Steroid use...

[VooMan]

I remember one guy in my high school. He was 6' 2" tall and skinny as hell. He started working out, and at one point he looked great. Perfectly proportioned, ripped, etc...

Then he went too far. You could tell he was on the juice, as he got HUGE in no time, gaining about 80 pounds in one school year, plus he got the acne, his face got all puffy, and his body basically exploded. All the signs of steroid abuse... He also went from a quiet kid to roid rage. It was bad...

I worked out all through high school and college. I was always very strong for my size, but no matter how hard I worked out I just didn't seem to gain a lot of muscle. All the men in my family were smaller wirey types... It may be tempting to gain a pound of muscle a week on steroids, but the internal damage is unbelievable. Besides the horrific liver damange, your testicles shrink and your hair can fall out. So much for becoming the big manly stud, a lot of guys end up bald and impotent. Probably not the look they were originally going for...
