Blogging About The Truth To Gain Weight & Build Muscle Mass!

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.

You can open up and read every month in just about every muscle building / weight gain magazine the same run-of-the-mill article about how vitamins are important. Which they are, the only problem is that the amounts and dosages recommended are much higher than what is actually needed, even if you are a participating in an intense workout program to build muscle mass naturally and gain quality weight.

The very popular show “20 / 20″ recently had an investigative report that questioned the use of mega-dosages of vitamins, even interviewing individuals that religiously took all of their vitamins and minerals……but it was revealed that mega dosages provided no advantage what so ever. That is, of course, if you consider wasting your hard earned money on yellow urine is considered an advantage!
