One thing I don't understand about steroids…do they allow a muscle mass not possible through standard conditioning, or do they just get you to that level faster? I guess what I mean is, if you go off steroids after your bulked out, do you loose that mass, or can you continue to work to keep it up?

if im not mistaken, i think steroids helps the muscles repair themselves faster so that you have a faster recovery time. that allows you to be able to lift more and see the results faster. someone correct me if im wrong or add on to this...

Steroids will increase the total muscle mass you can have as well as let you increase it faster. If you're on steriods and weigh 220, when you go off you'll lose a lot of that muscle mass. Steroids allow muscle mass that's not possible with just training.

and healing is a major factor also...in the case of bonds, as a possible example...
you age, your joints and muscle break down more easily and take longer to heal...you go on steroids and you heal more quickly and can play longer, harder and later in life...you go off steroids and a knee doesn't heal and you miss a year of baseball...without steroid testing bonds would have played much more of last year as he may not have hurt his knee, or not as badly, or it would have healed much more quickly... steroids are a great thing in medicene...but not something to take everyday except for extreme asthma g crazy is not a rare human condition everything is food if you chew hard enough |

Also, a lot of times guys on the juice will literally have their muscle rip off of the bone. In Nomar Garciapara's case, this was true (though there is no proof of actual steroid use in his case, it is pretty obvious that he was or is a user).
What happens is your bones are not capable of supporting the incredible amount of muscle mass that is on top of them, so, the muscle outlives the bone's ability to support it and then breaks away. A guy in my gym ripped his pecs right off of the bone. The muscle just curled up and came unhinged, so to speak. Needless to say, the guy had to be rushed to the hospital and was in a terrible amount of pain. Stories like those will keep people away.
