Because the steroid users in things like Mr. Olympia use the drug responsibly, they get blood work done and visit the doctor constantly, the gym bro steroid users are the ones just abusing the drug just giving themselves unhealthy amounts of injections and having an unhealthy attitude about lifting and they buy it illegally not through a prescription and they don't have a health care professional monitoring them.

Sasha's comment about body dysmorphia hit on different level. How many times do you hear bodybuilders saying "I just want to get bigger". I think its just a chase of the dopamine rush and they should have acceptance with their body for how it is. Yes, stay in shape and eat healthy but also be okay with not needing to be jacked to be happy.

@Anthony Lopes sure except anorexia is a pathway to literal death and bodybuilding may potentially at some point cause minor injury, maybe?

[@sashameetsfitness]

Unfortunately body dysmorphia can affect anyone, especially bodybuilders. I agree with what you said that it can sometimes be a dopamine rush. For others it can be a coping mechanism from a trauma and for others still it's just part of the sport and part of the love for it. But I think all bodybuilders need to have a little crazy in them to dedicate their lives to this craft haha may not be the healthiest but it's the truth

[@penelopehepburn7416]

yes so true

[@chris7285]

What I dislike about the bodybuilding community is how there’s a lot of people who think that simply getting into your ideal shape is gonna fix your self esteem issues. Mental issues aren’t always correlated with your physique. For example I’ve been lifting weights for years now and I’ve definitely gotten stronger and bigger but my social anxiety isn’t just going to magically go away just because I’m bigger. If the source of your mental pain stems from your physique then perhaps but if not then bodybuilding is by no means a fix. Did it help? Sure but it felt like throwing on a bandaid onto a deeper seeded issue. I’m all for staying in shape and keeping healthy but I think people should understand that it’s not gonna fix all your other problems in life just because you look better than before or because you can lift heavier than before.

[@charliecrome207]

For sure. It may help mental health for some people to look after their health more, but ultimately a healthy self image shouldn't be tied to external factors.

[@O_g_]

completely agree, it does help but not one thing in this world is going to relieve you from facing problems. The gym has given me confidence and has helped me to some degree but it's never going to fix everything

I love they complained about how unhealthy obesity is and immediately after promoted steroids which are dangerous for your heart, liver, rage issues toward others, and fertility...how is that any healthier

[@Drifter1989]

Depends on the PEDs. TRT or HRT for an example is totally fine when supervised by trained doctors and specialists at healthy dosages. Plenty of people take certain substances not for human consumption just because it leads to muscle growth with negative side effects but those ones are advised against by actual knowledgeable people within the fitness community. The problem with PEDs is that they’re abused by many people who don’t know what they’re doing but some can be used in a healthy manner under medical professionals given those substances are already used for other circumstances. If PEDs weren’t seen as taboo, more people would be educated on it and know what’s healthy and what’s not.

[@Rezegn]

Bro promoted?

[@Kirbystare1992]

You can abuse both but I’m gonna go out on a limb and say obesity has higher leading cause of death than abusing steroids does. Steroids is optional versus eating is not we have to eat in order to survive. I’m excluding the people dying from hunger it’s obviously not an option for them I’m talking about people who have the means to eat. Obesity is a more pressing matter and I don’t think they promoted it,

[@DavidLyles]

You know some steroids are naturally created in our bodies right? Increasing the production of those naturally produced steroids isn't really that dangerous if you are careful and taking the right stuff. Just like Arfhat Rana said, it can be dangerous if they take the wrong thing but increasing natural production isn't dangerous at all. Sorta like medicine that increases enzymes that help with constipation or it could even help you produce more eye fluid for people with dry eye. What you eat, how much you eat, when you eat it, and knowing how what you eat affects your bodily functions is enormously helpful. So no, it's not as dangerous as it's often talked about as being.

little tip for ppl entering the gym/bodybuilding area, do not look down on your physique. it leads to body dysmorphia which from my experience is such a horrific cycle. luckily I borderline forced myself out of it but the best tip is to simply not get into it. keep your head up, aim high but don't let it consume you

When they were discussing being overweight, I think they overlooked the point where someone is not able to get up and make the change. They are unhappy that their body is not in a healthy range but they don't have the mental strength to actually do something about it. It's not just seeing few inspirational posts and 'oh yes I'll change my life today!'. Additionally, there are people who are over/underweight due to medical conditions too, including mental health conditions. We never know why someone is in a way they are, that's why I feel we should never look down on someone for not taking care of themselves/their body especially in a way we would expect.

I definitely agree. I think a lot of body builders have this mindset of "if I can do it, so can you" and that just isn't true. It's a privilege to be able to work out like that or even to work out at all. It takes time and mental fortitude that some people just don't have.

This conversation was so one sided. Glad that Sasha was there to tip the scale a bit. One of the biggest issues I have with the bodybuilding community is this quick effort at shaming people who are overweight when bodybuilders, TO DATE, die in their late 40's and early 60's. It is NOT a healthy practice of sport, it is NOT a healthy practice for eating and having a relationship with food, it is NOT a healthy practice for your mental health, it is NOT a healthy practice for how you see yourself visually in comparison to others. Margie and the rest of the bodybuilders concluded this conversation (unbeknownst to them) that bodybuilding is about aesthetics and how you look, not how healthy you are. Look at the David Laids (who has fucked his back up so badly he needs injections), look at the bodybuilders here who have admitted they experience body dysmorphic symptoms after shows. What about any of that is better or ok than being overweight.

[@mhmhmmhmhm5162]

Consider the fact that all the bodybuilders who have died in their 20s, 40s or 60s have all been the types that blast gear year-round without doing any bloodwork or using no support drugs.

Margie needs a BIG reality check. Steroids are far more dangerous than obesity, certainly not morbid obesity, but taking steroids is far more dangerous than weighing 200 lbs. Unless you are competing in these top bodybuilding competitions, you should NOT be taking anabolics or any PEDs. And they are certainly not self-care, self-care would be eating a balanced diet and getting adequate excercise. And steroids absolutely can make someone more aggressive. And as for Sasha: no, PEDs should not be destigmatized. They are dangerous, no matter if you're abusing them or not

@iulic9833 I too respect her for transparency. However, the way she says a lot of things makes it quite clear she doesn't think they are as bad as they are.

The thing is tho, body-building is one of the least healthy types of weight-lifting, so compared to someone who doesn't move all day and eats whatever they want they're obviously healthier, but someone who f.ex. has a bigger focus on strength and endurance rather than size, would be considered healthier than probably all of these guys in terms of heart and lung health, etc. So idk why some of these dudes ie.

Bulking and cutting is not inherently bad. Bulking doesn't have to be binging on all the junk you can - it can be a small surplus. Cutting also doesn't have to be starving. It can be a moderate calorie deficit. The more advanced you get, the more likely it is you need bulk and cut phases to build muscle and lean out. But isn't that just life?

Sasha is wonderful. I think when it comes to the “being proud” section, I agree that you CAN be proud. There are people that physically and medically cannot help but be overweight. There are points where I’m sure they can make the change, but it’s 100x harder for them. They’re allowed to be proud of getting as far as they did, until they’re able to make that change. I don’t think it’s anyone’s place to say whether someone cannot be proud to be overweight. That’s their choice and decision to make. If it keeps them going until they’re able to make a change, I don’t think we should take that away or judge them. We shouldn’t take away if someone groups “proud” with being accepting of themselves. Isnt that, in a way, bringing them down? Edit: Sasha, if you ever read this, I just got to the section where you said you almost took your life and I want to say thank you for sharing that and I’m so so so happy you’re here today.

Margie talking down on people for taking pride in something that's killing them and then two seconds later strongly agreeing to steroids.... Girl...

[@ae9999]

the absolute hypocrisy of looking down on people for being out shape because its '''unhealthy''''' but then taking steroids LMAO

[@robynw8223]

Exactly

[@Ory_x]

Except if you work with someone who knows a thing or 2 about cycling then you can do it in a completely safe way? You cant be morbidly obese in a safe way.

[@agathachris9722]

Because those two aren't the same.

I feel bad for Joseph, he was picked on for being overweight and that now has sent him to the extreme side where he just has to prove everyone wrong

[@emmabunch-benson4795]

Yeah. He coulda done so much more with his life but it seems like a very shallow life now-all because of bullies. Bullies literally rob people of life it’s so sad
