Well in addition to reading his profile. I am also a paramedic, and a physical trainer. When someone takes steroids it simply super accelerates muscle growth. GROWTH, not Hypertrophy which is the recruitment of muscle mass. This is why most steroid users tear muscles. ANYWAY, Steroid users build big bulky water filled muscles. They loos almost like they have been stuck onto a fat person…the muscles arent lean. ALSO a steroid users veins RECEDE into the body. You can obviously see that his veins…are just fine.

OK… a muscle can only grow in two ways. Hypertrophy, which is muscle recruitment, and growth which is the actual growing of the individual cell. The only thing that can cause hypertrophy is muscle exhaustion in the presence of protein and NO glycogen which is what you body stores for energy. So basically when you body gets crushed by a workout it CREATES NEW MUSCLE so that next time it will be stronger. Eventually you want the recruited cells to grow and thats when you start strength training. A nice balance of the two is what you get in the picture above. Now if you use steroids all you do is super accelerate the growth of the tissue that is present.. N HYPERTROPHY HAPPENS! as you muscle SWELL then engulf the surrounding tendons veins and nerves. The fact that you are swelling two few muscle cells to be HUGE…they tear. Or you tendons are smothered and you loose range of motion (like all the meat heads on TV that are so big they cant clap their hands). So big bulky muscle with no veins did artificial ballooning caused by steroids. While natural muscle growth will simply reposition veins as the muscle is recruited under it.

I hope this answered your question

@...Teutonic Logic: oh yeah and online weight loss programs and forums make money by selling you a whole bunch of pills and powers that dont do anything. If you can get a ripped guy to push the product and say it worked for him…then they make MORE MONEY! He refused to push something he didnt use. sorry if i was vague. As a result they torpedoed him and he left because of all the bullshit.
