Steroids

On the DEAs website on steroids, they provide a large amount of information about anabolic steroids as well as different ways in which people use them. They discuss how they can be taken orally, intramuscularly, or simply rubbed on the skin. The site then goes on to discuss how many people who take anabolic steroids take more than one type of drug thinking that different drugs will target certain areas of their bodies. Some people also take steroids for a period of time, stop for a short while and then begin taking the drugs again. This is a popular method for taking anabolic steroids and is known as cycling. Another method for taking the drugs is known as pyramiding in which the athlete gradually increases the amount of steroids throughout the cycle and then eases back down towards the end. This information is very interesting to me because I think that most people do not realize how serious steroids are. The people who take these drugs have very specific things that they do, and routines that they follow. Steroids are a very serious matter and have tremendous effects on the human body both positively and negatively so I guess in a way it is good that those who use the drugs have a regimented system for what they do. On the other hand I highly doubt that pumping yourself full of different types of steroids is the best decision for one’s health but I guess if you are going to cheat you better make sure you are being safe.
