AM empty stomach cardio poll

Questions for Nelson and Omega, AR:

In what way are steroids anti-catabolic during cardio/fat loss? Don't muscles require stress and load to get the steroids to bind to the receptors to force growth? Or does simply having the steroids floating around cause growth, or stop catabolism by some other mechanism? What's really going on there?

You should start a new thread on this.

A little off-topic from the last post, but I'm just wondering. Does the body burn/eat the fat or muscle first when it needs something to feed from? Thanks!

I actually have some issue with this that are in contrast to some accepted tenets. (Surprise!) Steroids are growth drugs and yes, they work by supplying stressed muscles with extra nitrogen. I believe catabolism and anti catabolisn are WAAAAAY exagerated. Steroids are not great for fat loss other than they'll put on a tiny bit of muscle which in turn helps to burn fat. It is not the most efficacious way to utilize them.
