Anabolic steroids are an unavoidable topic when you talk about gaining weight and muscle.
Steroids offer the easy way to gain big muscles. If they are used in proper way, they may provide successful results in weight gaining. Otherwise, unpleasant side effects will occur.
Steroids is a general term for a class of strong drugs containing hormone-like substances. Anabolic steroids are synthetical derivatives of male sex hormones called androgens, such as testosterone or nandrolone.
In the United States they are legally available by prescription only and are used in the treatment of certain muscle-wasting sicknesses. Illegal use is considered to be ungovernable in professional bodybuilding and other professional sports.

What Do Anabolic Steroids Do?
Anabolic steroids provide both anabolic (muscle-building) and androgenic (masculine characteristics) effects. The anabolic effects of raising testosterone levels include affecting protein synthesis to facilitate more rapid muscle growth.
The increased presence of the hormones directs the body to use a greater amount of consumed calories to add more lean muscle mass and less fat tissue.
