Thanks for the info.

Then why the ban on steroids? Did someone overreact or were steroids (years ago) really that bad?


Also, are steroids beneficial to a new bodybuilder? That's to say, do I need them at this early stage?

After a seven year lay off I started lifting again at age 30 and went from 145 lbs (after a bout with pnuomonia) to 175 lbs. Since then in 2 years I put on 15-20lbs. The point is with gains like that (30 lbs mass and and 100 lbs added to bench) why do steroids? IMHO steroids are for when the gains stop comming, if at all. Definately not for a novice especially if you're young and still kicking up high levels of test naturally.
Just my opinion, in the end the choice is yours.
