Home Run 'Roids\n\n \n\nBeneath the buff\n \n\nBarry Bonds blasted his 715th career home run on Sunday, surpassing baseball legend Babe Ruth's total tally of 714. Bonds now stands second on the all-time home run list, behind another baseball legend--Henry "Hammerin' Hank" Aaron, who hit 755.\n\nBaseball people put Bonds among the all-time greats. But steroids have put him under a cloud. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Bonds told a federal grand jury in 2003 that he used "clear" and "cream" substances his personal trainer said were a nutritional supplement and an arthritis balm. Yet prosecutors say "the clear" and "the cream" were steroids designed to foil steroid tests, and have put people in jail for making them.\n\nThe investigation continues, as does Bonds's pursuit of Hank Aaron's home run record. Meanwhile, we're taking our own look at steroids. Turns out, when the media say "steroids," they almost always mean "androgenic-anabolic steroids," a collection of more than 100 synthetic drugs used by people hoping to boost muscle mass. Yet the generic term "steroids" actually covers a much larger group of substances--some of which you're "on" right now.\n\nRead My Lipids\n\nAlong with lots of water, you're mostly made of four kinds of organic macromolecules: proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acid, and lipids. Proteins are long chains of amino acids that combine to do lots of jobs for the body. Carbohydrates are chains of sugar molecules strung together to store energy. Nucleic acid is the key ingredient in DNA. And lipids include a variety of naturally occurring steroids.\n\nNever heard of lipids? You may know them by their other names: oils, fats, and waxes. Some lipids store energy. Others help your body keep moisture in or out. Still others, the steroid hormones, carry chemical signals that help you regulate bodily functions.\n\nName Your Steroids\n\nYour body produces steroid hormones in two major places: in your adrenal glands--located on top your kidneys--and in your reproductive organs--testes if you're male, ovaries if you're female. These steroid hormones do important work, but you may only know them by their aliases.\n\nEstradiol, a.k.a. estrogen, is a steroid that helps regulate the female menstrual and ovarian cycles. Cortisol, a.k.a. hydrocortisone, helps regulate inflammation and blood sugar levels. Cholecalciferol, a.k.a. vitamin D, helps regulate your calcium levels. There are others, too. And each derives from a "master" steroid you've surely heard of: cholesterol.\n\nAmong the steroids we haven't mentioned is testosterone, a reproductive hormone that stimulates masculine traits. Testosterone is the natural steroid that androgenic-anabolic steroids (the ones that get all the bad press) try to imitate.\n\nArtificial Adolescence\n\nBoth males and females produce testosterone. In females, testosterone levels remain relatively low throughout life--and often decrease, along with estrogen and progesterone levels, after menopause. In males, testosterone levels take off at adolescence, triggering the various changes that accompany puberty--including increased muscle mass.\n\nIt's this adolescent effect that users of androgenic-anabolic steroids want. They take regular doses of testosterone-aping synthetic steroids to trick their bodies into producing muscle tissue as if they were adolescents again. How much more they get depends on dosage, participation in other muscle-building activities (such as weightlifting), and genetics.\n\nYet users of androgenic-anabolic steroids also get some less-than-sexy side effects. Kidney damage, liver damage, and psychological problems are all common. Women often become more masculine. Men, strangely enough, often get the opposite. When artificial steroids trick a body into thinking it has lots of testosterone, it can stop makin

Nothing has been proven but the steroids Bonds has been alleged to have taken:\nThe Cream- Used in conjuction with other steroids to mask them from tests\nThe Clear (Tetrahydrogestrinone, THG)- An anabolic steroid\nInsulin\nTestosterone Decanoate (Mexican Beans)- A fast acting steroid\nTrenbolone- It is used to improve muscle quantity of cows\n\nArnold Schwarzenegger used steroids in his body building career before the US deemed them illegal. The primary steroid he used was Dianabol although he probably used others in conjuction

Steroid abuse can lead to a condition known as agromelia.  This is where in addition to bigger muscle, the guy gets bigger organs as well.  I have seen a guy who abuses steroids and still does (its psychologically addictive) and when he turns sideways, he is just as broad as he is from the back.  This doesn't happen in athletes that get bigger muscles the hard way.\n\nAnother problem he has is pea balls which are miniature testicles.  His penis is only an inch long fully erect.  He is about 25 years old and can't perform sexually and can't get girls pregnant.  If he stops the steroids, he will not recover this ability.  \n\nBecause he has huge muscles, he can get just about any girl he wants, but even if the girl gets over laughing hysterically at is "cute" package, they usually don't stick around long.  I can only image the surprise on those girls faces.\n\nThe last thing a guy wants to hear his girl say is that his package is "cute".

Yes, now they have to keep up with it though.  They can't just walk away now that they got stronger testing.\n\nNote to John C: All steroids are illegal without a prescribtion in the U.S, which is what were talking about.

With or without steroids?

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

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.

Not all rappers do drugs,your stereotyping them as a whole. In some cases what they rap about is not their actual lifestyle, it just sells so they rap about it.

There is a good interview with Chris Mitchell, a self-proclaimed athlete. You may take a look at it at http://www.criticalbench.com/Chris-Mitchell.htm\n\nI quoted one of the paragraphs below and found it very true:\n\nI say no to steroids for many reasons: One, the endless amount of side effects. Two, they are illegal. Three, they are for people with weak minds. Four, they make you become lazy and you end up training like a little girl. That is just a few reasons why I say no to steroids.\n\nI hope this gives you an idea why competitive athletes will attempt to use it.

Okay, man...I dunno about one's "stick," but with annabolic steroid abuse, one's balls WILL shrink.\n\nWeight lifting, without drugs, combined with good nutrition, will get you looking better, and that will get your "stick" more potential exercise from willing women.

Sweat !!!   \n\nThere is nothing you can take that is totally safe to build muscle that is not there now...\n\n\nI highly recommend a good balanced diet, adequet sleep and a quality exercise work out program.\n\nDO NOT take steroids.  They WILL mess you up seriously.\n\nJust look at Aaaaanold he is now a girly man vit flaaabby deflated muscles, and bad kidneys because of it.

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.

yes, but I cannot imagine it being legal. JUST EAT A LOT LOT OF FOOD, and work out like you have the burning hellfire of a thousands suns worth of hatred in your heart and you'll be the strongest person I swear. Don't do those steroids they'll make your heart bad and ruin your life and omg you'll regret
