That being said, steroids are not for kids. You should achive some things natuarlly and then think about AAS. If this kid did in fact use while still in high school, he will regret it later in life. Its that simple. Its different for full grown adult males. Personally, as far as i know, im the only guy here who is a professional fighter who has used AAS.
Personally, ive never used them when i fought, or even before i fought. Im speaking for many fighters (you'd be surprised who) that i know that have taken AAS.
They do not help cardio, technique, or skill improvement... It does however help, in strength and size. Thats it, and when you fight at middleweight like i do, its hardly a advantage. I can only be SO much bigger than others at 185lbs...
I merely used them to gain muscle when i took a year off of fighting, and when i wanted to move up a weight class. Its not like wrestling which has many weight classes to compete in. If someone wants to fight MMA, and you weigh 176lbs naturaly like i did, you can only fight at 170lbs, 185lbs, or if you can bring yourself to cut the weight, 155lbs... Thats it, and that was me, i had a hard time fighting guys that walked around at 185 or 190.
So i used AAS to gain about 10lbs the first time. And it helped the size difference. After two fights, i took a year off, and used again. This time i gained another 15lbs and i now walk around at about 205 or 200 and i fight full time at 185.
Honestly guys, i can tell you you want to use AAS in MMA thats fine, but its not like what everyone thinks it is... Again, it does not improve your skills, steroids cant make me land kicks or punches, sink in submissions quicker, or score takedowns, I have to do that. And anyone who says different, doesnt really know what they are talking about...
I hope this sheads some light on the situation.
