Reverse Anorexia in Bodybuilders

I thought this was really interesting. I think all of us probably can identify with this to a point...

Re: Reverse Anorexia in Bodybuilders

Yep can relate to a few things in the article.

It always bothers me the lack of knowledge out there on AAS. Saying that a small percentage suffered from sychotic behaviour well on steroids is rediculous. The fact of the matter is if your an ashole generally then steroids will most likely make you feel like a inpowered ass hole with muscle. I am more relaxed and level headed when running testosterone. I keep my estrogen in check with aromasin and this keeps my moods stable. The times when I feel frusterated are when my estrogen is to high. There are side affects with any medication including steroids if they are abused. When are the media and doctors going to wake up to the benefits of AAS.

Good read thanks mfdvr

Re: Reverse Anorexia in Bodybuilders

If anything, it's interesting to hear the mental health profession's take on what we do. They label it a "disease" which, for a small percentage of bodybuilders, it might be if it destroying their health and relationships. I think the majority of us just want to be strong, powerful, alpha, and challenge ourselves to be better every day...
