Why Say No to Doping

.

And "the cancer of sport is the ordeal of an unconscious athlete, the death of an ideal, of a creed forced to kneel before this aberration.

This is DOPING! it is the simple beginning of an end.

, natural hormone produced by our body, responsible for the growth of muscle mass and more.

A man produces 4 to 9 mg per day, compared to 0.15 - 0.4 mg for women (this explains why a woman absolutely cannot gain a lot of muscle mass).

These drugs are commonly used to treat diseases, such as osteoporosis, AIDS and others.

The positive (in case of serious pathologies) and negative effects of taking one or more of them have been tested and considered "safe" by the medical environment, provided that they are taken at therapeutic doses.

The problem arises when athletes who use these substances do not have any type of pathology and take them in doses clearly superior to the therapeutic ones.

Few are the people who, having taken this path, know what they are facing.

Most of the time, in fact, most of the guys who approach bodybuilding in an amateur way after a few months have an incredibly huge and defined physique, benefits certainly given by anabolics! But if you ask a guy what he uses, how he uses it and how often, you get confused and inaccurate answers.

Many trainers-instructors, well educated on chemical substances, spread only the news regarding the positive effects of these substances, working on the ignorance and good faith of the athlete to induce him to accept and to convince himself that only with the use of these substances he can achieve noteworthy results.

In reality, the "traditional" image of the Bodybuilder with those enormous muscle masses only appeals to a few enthusiasts in the sector. How often do we fall into one of the many clichés that devour our discipline, such as: "doing bodybuilder makes you impotent", "I don't I want to get so big "," muscles hinder movement "etc.

the one who uses huge amounts of anabolics! We natural bodybuilders, thanks to a short and intense workout and a healthy diet, naturally raise testosterone levels, having the opposite effect of impotence.

Becoming a 100 kg bodybuilder with remarkable definition is almost always impossible except with the use of drugs. By treating the body, on the other hand, with proper training and good nutrition, one remains within the parameters of a pleasant harmony.

The instructors who do streching or who recommend it to one of their students can be counted on the fingers of the hands. This is the main reason why they are not very elastic and if a mass of 100 kg and more is added to this, it ends up worsening the situation.
It must be said that we natural with our weight and our physiological muscle masses, with an appropriate training, can afford to do splits or other without having any problem.

Therefore, depending on the quantity, duration and use of anabolics, there will be different side effects. Genetic characteristics also play an important role, in fact there are bodybuilders who have been abusing drugs for more than thirty years without any apparent harmful consequence. while there are others that have been ruined with simple cycles of two or three months.

Among the milder effects are: hair loss, increased hair, thickening of the voice, gynecomastia (formation of real breasts), easy irritability and aggression in social and family relationships, all reversible phenomena at the end of the "cycle. ".

While among the more serious side effects there are: a greater risk of cardiovascular diseases as these drugs, even in small doses, lower the levels of good cholesterol (HDL) and make the blood thicker; although in a few cases anabolics can cause tumors; their use, in the long run, induces a reduction in the volume of the testicles and a decrease in androgens which will lead in the second place to probable sterility; the volume of the prostate increases, with probable risk of the formation of a carcinoma (fatal and painful, this disease is not caused by itself by anabolics, but its development is accelerated by them).

For the woman, the side effects are even greater. In fact, the difference between the sexes lies in the quantity of androgenic hormones produced (testosterone) which highlight their peculiarities (hair, more pronounced tone of voice, greater muscle mass, clitoral hypertrophy, lower percentage of fat, etc.).

So when the woman takes the anabolics she turns into a "man" and has all the characteristics: the menstrual cycle is interrupted, the voice takes on lower tones, increases sexual desire and also increases the size of the clitoris. All these phenomena tend to be irreversible even at the end of the cycle.
