Bigger Stronger Faster

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8nOKJTL6Tg  What is it to be all American? What were we taught as kids? Who are our heroes in America?

I used to say to all my friends, "I bet just about every professional athlete is on steroids."  After watching this movie, I'm certain.  Remember when you were a kid and you wanted to be "the best" at something? Everyone has this dream.  Some achieve it, and other just don't.  I find it ironic that a big portion of those who achieved it "cheated."  Bigger, Stronger, Fasteris about how America is a nation of cheaters.

Really this movie can be an eye opener, or if you only want to believe your truth, then you will deny it.  I've already lost faith in my government telling me what is good and bad for me.  The media tells everyone that steroids is bad and it is cheating.  And I'm not one to say that I would participate in steroid use.  But, giving Americans the false belief that they can be the best athlete with out the use of steroids is rubbish, especially in today's society.

First you might say, "Don't you think I would be able to tell if someone is on steroids?"  When I started in the fitness industry I worked at the godforsaken 24hr fitness.  Myself and maybe one other trainer there, were the only ones that were not juicing.  Even one of my friends, who happened to be my roommate at the time was on it.  I had no clue! He later told me that he regretted doing it.  But he had an obsession, like many other in this society, to be bigger.

Sure I'm against steroids, but really what I'm against is bastardizing the minds of kids, and people to look a certain way.  Steroid use is basically the anorexia or bolemia of the sport/fitness industry.  The only difference is, is that we call it cheating.  Kids can take Methylphenidate or Riddlin/Aderol type drugs to do better on tests.  Tiger woods can get lazer eye surgury to improve his golf game.  Even the average american can drink 3-4 cups of coffee a day to get through the day.  But we don't consider any of these drugs/enhancements Cheating.  The sad truth is that cheating is what we do best here in america.

Humans are creatures of habbit.  If you were told today that you would have to take a drug to keep your job would you do it?  Even if you could not get it legally you still would.  Most people would.  They might say they wont in that situation, but when the shit hits the fan, lets see where shit flies.

I wanted to talk about this movie, not because I'm pro sterioids, or anti steroids.  I would really like to point out that people are being decieved.  I would like to see a documentary about a group of people not taking drugs and living a healthy lifestyle.  Let's see what they are capable of then! Our current sports, and fitness industry only shows us how to cheat, and that if we want to win we have to cheat.

Watch it, and see for yourself some facts you just can't deny.
