Hormones are chemical substances produced by glands within the body. Sex hormones are produced by the testicles, ovaries and adrenal glands to manipulate reproduction and sexual identity. Anabolic androgenic steroids are male sex hormones used in supra physiological amounts as performance enhancing drugs in sports and exercise. They increase protein synthesis and cross-bind to glucocorticoids – attracting athletes seeking further gains in muscle mass and faster recovery times. Estrogen, a female sex hormone, also becomes elevated while administering AAS due to an interaction with aromatase, an enzyme that converts androgens (derivatives of testosterone) into estrogens. Many male bodybuilders combat this with anti-aromatase medications, in addition to compounds that compete at the estrogen receptor. Anti-estrogenic drugs like Nolvadex (tamoxifen) and Arimidex (anastrozole) are frequently used to avoid fluid retention, fat gain or gynecomastia, a condition resulting in enlargement or tenderness of breasts or nipples. However, some estrogen does serve benefit in the male’s system – trying to eliminate it from the body can eradicate these desirable traits. Read More »

These forums are popular due to the widespread and secretive nature of steroid use in competitive sports and physical exhibition. Unfortunately, many trainees can not seek advice from their physician for fear of prosecution.

The online message boards provide users a place to discuss the safe and productive use of performance enhancing drugs. The right to remain anonymous is retained with the ability to post using an indistinguishable user name. However, members must be careful how they format questions – if they expect quality advice. Countless questions fail to provide enough information to obtain quality responses from experienced members.
