How To Spot A Steroid User

This Is How To Spot A Steroid User Without Fail

The opinions in this article do not reflect the opinions of Generation Iron.

It’s no breaking news when a ripped guy is accused of using steroids. The broscientists undermine the hard work and dedication of every guy who is bigger than them by accusing them of using steroids. You certainly don’t want to fall to their level.

On the other hand, there are numerous fake natties on the internet. They’ll tell you the secret to their gains are their workouts and diet. Don’t get fooled by these liars. There are many signs which spill the beans for drug use.

1. Bloated Gut

This is the biggest spoiler for gear users. Using steroids enlarges every single organ in your body. You can’t spot increase the size of your biceps or chest. If you’re using anabolic drugs, every single organ in your body will grow, including your stomach, ears, and hands.

Look at the bodybuilders competing on stage, and you’ll see what we’re talking about. Enlarged midsections have earned these athletes the name ‘pregnant bodybuilder’ and have exposed them to ridicule on the internet.

2. Insane Vascularity

Ever wondered how some people have road map like vascularity in their forearms? Don’t tell us you think it’s because of a hardcore forearm workout and a low body fat percentage. There is much more happening behind the scenes.

Cutting out water, taking supplements to increase blood flow and pumps can help you with your vascularity. But steroids like Equipoise (EQ) can help you get the vascularity and dryness with minimal effort and sacrifice.

3. Balding Head

Neither is it a coincidence, nor a fashion that most bodybuilders are bald. Steroids like testosterone can increase your natural test levels which can play a major role in hair loss. Using gear for longer durations can amplify hair fall.

Balding due to gear use can be irreversible. In fact, most of the side effects of steroids are nonreversible. If you’re willing to take the plunge and start using steroids, make sure you’re educated about their effects and side effects.

4. Short Temper and Mood Swings

Certain juices like Trenbolone and Dianabol can cause mood swings. Some of these drugs were originally developed for animals like horses, but certain humans thought of using them to enhance their performance.

Steroids can turn you into a rage monster. Once you get on the cycle, it’ll be better for you and the people around you that you spend most of your time alone. Such drugs can prove to be addictive, and it might be hard for you to stop using them.

5. Acne On The Back

You’re playing with your hormones when you inject steroids into your body. Don’t think it won’t have any effects on your body. The most common areas where acne develops are your back and face.

Unlike balding, this side effect of using steroids is curable. Staying off of the juices for a couple of months can cure the acne. It is recommended you take the advice of a professional before you start using anabolic steroids.

6. Syringe Marks On The Body

Arguably, the most common and safe way of using gear is to inject them into your body. There are many oral forms of steroids present on the market but they’re not safe to use. Oral drugs can have a negative effect on your kidneys.

Injecting syringes into the same spot can lead to the formation of spots. Since steroids are foreign objects, your body tried to fight them. This can lead to the formation of syringe wounds which can be painful in some cases.

    • The steriodal compounds generally bind with muscle tissue receptors where % muscle fibres is lacking in males which is upper body regions traps, shoulders, rhomboids. Physiologically just how the human body works powered by neurones in our brain. Lower regions such as legs, glutes we walk everyday so our % in muscle fibres are abundant steriodal compounds will hit that area slower because our brains processes where the anavar, test,HGH hits first.

  • Balding and acne is merely genetic. I know some short tempered guys who never used once.

    Best way is just simply asking their height/weight and bodyfat %. Or their FFMI

    • And the baldness and acne is not with every type of steriod. And the bubble gut comes from the HGH and insuline.

    • Seb Mol yes and no, I mean, do you see the amount of food these guys need to eat just to get fill out on stage? I just did a show and had a gut off stage after stuffing my face with pizza, rice cakes, candy, burger and fries lol and I only weigh 205... I cant imagine the amount of food these guys weighing 260+ need

    • I always think who cares. Who is natural or not. It's everybody's own choice. And if you see what people use when they go out. i think it's better to use steriods.

  • Better question would be at this time ....how to spot a non user of steroids......at this time everybody take juice

  • What cunt wrote this garbage? Some troll that doesn't lift from the misc. board at bodybuilding dot com? Steroids make your organs grow? Maybe growth hormone and slin. Testosterone isn't going to give you pregnant belly, nobody had one before the mid to late 90s

    Get a fucking clue.

    • Yes, your heart is a muscle and it can become enlarged with large amounts of gear and this makes sense considering your heart is a muscle. Anything that puts strain on a muscle will make it grow in order to adapt to the changing conditions it is put under. It's no different for your heart as it is for your legs, arms, chest, back etc.

      As for the natural question, a simple FFMI calculator based on their size and dimensions will end the speculation pretty damn easily.

      If steroids were not demonized and subject to so much stigma then I believe people who claim to be natty would consider being truthful but the pressure of being a "steroid user" in a society that knows absolutely jack shit about the reality of drugs makes stay in the steroid closet because at least then they look better to their peers. Understandable really but to anyone using them and experienced with them, it's just annoying

    • Probably the same guy who wrote the article about how everybody should stop doing barbell exercises lol

    • I agree this article is at best poorly written however, increased estrogen levels in the body can lead to bloating causing the gut to appear bigger.

  • I don't knock anyone for using roids, but don't use roids and say your natural cause then imma call you out.
