Steroids Aren't a Substitute for Strength Training

When baseball players are accused of using steroids, fellow players and trainers defend them by saying they work hard in the weight room. As if working hard in the weight room is undeniable proof against steroid use. These people are clueless about steroids.

Steroids complement weight training. They are not a substitute for weight training. Taking steroids and not exercising isn't going to transform someone from scrawny to muscle bound. You still have to work hard in the weight room to build muscle. Steroids provide more bang for the hard work.
