chriscarr_78 has a spectacular aura about
Default The Placebo Effect

After reading the following interesting thread (which by the way I myself am guilty of):

BIGOREXIA - do you have it?

I thought I'd ask you all what you thought of, "The Placebo Effect" in regards to steroids.

Huh? Yea, hold on and let me explain. A friend of mine had explained to me that when people start taking steroids they tend to also start increasing the intensity of their workouts whether conciously or sub-conciously.

He stated it was as if people thought to themselves, "I'm going to get huge" and gave more commitment/effort towards their workouts as a result of their steroid use as opposed to when they weren't using.

Besides the obvious effects of steroids on the body (increased muscle mass/size etc) I found it an interesting statement.

The Placebo Effect.
