Are anabolic steroids a good option to improve the ability of a weightlifter?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a 25-years-old male. I am a weightlifter and want to reach my goals and be good in my sports career. So, I am thinking of going for anabolic steroids for weightlifting. Can you suggest a good anabolic steroid and their washing period?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for posting your query. You can make healthy food choices that will be helpful to reach you up to the required calorie. However, the medications will probably exceed the side effects (I would suggest Trenorol; consult your physician before taking it.) I still need many details for proper medical intervention to provide a customized diet plan. Till then, you can follow these tips. Increase a high protein diet, including almonds, six pieces of walnuts per day, vegetables, paneer, soya, tofu, etc. Include chia seeds and flax seeds. Follow the same workout regime, planks, swimming, and basketball. Increase fluid intake. Have a sleep for at least eight to nine hours per day. Manage stress with meditation.Do breathing exercises. Manage to follow small frequent meals. Take a 2400 kcal diet, carbohydrates- 40 percent, protein- 40 percent, fat- 20 percent, and increase fiber intake up to 30 percent of your diet. If required, add a whey supplement (isolate gainer).
