Bodybuilding is a difficult lifestyle to attempt to live. It by necessity requires dedication, as well as a deep knowledge, on some level, of science and body and physiological chemistry. As the various sciences of the chemistry of the human body has grown, many men and women have used this newly found knowledge as a route to stealing at an edge on their competition and have decided to use substances such as anabolic steroids or "gear". In a number of countries anabolic steroids are against the law.
Anabolic steroids weren't always against the law. Before the legislation making steroids illegal many bodybuilders saw what their competition was achieving through ingesting and injecting them, and rapidly jumped on the metaphorical bandwagon. Anabolic steroids back in the day and age were more frequently legal, and thus was easier for you to get your hands on. The trouble with this was that the risks weren't well known, and in fact they're still not.
Anabolic steroids will likely forever be a real problem within the arena of pro sports. Just as new tests are developed to establish evidence of steroid use, then as an inevitable consequence new drugs and methods come out for the same professional weightlifters to achieve an ahead of the competition. This process is a kind of technological arms race that professional athletes hoping to make their millions of dollars are involved in with the sports regulating committees. I am, of course, not discussing just the sport of weightlifting.
However, there does in fact exist a few different biology tricks that are also becoming better understood that can give athletes an edge without the use of drugs. Some of them are not much more complicated than diet changes, or special routines engineered to synergize with the bodies natural hormonal rhythms. One trick worthy of mentioning is making use of the dry spa right after a weightlifting session in your fitness club.
Human growth hormone is known as a chemical of abuse in a variety of sports, and this may come as a surprise, a release can be induced naturally from the heat found in sauna use. No doubt naturally increasing growth hormone should most certainly be preferable to receiving it synthetically. When a human takes hormones produced externally this naturally suppresses the production of the same compounds within their body, and this can result in atrophy in endocrine systems like hypogonadism. Indeed, sauna use has been found to health with superior control of insulin as well, and insulin is another drug that is abused within the weightlifter communities as well.
