Steroids in Boxing

[spinksjinx]

Steroids are so common in pro sports, who really gives a damn anymore. There isnt anything anyone can do about them and eventually the ban will be uplifted.

Steroids has some amazing results when used PROPERLY! It is those fat necked testicle shrinking douches that give steroids a bad name.

For instance, when Toney got injured you could bet your ass if the doctor said "take this it will help you heal faster and better" I would take it.

People who use steroids for injuries are only looking out for there body to make sure the part worked the same before hand. I have seen some people never even able to bend their arm without excruciating pain for the same type of injuries.

Steroids can be a good thing if used properly in any sport. But I do realize why people dont like them.

That's true.

Man... Most of you know **** about Steroids..

I have a few friends who are body builders.. and I have some knowledge I would like to share with you.

Some Side Affects are:
1) Kidney/ Liver Failure. As a sign you piss blood.
2) Irregular heart beat, which can result in a heart attack, or a stroke
3) You can develop irregular size organs, which can pretty much just **** you up all together.
4) Hormonal Imbalance

Some Signs of steroids usage are:
1) Acne!! People get those kinda pimples on their back/shoulders.. looks like a rash..
2) Reddish skin
3) Steroids increase your body hair growth (due to hormonal imbalance).. But if a person is just plain hairy, that does not mean he is on steroids.
4) Crazy mood swings, again due to hormonal imbalance

Most important thing is that most of you think that if someone is on steroids they should be build. THAT IS NOT TRUE AT ALL!

1) Steroids can be used for body building, that is if you work out
2) In sports steroids are used for:
a) Endurance
b) Strength / Power

1 - Marathon runners, bicyclists, swimmers that take steroids don't look all that buffed, do they? The take steroids for ENDURANCE...
It allows you to take more oxygen in your blood which makes you last longer.

2 - Weight lifters (not body builders) take steroids for STRENGTH and POWER
So this nonsense that "Steroids don't give you power" is pure bull****

Curious question, has anyone here used steroids?

[SHANE, (from england)]

Hi all im new to this site and im from the uk,im 21 and i used to box when i was 17,i never had a proper fight i just did the training ie pad work, sparring, jogging etc as the gym closed after me bieng there just 6 months, but i wanna get back into it as a new gym with some good trainers has opened near me, the gym has trained and braught on a young (21)british ametuare champ.

Ive been BODY BUILDING for about 1 year as i decided i needed to bulk up im 6ft 2 and i weigh 12 half stone but i used to weigh 10 half so ive gained 2 stone naturally and my strength has literally doubled i can bench press just over my body weight now.The reason i posted here is ive started roids 4 weeks ago as the curiosity of it all was killing me.Im doing 500mg of TEST Enanthate with Dbol for 10 weeks, my strength has gone through the roof already and ive gaine half a stone but some of that is probably water weight.Im not planning on doing another cycle of roids as it will catch up with you in the end.I no loads of info on BB diets and trainig and roids but boxing is obviously very different.
