Steroids can kill you. Don't do them. They will also make your penis smaller, so it won't really matter how big the rest of your muscles are.

Answer 7

Anabolic androgenic steroids produce both anabolic and virilization (also known as androgenic) effects. Most anabolic steroids work in two simultaneous ways. First, they work by binding the androgen receptor and increasing protein synthesis. Second, they also reduce recovery time by blocking the effects of the stress hormone, cortisol, on muscle tissue. As a result, catabolism of the body's muscle mass is greatly reduced.

Examples of anabolic effects:

* Increased protein synthesis from amino acids
* Increased muscle mass and strength
* Increased appetite
* Increased bone remodeling and growth
* Stimulation of bone marrow increasing production of red blood cells

Examples of virilizing/androgenic effects:

* Growth of the clitoris (clitoral hypertrophy) in females and the penis in male children (the adult penis does not grow indefinitely even when exposed to high doses of androgens)
* Increased growth of androgen-sensitive hair (pubic, beard, chest, and limb hair)
* Increased vocal cord size, deepening the voice
* Increased libido
* Suppression of endogenous sex hormones
* Impaired spermatogenesis

Steroids do have some unwanted side effects, particulary increased cholesterol and blood pressure, although has not been proven. Most of what you know about steroids are myths that have been devoloped to steer people away from them. The bottom line is that they are practically harmless when the benefits are considered. You would be extremely unlikely to die from steroid use.

There are a number of popular misconceptions about anabolic steroids. A few such misconceptions are:

* Anabolic steroids reduce penis size. Anabolic steroid use does not reduce penis size. This myth probably came from the side effect of anabolic steroids known as testicular atrophy in which the use of anabolic steroids will cause natural testosterone levels to decrease, thus reducing testicle size. This side effect is temporary and testicles return to normal once use is stopped and natural testosterone levels return to normal.

* Anabolic Steroids will kill you if you use them. This is one of the most common misconceptions. Anabolic steroids are used widely in the medical field without any serious health risks to users and no scientific evidence has shown any long term serious health defects from correct use of anabolic steroids. While risk of death is present in many drugs, the risk of premature death from use of anabolic steroids seems to be extremely low.

* Anabolic steroids have caused many teenagers to commit suicide. While lower levels of testosterone have been known to cause depression, and ending a steroid cycle is known to result in temporarily lower testosterone levels, the claim that anabolic steroids are responsible for specific suicides among teenagers is debatable. In the United states the estimated use of anabolic steroids among high school students was 2.8% in 1999. On the other hand, in the year 2000 in the United States, suicide was the third leading cause of death among 15- to 24-year-olds. With the suicide rate this high among teenagers, concluding anabolic steroids are responsible for the suicides of teenagers who happened to be taking them prior to committing suicide is a Post hoc logical fallacy. Also, even though teen bodybuilders have been using steroids since at least the early 1960's, only a few cases suggesting a link between steroids and suicide have been reported in the medical literature.

* Lyle Alzado died from brain cancer caused by anabolic steroids. Alzado himself had claimed that his cancer was caused by anabolic steroids. However, there is no medical evidence anabolic steroids can cause brain cancer and Alzado's own doctors admitted anabolic steroids had nothing to do with his death.

* Roid rage. Most studies done on "angry behavior" and anabolic steroid use show no psychological effect, implying that either "roid rage" doesn't exist or that anabolic steroids effects on aggression are too small to be measured. Many scientists and medical professionals conclude anabolic steroids have no real effect on increased angry behavior.

* Arnold Schwarzenegger had heart problems because of his anabolic steroid use. This claim is false. Arnold Schwarzenegger was born with a genetic defect in which his heart only had a bicuspid aortic valve. It was a congenital disorder meaning he was born with it. Normal hearts have 3 cusps. However Arnold Schwarzenegger had only 2 cusps which can occasionally cause problems, especially later in life.
