STEROIDS
Steroids also known as Anabolic Steroids are derivatives of Testosterone.Testosterone is a naturally occurring male characteristic hormone which is responsible for higher muscularity in males than females.Females don't have noticeable value of testosterone in them that is why they don't have much muscle content.There are some way with which we can scientifically and logically enhance our testosterone levels but to an extent,not beyond a limit.That is why natural bodybuilding has a limit of gaining muscle mass and size.If someone want to jump beyond that level he/she has to break the barrier of testosterone level,in this attempt people use man-made derivatives of testosterone which we call ANABOLIC STEROIDS.
