mon you know that)depending on your genetic design (end,M.E.S.O,ecto) and it complete B.S that you can completely overcome your sh#tty genes(if you did,then you have had to of had a decent enough degree of MESO quality and just didn’t BELIEVE so,oh yeah and probably comparing yourself to a PRO MESO,then of course you thought you were a ecto young chappy
THE TRUTH is that not everyone can acheive the body they want and therefore may look to some chemical assistance ( i understand this) for most pro being PARTICULARY MESOMORPHIC IN COMPOSITION it was a NATURAL COURSE/progression to the levels their now at,i respect this more than the desperate endo’s or ecto’s (true ones)Doing what your NATURALLY good at is best IMHO,but i suppose many never realise their own potential(or lack of) and end up living life as “I WANNA BE MIKE” brown nosers.Whoops did i just undermine your PLUG claims by stating some REALITIES about body transformations.
Hey people ,not saying PROs are drug free.But many looked fantastic according to the general publics standards.Google arnie at age 18,before he even touched roids to get the idea and realise that whats smart for one is not so for another,as they say different horses for different courses.
Some of these comments make me laugh. First of all, If you can’t tell which of these photos are doctored and which ones are real you people are idiots. Secondly, some if you people have 0 knowledge of how steroids work. As a steroid user I have no time for uneducated and misinformed people like you. You simply don’t understand how it works, and people always fear what they don’t understand.
Wow these photos are creepy!
But getting back to steroids – they were banned long ago by the Olymics Committee and other sports organizations not only because they are hazardous to health, using them makes the playing field uneven. Drug free supplements work with your body instead of against it and can help good athletes become great without the chemical interference of roids.
I personally don’t take steroids and never have. I know a lot of people out there have taken them and a lot of people that don’t understand bodybuilding at all like to quickly bash them.
I want to know who has actually done research to prove all the negative side affects of Steroids? They are illegal so nobody could possibly do any research on them.
Now though I don’t take steroids and don’t understand them I’m not going to bash them. I mean how much worse can that be than watching a group of people stand out in freezing weather to smoke something that they know will cause cancer?
I mean it’s a matter of live and let live and it’s also funny how the people who want to bring up “Roid Rage” as they put it always seem to have the most harsh of comments while they rant about how “These People” are angry and out of control, so I have to ask.
If you don’t do steroids and think they contribute to aggressive behavior why would you outright call them out in a negative way unless you just want to add to the anger factor? Makes no sense to me but maybe someone can enlighten me on this….
Be safe and be healthy…. PEACE!!
no doubt, body building is good 4 health.but to go at such extreme is not good.25 min Daily exercise, tats more than enough for a normal person.
one can usesteroid,but better consult expert or doctor b4 start using.better go for natural herbs,but in proper proportion limit.
i hav seen lot of people getting lot of side effects after using steroid for 1 yr.headache was one of the common side effect.but having steroid with consulting experts can save you from most of the minor side effects.
Those who didnt know a ton of those were shopped are idots. Plus the first picture of Markus Ruhl is shopped as well. Just better done than most
Again, naysayers and people…..GET LIVES!!
So WHAT if these guys take steroids?? And then you judge by a few photoshopped pictures and then you can even tell the difference between what is photoshopped and what is not? (A lot of these pictures have been floating around on the web for YEARS!!!)
Listen up, it is their (bodybuilder) business if they decide to go the steroid route. And yes, the “they’re bad, they’re cheaters, blah blah blah etc etc…SO WHAT??
People should quit being so darn judgmental and take care of what is happening in their own lives. And if you don’t like the physiques…move on to someone else! There are those out there that do like the huge muscled physique and appreciate the hard work that goes into it….steroids or not!
Now, go life your own lives!
This is bull s*** yaw are wasting you guys time the more steroids u take the baddder your health gets

If you have to make a choice, whether to damage your health from alcohol, cigarettes or steroids abuse, choose steroids. Everything can be abused in not understood. Educate before judging.
look its the hulk
I have juandice from something. will it go away on its own and how long after I stop eating “pizza” will it go away?
Thanks for any help.
I bet that all of you dont even know what you buy in the supermarket and eat, and you are going to s+it on people that have more willpower than you will ever see on TV… COME ON!!!
How many of you have trained for 2-8 hours a yer yet alone a day?!!!
thes people are dedicated to what they are doing and I for one respect them!!!
how many of you can say you have never taken drugs, stole something or hurt someone…???
ANY VOLENTERES… I THOUGHT SO!!!
Bodybuilders put a tremendous quantities of time and effort into what they do!!!
if any of you co***** would put 1/8 the energy to some good use you wouldnt be so frutrated by yourselves to have to pick on someone you dont even know becouse of somethig you heard from some dickwad you heard it from…
I apologize for the language, but it pises me of when dumb people get so loud over something you ***** will never understand…
good god…
I feel pity for these men and women ruining their bodies pushing infact surpassing onvincingly, the limits of disproportions in the default structure configured by the nature…salutes, you retards…
Steroids look gross especially the pictures above. I know a guy whose got a nice physique and guess what he doesn’t use steroids! He just eats right and use protein supplements. He looks better than these freak show steroid users!
steroids saves bodybuilding.steroids will alive till bodybuilding die.
Why do people put themselves through this. Steroids will kill you eventually.
Each one of these photos has been photoshopped. The originals are out there if you care to look.
Anyway, I personally don’t use steroids. I feel no need to. But everyone complaining about steroid use needs to watch the film, Bigger Faster Stronger. It will explain all the obvious misunderstandings that you have surounding steroids. Ofcourse they are dangerous if misused. But then, so are cigarettes, alcohol (i guarantee some of you smoke and drink, in which case you are hypocrites, both do far more damage than steroids!) Even mutivitamins can kill you if you misuse them. Also, there is no such thing as “Roid rage” it’s a myth. Let me put it this way: If a skinny little guy starts shouting and screaming for no reason, nobody would really care. But if he then put on 50lbs of muscle on a steroid cycle and did the same thing, you’d all care then. “If a d**k puts on 50lbs of muscle on steroids, all he is, is a bigger d**k”. Understand?
Also, steroids are used to preserve peoples lives in HIV cases. Infact, in most cases they do more good to your health than bad (provided they are used along side a healthy diet etc). I can’t believe people b**ch about steroids while alcohol is being openly sold around the world.
By the way, the tom platz photos are not photoshopped. He was just amazing when it came to training his legs! Watch one of his training videos and you’ll see he earned them! (he is still alive and healthy today, and one of the loveliest peolple you’ll ever meet.
Most of if not all of these pictures are real. Have you ever seen what the cows look like that we get our meat from? They’re monsters because of the amount of steroids they are pumped with to increase the output of meat per animal.
People use the SAME steroids that are used for animals, such as horse steroids, cattle steroids etc…it has the SAME effect. Not to mention, these guys ingest somewhere upwards of what, 15,000 calories a day. Your testicles shrink, not the penis…the penis, JUST LIKE the clitoris actually becomes LARGER.
You CAN use steroids safely as long as you don’t take it too far. If you are doing it in cycles and not for a prolonged period of time, just to achieve a good look, not a monstrous, incredible hulk look lol then you will be just fine without any problems or complications.
Man, that is nasty. I mean, why would people go for steroids??
Lot’s of photoshop and the real photos are just nasty.

Yes the first few are photoshoped. if you dont think they are then your an idoit plain and simple. So lets set a few things straight here…your dick doesnt shrink its your balls. an they shrink becuase of the female hormones are so high AFTER you get off the roids but will return normal when the slowly return to normal levels. You only hear the storys of people who abuse it. but then again its not allowed in the united states so theirs no say on whats abusing it. i take a small amout that does make a diffearance for me an i have no side effects AT ALL. my docter has been checking on me since day one an that was 3 years ago.
Guys this isnt real did they know this is the way they would end up to and do they regret.
ich finds geil

Okay so I am probably going to get bashed for this comment, but whatever.
Its not like people want to look like that. These are the extremes of the human body as maxed out with muscle.
Why do you think people will pay big bucks to go to these body building contests. It is not because they think these people are freaks, it is because they are impressed that they pushed their bodies to the physical limit.
I am not at all endorsing steroids. I do however understand the appeal of taking them. If you were the scrawny kid growing up, and you see these extremely muscular men and women, it does seem like a good idea to get bigger, stronger, and faster with some help. So the appeal is not to become these ginormous muscle machines, but to improve your own appearance. Especially nowadays when appearance is so important to society. That is my take on the growing number of people taking steroids.
This need for physical improvement is a cultural problem, that does not stem from steroids, but from the media messages that tells everyone people have to be a certain way otherwise they will not be accepted.
I would say 90% of those photos are photo shopped, but even still, the 10% that are not – THEY ARE WAY TO BIG. There is a point when you can get too big and bulky that it would just destroy your joints and put too much pressure on your internal organs. These guys are too big to have any function in normal life, they can’t sit in normal chairs, they can’t wear normal clothes, they can’t fit in doorways – it’s pretty ridiculous. The only thing they can do is work out and eat. Yes, everybody’s body is different and some people can function at their peak with some bulk but the majority of people cannot. The optimum level of muscularity I would say is the size of a football wide receiver. They’re about 8-12% body fat and they are at a weight where they can optimize their athletic abilities. Just imagine if the world was uncivilized and these guys lived in a village. They would be the first to be eaten by a predator because they are too slow or just one twist away from getting injured. Bad analogy, but I think you get the point.

they should have a steroid olympics/sports comps even if people dont like the steroid situation i bet you they will still watch the steroid sports if there was one i know alot of people that will watch it and the people taking steroids aint hurting no-one but themselves but the ones that have probarbly hurt people have abused the drug i suppose,,
Bodyuilding is a sport where you can’t compete unless you use some sort of drug. Not only should you use alot of roids to compete but you need to be a scientist to take the correct amount and the correct roid at the correct time. You also need to be so critical over your body not to over develope on part out of preportion. I have grate respect for the top bodybuilding competitors as the discipline that goes into the sport is tremendous.
Now not all bodybuilders are scientists and could have deformalities and will look somewhat strainge.
Like smoking and drinking it will have side effects, some irreversable. Taking the sport up you need to make the choise. I cant judge them for their choise but have to say I have seen some competitors with the most beautiful bodies, male and female.
Wow this is great,i usually go for their shows because i love seeing their bodies enlarge from something to small to something big.Am soon joining the club.Thanks for the blog
“Injected steroids are put directly into the blood stream, making them far easier on your liver, but there is much concern over safe injection practices.”
Get your facts straight, Steroids are injected via intramuscular injection. Injecting into the blood stream can kill someone as most steroids are suspended in oil solution. This could plug the capillaries in ones avioli causing gas transfer to the blood to cease.
I read this article and I must say it is completely bias and utter fear mongering. When anabolics are used appropriately, side effects are small. Taking medication upon completion of a cycle such as nolvadex or clomid blocks estrogen from binding preventing gyno and promoting the body to resume natural testosterone production. I have used and am currently using anabolics and I have had no negative side effects. If one dose the research and is prepared and uses anabolics appropriately without abuse, great gains can be made.
hallo can u guys please give me more info on everything please
that’s just wrong.
While I agree with some of the message, many of these photos are hilariously photoshopped.
They didn’t need to be, either! Unnatural muscle is still obvious, even without photoshopping.
These photos are FUNNY! I’m sending this to a few workout buddies.
Mmm… lovely look! I wonder if they’ll take part in professional sports any time soon?
Steroids are bad for your in the long term. These bodybuilders do not know the kind of damage they are putting their body to.
Hey Guys and Ladies,
First of all – the first few pics are definitely not real, they are a fake.
Second, this men and women don’t necesserily want to be atractive, bodybuilding is an extreme sport nowadays.
and third, Steroids are taken in every sport by elite athletes, i’m definitely not a friend of them but the real guilty ones are their sponsors and the industry because they push them further and further.
Greets,
Max
Nice photo, some of them made me laugh, but seriously, steroid is bad, especially in the amount.
Strange, why do people do it? Bodybuilding, well weight training, is a really healthy form of exercise – low impact, keeps you strong, good for bones, spine etc. But getting that big, I dunno, just too extreme.
Steroids are really bad for you. Watch the documentary from National Geography called “Steroids”. It shows how bodybuilders begin taking steroids and what harm it brings to their bodies.
Actually, one of those “freaks” in the pictures above, Franco Columbu, is looking and doing fine going into his old age. http://www.trygve.com/francocolumbu.jpg He’s the short guy.
He is a chiropractor and has his own website, too.
steriods are not bad 4 U !!!!!!!!! so take them and average of three people die year around from steriods lol
Jesus those guys must be nuts. Those are definitely good examples of body building gone bad…
It is amazing what the human body can do bit can you imagine the strain it must put on the organs. I am gonna stick to photoshop!
