We're talking about this because the statements you are making (like the ones above) are simply not true. Steroids promote the retention of water and fat.

Muscle is formed from the breaking down of the muscle (caused by exertion of the muscle through exercise) and the rebuilding. If you don't do anything, you're not going to have any gains and you'll suffer through the side effects anyway.

a lot of people get water bloated when on steroids yes, this is short term, when you stop taking them the water goes

you will only put fat on if you eat more callories than you burn (whether you take steroids or not)

if you dont do anything whilst on steroids you wont have any muscle gains you are right but you will see strength gains

you are at risk from the side effects how ever you approach it, your risk may increase for many reasons and one is if your diet isnt clean

I have been going to gyms from an early age, i have gone through periods of bodybuilding, i have never done steroids but i have considered it a researched it many times and i have mixed with people who have, still do

i was just talking to someone I have known for years last night in the gym about his current cycle and the strength gains he is getting

a lot of people start cycles with dbol (fast acting pills), which after a short time they see big (short term) strength gains (not long term muscle gains)

what i am saying is true, if my gran went on a cycle of steroids and did nothing she would see temporary strength gains
