        Steroid may be taken under strict doctor control, but the most visible effects, aside the ultimate death possibility, is that your body will develop some ugly collateral effects: the skin can appear ruined or bumpy, muscles grow like if they are "inflated" and not naturally lean like they should, normally who take steroids has horrible bulging guts. If steroids are based on human hormones (male or female) there are deformation of the body, like gyno on your pecs (formation of little "boobs" around your nipples), alteration of your facial structure toward masculine or feminine traits and so on… it seem also by an experiment of a bodybuilder that tried steroids for a year, that he can shrink your genitals...

        This is what is reported in many bodybuilding sites (obviously not in those where the steroids are sold).

          You may have to research on the different types of steroids. Some are more harmful than others but it depends on how your body processes it. There are steroid which can be taken orally but these are mostly diuretics. As to the side effects, as mentioned, it really depends on your how your body processes it. I have seen some people develop nice and well-proportioned physiques but the unfortunate ones develop too much of what some of us call "bitch tits" and develop bumps on their chests or other parts of their bodies. It's pretty obvious when someone takes steroids. Those taking steroids are commonly those who aren't patient enough to achieve the results they want. Hence resulting in its use. But if you're one of those who feels even the least bit ashamed of others knowing you are on the drug, then I don't think it's worth the risk. It may give you fast results but to maintain those results is a whole other story. Not to mention just the maintenance of using it might cost you up to 2 times more than the cost of regular supplements.

            or because i don't constantly go to the gym.

            I think inconsistency is a big factor in not getting results. Diet is also very important too!

              I think erich nailed it.  In order to see results you need to be constant in your gym workouts and also your diet.  There's also the chance you're a 'hard gainer' and might not bulk up so easily as other people do.

              I'd say, instead of taking steroids, try to follow your routine and be more consistent.  The steroids might bulk you up, but with all those possible side effects…they seem rather unappealing.

                      Steroids have terrible and unpredictable side effects. If you have bad genetics and train without consistency they won't work anyway.
                      If you wanna improve your physique you should start a period of bulking eating more calories than you consume and go to gym at least 3 times a week lifting weights. After 6-8 months if you want more definition to your gains slowly cut down calories and add cardio to your workout. 😉

                        Yes Genetics play a large role; and Steroids may help you but in the long term they will mess you up. Steroids will change you physically and mentally; you will become short tempered and things that may not have bothered you will; and to top it off you will need to wheen and wax in steroids meaning you can't just start and stop taking them… so if you take them and realize its messing your skin or your mood and you just stop to fix these problems you get new problems because your body won't be able to regulate your hormone levels.

                        so in conclusion: No don't take them. Be more aggressive with your diet. Keep working out as you do.

                          you say you do take steroids but see no result.. are you aware 90% of those sold on the internet or sold by your local dealer are fake?
                          I did took steroids with of course amino acids ( steroids alone wont do anything), I encountered many fakes, but managed to get real prescription. it did worked great, besides it's absolutely terrible for sex: you can fuck for hours, you get powerful and abundant ejaculation(hence it's used by almost all guys in czech porn ( bel ami and such) ).
                          sure it's dangerous, you need to be responsible and read a lot on the subject before trying them out. they are also many different kinds.
                          You also need to take medicine that will counteract annoying side effect but at responsible dosage you shouldn't notice any. But all in all never take what crazy body builders take like schwarzenegger : theses guys are total morons and thats why so many people think steroids are bad. they are indeed bad when used like that, no question asked.

                                  The biggest no-no for me is feeling like a fraud and a phony. I want to feel proud of what I've accomplished, and knowing that I did it without cheating. But then again, where does one draw the line? I drink protein powder. Even though it's more natural than steroid injections, it's still a highly refined product that you would not find anywhere in nature. So I don't condemn people for taking steroids. If they ae happy with their life choices, I'm not gonna tell them how to live their lives.

                                    Look, I see things a bit differently, Taking Steriods isnt the only option you should think about, look into different over the counter products that can help you in bulking and cutting too.

                                    But if you are still keen on taking them, do your research and when you think you have researched enough, DO MORE research. Everyone has their personal opinions on steroids, especially the ones who take them, So if they do tell you which ones they are taking, just keep in mind that it is their personal experience on the steroids they are taking relating to their own body, it might be a different experience for you altogether. Be responsible and know when stop.

                                    I hope you find what works for you.
