Performance-enhancing drugs may weaken tendons. As this ScienCentral news video explains, scientists studying new drugs being tested for treating muscular dystrophy say that steroids likely work the same way.

  • no! steroids wont make ur tendons weaker! they'll give U bigger n stronger muscles but ur tendons wont get stronger (they will, due to exercise but not as fast) so when ur pushin weights ur tendons cant stand the stress ur muscles are takin!! thats y a lotta bodybuilders do high rep shit to strengthen their tendons too to reduce injury!

  • They BELIEVE...belief is different than proof.

  • no steroids

  • NO STEROIDS

  • @papicock69 Tnx man but to be honest, its not even about me knowing my shit; this video clearly says the same thing @ 1:00 : athletes that take steroids see growth in muscle mass but the signal for growth of tendons isn't there, now I have no idea how one can interpret from this that steroids make your tendons smaller and weaker

  • @Gunjack238 Thats what i love to hear, YOU KNOW YOUR SHIT!!!!

  • Everything has a price to be paid.....

  • well thats the reason why the brazilian ronaldo always is enjured

  • @rcoffma2 Are you sure your brother was taking anabolic steroids? Im thinking he was probably on cortisone, which is also a steroid but its catabolic, meaning it breaks down tissue instead of increasing tissue (anabolic). Doctors use cortisone all the time to break down inflamation. Bodybuilders use the exact opposite type of steroid

  • @Gunjack238 Wow, someone who actually knows a thing or two. The rest think they know something about steroids, but really dont.

  • wow you really have no idea about the human body, do basic human kinesiology to find out just how wrong you are, if you can understand that is

  • So just take Myostatin in cycles. Problem solved... Hell what's the signal to increase tendon size? Get that drug up and going and it's perfect.
