The Dark Side of Fitness Culture

Everyone knows that physical exercise and weight lifting can have an extremely beneficial effect on the health status of the endangered by the modern disease of the enduring mammals that we are.

But now we will not waste our time in the proven-for-regular sports.

We get off the treadmill and go to the disk-filled, threatening bar that waits for some made alpha-male to seduce her.

Make a mammoth shake with four tablespoons of whey protein, 5 grams of creatine and a little glutamine and get ready for a massive series of curtain rises over the extreme world of the modern generation of steroids.

"Bilders", "lifts", "bats", "reliefs", "machines", "testosterone haidouks", "anabolic kingdoms", "cut frogs", "fucking animals" ...

Apollonians and Atlases who progressed from their own muscular development progress in many subcultures and jargon definitions, but they are all threatened by the dark side of the fitness universe.

Serious substances designed to dramatically increase muscle mass and strength - albeit illegal - are more affordable than ever and halls are full of 18-19-year-old consumers of powerful preparations.

At the same time, the bodybuilding factories continue to force its fruit to fall prematurely from the tree.

In the last few years, we have witnessed a mass extinction of legendary muscular gods from the posters in the halls.

Before the age of 50, the bodybuilders Andreas Münzer, Nasser El Sonbati, Greg Kovac, Mike Matarazzo, Matt Duval, Art Atwood, Eduardo Cowan, ​​Derek Anthony, Don Jangblood (51 yrs), Luc Wood, The Bulgarian Tsvetko Tsvetkov ...

In the wake of the death squads, Andrew "Test" Martin, Edi Guerrero, Chris Benoit, Hercules Hernandez, Crash Holly, Kurt Henning, Davey Smith Smith, Sean O Hair, Rick Rudd and many others.

In all these fatal cases, anabolic steroids are involved in one way or another.

Sometimes athletes have combined "magical" muscle pills and injections of cocaine, amphetamines, alcohol and other substances; otherwise, preparations have been a catalyst for depressive and suicidal states, and have simply accelerated the tragic outcome.

But the medical consensus about the deaths of dozens of anatomically prominent athletes is that their internal organs have simply not survived the systematic overload with anabolic hormones.

Long-term abuse damages the heart, kidneys, brain, liver ...

Here is the place to make an important refinement and to dispel a delusion.

According to numerous medical tests and tests over the years, the moderate use of quality steroids by men in perfect health has no negative effects on their health.

In most cases, alcohol, for example, causes more damage than the low dose of diamond, which was the norm in the golden days of bodybuilding in the 1970s, also known as the Arnold Age.

But who is the average youth of the neighborhood room who has time for regular medical research and a quest for quality medicine?

The black market is overflowing from untested boxes with potentially dangerous stimulants.

The boys crash with Anavar, Anadrol, Methan, Winstrol, Primobolan, Testosterone, and what not.

Separately, we also have "heavy artillery" as growth hormone, insulin, and diuretics. Insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) increases not only the muscles but also the internal organs. That's why it's full of bodybuilders with abnormally bulging stomachs.

Today's youngsters who just pump to impress a boyfriend or want to compete with their stronger peers tend to step into steroid cycles that Arnold's elite professionals have not even thought of.

Today the results must be more extreme and faster.

The way of thinking in the generation "I want everything and I want it right away" stimulates systematic overdose with dangerous drugs without proven origin.

But the desire to be bigger and stronger overshadows the potential danger of acne, baldness, gynecomastia (the male tits syndrome), temporary testicular atrophy.

For injured internal organs, today's babies do not even think. The dream for a 50 cm hand to 9 percent subcutaneous fat is stronger than anything. The muscular image has the collective imagination of fitness maniacs around the globe.

The steroid trap snaps with the depression that occurs when you break it and those 10-15 pounds of size go to hell.

You are no longer the same, the veins are not so protruding, the 190 kilos squat are just a pleasant memory, the eyes of others do not last so long on the spiraling deltoids, the ego atrophies ...

That is why many guys do not go out of the cycle at all.

The obsession with a dramatic accumulation of quality muscular mass or extreme acquisition of relief explains the sensational headlines in specialized editions such as the "Steroid Death Epidemic".

The striving for radical results is immediately coupled with the expansion of the often manipulative business of nutritional supplements, which are advertised by 130-kilogram tyrannosaurs with 55 inches of hands and scary relief.

These elite bodybuilders do not rely on protein powder and creatine, but many 15-16-year-olds still believe in the marketing strategies of the supplement industry. And when they discover that they will not upload 10 pounds of muscle per month with amino acids, they decide to take the decisive step toward the first injection.

A large part of the fixed in the building of a threateningly impressive physics forget about the "genetic potential" factor.

Arnold, Serge Nyber, and the other elite champions have a superb gene for muscular development, and even without steroids, they will look better than the average fitness rat trapped with testosterone and methane but the results are gone.

Today, not only the bodies are on a pill and injection.

The mentality is on steroids. YOLO * The generation and legions of the precarious young men who can only validate across the width of their back feed a powerful culture of monster and animation.

The most modern disease is the Bigger. Or more scientifically-muscular dysmorphia. The other term is the almost poetic "complex of Adonis" - "a mental disorder characterized by a continuous drive to increase muscle mass and muscular relief."

Abnormal desire to be more hungry, choppy and disturbed than anyone else in the room. This is the dark side of the muscular obsession. She has plagued millions of fundamentalists of the dead thrust and the triceps of a tramp, praying for one more centimeter on the bicep in the temple of body cult - the gym.
