The Fake Natural
Have you ever saw people go to the gym and exercise? They look pretty normal right? But we also see pictures or posters of persons known as "bodybuilders". They also go to the gym but why do the two groups look so different if they do the same thing.What is the difference?
What is Steroid?
Basically steroid means a chemical substance which is used to enhance ones physique unnaturally.It is often called as anabolic steroid and some street names such as roids,arnold,juices and more.It is a common consumable or injecting substance in fitness industry where people play bodybuilding sport and show their aesthetic physique as body crafting.
Why is it used for and should be clarified?
Steroids are used for enhancing the physique to look more muscular,vascular and increase muscle size.Since fake/synthetic testosterone is injected in body.The body grows by and gets big.Now what could be the problem here?
No bodybuilding event has ever said that uses of steroid is banned.It was being used by only bodybuilding purposes and that was not known by all.As a result,when the chemical became famous,the youth started taking it in regular basis.This created some serious medical conditions among the consumers such as liver-kidney damage,impotence,heart attack etc.Young fitness enthusiasts follow their favourite bodybuilder and try to be like them.Since the bodybuilders are not open to their steroid uses, the young people take excessive amount of steroids without any guidance which leads them to death.
Nowadays social media plays a great influence in our life.We see and consume posts of our fellow social media influencers and tend to believe whatever they tell us.The fitness influencers we see also sometimes promote usage of drugs/steroids which can be dangerous to normal people like us.
What should we do now?
As this is spreading like fire, first of all we should be educated enough to know what we are told to use.The chemicals or testosterone are really expensive and should not be used by someone who lives on a budget as it can be addictive.According to an article from National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIH), 32% of the steroid users who misuse the substance are becoming more dependent on this.This should be stopped otherwise it will kill our youth.
Another reason of young people using steroids can be this misconception of "building muscle overnight".Experienced bodybuilders also didn't take steroids after their first day in gym.So,without knowing about how steroid works, people should not take it because nothing works overnight.If someone has insecurities about their body they should work on themselves wihtout finind any alternatives or shortcuts.Experienced coaches and stage players should open up about their usage of chemicals and claim they are NOT NATURAL as bodybuilding is misunderstood by everyone who just wants to build a better physique.
