Going Gyno.

One it comes to bodybuilding there’s no doubt that the ultimate goal is to attain your best possible physique. Whether you’re a skinny and that find it hard to pack on muscle or overweight and can’t seem to shed your body fat, bodybuilding is all about the pursuit of perfection and breaking through the road blocks that bar you from success.

Of course getting to your shredded best isn’t exactly the simplest of tasks. It takes years and years to get into the kind of shape of someone who steps onto a posing stage. Along the way, whether you’re looking to become a pro or not, you’ll be faced with the question: should you use testosterone boosters or do everything naturally? Whether or not you choose to use anabolics and testosterone boosters, you should understand the potential consequences of doing so.

Some people may defend steroids and claim that they are as safe as taking your average vitamin. The truth of the matter is, however, that if you’re taking a massive amount of testosterone or anabolic boosters then you’ll have to face the music. What exactly are we talking about here? Well, one major side effect of using boosters is Gynecomastia or gyno for short. It’s a side effect of using a tremendous amount of anabolic substances, but can also occur naturally in some men. But very often it’s those that choose to abuse steroids in the hopes of improving their bodies that end up suffering from this pretty embarrassing disorder.

It can be a tough thing trying to become your shredded best. Some people need to get a boost to get to a certain level, there’s no doubt. But when you choose to abuse a substance in the hopes of seeing improvement, you’re taking your health into your own hands and rolling the dice. It’s something that experienced bodybuilders agree with. Take a listen to former IFBB bodybuilder Lee Priest speak on the subject.
