A little Propecia [finasteride] goes a long way toward preventing hair loss. Muscle tears are the result of irresponsible lifting, not steroids. LOL.
I disagree with you, flax. Or better said I don't believe you understand the point I was making.
To put it another way, steroids give the false impression or false feedback to a person inexperienced with steroids. They could be on a tame machine at a weight relatively close to what they might be doing absent steroids and still blow muscles. The false feedback (false in the sense of whether a muscle is trained enough to to perform at a certain weight,
reps or timing) effect might have a person do reps at 2x the speed they normally would under normal muscle feedback. While 2x rep timing can be considered safe for trained muscles the person is left with no clues that the muscle is reaching it's breaking point.
It's not as simple as weight or technique and steroids will leave the inexperienced user lacking the normal muscle feedback.
I wouldn't have come back here and commented on this if you hadn't left the 'LOL.' I really doubt you have any real experience in this domain. I do - and there it is. stfu.
