Steroids and pain sensations

[InoUh]

Can steroids make one insensible to pain? I have been reading about some shootouts, and there were some bad guys who were jacked with roids, and they would get a lot of hits before falling. Just made me think - can steroids kill the sense of pain, or this is a myth?

i can tell you when i'm on tren i tend to break a lot more things and bang my shoulders into walls, hit my head etc more. it makes you so much stronger that you tend to break things by accidents.. i can remember i opened up a jar of juice and the thing exploded in my hand. thats what strap and glove less deadlifts while on tren do to your hand strength.

You will definitely get stronger, but I doubt that you will stop feeling pain on steroids. What is possible, is that you will be much stronger, and due to the high levels of androgens in the blood, and increased aggressiveness, you might pay less attention to pain, but it will still be there. At least I have never seen any study showing that steroids will reduce pain sensations.

Steroids increase the feelings of aggression and strength. You feel like superman on them.

You don't become invincible though lol. You might pay less attention to the pain, but the pain would still be there.

It would be kind of like stubbing your toe when you are drunk. You still stubbed your toe, you just might not notice the pain quite as much.

Good analogy above about the drunk guy stubbing toe. You will definitely still have pain but may not notice it as much.

Just to answer his question directly - its a BS myth
