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!!
