If you can't control your nerves and your adrenaline is pumping, you gas out in no time. Then again, I'm not an "elite" athlete, nor are the friends of mine with similar experiences. My point is that I just don't believe steroids are the reason Sherk's cardio is so great. I do believe he juiced, but I also believe the dude's work ethic is insane.
Steroids improve every aspect of your conditioning. They make you stronger, faster, think sharper and quicker, more confident, etc. You won't gas out quicker because you're on the juice. If you are a person who tends to gas out because you are nervous and waste energy, you'll be the same on the juice. One thing for certain, steroids is cheating and they definately helped Sherk get where he's at. That said, you do make a good point that he has an insane work ethic. Even on the juice, you don;t get in shape like he was without some crazy ass workouts.
