What happens to the muscles after the cessation of anabolic steroids?
March 7th, 2010 | by admin |Don’t tell me they get smaller, you get weaker, etc….I know this.
I’m looking for information from a reliable source that describes this concept in more detail.
Just to clear things up, I’m not using steroids, nor am I considering them. I’m developing a case study and just looking for some specific numbers as far as the decrease in strength or lean muscle mass after steroid use.
if you’ve used steroids and stopped, you should be taking something to block estrogen and bring the body’s testosterone production back up, as well as milk thistle or something to protect your liver.
just look at all the bodybuilding sites out there. read from many sources and form an amalgam of the opinions in your head. that’s the best information there is out there, sad as that is. if you want to know about biochemistry and all that, you may as well just start at wikipedia and start looking up terms… they usually have some decent links to more specialized sites. but in the end, the people who are testing steroids are the bodybuilders, so if anyone knows, it’s them.
if you haven’t started steroids, i would advise against them until you’ve seen what you can get from just protein, proper diet, maybe creatine, A-AKG and hard work, maybe some other safe supplements. You want to have everything else in order before you invest some of your future health in a quick muscular gain.

Keep working out but they will still get smaller but who cares too much muscle isn’t attractive anyway!

Dont know to much about it but im sure you can find the info you want at http://www.bodybuilding.com. From what i know though not much happens. if you continue to lift then youll maintain most of the mass you got. Yuo do lose mass though when you come off of them but its probly not enough to be concerned about. If your thinkin about useing them i wouldnt. they cause a lot of long term health problems.
