Are Steroids Really Worth It For Baseball Players and Are Major League Players Dumber Than Rocks?

Steroid use is all about performance enhancement and it does seem that anabolic steroids and growth hormone do work to improve strength and sprinter speed. How they work is for some other post. Endurance is another matter. It doesn’t seem to work to increase stamina. I guess that’s why they recommend the use of insulin.

But with any added performance from steroid use you will also get these wonderful side benefits—proving that the steroid users have some problems figuring out life’s priorities. And these athletes are supposed to be role models! Role models apparently with extremely low IQ’s perhaps.

Who else wants these extras to go along with the big contract or the endorsements or the medals? Injury, premature aging, visceral tumors, imparted fertility, fluid retention, deranged lipid metabolism, antisocial behavior, altered cognition and other unanticipated, but strongly associated, side effects.

Let me get this straight. Donald Fehr, the head of the baseball players union, is against hard testing. So I guess the players are too.

Barry Bonds shouldn’t worry since he only takes flaxeed oil and some rubbing cream for his athritis. I think Barry ought to share some of his flaxeed oil and rubbing cream with Donald Fehr. Then maybe Donald would change his mind after checking the above list of extras you get with that menu.

My question is who is dumber—major league players or rocks?

If you have questions about this blog post or on any phase of pitching—mechanics, strength and conditioning, mental training, strategy send those questions to dickmills@gmail.com and I will answer them here.

If you want an explosive body and explosive mechanics you need to get my Free Report at www.pitching.nexcess.net. We won’t waste your time. We show you how to recognize exactly what is holding back most pitchers…find the problem—fix the problem. I show you a comparison between two high school pitchers and a major league pitcher who throws mid to upper nineties. You will see the biggest problem that reduces velocity in the majority of pitchers.
