IS BODYBUILDING KILLING?

 

 

Is bodybuilding a dangerous sport? Is it killing its champions? What is the truth? 

The highest level of bodybuilding is IFBB PRO and in that category the use of doping substances is not prohibited. Few people know how harmful those drugs can be. 

Mister Olympia is the most renowned title of the world and to participate in the IFBB PRO category you are forced to take those substances. An example of their side effects is this ... (see picture below)

 

This is Shawn Rhoden, Mister Olympia  2018, he died this year and he was only 46 years old. This is not the only case, since many bodybuilders died even at a younger age than him, for example Daniele Saccarecci. 

 

Saccarecci died when he was 33.  We have also bodybuilders that are still alive and that got quite old, like Ronnie Coleman ... or Arnold Schwarzenegger,

 

but how is that possible?

It is not possible to calculate what side effects a person will have because it depends on your genes and also on what type of doping substances you use. If you use INSULIN OR TRENBOLONE, which are the most toxic and dangerous,   you may have more chances to have harmful side effects, like tumors high pressure or a heart attack.

Bodybuilders may have the body many people dream, but many of them are ready to risk their lives to achieve that goal.

Before approaching this world you should be aware, especially in countries where these substances are legal, like the USA, about the risks you are taking. Instead, especially teenagers do that without knowing it and there are unscrupled people who sell them drugs without warning them.

So, in conclusion, everyone should be aware in order to avoid finding themselves in a dangerous situation without knowing how they got there.
