It’s likely any steroids that the Rocket, Roger Clemens, took, did a lot of good to bolster and extend his baseball career. The HGH? Not so likely.
In brief, HGH did increase lean body mass. But, it did NOT increase body strength.
And, it had two ADVERSE effects. First, it increased basal metabolism rates. Second, in at least some cases, it increased exercise-based heart rates.
So, if you see Roger Clemens keel over from a massive coronary while jogging, you know why. In fact, if you see any pro athlete die from a heart attack, you should probably be skeptical.
And, as for that 67-year-old guy in the HGH ads? He’s an exercise fanatic who used the HGH to drop fat, probably takes steroids in the side, and isn’t helping his cardio system one bit.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
