Anabolic Steroids Can Still Provide an Edge Even After Doping has Ceased

Steroids are synthetic hormones that are made from the hormone testosterone. Anabolic steroids are beneficial for athletes interested in building muscle strength over muscle endurance. Researches studying former power lifters who used steroids determined that even after years of not taking steroids or lifting, muscle fiber intensity and and the number of nuclei per muscle fiber were still comparable to athletes undergoing current high-intensity strength training. If the former power lifters were to resume lifting, researchers hypthosize that increased muscle nuclei will lead to greater protein synthesis and faster gains of muscle mass. Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens must be thrilled to hear this!! http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/09/080925072430.htm
