This is something that is not talked about enough.

It has become very easy for people to use and abuse performance-enhancing drugs like steroids.

Adamma,
Dwayne Johnson,
Sam Sulek,
African Bodybuilders

Ozempic.

Many of us cannot keep up with these standards.

My Time With Power Lifters (3 mins)

I've always wanted to be jacked.

I started taking bodybuilding seriously during the pandemic.

Bigger, leaner, stronger.

The bodybuilders I worked out with would go on the whole day, doing 2 to 3 reps per set for an unlimited number of hours.

They talk in hushed tones about getting steroid cycles.

Social Media

Everyone is in competition now on social media.

People are more distracted now than they were in the past.

The things distracting us are the apex examples of anything we like:
If it's cars, it's the supercar.
If it's a house, it's a really big house that flies.
If it's bodybuilders, it's Dwayne Johnson.

It's all fine and dandy until you realize that 16-year-old boys in the UK, as shown by this video, are all getting hooked up on steroids.

The Effects

Life expectancy is already low among Nigerians, about 50 years. Don't go and make it worse by taking steroids.

When I spent time with bodybuilders who were getting hooked up on steroids, I too wanted to get hooked up.

It's really ironic that the reason people get into fitness is to prevent cardiovascular diseases, but bodybuilders are dying from cardiovascular diseases.

Besides that, people are dying from sepsis from these injection sites.

Low body fat leads to immunity and reproductive problems. Loss of libido for men and infertility for women.

For the Heart of the matter
