Many people resort to hormones at the gym to take shortcuts and see bigger muscles faster. The average human body produces 5 to 10 mg of testosterone per day, which is more than enough for healthy muscle building in the long run. However, when someone starts taking hormones from external sources, their body can take in 50 to 100 times the normal amount, meaning figures reaching 500 or 1000 mg per day. This amount does indeed lead to very rapid muscle growth, but it also opens the door to serious problems such as liver damage, high blood pressure, and cholesterol imbalances. Furthermore, excessive hormone use stops the body's natural testosterone production, which can lead to testicular atrophy, reduced sperm count, and in many cases, infertility. The biggest problem is that it starts with a cycle, and many people can't stop because the body gets used to it and enters a cycle similar to addiction. In short, hormones are not a shortcut; they're a fast track, but their end result is often the loss of your health. 📚 If you need a system to help you start on the right foot, download My free book is available here: 📸 Instagram: bit.ly/3EfaybF 📘 Facebook: bit.ly/4lnxqXl 📩 WhatsApp: bit.ly/3RaRAG7 📚 Download the book: bit.ly/3EeU0k4 📚 Scientific References: Testosterone physiology and regulation in males – Endocrine Reviews – 2018 Health risks of anabolic androgenic steroid use – The Lancet – 2017 Anabolic steroids and cardiovascular risk – Circulation – 2016 Effects of anabolic steroids on male fertility – Human Reproduction Update – 2019 Psychological dependence and abuse of anabolic steroids – Current Neuropharmacology – 2020
