Does the use of steroids actually reduce the risk of injury or is this question irrelevant.......you take it,you get stronger,you get stronger-less risk??

some roids can get you stronger then your joints/ligs allow you to really be, causing injury. especially if you are younger. Some lube joints (deca) which help out quite a bit.....yea, you can go on and on..........
The opposite actually, you're at a greater risk for injury. Look at how many pro's you hear off tearing a bi, tri, pec etc. Always make sure you use correct form and that helps to minimize the problem.
Warning signs for injury will be much less apparent while using gear. Also, when "on" your muscles grow way faster than tendons.
Having torn off my pec, I'd say injury risk goes up IF you let your sudden strength make you do foolish things. Listen to your body. Pain usually means something is wrong. I wish I had listened.
Thanks guys. I'll watch my form, and try to keep the "maniac" locked away during workouts!
