Anabolic Steroids are synthetic substances related to testosterone that are used by some athletes to promote and speed up muscle development. Anabolic steroids work by binding to androgen receptor sites, indirectly stimulating protein synthesis, which causes muscle growth and development to enhance and hasten. The gain in muscle strength and endurance is far beyond that which could be accomplished in normal training.
