Bigger Stronger Faster

nice. I actually watched this... great documentary.

 

I watched this a couple of months ago and I thought it was fantastic - very unbiased (you didn't watch it and immediately want to juice, nor did you watch it and think that steroids are bad for you). Chris Bell did a great job with this.

And unfortunately, Mike "Mad Dog" Bell, the older brother, died a couple of months ago in rehab. Sad story.

 

I saw this a few months ago too. Great documentary. I hadn't heard the older brother died but his issues were obvious. What was an interesting theme that came through was that most of the bodybuilder users weren't "addicts" but they were sick mentally - dysmorphia and other esteem conditions that lead them to juice. And then the economic considerations as noted by the one sports doc: if your $5mm/year career was in jeopardy and it meant saving your job and your family's stability, wouldn't you do it?

I was actually going to start another thread about how badly he shizOWN3D Carl Lewis. Perfect setup and then BAM! I'm surprised that doctor rolled on everyone.
