I never saw the difference. Maybe because they looks like they have more years of experience in the gym and that’s all, but only noticeable difference i saw is a size ot he muscles. There is a lot of different steroids and a lot of different medical reasons outside the gym that cause people to take steroids so there is too much variables here to say for sure but it rather are unrelated correlation

I don’t think it’s the steroids…it’s what they do when they are on them…they over exert themselves and don’t allow time for recovery…this wears down the body and makes them look old

People that use steroids are overly concerned with how they look. My guess is they’ve hit the tanning salon/beach without sunscreen a few too many times. Plus people’s faces look younger when there is a little body fat under there.

Certain steroids are used specifically to reduce body fat -to give that dry, fibrous look. This also reduced fat under facial skin causing a premature aging effect.

It depends entirely on the steroid. The most basic and most common steroid, testosterone, actually has anti-aging effects and will make the skin look younger. Some steroids increase your blood pressure, cholesterol, whatever, it depends on the steroid. All of them are harmful at a certain dose. Tylenol is harmful at a certain dose. There are doctors prescribing steroids to patients. These doctors aren’t intentionally harming their patients.
