Bigger Faster Stronger

There has always been the argument of who is the most powerful whether its strength or speed. Now what if someone came up to you and said, “Hey, I can make you three times stronger than your opponent if you just take this pill,”? A majority of people would say absolutely! But, is it morale? That is the big debate; are steroids a fair way to be the best you can be physically? The documentary “Bigger, Stronger, Faster” attempts to answer this question. Are steroids fair? That has always been the huge question in competitive sports such as major league baseball, the NFL, bodybuilding, and olympic sports. What steroids do is put more testosterone in your body to promote muscle growth to a high degree. Now why should that be fair to get much stronger without your opponent knowing that you’re taking a supplement? I for one think that steroids are in fact cheating. If I were to have worked my tail off without juice just to get beat by someone who is on steroids for something I loved, I would be furious. One question I have towards people who take steroids is, how do they not care that they are abusing their body just to try to be the biggest? I don’t understand how they live with themselves knowing that they are pretty much cheating. One aspect they used in the movie was showing how naive Americans are. Americans are lead to believe by all these jacked guys that if they get as big as them, then their lives will be significantly better. People believe this, so then they try to get as big as possible by any means necessary which is where steroids come in. Once you’ve accomplished your desire to be huge, then where are you left? Exactly where you left off in life. Sure you can go compete in bodybuilding competitions or weightlifting competitions but there will always be your conscience saying to you that you cheated to get where you are. One perfect example of someone who is big but not a success is the guy who trains at that Gold’s Gym in California.
