Bigger Stronger Faster*, a new dvd about steroids

Post by vern »

I just Netflixed this documentary about steroid use and thought it was a very good film. They cover both sides of the issue, and it has a lot of very frank discussion about the pros and cons of steroid use.

It features three brothers who are into power lifting. Two of them are surprisingly open about their steroid use. The movie also talks a lot about Ahnald's career, the baseball scandals, and many other aspects about drug use in daily life. (I was amazed at how many musicians take beta-blockers because of stage fright.)

This movie is very well made and definitely worth a look.

PS You can get a great ab workout watching this film as well. About a half hour into it, they show Ben Affleck going into a roid-rage from some awful movie. It made me laugh, so I put that scene on repeat on the dvd player. Then I started laughing so hard that tears came to my eyes and my abs hurt. (It may have just been the bourbon though...naaaa, it was Ben.)

Very good movie.

Shaf just posted an update on the Training Forum.

The oldest brother in the movie was just found dead at 37.

In the movie, the dad talked about how he was worried that they would find that son dead one day. What a tragedy.
