"BIGGER STRONGER FASTER"

"BIGGER STRONGER FASTER" is the name of a documentary about steroids. This documentary can really enlighten you on everything that you didn't know about steroids. It was one of the best documentaries that i've seen. This documentary really shows you that as americans we need steroids.

It may sound wrong to say that we need steroids, but we really do. A lot of our main entertainment is related to steroids. All of the Arnold Shawrtznegger movies, Sylvester Stallone,  hulk hogan in wrestling, and especially in the world of sports. Even if no one wants to admit it, in some way everyone likes the use of steroids.

Roid rage is what happens to people who take large doses of steroids. "Roid rage is a term given to people who act in a very aggressive or hostile manner." Many murders and attacks have happened due to the overuse of steroids. In the media, they make roid rage more complex and confusing than it actually is.

Roid Rage "provokes overreactions via a stimulus that normally doesn't produce such a severe reaction." This is the highest of the levels of behavioral problems that steroids could cause. To show some of the behaviors steroids could contribute to heres this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsFBYq_h_J0&feature=related)

Steroids affects Business

Businesses are affected by steroids because many businesses (mostly dietary supplement businesses) flaunt people that use steroids to promote other things. For example, Hydroxycut, they advertise a man who has a bunch of muscles and say that he uses Hydroxycut. Even if he really does use Hydroxycut sometimes it isn't the real reason he looks the way he does. Steroids is what most of the people in supplement commercials are using and thats the reason they look they way they do not the actual product they're promoting. 

I believe that even though they didn't say the individual in the commerical didnt use steroids that they should still let the audience know that they did. That way people wouldnt get high hopes knowing that one day they would look like the person in the advertisement, when the actual product they were given doesnt provide the same results steroids do. 

Gregg Valentino

Greg Valentino is a bodybuilder who arms are possibly the biggest in the world. His arms got so big because of all the steroids he took, Valentino took more than the regular dose of steroids every time he would inject himself. Also, he would reuse unclean needles to inject himself. By using those unclean needles he ended up infecting his arms. The infection led to large amounts of blood and pus within his arms.

When Valentino realized that his infection had gotten really bad he decided to take care of it, himself. As began surgery on himself large amounts of blood and pus was dripping out everywhere. This self operation led to a trip to the emergency room and a near death experience. The biggest thing that Valentino realized after this event was that one arm was bigger than the other, he wasn't concerned about how his body was internally affected, he was only concerned about what about happened externally. In my opinion Gregg Valentino should stop using steroids all together and do the best he can to get his arms back to a normal size.
