hich received no testosterone or exercise, received testosterone with no exercise, placebo with exercise and received testosterone and exercise. The groups that received testosterone were injected with 600mg for 10 weeks. This is a reasonable dose for a bodybuilder. The group that received exercise were put through weight training three days a week for 10 weeks. The results showed that among the men in the no-exercise groups, those given testosterone had greater increases in fat free mass and muscle than those without testosterone. The men assigned to testosterone and exercise had greater increases in fat free mass and muscle size than those assigned either no exercise group. Neither mood nor behavior was altered in any group.

There are a couple of ways to administer steroids into the body. Even though there are oral pills, injection seems to be preferred. Injection steroids are the safer and more potent steroids. Injecting is safe as long as responsibility is taken. Things like syringe selection, injection site, technique and sterilization are all factors to consider. You can use the shoulder, thigh or buttocks for injection sites, the buttocks is the best choice. The buttock offers the largest area for deep injection into the muscle tissue and plenty of room to store the solution. This area also has few blood vessels. Syringe selection is also important. You must have a proper size needle to administer steroids. Any needle over 23 gauge would be too thin. A needle this thin could break trying to penetrate muscle tissue. A 22 gauge, one and a half inch long needle is ideally the safest needle. Sterility must be practice as with anything coming into contact with the bloodstream. The injection site should be cleaned with rubbing alcohol. Always use a new s...
