Steroids and athletic performance
I just finished a cycle of Finaplix that I took because I am a senior on a college baseball team. I understand that a lot of guys are going to get on here and say that the juice doesn't help athletic performance and I also realize that a lot of guys will say that it does help. It has not helped me personally. I am kind of frustrated by this because I like being big and strong but I took the juice just for baseball. I am about to begin a cycle of Winstrol which will be the last cycle I ever do in my life. I hope I have better results from this. Any comments both ways would be appreciated. Thank you.

I'm sure we can help put a better cycle, or give some sound advice on what you could do to enhance your athletic performance.

Dont mean to disagree with yall fellas, but AS has not shown to help in athletic performance. It WILL get the individual stronger and bigger, but there is no direct link to sports performance being enhanced due to AS. Some may say that by getting stronger you automatically become better, but that has not always been the case and its only an oppinion. --BigBoy21

give me a break- unless your chosen sport is chess; then an increase in strength and stamina is only going to help your game.. unless you are one of those really uncoordinated people who cant walk and chew bubble gum- then youre just out of luck...

i agree with zx... by adding muscle you will gain endurance and speed which in all sports i can think of except nascar (if you consider that) and horseback riding where being the littlest byatch out there is an advatage then i think that adding muscle is definitly going to help you out.... if not in the strngth aspect then you will have more muscular endurance, which will help.... either way AS do give you an edge in sports.. why do you think they are banned in all sports? because of the advantage they bring the user...

When I use AS, I do notice more stamina nad indurance in Basketball,sex-life ect..., But looking at data,( so my books claim ), that studies on AS users compared to placebo controlled group, there was no difference in the individuals who used AS that made them "better" in the sport. But I guess this could go either way, because look at Barry bonds, Johnson, ect..., they are the worlds best and used AS, ( not positive about Bonds yet ) Maybe my books are just trying to scare the readers to not use AS ?? Well, np25 who posted this is a good example, didnt get better game. Everyone is different I guess---Peace--BigBoy21

For those out there that still believe that increased muscle doesn't benefit athletic performance.....I don't know what to say. You can't possibly be that naive. Your particular sport-specific skills are something you need to hone, regardless of AAS usage, but increased strength and speed are an asset to any sport that deserves to be called a sport. I've completely lost faith in the public school system if there really are people out there that are this oblivious to the obvious.

If that were the case...there wouldn't be such a widespread abuse of AAS in ALL sports.
AAS IMPROVE ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY.

i think it is the point of a lot of media out there to persuade people that steroids are no good and will not help you... it just doesn;t make sense though... granted as chevy pointed out if you suck you suck there is nothing you can take to make u better, BUt if u do have the ability then it is almost certain AS will help you get better!!!

They can't ethically do studies where subjects are using the "high" doses that are typically used.

Yeah, your right that "If u suck then u suck"... A person should not expect to get better at their sport while useing AS if they already suck. you dont see arnold trying to play basketball just because he is bigger, maybe thats a bad example hehe, But If you train for your sport while on AS might and most likely will help. Like I said, I did notice it, but not everyone will.

Actually my friends a perfect examples, they use AS and still way more than me cant hang with me playin ball, so IMOP you would have to train for the specific sport while on AS to get "better".

winny alone is a really bad idea, especially if you pitch. it dries out the joints and weakens ligaments and tendons, makings you extreemly injury prone

What does an "increase in athletic performance" mean? Do I get better hand eye coordination. Probably wont help that, so not good for golf or ping pong players. Will I get stronger. Yes, probably good for **** near every other sport including tennis. I think the point here is if you take AAS and you become stronger and faster and heavier you are probably more effective at whatever your sport is. If I am a basket ball player will my free throws get better...probably not and I think that is how the idiots that write articles stating that AAS do not increase athletic performance are measuring it. It's all in the way you set up the testing criteria. The other thing is that effective steroid use entails many cycles over time. There is no way that they can measure this because there are to many variables with the athlete. I may not shoot better free throws because of AAS use, but I will kick your ass up and down the basketball court after a few cycles!!!!! Just dont let me shoot the ball while I am on a cycle because I will probably miss the back board.

actually, they say that hand eye does improve a bit.not a whole lot, but enough to get a couple more hits...........Barry Bonds, and Jason Giambi don't hit homeruns because they are huge, they do because they are naturals, but the AAS helps them eith hand eye, focus, and aggresiveness......I guess ya'll can take what ya want form it

I see it this way, steroids are enhancers. It will enhance whichever training you go through. If your training is an effective mass building routine, it will give you more mass gains than if you were natural. Same with athleticism, if you train optimally for speed you'll get faster on a cycle, period.
However if your training routine, as well as every other parameters, aren't aimed specifically toward your goals, chances are you'll be very disappointed.
That's why I think a lot of guys should get smarter and research about training related to their specific goals first, before jumping on AAS.
