Side Effects of Steroids Pt. 1

There are many harmful side effects to taking steroids. Here are some possible side effects
. When you inject yourself with steroids you are adding extra hormones into your body. When you have too many hormones your body will stop producing it because you have an excess of it so when you stop using steroids you wont be able to produce it the same as you did before.
. Taking steroids your cholesterol rises. Your HDL cholesterol which is your good cholesterol lowers which means that your arteries are at risk.
. Males can begin to grow female breast tissues because some of the testosterone turns into estrogen. This can be
. You can also get some serious acne. This may not be a problem for some people and can be preventable by cleaning body and/or taking a particular steroid.
. Roid rage is also another side effect to taking steroids. This means extreme aggressiveness and crazy violence, but this does not happen to all steroid users.
. Baldness can occur in a faster rate if you have a possiblity of being bald when you are older. You can tell if you are going to be bald by looking at the family from your mothers side like your grandfather if he is bald you are most likely gonna be bald.
. It has also been shown that it can lead to cardiovascular issues. Which is very serious because your heart is the most important part of the body.

Chest and Triceps

I usually dont work out chest and triceps on the same day because they are such huge muscles on your body that I think it is too much for your body to handle and recover from. The only thing is that most chest workouts work your triceps out a little. This may contradict with my last post of saying that you should work out back then bis because some people say then why dont you work out chest then triceps. The reason why I think this is because triceps are a lot bigger than your biceps and there is more muscles that make up the triceps so you have more to workout compared to biceps and back. So it would be first of all a really long workout and possible I think too much for your body. My recommendation is split these muscles into different days and work it out with another muscle. Also I have learned recently that benching with a bar works obviously your chest, but it also works out your triceps a lot. I would recommend benching with dumbbells because it works your chest a lot more than benching. You can still bench with a bar just try to focus on doing it with dumbbells.

Biceps and Back

These are two parts of the body that you can work out together on the same day I would recommend working out the back first and then going to biceps. This is because for most back workouts you use your biceps which would be good because it would be like a pre-workout for that muscle so they are warmed up for when you work them out. A way that you can workout your biceps and back which I think is the best workout would be doing pull ups. Depending on how you do your pull ups they are great exercises for your back and biceps. For some people pull ups are difficult and some people are ignorant and get it in their mind that they cant do a pull up, but like everything else it takes time. To help yourself be able to eventually do pull ups what you need to do is have a spotter. While you do your pull ups you are going to cross your legs and your spotter is going to hold them from underneath and help you by pushing you up when you need help. The only thing is that you have to make sure your spotter does not help you too much because then your not really helping yourself. Try to do 3 sets of 10 or something you feel comfortable doing, but that pushes you to work.

Technique > Strength

This is something many people do not know about sports. It is not all about how strong your legs are for soccer, how strong you are for wrestling, or how strong your forearms are for tennis. Although these things help tremendously, it is not the most important thing. Sports are all about technique! If your technique is the best in the world you should be able to be victorious in every sport. For example wrestling you may be matched up with someone who is ten times stronger than you, but if you know what to do in every situation you should be able to beat that person. A person who is just strength but no technique cannot beat anyone except the people that do not know anything. I am not saying that strength is unnecessary, but I am saying that people should worry more about technique than getting stronger. I suggest working as hard as you can in practices and learning all the technique you can. Then on your free time work out occasionally. Do not prefer to work out over practicing! Never think that your technique is perfect because it never is. You always have to work on it and when you think you have it perfect look at yourself and figure out how you can make it better.

Surviving and Overachieving

There is a huge difference between surviving and overachieving! This is usually for people in sports and when you are in a sport you want to be an overachiever. A survivor is someone who does the bare minimum in the practices and just tries to survive the practice. They do not work hard therefor not helping themselves get better. I have to admit I have been a survivor in a couple of practices, but I regret it. When your a survivor you practice as if you dont even wanna be there. This is terrible because how are you gonna get better at the sport if you do not wanna be there. My reccomendation is when you are doing a sport dont be a survivor because you are hurting your team, yourself, and you are just wasting your time. An overachiever is someone who battles through practice. Someone who pushes themself to the limit to get better. Someone who ask questions on how to get better. Someone who tries their hardest even when the coach isn't looking. The overachievers are the ones that become better at the sport and the ones that learn more in a day than the survivors do in a week. The overachiever is something everyone wants to be. This is because lets say you are the best at you position but you start practicing like a survivor. Then you notice there is someone working their butts off and you are getting worse. Then eventually the overachiever may end up taking your spot.

Working Out Lower Back

Many people do not even knew that you can work out your lower back. Some don't even know you have muscles there. Lower back is very important to work out especially for sports. This is because it is part of your core which also consists of your abdomens. Having a strong core will help you get stronger, get better form, and perform well in sports. You use your core in almost every work out even though you probably don't even notice it. That is why you must get it stronger to help your form get better so that you can get stronger. When your core is strong you will do better in sports because you have more power and balance. One of the best work outs you can do for your lower back is deadlifts. This is a great lower back workout. The only problem with it is that many people may do it incorrectly and can get an injury in their back. What I recommend is to deadlift at a gym in front of a mirror to make sure your posture is correct. Watch the video to know what correct form looks like and try to get in the same position. Remember flat back, toes pointing straight forward not facing inward or outward, and look straight ahead.
