They'll give you bigger, more bulky muscles, but given the half-neurological nature of strength, that doesn't actually make the taker strong. This is why steroids are basically necessary for bodybuilders but are much less likely to be found among, say, Olympic weightlifters.<br /><br />However, like Greg said, what they DO do and what athletes really value them for is allow much faster recovery, both from the normal strains of training/working out and from injury. Just being able to be IN enough games to win a home run competition would be motivation enough.<br /><br />Word verification: "feced"- what the image of professional baseball currently is.LabRathttp://www.atomicnerds.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-85649022571064454592009-06-17T13:46:18.202-04:002009-06-17T13:46:18.202-04:00So, this "baseball" thing, it's like...So, this "baseball" thing, it's like cricket, then?

He was just that good a pitcher.<br /><br />Having said that, lots of players take steroids without ever showing the outwardly-obvious physical changes like Barry Bonds had. Many older players will take steroids in order to heal faster from injuries like they did when they were younger, and not necessarily to bulk up or increase strength.<br /><br />However, in Sosa's case (and McGwire's, too), his ability to hit for power came largely from strength, not from technique. Sammy was doing whatever Sammy could to increase his performance.Brandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07010868377109696846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-78692229772331087742009-06-17T13:09:10.614-04:002009-06-17T13:09:10.614-04:00Anon 12:23
