visual signs of steriod users?

[JoshDunn]

Can anyone tell me what a typical steriod user might look like.

I seem to see big, toned bodybuilder types and automatically dismiss all their hard work cause they must use roids.

Not sure if there would be any visual tell tale signs of a user but someone out there might know what they are.

I was admiring Ronnie Coleman's massive weights until someone told me that he uses and then I've lost all respect for him.

Quick question can anyone tell me how to attach a picture to a post.

I had a pic of Ronnie shruging something crazy but couldn't work out how to include it.

a few signs are massive size with extreme vascularity, HUGE traps can be a sign, making great gains through very high rep/ huge volume workouts.
I also don't think that doing steriods means you must lose respect for them, because the top bodybuilders who do steriods also work their a** off. I mean they would not be as big without steroids obviously, but they still follow extremely strict diets and very difficult training programs. I think that steroids are a choice and not a good choice in my opinion, but I still respect the work the top bodybuilders put in, oh and Ronnie does steroids.

Don't assume someone does steroids without actually having first hand knowledge that they might be...For example it can be easy to tell if a girl has an eating disorder but you can't confront someone based soley on how they look...Youd have to see how they behave and how their bodies change through time...It is possible that many people take steroids that you might not think do, and possible that people who "look" like they do take, don't...many people have asked me if I juice and i think its the biggest complement cause I simply chose not to...if you are suspicious of someone taking, then have a casual conversation and ask them what their diet is and how they work out...

[myr11]

and one more thing...even if Ronnie Coleman uses steroids, how many people do you see look like that? Obviously its more then just steroids...personally I worry about my own body rather then other peoples, unless I am training them...

thanks for your imput guys,

i'm quite ignorant when it comes to roids.
I know that massive people who use would be massive without but how much extra would you get from roids?

by the i'm not thinking of taking if thats what your thinking.

there's no such thing. Look at Ronnie Coleman. Then look at Mark McGuire. They look nothing alike, but they're both steroid users.
