As I am almost finished with “Pumped” I have learned many things about steroids. As I have read chapters on anabolic steroids I have also learned about other types of steroids that are out there. Another common steroid that is used today is Human Growth Hormone also known as HGH. Human Growth Hormone, which is produced by the pituitary gland and causes rapid skeletal growth and height increase during puberty. The fact that growth hormone is natural lasts only a short time in the body and is virtually impossible to detect with current testing methods has led to it increased use. With steroids out there many people can get addicted or gain tolerance to the drug. Many drugs cause much smaller reactions in the body after they have been taken for a while. At first many weight lifters experience big improvements from taking steroids but then the rate of improvement slows down. The body builders often compensate by taking more but eventually the improvements stops or stays the same and even taking very high doses no linger helps.
