The REAL problem with roids is what it does to your skin/face. Being leaner, having a better v taper and muscularity is a looksmax to a certain point of course, but the negatives outweigh the positives and here are 3 reasons.
1) You will notice a lot of admitting steroid users look way older than what they really are.
Dave Palumbo ex-bodybuilder in his early 50s:
David Sinclair head longevity scientist at Harvard in his early 50s:
Which path would you rather go down? The answer is obvious.
Here is another PED user, Eddie Hall at 34:
Looks late 40s, and that's being charitable.
2) It also gives them this weird hotdog skin that is a leathery orange/red color, it looks awful. Case in point:
One could say this is just the abuse of tanning (which is also a looksmin for aging) but it doesn't explain how red and inflamed roiders look.
This guy looks like an angry lobster.
3) It destroys facial sharpness, gives you a fat & round head
This is the nail in the coffin, there are so many cases of bodybuilders when they are young with a sharp jawline/cheekbones that get absolutely drowned in a sea of facial mass grown from PED use.
Here is a famous bodybuilder in his youth, note his face:
Now look at his face:
See how his jawline and cheekbones have just been drowned in a sea of mass, thicker skin, water weight, facial muscle. The end result is a fatter, rounder looking face despite being leaner than he was during his days playing basketball.
Another of many examples is Dorian Yates a bodybuilder. Here is what he looked like natural and young:
Note the jawline.
Now look at his face LEANER but being on roids:
Despite being at like 3% body fat, his face looks fatter, puffier and less sharp.
Fellas, roid use is not the route to go down. It will cause irreversible damage to your skin and face and this in my opinion far outweighs having a better V taper.
