[QUOTE="Jinzang, post: 188956, member: 12925"] The [URL='https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/sms.13843']abstract[/URL] is so clear that it's worth quoting the whole thing: An estimated 4‐6% of fitness center visitors uses anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS). Reliable data about adverse reactions of AAS are scarce. The HAARLEM study aimed to provide insight into the positive and negative effects of AAS use. One hundred men (≥18 years) who intended to start an AAS cycle on short notice were included for follow‐up.
