“The fitness industry is the only place that you get rewarded for having a drug problem and an eating disorder. If you combine the two you get a pro card."
For every Pro that died there are dozens of people no one heard of that checked out by abusing gear, meds and diuretics despite being nowhere near big and with genetics that wouldn't allow them to get a Pro card even if they replaced their blood with tren. That is the real tragedy
this is excellent I am Bostin Loyd's mom, thank you for adding Bostin in this, I have watched most of your videos you are so right on very educational you are making a difference in the Bodybuilding world
People have no concept of how lucky they are with bodies that are so functional, wasting them for nothing.
Extreme body dysmorphia, eating disorders, drug addiction. What could happen?
I was a wrestler in high school. As a freshman I had a membership at a golds gym and worked out next to a bunch of huge bodybuilders not too much older than me. My coach knowing this sternly told me not to talk to any of them or try to get info out of them. I was right to listen to him. Present day, that gym is closed down and has been replaced. One of the bodybuilders I worked next to is DEAD!
"Bodybuilding got me interested in fitness, but it's darker side is what got me interested in health" 🔥🔥🔥 bars bro I literally got chills
This video might have saved my life. Gonna make the change and pray there is no lasting damage that time can’t heal. Thank you!
IN Brazil there is a man called Rodrigo GĂłes who does videos talking about issues of steroids. He gets so much hate for many of Fitness bubble, saying he is just a hater who never made it as a pro. You see in the comment section of his videos many guys telling how he made them never take or quit steroids. This work you do is excellent. Dallas McCarver's Heart was over 800 grams, this is not normal.
I nearly died 2012 from two blood clots in my right lung, 6yrs AFTER i stopped juicing. Even today i walk around with high red blood cell count & i ain’t taken gear for decades. Damage is done
This video should be shown in gyms and at schools.
My son gave up being a pro. I am so happy for him. He was so dedicated to the gym and diet. He passed out while posing. No more!!
No one dying says “at least I’m dying doing what I loved”. They say “Mama, Mama” or “Lord, save me”.
This is reminding me of issues with dog-breeding. Contests about meeting a visual standard become more extreme and have less and less to do with living well or anything practical. Thank you for the concept of summit fever. It applies to a lot.
It was the late 90s and I got down below 20% body fat for a photoshoot. I was also very dehydrated to look lean and cut. I hadn't eaten in 24hrs. For a sportswear photoshoot - modeling "healthy active lifestyles" Don't chase that look. Don't starve yourself and use crazy drugs to be big and cut. It's not worth your life
It's not just bodybuilding or fitness. In every single media we are blasted with ideal body images, it's a constant pressure. It's terrible for both mans and womens.
The point about very high T affecting IQ shocked me. I would've never guessed. This is really informative content. Thanks!
Arnold is 100% right for calling them out
I’ve been lifting for 3 years and still small. Any time I think I should hop on a cycle a video like this reminds me to stay natural. Thank you ❤
