Steroid use is becoming an increasingly popular practice in the fitness industry around the world, including not only professional athletes but also amateurs and beginners. However, serious problems arise when people with little knowledge start using steroids without proper help and think that they know everything. In this article, we will talk about the motivation, risks and decision making that should underlie the use of steroids by non-professional people who are involved in fitness at gyms or other places. 

Main goal for steroid use in recreational fitness may be related to aesthetics, such as the desire to have a muscular and well-conditioned body in accordance with societal standards of beauty. Steroids are seen as a means of rapid muscle growth and improving muscle shape. Also, some people seek to improve their strength, endurance and overall physical performance to excel in their workouts or recreational activities such as sports or hobbies. Unrealistic expectations, a competitive mentality, and misinformation about the benefits of steroids can also drive motivation to use them for recreational fitness.

Dangers and potential adverse health effects: 

Physical risks: heart and circulatory system problems such as high blood pressure and heart disease, hormone imbalance that can lead to decreased testicular function and infertility, liver damage or malfunction, lipid metabolism disorders, endocrine system problems, acne and skin problems, and others; 

Psychological risks: possible mood swings, increased aggression with the use of certain drugs, and the use of steroids. It is crucial for steroid users to recognize and accept these risks, prioritize their health, and seek professional help to reduce the potential harms of steroid use. 

It is important to be well informed about the risks, potential health effects, and other factors associated with steroid use. Seeking accurate and reliable information from reputable sources, such as medical professionals, will help provide a foundation for informed decision making.

Encourage informed choice: Making responsible decisions involves assessing one's own motives and expectations, setting realistic goals, and considering long-term consequences for health and well-being. In addition, understanding alternative approaches to achieving fitness goals, such as natural exercise methods and proper nutrition, at least temporarily until sufficient fitness is achieved and the body is prepared for more effective steroid use, can help individuals make choices that prioritize their overall health and minimize potential risks. 

Steroid use by non-recreational fitness individuals has different motivations, risks, and other considerations that need to be taken into account. While some people may be seduced by the promise of faster results, it is important to consider the potential health risks and all the complexities associated with steroid use. Preferring education, responsible decision-making, and seeking professional help when necessary allows individuals to achieve their fitness goals with a focus on long-term health and well-being, without succumbing to the quick fixes and unrealistic expectations associated with intense cycles or substance abuse in the initial stages of the fitness journey. 

Ultimately, the real conclusion is that bodybuilding takes a lot of time, dedication and patience. One needs to be aware that the physical fitness achieved through steroid abuse is temporary and the real price you pay is not only the cost of the steroids you purchase, but also your health. Alternatives: Explore natural methods of achieving your fitness goals, such as proper nutrition and effective workouts, before resorting to steroids. Building a solid foundation of fitness and optimizing your body's natural capabilities should be a priority.

The problem with back training is that we cannot see the muscles being trained, which often leads to their underdevelopment. Therefore, success in back development depends on how well we can make the connection between the muscles and the mind.

To strengthen the back, it is important to keep it in a strong position to minimize the risk of injury. This position is similar to when we lift a heavy box off the ground. Do not slouch forward and do not arch your back back too much. Keep your back straight, chest out and shoulders back.

Practicing the scapulae movement daily will help hone this technique.

Here are some exercises that will help:

Shoulder Training:

• Drop Sets

• Rest Pause Training

• Giant Sets

Shoulder Strengthening:

• Side Dumbbell Laterals

• Dumbbell Shoulder Press

• Rear Dumbbell Laterals

• Military Press Above The Head

• Front Dumbbell Raises

• 45 Degree Bench One Arm Side Laterals

Strengthen your back:

• T-Bar Rowing

• Seated Cable Rowing

• One Arm Cable Rowing

• Bent over Barbell and Dumbbell Rows

• Bent over Shrugs

Widen your back:

• Chin-Ups

• Cable Pull Downs

• Cable Pull Down Shrugs

One of the main reasons many athletes are afraid to use injectable anabolic drugs such as testosterone is the painfulness of the process. They fear the pain that comes with intramuscular injections, as well as post injection discomfort (PIP). However, there is a way to make the injections almost painless. If you've done peptide injections before, you know that subcutaneous injections are painless when done correctly.

Similarly, anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) can also be injected subcutaneously, but require certain rules to be followed.

Intramuscular injections allow for the injection of a larger volume of oil that contains the steroid. For example, 1 ml or even more of oil can easily be injected into the buttocks, but this amount cannot be injected subcutaneously.

However, if you inject a large amount of oil subcutaneously, you will see a noticeable bulging sac on your abdomen, which is not only unaesthetic (especially if you have a thin build), but also uncomfortable and can cause pain.

Subcutaneous injections of AAS take longer to be absorbed by the body compared to intramuscular injections. Therefore, it may take a few days for the oil sac to shrink after the injection and form a new one before the next injection.

The solution is to inject smaller amounts of AAS, but to do so more frequently and in different parts of the lower abdomen.

For example, instead of injecting 250 mg of AAS intramuscularly every 5 days, you can inject 50 mg subcutaneously daily or 100 mg every other day. It is important not to exceed 0.5 mL per subcutaneous injection.

Another reason to use a smaller amount of the drug per injection is that the insulin needles used for subcutaneous injections are very thin. This means that the oil slowly penetrates through the needle, and you will need patience during the injection. You need to insert the needle into your belly fat and wait up to 30 seconds for the oil to pass through the needle and into your body.

You should also consider that the absorption time of a subcutaneously injected drug is slow. This means that the time it takes for the drug to begin to take effect, accumulate in the body, and show its effects is longer.

Overall, intramuscular injections remain preferable and convenient, but using subcutaneous injections can help overcome the fear of injections, especially if you are only using testosterone.
