| steroid cycle book: Bodybuilding, Drugs and Risk Lee Monaghan, 2002-01-04 Current popular interest in bodies, fitness, sport and active lifestyles, has made bodybuilding more visible and acceptable within mainstream society than ever before. However, the association between bodybuilding, drugs and risk has contributed to a negative image of an activity which many people find puzzling. Using data obtained from participant observation and interviews, this book explores bodybuilding subculture from the perspective of the bodybuilder. It looks at: * How bodybuilders try to maintain competent social identities * How they manage the risks of using steroids and other physique-enhancing drugs * How they understand the alleged steroid-violence link * How they 'see' the muscular body. Through systematic exploration it becomes apparent that previous attempts to explain bodybuilding in terms of 'masculinity-in-crisis' or gender insecurity are open to question. Different and valuable insights into what sustains and legitimizes potentially dangerous drug-taking activities are provided by this detailed picture of a huge underground subculture. |

| steroid cycle book: America on Steroids Thomas O'Connor, 2018-01-29 The author describes the burgeoning public health crisis evident in the increasing use of anabolic steroids (AAS) by non-athletes. He compares this phase of the AAS crisis to that of the opioid crisis several years ago when all the signs of crisis were apparent, but overlooked and unaddressed. He points out that currently at least 4 million men, women and teens are using AAS, solely for cosmetic reasons and uninformed of their dangers. The author, Dr. Thomas O'Connor, a board certified internist with a sub-specialty in men's health and anabolic steroid recovery, describes the physiological and psychological factors contributing to AAS addiction by 15-30% of users. He warns of the many serious AAS-related short and long-term medical issues-- including the hallmark effect, Anabolic steroid-induced hypogonadism (ASIH) which every user will experience, and from which some users will never recover. This physician-athlete who has gained the trust of the powerlifting world through his articles in major men's health and wellness publications, including the encyclopedic Anabolics by William LLewellen, describes safe and effective medical protocols which support AAS cessation and recovery by managing the difficult and often hazardous withdrawal phase. Analyzing the demographic, political and psychosocial factors influencing the increase in use of anabolic steroids, Dr. O'Connor challenges the media and professional and Olympic sports to be more responsive and responsible in addressing this crisis. His message to governmental agencies is that AAS use should be addressed as a public health issue rather than primarily a law enforcement issue. |

| steroid cycle book: Death in the Locker Room Bob Goldman, 1987 Drug abuse in sports is not a new phenomenon. It has been prevalent for many years and has been a significant threat to clean, fair competition. Public attention and media exposure has brought what was once a behind-the-scenes problem into the open. The tragic, untimely deaths of superb athletes has brought this taboo issue into sharper focus, and has made the general public gradually aware of the dangers of anabolic steroids and their alarming impact on the sports arena and society in general. Although initially confined to weightlifters and bodybuilders, anabolic steroid use and substance abuse has spread to virtually all areas of competition. The insidious nature of anabolic steroids is that their side effects are not as immediately evident as with recreational drugs. Thus the true long-term results are not recognized for the dangers they present, both physically and psychologically. These very accessible and addictive drugs, combined with the additive or sport-performance enhancement of 'ergogenic' drugs, present an ominous threat to our youth, having the potential to turn them into walking time bombs. This book documents and discusses the health aspects and ethical concerns surrounding this issue. -- from Foreword. |

| steroid cycle book: The Life Cycle of the Corpus Luteum Rina Meidan, 2016-11-02 This book describes the life cycle of a unique endocrine gland that is absolutely essential for the establishment and maintenance of pregnancy in all mammalian species. The corpus luteum is unique because it is formed and destroyed every (non-fertile) reproductive cycle. When fertilization occurs, the corpus luteum is rescued or maintained. The processes that control corpus luteum formation, demise (luteolysis), or maintenance are just beginning to be unraveled in recent years; they involve diverse cell types and mechanisms. Some of these processes resemble tumor development—angiogenesis, for instance—but interestingly enough, this resemblance is only up to a point. The corpus luteum uses mechanisms that allow its normal, physiological growth and disappearance. Pulling together key research on the corpus luteum, this volume is of interest to both reproductive endocrinologists and comparative physiologists, with clinical relevance spanning comparative animal studies to women's health. |

| steroid cycle book: Juiced Jose Canseco, 2005-02-21 When Jose Canseco burst into the Major Leagues in the 1980s, he changed the sport -- in more ways than one. No player before him possessed his mixture of speed and power, which allowed him to become the first man in history to belt more than forty home runs and swipe more than forty bases in the same season. He won Rookie of the Year, Most Valuable Player, and a World Series ring. Canseco shattered the mold of the out-of-shape baseball player and ushered in a new era of superathletes who looked like bodybuilders, made outrageous salaries, and enjoyed rock-star lifestyles. And the ticket for this ride? Steroids. Behind the gaudy stats and the glamour of his public life, Canseco cultivated a secret just about everyone in MLB knew about, one that would alter the game of baseball and the way we view our heroes forever. Canseco made himself a guinea pig of the performance-enhancing drugs that were only just beginning to infiltrate the American underground. Anabolic steroids, human growth hormones -- Canseco mixed, matched, and experimented to such a degree that he became known throughout the league as The Chemist. He passed his knowledge on to trainers and fellow players, and before long, performance-enhancing drugs were running rampant throughout Major League Baseball. Sluggers scooping up pitches at their ankles and blasting them out of the park, pitchers cranking fastballs inning after inning -- Canseco showed the players how to customize their doses to sculpt the bodies they wanted, and baseball as we know it was the result. Today, this issue has crept out of the closet and burst into the headlines as players balloon to herculean proportions and hundred-year-old records are not only broken, but also demolished. In this shocking memoir, Canseco sheds light on a life of dizzying highs and debilitating lows, provides the answers to questions about steroids that millions of fans are only now beginning to ask -- and suggests that, far from being a passing trend, the steroid revolution is only a taste of things to come. Who's juiced? According to Canseco's authoritative account, more than you think. And baseball will never be the same. |

| steroid cycle book: Bodybuilding George Touliatos, 2018-08-06 The title of this book, ''the good, the bad & the ugly'', briefly explains the deeper aspect of what iron sport is about and represents. The good refers to the flashy and glamorous side of it. Tanned, oiled, shaved, ripped, veiny and muscular bodies posing on stage. Supreme physiques that reveal this majestic-but misunderstood sport.The bad, encloses all the sacrifices as part of this discipline life style. Dedication, devotion, tunnel vision that basically build a strong character and will power.The ugly side of bodybuilding is hardly revealed, simply because truth hurts and shocks.Drug abuse leads to a plethora of side effects and diseases, making bodybuilding a potentially dangerous life style. Only a physician who walked his talk (as a former competitive bodybuilder), could say it better than anyone else, with reality. |
| steroid cycle book: The Hero's Body: A Memoir William Giraldi, 2016-08-09 A memoir of motorcycles and muscles, of obsession and grief, and of a young man who learned how to stay alive through literature. At just forty-seven years old, William Giraldi’s father was killed in a horrific motorcycle crash while racing on a country road. This tragedy, which forever altered the young Giraldi and devastated his family, provides the pulse for The Hero’s Body. In the tradition of Andre Dubus III’s Townie, this is a deep-seeing investigation into two generations of men from the working-class town of Manville, New Jersey, including Giraldi’s own forays into obsessive bodybuilding as a teenager desperate to be worthy of his family’s pitiless, exacting codes of manhood. Lauded by The New Yorker for his “unrelenting, perfectly paced prose,” Giraldi writes here with daring, searing honesty about the fragility and might of the American male. An unflinching memoir of luminous sorrow, a son’s tale of a lost father and the ancient family strictures of extreme masculinity, The Hero’s Body is a work of lasting beauty by one of our most fearless writers. |

| steroid cycle book: Steroids and Other Performance-Enhancing Drugs Suellen May, 2011 Steroids are used for medicinal purposes but are more often abused to improve athletic performance or appearance. The abuse of steroids follows a pattern similar to that of drug addiction, where those who are addicted will continue to use steroids even after recognizing that the drug is damaging their body and relationships. Steroid abuse originated, to a large extent, in the athletic world. The administration of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs by trainers and athletes is referred to as doping. Although it is known to occur among professional athletes, amateur and student athletes are guilty of doping too. Steroids and Other Performance-Enhancing Drugs explains what steroids are, their medical benefits when used properly, and the damage they do when abused--From the publisher. |
