The use of steroids in bodybuilding

This is a video I made for a college class requirement. It is related to the topic of steroids in bodybuilding and whether or not it should be banned in the sport. My opinion, and I have a right to state it, is that steroids should be banned in olympics and sports like that. However, when it comes to the use of steroids in professional bodybuilding competitions, like the IFBB, I believe it should NOT be banned.

"Bigger, stronger, faster" is the documentary's name. I recommend it to everyone so that they hear both sides of the story and make up their own minds about steroid use

:)

@yunus1338 this is actually a clip from a full length documentary called bigger faster stronger.. its a good doc, very informative

[sedod66]

to be honest, the stats mentioned dont mean fuck all because of the different ratios of people using them. its like when people say planes are so much safer than cars. yeah they are but put the same number of planes in the sky as there are cars on the road and it wont be. if the same number of ppl who drank alcohol were on steroids it would be a different story too. loads is exaggerated about roids but the fact is they are just another bad thing to take and they have some serious side effects

[natehaterr]

haha weed is number 3. who the fuck gets taken the hospital after they smoke a joint?

[FUCKTHIS360]

No matter how much you train you won't get bigger then your body's limit and you won't even get to train to hard since your muscles tire fast and you will need at least 4-5 days to use your muscle group again.

By that time you lose the "pumping" the blood flow in the area and its back to almost zero and if you try to push yourself despite the pain and strain you put on your body and all, you migh torn muscles because it didn't have enough time to recuperate and will put you way behind schedule.

@xzfunnyjokeszx yes plase

super human powas

@SinaloenseGuero My wife was reluctant at first, now she hates when Im off of them. Education, responsible use and check ups with your doctor a few times a year is the key.

[pragmaticreality]

Honestly, il never touch steroids! Why would you try and improve your health by injecting yourself with damaging substances? It's seems rather hypocritical

[MRTOM927]

People, talk to me- my opinion, take steroids, you will find the side effects take place in later life. for example arnold- numerous strokes, heart attacks. really? If he hadnt been on steroids, do you really think someone with that much of an amazing body and health would have suffered those problems? I hear bodybuilders having heart attacks all the time. The human body CANNOT cope with the extremes steroids put your heart through. Although i do respect these men&women for working so hard.Peace

[yakulanicksan]

a bodybuilder work harder and bla bla.and arnold is bla bla bla.non of then have patience or endurance to become big with real work and training.so they did use steroids.or els they never became that big.but they got a poor character.cheats and no confidence.and i use word's on youtube to feel big :-/ ups

2:10 LMFAO

[dfolkz1]

@jaehood109 thats what im talking about bro!!

[powerlifted]

anyone that wants the real 411 about anabolics from the 80 to now, from real anabolics to fake, from prescribed to internet, to compound pharmacy to out right poisonous crap, let me know, i will totally school you. If you want dosage information, and the different kinds of anabolic info i know all that too, nutrition, training i know all that too, how to compete, i know that too! Regards! Peace out!

[MassMan67]

BTW, these wrestlers....who were they and exactly what was the cause of death? And not what you "heard" from the sensationalist news.

I bet they did not determine steroids as the cause of death.

Nuff said.....

[MassMan67]

@slavicman09 "ASK A PROFESSIONAL" Spare me! That actually made me smile and laugh. Most "professionals" either spout out the same rhetoric, or have not ever done the true research to support their conclusion. There has not, to my knowledge, EVER been a long term test done on the effects of steroids on the body by anyone. I'll go over this one more time, YES they can be dangerous, AGAIN so can alcohol and cigarettes. So, why aren't those guys that scream about banning steroids ban those as well?

[MassMan67]

@slavicman09 Doesn't matter whom you know, whom you've met, etc etc. I also have an acquaintance with all of the above, and fortunately the people that I have know that have taken then are ticking along just fine. And THAT is because they know what they are doing and have a knowledgeable doctor that doesn't buy into the media fearr, frenzy and hype about how all roids are bad, demonized and should be avoided at all cost. You say it's cheating..well, that is your opinion. (I say no, it isn't) :)

[slavicman09]

@MassMan67 Health wise its not going to kill you immediatly when you take it, thats why they have cycles to help your body get used to it, and then to help your body get wheened off of it, because even you said if not done properly it can be dangerous. However, the long term effects of extended stereroid use (which is what bodybuilders do) , is very harmful to your health (ASK A PROFESSIONAL). Look how many wrestlers and body builders have died( Seemingly random deaths).

[slavicman09]

@MassMan67 Im not believing everything I hear. Ive met people on roids, my brother is a professional athlete, ive been around sports all my life. The purpose of steroids is for people who have experienced traumatic events which caused them huge amounts of muscle atrophy. It literary is a MIRACLE drug that helps these people get back on there feet, where as other wise they may have never totally recovered. Now this same miracle drug is being used to gain musclem its cheating.

[MassMan67]

@slavicman09 Don't believe everything you hear, pal. Steroids in themselves are NOT horrible for your health as steroids have very valid and beneficial uses in the medical field. And also, if one does the research and does the work needed when doing a steroid cycle, they are not the horror stories that the media feeds to the public, and then the public treats this dis-information as "FACT". Yes, they can be harmful when not handled properly, but so can most any drug or alcohol. You gotta educate

[slavicman09]

@MassMan67 key phrase man, "if your not competing" if you are its cheating. And dude its been proven that its horrible for your health. it is a DRUG, people who use this drug experience massive gains, as compared to people who train just as hard. Thats why its cheating. actually humans can get VERY huge naturaly, its just takes years and alot of hours of training and eating, unlike some of the pros who made massive gains in only a couple of years. Dave Draper reached 235 before roids.
