You bench 225 and therefore assume anyone else is on roids? Yawn. Lot's of people not on the Gear can do more than 225. Lot's of people on it can as well. So what? You want to risk your health and deplete your wallet so you can bench more than the next alpha male at the gym? Great.

You think that being able to bench over 225lbs. means one has to be on steroids? Come on now. Anyone can bench 225. That's not too heavy.
You need to read medical articles and reports on steroids. Asking in a place like this only gets kids repeat the same scare tactics they have been hearing themselves. Illegal drugs are much harsher on your body than steroids, and everyone does them.
You are looking in the wrong place, check out the steroid sites.

the side effects reporting by the media are severely overrated and are all extreme worst case scenarios. the sides are generally dose dependent and can range from water retention, to increased blood pressure, etc. it really depends on what steroid(s) you are using. the side effects from anabolics like deca and dbol differ greatly from the side effects from heavy androgens tren and masteron. they are all not the same and can not be lumped all together.
bodybuilding is 80% diet, 10% training and 10% supplementation (both OTC and AAS). with out a proper diet you will get now where in the sport. unless you have been dieting and training non-stop for a good 10 years straight you are no where near "needing" steroids to make progress as you are not even close to maximizing your natural genetic potential.
all of your problems lie in your diet and training. pick up one of the early books by Tudor Bompa on Periodization

The major side effects of anabolic steroid use include liver tumors, jaundice (yellowish pigmentation of skin, tissues, and body fluids), fluid retention, enlargement of the heart, (a precursor to heart failure), high blood pressure, atherosclerosis or hardening of the arteries, (a precursor to coronary heart disease) elevated cholesterol levels, heart palpitations, heart attack, and finally steroids can impair the kidneys leading to kidney stones and kidney disease. The most common side effects are severe acne and trembling.
Other side effects that are not dangerous:
For men - shrinking of the testicles, reduced sperm count, infertility, baldness, development of breasts.
For women - growth of facial hair, changes in or cessation of the menstrual cycle, enlargement of the clitoris, deepened voice.
For adolescents - growth halted pre maturely through premature skeletal maturation and accelerated pubertal changes.

Yeah its true it will quicken your muscle growth but the side effects will kill you. These effects include harmful changes in cholesterol levels (increased bad cholesterol and decreased good cholesterol), acne, high blood pressure, liver damage, and dangerous changes in the structure of the left ventricle of the heart.
DON'T USE STEROIDS!

harsh voice. megalomania. weak joints. big tities. yellow skin. yellow eyes. it harms the liver. harms the reproductive organs. loss of hair. anxiety. there is a hell of harm it does, you can just type steroid side effects and search for rit on the net. you don't want to gain muscles, and lose yourself man. as to me i train slow ans steady, and it effectively works. just eat well. u can use some protein or dietary supplements to help grow faster

loss of temper your nuts also shrink because your testes is where testosterone is made and steriods is testosterone also when you stop taking them your muscles will shrink i went to school with guys who used them and they are smaller than me now, best to try herbal suppliments, and don`t worry about it it`s you that makes you you and not the size of your muscles
