Advantages to train with CSCS

Firstly, a CSCS is trained to develop personalized training programs based on the individual's goals, fitness level, and any limitations they may have. This means that a layman can receive customized guidance on how to safely and effectively achieve their fitness goals, whether that be losing weight, building muscle, or improving athletic performance.

Secondly, a CSCS is knowledgeable in injury prevention and rehabilitation. They can help laymen avoid common mistakes and injuries that may result from improper form or overtraining. In the case of an injury, they can develop a rehabilitation program to help the layman recover and get back to their regular activities.

Thirdly, training with a CSCS can help laymen improve their overall health and well-being. A CSCS can help laymen understand the importance of proper nutrition and can guide them in making healthy food choices that support their fitness goals. Additionally, regular exercise can improve cardiovascular health, reduce stress, and improve mood, all of which can lead to a better quality of life.

Why choose a CSCS over non certified trainer

While non-certified trainers may have some knowledge and experience in the fitness industry, they may not have the same level of education and training as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS). A CSCS has undergone extensive education and training in exercise science, biomechanics, anatomy, physiology, and nutrition, which means they are better equipped to design and implement safe and effective training programs that can help you achieve your goals.

In addition, CSCS-certified professionals are trained in injury prevention and rehabilitation, which is especially important for beginners who may be more prone to injuries. They can also provide guidance on proper nutrition, which is crucial for achieving optimal results.

Overall, while a non-certified trainer may be less expensive, working with a CSCS-certified professional can provide you with the knowledge, experience, and expertise necessary to help you achieve your fitness goals safely and effectively.

努力、滥用药物、健康伤害

近期，健身界好几名知名人物都相续过世，而一名著名健身网红也因为心脏衰歇而入院。

这一群人，拥有着魔鬼般的身材，让人掉牙的运动表现，但健康却如此不堪一击。。。。。。

健身这今年可以说是如日中天，从想当年许多人害怕‘变太大只’到今天各路网红，明星健身打卡是常态以及他们的时不时三个月，六个月的华丽变身让民众更加愿意为了健身而买单。

付出多少努力，得到多少回报大概是大家听过最多的激励话。

的确，在达成每一件事，努力是最基本的工作。可惜在健身健美界，努力只是其中一个方程式，高端的训练计划也只是一个方程式。

一个公开的业内秘密，专业健美选手都有利用合成类固醇，禁药等补助品来达到他们的身材以及运动表现。而随着‘健美的身材‘开始得到大众的关注，某些网红，明星为了突破自己的事业，也毅然利用这些有可能伤害自己身体健康的方式，来达到他们所要的身材，所追求的运动表现。

其实，他们是可敬的，因为他们是为了自己热爱的事业而牺牲自己的健康，性命。但大众对于这些事物的认知却太少，进而因此走了岔路。

碍于篇幅有限，今天我们就着重讨论合成类固醇(Anabolic Steroid)而已。

首先，合成类固醇又被称为雄性合成类固醇激素，经常被运动员用于提升运动表现（虽然是非法的）以及专业健美选手用来提升肌肉量（公开的秘密）。

合成类固醇可以增加：

1. 促进细胞生成，增加肌肉带氧能力

2. 肌肉体积（muscle mass）及力量(strength)

3. 增加肌糖原贮量 (glycogen storage)

4. 提升战斗、进攻意识，让运动员保持士气高昂(aggression)

5. 增加身体的复原能力，进而可以进行更高强度以及更频繁的训练

除此之外，个别的合成类固醇还可以帮使用者减脂，即使毫无章法的训练方式下，使用者还是可以增加一定的肌肉量！

是不是觉得很棒？是不是想立刻用？

ちょっと待って！

以下我就来向大家说说利用类固醇所需要承担、面对的风险！

自身激素的影响

1. 男性的性欲会增强（使用期），或低下。除此之外，也会睾丸萎缩，精子数量减少，秃头，皮疹等等。 所以你现在知道为什么一拳超人如此强，却秃头了:p 哦对了，还有乳雌化~~~

2. 对于女性，合成类固醇的副作用是极具破坏性的！其中就包括声线变粗，阴蹄增大，脸部毛发变多，秃头，皮肤变粗，停经等等。基本上，就是开始慢慢 ‘雄化’

肝脏的副作用

几乎所有口服合成类固醇都会引起肝功能异常。实验研究证明，合成类固醇是一种弱致癌物质，在同时拥有其他致癌物质存在的同时，可能诱发，促进肿瘤生长！

健身不一定代表你一生安康，滥药肯定包你早登极乐~~~

脂肪代谢和心血管系统

合成类固醇会降低血液中的高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDL)的水平，提高甘油三脂和低密度蛋白类固醇的水平。人话？增加冠心病的风险，诱发高血压咯。

对肌肉，韧带及肌腱的影响
用药后肌肉力量爆发式的成长，使得肌腱以及韧带因为过度拉长二造成撕裂。这是因为这种力量提升是超乎正常的增长。

除此之外，合成类固醇使用者也会感到肌肉发涨，发紧，变硬，甚至造成痉挛。

心理层面
好多年前，知名摔跤选手Chris Benoit 杀了他全家后，进而上吊其实跟滥药脱离不了关系。合成类固醇会造成个人攻击性较强，若使用者有暗藏的心理疾病，可能会被引发。

说了那么多，你肯定觉得这又关我什么事对吗？
可惜，在马来西亚，因为管制的问题，有非常多‘健身同好’都在使用此类药物。更有些所谓的‘贱身教练’会叫学员去做健康报告，过后利用各种语数来蒙骗学员运用合成类固醇来达到健身效果！

或者，你以为很难买啊? Lazada Shopee 上都找得到咯！

Khairy Jamaluddin 敬爱的卫生部长，你不做点事吗？ (I am more willing to translate the whole text to English or Malay if my post caught your attention sir!)

健身是为了健康，不要傻傻赔了性命啊~
