TLDR
The strength of treated subjects increased significantly; their mean weight gain was 2.48 kilograms with no significant change in skin fold thickness, as did oxygen uptake ability and nitrogen retention by the blood.Abstract:
Twelve matched pairs of subjects, fed a high protein diet, were trained with weights for 6 weeks. In the final 3 weeks twelve subjects received 5 milligrams of methandrostenolone (Dianabol) twice daily. Maximum weight lifting, thickness of skin folds, oxygen uptake, blood chemistry profile, and concentration of blood lipids were determined. Also used were cable tensiometry and anthropometric measurements. The strength of treated subjects increased significantly; their mean weight gain was 2.48 kilograms with no significant change in skin fold thickness. Several anthropometric measurements increased significantly, as did oxygen uptake ability and nitrogen retention by the blood.read more

TL;DR: Those given testosterone had greater increases than those given placebo in muscle size in their arms and the strength of the arms and legs was assessed by bench-press and squatting exercises, respectively.

Effects of Androgenic-Anabolic Steroids in Athletes
Fred Hartgens,Harm Kuipers +1 more
TL;DR: Although AAS administration may affect erythropoiesis and blood haemoglobin concentrations, no effect on endurance performance was observed and little data about the effects of AAS on metabolic responses during exercise training and recovery are available and, therefore, do not allow firm conclusions.

A Review of the Chemistry, Biological Action, and Clinical Applications of Anabolic-Androgenic Steroids
TL;DR: Given the biological effects and potential adverse effects of AAS, administration of these agents should be avoided in pregnant women, women with breast cancer or hypercalcemia, men with cancers of the prostate or breast, and patients with nephrotic syndromes or significant liver dysfunction.

Effects of Selected Weight Training Programs on the Development of Strength and Muscle Hypertrophy
TL;DR: This experiment was undertaken to determine the effects of a six-week progressive weight training program on the development of strength and muscle hypertrophy, using one exercise, the deep-knee bend, with varying repetitions, using 30 students chosen by random from beginning weight lifting classes at Michigan State University.
