Meet Mark Bell 39-year-old American Professional Powerlifter, he says enough with the BS supplements and reveals the truth on the topic of steroids from a Powerlifter’s perspective!
Mark Bell has been using steroids since the age of 25, when theoretically he was in the testosterone prime of his life. “I love ’em.”
Mark says that steroids are the way to go, his main point is based on the fact that in a highly performance orientated environment, whether that’s bodybuilding or powerlifting, size, and strength based respectively, if there is something designed specifically to improve you and make you better at your chosen field, then why wouldn’t you use it?
Anabolic steroids are synthetic variations of testosterone, allows its user to increase their muscle building potential depending on the dosage, and is the most efficient supplement out there.
Mark: “Rather than ingesting all those weird supplements that the government allows, that nobody regulates, why not take the real thing?”
When it comes to physique and strength, everyone has their own goals but everyone is bound to plateau at a certain level.

Safer options: Steroids or Supplements ?
The supplement industry is not as regulated as it should be, so does this mean supplements are bad for you?
In a highly competitive environment, its a given that individuals will see out an advantage by any means necessary, but most top level athletes will push the fact that they consume: Whey Protein, Creatine, Glutamine, BCAA and natural testosterone boosters, etc. but almost none of them will admit using steroids. What stopping them? Is just the bad reputation of Anabolic steroids? The top bodybuilders in the world use them. The strongest men in the world use them.
Now Meet Meg Squats:
Meg is a powerlifter, coach, and YouTouber who doesn’t take any steroids because they might alter her hormones, increasing signs of masculinity and deepening of the voice, and other undesirable effects for most ladies.

Meg says: “The problem with steroids is not the product in itself. It’s the lack of regulations. You can never know what you’re taking. It is weird that they’re illegal because it makes the whole process a little shady.”
It is important that you must know exactly what you are putting into your body and not experiment randomly with nonregulated drugs.
Because steroids have so many legality issues in most countries, this pushed the manufacture of them underground in a deregulated environment, therefore you can never really be sure of what you are buying!
Alan Thrall, gym owner, and YouTuber explains that he is not using steroids.. yet.
Alan argues, many people have untapped potential. Taking steroids will only allow you to jump to the ‘next level’. Think of juice as shifting to a top gear. You may as well reach a decent level before shifting.
He goes on to say that he feels he has a lot more to give naturally, and that is the primary reason for him not turning the “dark side”.
