Documentary On Truth About Muscle Building Supplements

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

I just rented last night and watched the new documentary titled “Bigger, Stronger, Faster”, which follows the whole anabolic steroids in athletics issue. Very good, very unbiased piece. The directory did an excellent job with this. What I enjoyed a lot was some very revealing bits of information about the bodybuilding supplement industry. In it was revealed, via a photographer for many muscle building supplement ads, how many times the “Before and After” photos are doctored. They even interviewed a popular and well known ex-MuscleTech athlete that admitted on camera that yes, he takes MuscleTech supplements, but that he also takes steroids. By the way, shortly after this movie initially came out the supplement company fired him!

It’s very interesting to see how anabolic steroids were made public enemy number one because of politics and a few individuals, and not because of “health issues”. Another area I found hilarious was the hiring of a couple of individuals that made supplements at the kitchen table for a price of about a dollar something, and can be sold for $30-$60 dollars a pop, and how easy it is. I highly recommend this documentary as it is a real eye opener.
