Agreed. I was wondering, is it possible to create a dependency on steroids either physiologically or psychologically? I wouldn't necessarily class myself as against steroids, my only concern is the mindset I would be in to feel that it was more important to do a workout than to let my body heal properly. Now it is likely that people with addictive personalities would be well suited for the gym as they would have more ambition. Hence the reason I'm not anti steroids, however I'm only questioning whether I would partake in it.

To be truthful I feel the same way about any recreational drug including alcohol. You weigh up (pun not intended) the side effects against what you aim to achieve and base your decision on that.

Still, I've been looking into Creatine and that might be the way to go!
