How much do steroids enhance athletic performance ?

Do steroids build you muscle WITHOUT putting hardwork into it ?

Not really. I mean there are studies that say they will improve body composition even in untrained individuals, but you get 500% more out of them by putting in hard work.

I heard the gains actually seen with the stuff without putting hardwork into it is mainly water retention...

Without gear, some very famous athlete would not have won the World Series, that's how much gear can help!

If what you mean by "gains" is putting on weight, than yeah a lot of steroids will do that. Pointless in my opinion.

Yep, that's what I meant. Which debunks a myth that juicers aren't hardworkers. Though, They will see gains quicker while working out, am I correct ?

Steroids will help your body. But talent is something that doesnt have a price tag.

Keep in mind that for every 3-4 lbs of fat you gain, you'll gain 1 lb of muscle just to support it.

being a hard worker or not is up to the individual... correct, many juicers arent hard workers, but some are... unfortunately genetics have a lot to do with it... hard work/good dieting etc makes a hell of a difference though..

Just a question for some research on doing - This drugs been the center of attention lately with the recent steroid scandal in baseball.

So how much of a difference do you guy's think it would make in an athlete's performance, namely a ballplayer ?

really varies a lot.

for some it will make a significant differnce in performance, others not so much.

improving musculature does not neccesarily improve performance...
