I've got to give a presentation on the myths and controversies of body building and I wanted you all to give me some good examples. I would like to keep the use of AS out of it so I don't look like a juiceball in front of the class. Thanks. ------------------     | ||

you could tell them that not all bodybuilders are brain dead hunks of beef, like some people think. | ||

I don't know your time frame - but if you've ever seen EAS's Body for Life video - it could probably give you a lot of filler/points. And they will mail you a copy free if you request it...... | ||

Yeah, the Body-for-Life idea's a good one...it shows that we all want to build our own "best" bodies, but not many people have the heart/dedication to do it! I know that for me, bodybuilding is a base for everything else that I do in my life...keep me organized, focused, and optimistic...knowing that only I have the ability to change my physique! ------------------ | ||

My roomate's got the body for life video, so I'll check that out. As far as time frame, it has to be between 12-15min. ------------------ | ||

I don't know how they'd take it in your lecture but what about the myth about your dick shrinking with training. You could use b4 and after pictures! hehe | ||

15 minutes is a long f---ing time to stand up there and talk! Good Luck... Here are a couple suggestions: Not too many other sports can get you an acting gig like Arnold & Lou etc... BB will be included in the next Olympics which gives it a bit more legitimacy. Major sports figures live the BB lifestyle to keep in top shape and be on top of their game (football, baseball etc...) The days of the fat lazy cop are over - most of them look like they are BB also or at least weight train. | ||

I think you could also explain that bodybuilders are not just concerned with themselves, and just because we want to have a better physique than the average person, we still have lives outside the gym. I know I once went out with a girl who used to think I was egotistical and self-centered because of my dieting and training. She would always make me feel like I was weird for eating clean, and taking time to workout on a schedule. If a girl wants a guy with a nice body(I'm beginning to wonder!) then they should respect his decision to do this with his life. Boys and girls we are in the minority with this bodybuilding shit, ain't many people strong enough for this sport. If anybody critisizes it they should try the lifestyle for a while, then they will respect us. Just emphasize that we bodybuilders are strong people in and out of the gym, in body and in mind. | ||

-Women who lift weights will turn into big burly men. -You can spot reduce your abdominal fat by doing sit ups like they do on infomercials. -You can learn everything you need to know about BB nutrition and how to apply it from your local community college nutrition class. -The biggest bodybuilders have the biggest speech impediments. -Vitamins are harmful to your health. You can get all the nutrition you need from foods. -Bodybuilders must be mean because they are so big and freaky looking. -Bodybuilders have the biggest, stinkiest gaseous expultions because they eat so much protein (oh wait, this one's not a myth according to my husbands farting schedule) | ||

Thanks JuicyGirl, it's nice to have a woman's input on this too. All of these are good examples I plan on trying to incorporate into my presentation. I think I'm also going to talk a little about overtraining and explain that you don't have to look like Ronnie Coleman to be considered a bodybuilder. ------------------ | ||

Yeah Jae, I'm not sure I could sell anyone on that being a myth. All of my boys, myself included, can't walk past a mirror or car window(those are the best) without busting a couple of poses. LOL ------------------ | ||

Ok, I decided that I am going to dissolve some of the common myths associated with AS. I wouldn't be representing what we believe in if I didn't. My brain hurts right now from working on this, so throw me some suggestions on steroid myths, this should be easier. |
