Health articles are not only sought after by professional athletes.
Gym visitors who engage at an amateur level, in pursuit of the "dream body," also often turn their attention to various pharmaceutical aids due to a lack of experience or perhaps knowledge of the use of these group drugs, which can carry some risks for health.
This brief note aims to help make the use of androgenic anabolic steroids safer, however, this is far from all you should know before using AAS.
How to Make Your Course Safer
Below are several tips and recommendations that will help make the use of sports pharmacology safer.
First Rule
Before starting to take any agent, remember whether you have a genetic predisposition to certain diseases (diabetes, blood viscosity).
If so, appropriately adjust the list of used agents.
Second Rule
Regularly undergo medical examinations or at least periodically take the necessary tests. The list of these tests is quite simple:
- tests for hormones luteinizing hormone, total testosterone, SHBG, estradiol, cortisol, prolactin; an IGF-1 analysis – somatomedin C is very desirable;
- liver tests;
- lipid profile: the ratio of "bad" and "good" cholesterol during the "course" tends to change for the worse;
- general clinical blood test – you should be interested in the indicators of blood viscosity.
Third Rule
Learn as much as possible about what you are going to take. Sometimes changes need to be made on the fly when there is simply no one to consult.
Fourth Rule
Keep a sufficiently low percentage of body fat – any "course" of AAS is more effective if your fat layer is best described as "modest."
Fifth Rule
Reduce alcohol consumption – at least during the active phase of the "course". Beer should be excluded entirely. As well as other "cheering" and "stress-relieving" means.
Sixth Rule
Carefully monitor the injection sites. Take action at the slightest hint of inflammation. Do not make injections into a place where the needle of the syringe enters with difficulty.
Seventh Rule
During the active phase of the "course", you usually increase protein consumption. And protein has some dehydrating effect – therefore, drink as much water as possible.
Eighth Rule
Do not neglect aerobic exercise.
