With steroid use comes many sets of risks. These include legal, financial, and health issues. Most of the discussion on side effect of steroid use revolves around the long-term effects of usage, mainly disrupted HPTA function, hair loss, and Gynecomastia. What often isn’t discussed are the set of inherent risks that come from using needles to make injections. Many bodybuilders inject steroid oils into their body on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. Users of growth hormone and insulin will make injections multiple times each day. That’s a whole lot of needles breaking the skin of the body. With each successive injection, the likelihood for a ‘bad shot’ increases. They happen to all users at one time or another, and while most of the time they just lead to a little bit of pain, some can lead to a bacterial infection. Knowing the difference between the two is very important.

In this world, it’s hard to find anything that everyone agrees upon. Even in the world of bodybuilding, where you’d think there would be some unanimity as far as what works and what doesn’t, we just don’t see it. Some bodybuilders swear by certain proteins, and others pledge their allegiance to any and all kinds.
