If you have ever known any high level bodybuilders of the steroid-assisted variety, then you know that most of them aren’t exactly perfectionists when it comes to their diets. Sure, they’re usually pretty consistent about their protein intake. They must have their shakes each day, and a few meals of chicken or beef are always in their daily game plan. However, when their buddies go out for a few beers or somebody passes them a piece of birthday cake, they’re not exactly going to be the ones to decline it. Rather, they indulge in the many calorie-rich offerings of life, and allow their body’s internal furnace to burn off the excess calories.

In the health, and fitness world there has been a sudden craze among bodybuilders to use steroids in order to succeed in body building. For those who are not enlightened about what steroids are then here is a brief description; Anabolic steroids are synthetic proteins which have been manufactured in the lab to resemble the male sex hormone. This hormone is responsible for the growth of the skeletal muscles as well as the development of the male sexual characteristics in both men and women. The proper term for anabolic steroids is anabolic-androgenic steroids. The reason is because they cause both anabolic effects (growth of skeletal muscles) as well as androgenic effects (the development of male sex characteristics).

We all have the same “cocaine receptors”, whatever they may be, and the effects upon the body of a single use of cocaine can be accurately predicted. Users of anabolic steroids, for some reason, don’t encounter the same benefits that cocaine users enjoy!

The 1960s, 70s, and 80s saw professional bodybuilding grow at a tremendous rate. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s “Pumping Iron” movie was a huge hit and cult underground classic for decades. In the 80s, ESPN carried bodybuilding event coverage almost daily. In the 1990s, the sport took an odd turn however. Insulin and growth hormone arrived on the scene. Suddenly, every bodybuilder had thicker skin, larger brows and elbows, and the size of competitors jumped 15 to 20 pounds on average after being relatively stable for several decades.
