Gym rats use the most steriods
Categories: Diet & Weight Loss, Fitness
Think steroid-user and what's the first image that pops into your head? Probably some kind of athlete looking to get an edge over the competition right? But according to a recent survey of over 2,000 confessed steriod users the majority are not professional athletes, they're simply guys looking for better personal results in the gym.Now it seems these steroid-using "gym rats" are more responsible about it than some other groups (the majority are aware of potential side-effects and get blood work done regularly), but it's important to realize that using steroids without a doctor's prescription is not a good idea. Hopefully having a better idea of who the biggest steroid-using group is will help experts better educate and reduce harmful side-effects.

You can get better results at the gym using good nutrition. Focus on post-workout recovery. For optimal recovery, it is important to maximize glycogen stores in muscles and amino acids to facilitate tissue repair and avoid muscle pain. And because exercise breaks down muscle proteins for energy, consuming protein after your workout is essential to building muscle mass and strength. Try a nutritional product that is proven to substantially increase glycogen levels and muscle protein synthesis, such as this one: http://www.shaklee.net/good_health/product/20306
