‘Body building. You look at all these super shredded, muscular people and you just assume that they’re in peak physical condition. However a lot of these people can barely run a mile or walk up a few flights of stairs, and their hearts are so enlarged from steroid usage that later in life they develop severe cardiac problems that in some cases will kill them. Also the constant gaining and losing of body mass is just very difficult for the body, messes with your joints long term. Overall just a super unhealthy way to live.’
