Steroids will cause you to build more muscle faster. The body usually regulates Steroids carefully to find a perfect balance between “using excess energy to build muscle” and “using excess energy to survive”
Since muscles take alot of effort to maintain, the body only builds small amounts, for survival reasons, as food supply was, for most of our history, absolutely not reliable.
Taking steroids will override this and cause your body to build more muscle faster, and also more overall. Normally the amount of Testosterone and other substances affect both how much muscle you CAN have and how much you KEEP.
If you go on roids, bulk up to become huge and then stop taking roids, you will lose muscle mass and you will not be able to build as much muscle overall anymore, although there appear to be some degree of long term effects of steroid use, altho these appear to be rather neglegible in the grand scheme of things.
