Tell the Truth About Drugs… Irresponsible Bodybuilders
In most cases, telling the truth will almost always gain you respect versus lying. In terms of steroid use and honesty, this motto seems to be taking things to the extreme. In the world of bodybuilding, it’s pretty common knowledge that many competitors both amateur and professional are taking anabolics along with other drugs to enhance their physique. Most of them keep to themselves and keep it all below the radar. They aren’t naive to think that walking around at 250+ pounds and single digit body fat almost year round is something that can be achieved naturally. But when does speaking about it openly take things in a completely different direction?
Why are you hiding drugs from?
Recently, there have been quite a few people coming out of the woodwork talking about their drug use to help them get bigger and leaner. Some of them using YouTube as their soapbox. The question is, what benefit does this have on others such as the general public or people just getting into the industry (or even gym rats who lift without the desire to compete)?
The legality of what they are doing comes into question. At what point is it considered “illegal” to be showing yourself in a YouTube video injecting anabolics into your body, spot-injecting synthol into body parts for enhancement, and showing off all the other drugs found in your refrigerator that you’re using? Steroids are illegal as is, so I’m confused why they think making a video would make sense. If someone laid 100 pounds of cocaine on a table and filmed it on YouTube (or even released it on Facebook for instance—which some criminals have done which got them caught and convicted), the authorities would be busting their doors in to arrest them. So if steroids are illegal (and there’s no way these individuals have a prescription for all of this stuff), how are they getting away with this? To me, it seems like they are playing with fire by doing so.
The glorification of their drug abuse and them trying to justify why they need to take all of these drugs is absurd. If you were to look at the demographics of their YouTube channels I would be willing to bet the majority of those people watching are between the ages of 15 and 25. These individuals showing injections on camera are being irresponsible—portraying that in order to put on muscle or achieve a better physique that they need to abuse drugs to get there rather than tightening up their diet and crushing their workouts in the gym. Think for a minute just how dangerous what they are showing on camera is.
