Steroids are also beneficial for body builders as it help in increasing the size of muscles and also help in increasing the strength. Body builders find these substances very useful as they help them to increase their strength such that they can lift more weight, especially in a weight-lifting competition.  Because steroids help in increasing body muscles, they therefore give users a good look in terms of appearance and posture.
