The topic of steroids provides a very controversial conversation. What do you yourself think about them? Most see these drugs as a simple enhancement, while others view them as an unfair advantage. Not only does this create controversy to the public eye, but in the athletic world, this causes much conflict. Steroids, otherwise known as PEDs (performing enhancement drugs), come in various forms and work around different types of the body.

The answer to this is simple: it is literally impossible to pick up that much weight through just simply lifting and working out. To bodybuilders, this is the price of competing. This means putting your full health at risk, both mentally and physically. Another difference between pro athletes and pro bodybuilders is that usually, a majority of the time, pro athletes are dealing with contact. The effects steroids have on the body added in with contact, is a worse mix then just someone using steroids. I am not saying that nothing severe can happen to someone who only uses steroids and doesn’t deal with contact, but
