No, they aren't steroids. However, they are healthy. You can eat anything healthy and become strong. The only reason why some people don't is because it tastes bad or something. Steroids are easier, but you get addicted and you lose tons of money from buying too much. It also gives boobs to men and pubic hair to women (also a man-like voice). By the way, steroids have chemicals and stuff. The other things you mentioned are natural and safe.

It depends what you mean by steroids.If you are taking about glucocorticoids such as prednisone,there is a danger that you will have a flare up of the disease for which you were taking the drug.i.e. an autoimmune disease.If you are taking about anabolic steroids you should taper slowly so that your testes will start producing it again otherwise you will have no sex drive.

Eat less, exercise more. Talk to your doctor about the steroid impact on your body so that you can set up a good diet and exercise plan for your needs.

An anabolic steroid intended for human use would have less impurities than one intended for animal use.  Animal drugs don't have to go through so many regulations, they are not as "clean".  As far as results (muscle hypertrophy) go after use, there is no difference.  Molecule is the same.  Most of the steroids that circulate illegally are intended for vet use.

The way I understand it, Anablolic steroids introduce more testosterone into your body. This cause your muscle fibers to more easily "tear" when lifting weights. Then the muscle rebuilds much faster and larger because of the excess testosterone. But, there are many side effects from chronic use of these steroids. Go to any search engine and look up Lyle Alzado and you will find out how dangerous these substances can be.

While there are no 'easy' ways there are effective ways.\n\nMuscles need exercise, rest and nutrition in the right proportion in order to grow stronger.  \n\nResistance training actually breaks down the muscle fibers and rest with the proper supply of nutrients will make the muscles grow stronger.  A general rule of thumb is to give your arms one day rest, heavy leg training two days rest with abs and aerobics six days a week.\n\nThe reason that steroids and other supplements make your muscles grow faster is that they decrease this recovery time allowing you to train more.  However the supporting structures (ligaments and tendons) don't grow as fast and are often torn from this imbalance making life miserable and training impossible.\n\nThere are also other hormonal and emotional side-effects from taking steroids including decreased sperm production.  You are wise in avoiding that.  \n\nA good balanced diet is all that is needed.  Most North American and Western diets have plenty of protein but too much fat and not enough fruits and vegetables.  With enough protein I would focus on getting lots of fruits and vegetables because the vitamins and minerals will help all your body functions including building muscle.

Don't take anything and just lift light weights.\n\nYour muscles and bones are still developing so it's bad for them to lift heavy weights until you are finished growing.\n\nStay off steroids and supplements because they are not good for anyone.\n\nAsk your doctor or someone else who has some knowledge.

You can google it...I just did.\n\nBottom line is...below professional level - ALL supplements are dangerous and should be avoided...you have to learn to eat right first or you're not doing yourself any favors.\n\nAnd, in my opinion, if you have to use supplements - you're not a good athlete anyways. Most of them leave muscle mass water laden and soft  and they put needless pressure on the heart and kidneys.

Steroids, but they are illegal. If you have a legitimate reason then a Dr can write you a prescription.

Hard work.  Since this is a precursor (I think) to testosterone, it effects the hormones in the body.  However, something such as creatine has much evidence to enhance strength and edurance as well as give a pumped apperarance (usually due to water retention.  The adro can have nasty side effects such as "bacne" (pimples on shoulders and back) and gynocomasteia (bit** t*ts).

As an ex-model, steroids had done wonders for my body and my career. I've done them the smart way, under the supervision of a doctor (who's my friend) and few famous professional body builders (I'm a female)\nIt depends how you do steroids, what amounts in what period of time you do, what kind of "antidotes" you use after the "cycle" to clean out your liver/kidneys and whole body.\n\nOne thing that I will vouch for 'till the end of my days is Human Growth Hormone. It is not considered a 'steroid" but you can think of it as one. hGH has saved my life, rebuilt all destroyed organs in my body (as a youngster, I did lots of heavy drugs while partying too much), it made me totally healthy. Since a kit works for 7 years ahead, my body STILL burns fat on it's own, all my wrinkles from tanning too much dissapeared, my hair and skin are just flawless. all doctors I told the truth to, confirmed that it is because I took hGH. When I first started taking it, I was only 18- it made me grow 2 inches taller. And I didn't get any side effects from it, because I took prescribed dosages.\n\nSteroids are not totally "evil". It's evil and wrong to take them without previous research and supervision of those who know how to take them safely.

Creatine is intended for people 18 and over as well with other supplements,  if you are 18 you should take Creatine in a powder form (absorbs the best) Creatine Ethyl Ester would be very good with out any loading phase 3-5 grams day :)

You don't need steroids to develop a great physique.  The risks far outweigh any short-term benefits they provide.  Do your long-term health a favour and stay away from steroids.  \n\nDangers of Anabolic Steroids\nhttp://preventdisease.com/news/articles/report_dangers_anabolic_steroids.shtml

I'm taking NoXplode right now and I love it. Its really given me motivation in the gym. Dont buy it from GNC though youll spend twice as much as you would if you ordered it over the internet. Stack  NoXPlode with a good whey protein, Optimum is my favorite. Dont take and diet pills while you're trying to gain weight. Proper nutrition is key to great gains.
