There are so many great things about the bodybuilding lifestyle. There are health, mind, and discipline attributes that are a positive for young men. The negative is clearly the drugs. Let's face facts. Pro bodybuilding is based on drug use. The supplement ads that keep the magazines in business feature drug using bodybuilders.
I have seen to many guys throw away there life pursuing a junky trophy living the juicing life style. They throw away their education and future careers looking to buy that next syringe and vial. When I was about 45 I remember having a conversation with an old friend. We were talking about our bodybuilding buddies back in the day. The conversation was always the same. What happened to the huge juicers back in college. They are all ex users and look like crap. They also have garbage jobs. In the day they were the minor celebrity in the clubs.
If they would have taken a different road the conversation would have went something like this. "What happened to John back in the day." "Ya, he was good. He could have won some contests if would have juiced. You know something. He's still looks great."
I'm off the soap box. Now you can tell me to shove it.
