Modern Bodybuilders - Steroids Era
Modern Bodybuilders - Steroids Era
The history of bodybuilding is very long. Perhaps it started with cavemen as they were first weightlifters. Then the time of ancient warriors arrived who struggled hard to gain extra edge on their rivals. They were quite conscious that if they had healthy diet with some powerful herbs, they would have extra powers. So we can say that even at that time, people were in search of some power enhancing products to improve their muscular body.
Bodybuilding in recent times can be divided into two eras. One is classical and the other is modern. Classical era in the field of bodybuilding started in the end of 19th century. It continued till 1970s and then the modern bodybuilding era started. This modern era is completely different from the classical one in many respects. I must confess that change is compulsory, so there is nothing new in this regard. Science and commercialization are in power now and almost everything has become under its influence.
The pictures of bodybuilders of classical era on YouTube are marvelous. They looked like natural bodies as compare to the modern bodybuilders who have taken the shape of monsters. There was nothing artificial in them. The principles set by their forefathers were completely followed. Proper and healthy diet, lot of rest and positive approach in life was the basic principles to have a good and strong body. Now the situation is in reversed gear as instead of healthy diet, supplements are preferred; a lot of recreational activities have taken the place of proper rest; and negative approach has become the trademark of modern world. So the complete look has been changed.
The main function of all muscles building formulas, bodybuilding and exercising equipments are to give you awareness about your physique. No doubt, these are not bad places but the ways they are promoting to achieve the desired physique are worst. The most travelled road of bodybuilding has turned toward wrong direction and pure and natural ways of bodybuilding have been transformed into artificial means.
Introduction of anabolic steroids in bodybuilding was the first step towards the modern bodybuilding era. The strong and huge sized muscles and oak like qualities are attributed to these steroids that have attracted our youth with such a force that they have become helpless in the hands of this so called modernity. Their desire to become the same is natural. They know it quite well that it is impossible to attain all these super natural features through naturally available diet. They are quite familiar with the effects of steroids too but even then they are almost mad to become bigger and more vascular.
Today steroids, cycling and stacking are very common terms among sportsmen. Even a common place sportsman is familiar with these terms as these forms of using steroids have become the part of almost every player’s life. When we hear about the disastrous effects of these drugs, we think for a second but again we start the same practice as perhaps we are exceptional and bad cannot happen with us. This entire situation is alarming and it should be checked with a force. Otherwise we would be great losers.
