Discuss.
Refuse to provide cliffs, just read the whole thing to embrace the full buffoonery of it.
many lulz were had
Read the article... I don't see a problem with teenagers wanting to get into shape. Sure [i]some[/i] people will get pressured into using steroids, but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing for others to want to pursue a lifestyle of fitness.

Lol exactly. The article kinda has a point in a sense but they clearly have no idea about basic nutrition. This kinda crap is going out to the general public who will read this and become even less knowledgable about healthy living. When I was a teenager I was smoking weed, drinking beer and destroying my brain, apparently going to the gym couple times a week is much more dangerous.
Well, it's definitely a sensationalist piece.

hello everyone,
I am a firm believer in holistic medicine and the power of yoga and it is my personal belief that one can attain strength and health through these two things my son, however, does not think similarly. he is on a work-out program called "starting lifts" that is extremely dangerous: they use a barbell with very heavy weights and then do excercises that can destroy the back and knees (for example, one he calls the deathlift) well, I am unable to convince him to stop this crazy program. my problem is I caught him taking the steroid "creatine" yesterday after his work-out. I snatched the container away from him and told his father later that evening, who agreed with me that we had to stage an intervention. I honestly do not know what I should do next. does he have to be sent to a rehabilitation center? I am not familiar with steroids and how abusers make recovery.
thank you very much,
Tina

Lol I found that comment, another golden quote from that same comment.
"he is on a work-out program called "starting lifts" that is extremely dangerous: they use a barbell with very heavy weights and then do excercises that can destroy the back and knees (for example, one he calls the death lift)"
Gotta hate those death lifts kids are doing these days.

Sounds like a miscer at work to me.
I like how this article casually mixes steroids with protein bars and creatine. You would think journalist posting in Health section would have more clue than that.

ic. well, have to say i thought it was serious till I saw that word lol.

It's just a scare article. It has been wrote to scare parents and it wouldn't surprise me if the person who wrote it knew it was complete BS.
I knew it. The monster that is creatine is slowly destroying this generations future. Finally an article exposing the dangers and seriousness of this epidemic.
I can't believe they actually published that craap. It was like something I'd expect to find in a college or highschool paper. Lost respect for the ny times
[QUOTE=Holowitz;981625533] Lost respect for the ny times[/QUOTE]
more surprised you had it in the first place. one step away from tabloids as far as i'm concerned. also, close to BK
anyone else find it creepy how they keep saying "boys"? wtf man. an 18 year old is not a boy. sounds all jerry sandusky if you ask me.
Startribune here in Minneapolis has an articel about Teens wanting to get buff being bad:

OK a-holes.....which is it? Do you want kids to be fit or not........? WTF?
...and this is why we don't take fitness advice from the New York Times. WTF. /rage
