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.

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

Hey!

I see your video, but did you realize the rest of your post is a duplicate of another article you posted previously not long ago?

Yes, I usually use those ones to organise my thoughts for the video.

I see. Don't take it for granted that your readers know. If you want to accompany your video with textual information, use new textual information :) That way it doesn't get confused with reposting.

Alright, I'll do that. What if it is mostly like a Youtube description and has the references and the links at the end?

That's an interesting way to look at it. Maybe it makes more sense in the Threespeak frontend. I think the content you upload to this blockchain is mostly regarded as a blog post and on this social network there's a tendency to frown upon reposting, you know, to prevent abuse and such. You can also make unique descriptions for your videos. Think about it that way.
