Few Questions

**mattford** · 02-05-2012, 02:23 AM

Just had a few questions i wish to be answered. Firstly with steriods how would they affect with body fat would they help to reduce body fat, as fat does not convert to muscle would steriods just increase muscle gain and leave the fat?
Secondly as there are many different types of steriods on the market which would be best for building muscle aswell as toning it?
Lastly what should you watch for when coming off steriods?

Thanks for any feed back

Hey mAte welcome to the board. This is a great place to learn and is full of information on everything you want to know. Steriods are not the key to loosing weight. Diet is the only thing that will help you reach those goals.

YOur to young to be using steriods mate. Here's a post written by Marcus:

Age and aas

In humans your Endocrine system is not fully functional until an average age of 25yrs, although the main development is up to around 21yrs it still fluctuates a little bit up to its fully functional age. There is a risk of permanently damaging your HPTA if you take AAS to young and you could end up with symptoms of andropause and HRT for life. Symptoms could be Limp dick, low libido, depression, low energy, low endurance, erection problems and many more but.......are these the types of symptoms you want to have in your 20's?. Believe me its hard to cope with these in your 40's yet alone in your prime of your life.
