The Man with the Plan
The use of anabolic-androgenic steroids has gained widespread attention
because of its use in the sporting arena, with high profile sporting identities testing
positive to one or more banned anabolic substance. In addition, links have been
made between the illicit use of these compounds with aggressive and often violent
behaviour in animals (Rejevski, Brubaker, Herb, Kaplan & Korituik, 1988) and
humans (Yates, Perry & Murray, 1992; Corrigan, 1996). With the growing
attention of the Australian media and reports from the United States and the
United Kingdom, interest in and use of these substances within Australia is
becoming more widespread and not restricted to athletes. The present study has
sought to address the paucity of research into anabolic-androgenic steroid use in
Australia by examining the patterns and correlates of anabolic-androgenic steroid
use by a variety of groups in the community.

Steroid cycle structure :.

It is a known reality that drug use exists in sports, as well as within the general non-competitive populace. Today, steroid use greatly involves three classes of people: those looking to boost athletic performance, those simply wishing to alter their body composition for a more muscular and lean physique and older men in search of youthful energy and quality of life. Other than the infinite protocols used for periods of testosterone replacement therapy in the later group, brief periods of anabolic-androgenic steroids are typically outlined for maximal muscle gain with minimal risks.
Androgens, like testosterone, have been researched and applied in clinical settings for over 50 years; however, steroid use for performance enhancement is a tabooed subject today. The Anabolic Steroid Control Act of 1990 added anabolic steroids to the federal schedule of controlled substances, thereby criminalizing their non-medical use by those seeking muscle growth for athletic or cosmetic enhancement. Under this act, steroids were placed in the same legal class as barbiturates and LSD. Since its conception, medical professionals have been worried about being labeled as common drug dealers when dispensing prescriptions for testosterone and its many derivatives.
One major reason for labeling them as a forbidden fruit was the threat to fair sports***8217; competition. Many feel that steroid use creates an unfair advantage with unreasonable health risks for athletes. However, the fine line of ethics is blurred when trying to define what is fair and not fair; access to top coaches, rare personal genetics, top-notch training facilities ***8211; all can be labeled unfair to those without equal admission. Many of the inflated health risks have been discarded through proper medical research; as well as personal use and documentation by athletes themselves. Used properly and within certain dose and duration guidelines, anabolic steroids have shown to present many desired affects with minimal risk. Conversely, many over-the-counter products have lead to more health dangers and instances of reckless abuse.
So how are athletes employing these powerful anabolic messengers, safely and effectively? The following are common steroid cycle planning methods used by those looking for a performance edge.
