The good side of steroids. OK, OK, they make you big. No they don’t. Steroids have the effect of giving you fantastic energy. This permanent energy surge allows you to work out four times a day full bore and not get tired. This excessive work out schedule is what gets you big fast.

Track guys are able to run forever at top speed; bike riders never get tired no matter how many hills they climb; hockey players can stay on the ice through three shifts, and so on. But not all bodies are equal. If everyone took steroids, the less talented athletes would still achieve at lesser levels than the good or great ones.

It is also a fact that if you take them under supervision you will not get the side effects everyone is talking about. So what is the stink about? If everybody used steroids under supervision the home runs would pop out of the parks, the football guys will all weigh 300 pounds in high school, and children will be running 10,000 meters in record times. If everybody is taking them there would be no need for testing.
