The lifestyle of a professional weightlifter is a challenging lifestyle to try to embody day-to-day. It by necessity requires true devotion, as well as a deep knowledge, on some level, of science and basic body chemistry. As the understanding of body chemistry has grown, many people have used this newfound knowledge as a way of stealing at an edge over their competition and have made the choice to use substances such as anabolic steroids. In a great number of countries around the world steroids are now against the law.
Steroids, however, were not always universally against the law. Prior to the legislation making anabolic steroids illegal many bodybuilders visually saw what their competition was achieving through using them, and swiftly jumped on to the bandwagon. Anabolic steroids back then were more commonly legal, and thus were easier to get your hands on. The trouble with this was that possible health issues were not well known, and in fact they're still not.
Steroids will most assuredly always be a real problem within pro sports. Just as new tests are manufactured to establish some evidence of drug usage, then as a consequence new drugs and methods come out for the same professional weightlifters to get an ahead of the competition. This whole process is a sort of mutual arms race that athletes looking to make their grab at millions of dollars are engaged in with the sports regulating bodies. I am not discussing just professional weightlifting here.
It's worth mentioning, however, there does in fact exist a number of biological tricks that are gaining some ground that can give athletes an edge without drug use. Some of them come in the form of changes in diet, or special gym routines engineered to complement the human bodies natural endocrine rhythms. One simple trick worthy of mention is using the dry spa directly after a weightlifting session in your fitness club.
Human growth hormone is notably a chemical of abuse in a variety of sports, but interestingly enough it can be amplified naturally from exposure to heat found in sauna use. Undoubtedly naturally increasing human growth hormone should always be preferable to receiving it synthetically. When a human takes hormones made outside the body this naturally suppresses the production of the same naturally occurring hormones within their body, and this may result in atrophy in endocrine systems like hypogonadism. Indeed, use of the sauna has been known to correlate with better insulin control as well, and insulin is known to be a drug of abuse within the bodybuilding community.
