WTF?

lolz @ running in skate shoes & only socks on the treadmill

[King-B]

These MUST be Canadians. Very, very nerdy group of kids; not a single cool kid in there. JK.

But to be serious, I do think these kids have let their impetuousness supersede the only thing that would actually get them on the path to meaningful gains-- research! They stare at magazine ads, spend all their money on bunk supps, and all their efforts are misguided.

Anytime I see a documentary like this (young kids wanting to be "huge and ripped" with narrators almost always focusing on embarrassing catch phrases, and the like), it always seems like the subjects are so misinformed and misguided. At 16, I remember reading for hours on end about anything and everything I could find related to training and seeing actual gains. I sought verifiable and testable information. If something (i.e.- ads, fancy supps) seemed to promise unrealistic results, or in the case of Muscletech, impossible and scientifically ridiculous results, they would be quickly discarded and I'd move on. These kids seem to ask for more of it.

I feel bad these kids are making so many mistakes, and foregoing the real gains they could be getting, but I feel embarrassed at same time, because this is how my beloved lifestyle is almost always portrayed. So when some average Joe hears you are into bodybuilding, he thinks low self-esteem, inflated egos, intellectual deficiencies, and self-absorption.

[King-B]

Another huge, HUGE, problem I see is the so-called professionals who try to set these kids straight use a lot of scare tactics and misinformation. They make exaggerated claims like "a lot of people have died from steroids," and the media jumps all over it and you never see an unbiased evaluation of the lifestyle an average bb lives. They focus on showing either eager naive kids, or crazy "steroid-freaks." Why is it other professionals are held to higher standards with respect to accuracy, but some "fitness expert" can go on tv and spew out a bunch of bs regarding, not only steroids, but bodybuilding in general? And these "fitness experts" are always portrayed as knowledgeable and unbiased, while bodybuilders and bb in general is portrayed as a sport of freaks and idiots. Lame.

Wow, they're all extremely insecure. I lol'ed when it said Dalil or whatever the **** his name is went to the gym after the interview and worked out until he puked because he can't naturally obtain his goals.
"If I take all this stuff will I look like that guy (pointing at Jay Cutler)?"

Kinda makes bodybuilders in general look bad since it's geared towards them trying to resemble their IFBB idols. Plus they're going to the extreme limits by taking all these drugs (protein powder, creatine, etc).

[first_second]

Damn I only watched up to about 8 minutes and was raging so much. That guy looked like Arnold in the black and white pic.

I totally agree. Face it, most of us dedicate crazy amounts of time and energy into looking a certain way because of insecurities. Otherwise our routines would be more geared towards balance and health vs crazy size and strength.

On another note, you can pick any successfull person who is among the best in their field and you will almost always find unhealthy obsessive compulsive behaivior. You gotta be a little "sick" to achieve success in any area.

[East1600plus]

dude what...

[AnimalSquabbles]

That was ridiculous. That dude was talking about how Abil was taking all these "drugs" like protein and creatine but he can't take them forever and once he stops he'll be ruined...... aHAHAHAHAhHAhahahah WTF????!?!? The fact that they made it seem like girls don't like fit bodies is ridiculous... Pope John Paul probably had a good personality but I never seen a girl with his picture on the wall...

Also that bald headed kid was a phag and dumb as phuck... 1 raw egg white????? Pfffftttt ahahahaahahahahaha 3gs of protein YEAH BUDDY!!!!!

Although this film was hard to watch without avoiding the constant cheese factor of it, the overall experience was refreshing in a way.

I really enjoyed the final teen that was talking on there about not giving into his major concerns with how people view his body. He was the deepest out of all of them and his words really struck a chord with me. He who is one with themselves spiritually, will find happiness. Use the mind to make the body healthy.. right mindset, expanding the mind to get the right knowledge and using it to be healthy and happy. True body image is to live healthy and be happy. Live a long time. True words.

Strong gold jewelry on the 1 kid

[pedro0100]

They interviewed a bunch of kids with no bodybuilding genetics. It does bring up the question though, what motivates you to make gains, but these kids have it all wrong.

And I seriously doubt that that one kid's girl left him cause he wasn't ripped enough. Unless he was dating way out of his league

[Hardcore2000]

LOl at the kid wanting to be 155 lbs..thats a good weight to be at..if your a woman!!

[Hardcore2000]

Poor kid spent all that money on bs supplements..LMAO how do they say?There's a sucker born every minute.

I actually cringed when I saw that part. He really could have hurt himself standing up like that trying to pull a truck. Not only was he using bad form but he's not even strong enough to budge it. They could have left that part out of the film. It accomplished nothing.

But I too found it very interesting.

[N54]

This video is hilarious.

Edit: lol at no progress whatsoever in 8 months

Yeah, but he was a fat kid so it's normal that he wanted to be leaner, just like the skinny ones try to be as big as they can.

There are several IFBB Pro Bodybuilders who put raw eggs in their protein shakes. I even do it and the body will absorb it and use it as protein source.

I agree with you that one of the many crazy things about this film is that this guy is only using ONE egg white as his source of "cheap protein". If he's lifting weights that one little raw egg white isn't going to be much of nothing for his protein intake. What he's doing is laughable but sad too.
