The more fair and objective part of this film lies in the middle part, where some different opinions on hormones are edited together to form a debate atmosphere. But in the first half and the second half, it's just a group of diaosi's complaints, full of subjective assumptions and prejudices.
This film is like a diaosi's vent, the logic is:
——Schwarzenegger took hormones and became a bodybuilding champion, an actor, a politician, and a success
-and those of us took hormones and became now In this way, we have failed in life, failed in our careers, someone's dream of going to WWE has persisted for more than ten years and it has not been realized
- this TM is not fair!
- This TM is not fair!
——This is still TMD unfair!
What is diaosi, diaosi is to find reasons only from external factors.
1. Digression about muscle
building First of all, I would like to say some digressions. Ordinary people have a big misunderstanding about fitness and muscle building. I don’t know what the state is in the United States, but anyway, in China, When others hear fitness and muscle gain, they immediately think of "Oh, you don't want to become a muscle man, it's terrible" "I won't go, it's not good to gain too much muscle".
In fact, many "muscle men" have a lot of muscles when they take off their clothes, but they may not be able to see after wearing clothes. Those are mostly lighting effects and the skills they show. There is also a fitness athlete, the weight and muscle of the season and the non-season are also very different, and the general gap is about 15KG.
Muscles are hard to develop. Muscles are not something that you can gain if you want to. This depends on sweat + time + money. Specifically, it is continuous training + high-protein basic diet + a certain amount of supplements. In fact, the gap between ordinary bodybuilders and the explosive muscular men on the posters in the book is the basic diet and supplements.
In terms of basic diet, it is necessary to eliminate refined grains such as rice, noodles, and steamed bread as much as possible, and use coarse grains such as potatoes, corn, and sorghum instead. Meat should be low-fat and high-protein, and fish and chicken breasts should be strictly controlled. Egg whites, drink plenty of water. Guaranteed to be high in protein, low in fat, and low in carbohydrates.
There are many kinds of supplements, and the one that can be basically determined to be harmless is ordinary protein powder, which is the most basic supplement. This stuff is still a very high-end thing for many people in China, but in Europe and the United States, it is a very cheap thing that can be bought casually in supermarkets. Foreign protein powder is mostly a by-product of cheese processing, and it was abandoned just a century ago because it did not know what to do. However, the sales of cheese in my country is not high, and there are few fitness people, so domestic protein powder is more expensive than imported.
Then there are some supplements that are not sure whether they have side effects on the human body. Such ordinary bodybuilders rarely use them, but now they are more common in the Chinese supplement market. For example, creatine does not increase muscle, but increases muscle strength. In fact, the essence is to inject water into the muscles. If you don’t eat for a period of time, the muscles will fall off. This is basically what fitness athletes use to improve muscle mass during the competition.
Finally, there are steroid products that very few people use. That is, the "hormone" in the narrow sense that the film has been talking about.
Therefore, with the diet of the vast majority of people, even if they train in the gym in the most scientific and efficient way for ten years, they will not be able to catch up with professional bodybuilders.
And people who meet the standards of diet does not mean that they can gain muscles like professional fitness exercises. Look at the terrible examples in the film-in my opinion, professional fitness depends on 50% of diet + 20 % Skill + 20% Hard Training + 10% Genes. Building muscle, fitness, this is a technical job, not a strength job.
and! The criterion for judging fitness competitions is not who is stronger or who is bigger, but the degree of muscle separation. What is the degree of muscle separation? That is, when you show your muscles, your muscles can be shown to the audience like an anatomical map, and each of your muscle judges can be clearly seen, instead of being kneaded into sections like ordinary people.
The indignant middle-aged man in the film, what he pursues, deviates from the original intention of fitness. He's out of shape just because he's only looking for strength, not size. What he pursues is the growth of the three indicators of hard bench press, deadlift and squat. Of course, there are children's shoes who told me that he didn't pursue a healthy body at all...
Hehehehe... So what is this person complaining about in the film? "Why did he take hormones to grow like that? And I became like this?" "Why did he succeed and I couldn't?"
So let's see why.
2. Then let's see how others have succeeded and how Schwarzenegger
trained Eat." Then the film begins to criticize Schwarzenegger harshly. Taken out of context, Spring and Autumn Brushwork.
How did Schwarzenegger train? What is the real situation like?
In fact, in the era when Schwarzenegger started fitness, there was no "gym" and what is now called a "fitness coach", let alone the fitness industry. Basically, people on earth are still in a state of little understanding of muscles, and most of the "knowledge" is prejudice. Athletes generally don't do muscle training because doctors and they agree that it will reduce their speed and endurance.
The reason why Schwarzenegger practiced this was entirely out of his own interest, because one day he saw a very powerful brother... I wanted to practice like him, so... In "Schwarzenegger Fitness Book" There are records of its detailed fitness methods, twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. Now it is called the "dichotomy". In fact, it was invented by Schwarzenegger. Six days a week, every muscle in the arms, chest, shoulders, waist, hips, legs and back is exercised. Three times, the madness of the training really amazes me. During the most recent military service, he did not give up this exercise, because the army had to get up at 5 o'clock to gather, so he secretly got up at 4 o'clock every day to practice independently for an hour by himself.
Of course, in addition to hard training, there are a lot of gradually groping techniques, and learning from mistakes (of course, every bodybuilder does). Muscle growth and body shaping is definitely a technical activity, and its knowledge is so great that it is impossible to figure it out in a year or two. It will not be expanded here. I used to have no feelings for Schwarzenegger. Later, after I started working out and bought his book, I really admired this person. Not only perseverance, but there are too many people with perseverance. I also admire Schwarzenegger's brain. It can be seen from his book that he can also make achievements in other industries by studying this aspect of fitness.
Pull away. Continue the topic.
Later, there were some fitness competitions in the United States, only a few a year, and he participated. And the prize money for these games is only a few thousand or two or three thousand dollars. To say that he is exercising for fame and fortune like the muscular man in this film who practiced his muscles and lost his shape, then I don't believe it.
I just wanted to say so much... what? hormone? Yes, hormones. So do you think that just taking hormones and sitting there will get you the muscle you want? Do not TM crooked.
- "Hormone? Of course, I eat." What is the truth? The truth is that in the days of Schwarzenegger's training, steroids were not contraband, and no one had a concrete understanding of the effects of steroids. Schwarzenegger took steroids under the advice of a doctor. And he also said later that he did not approve of the use of steroids by athletes. Nor does it address or recommend the use of steroids for bodybuilders' supplements in the book.
And I believe that Schwarzenegger did not need steroids to get the title of World Fitness Man (he did it six times that year). Of course, history has no assumptions.
3. What about the ban? What if it's not banned?
This film is a good documentary to give us a glimpse into the state of hormone use in the United States, but its perspective is subjective and full of prejudice. Bodybuilding has indeed developed abnormally in the United States, and it is also a product of a deformed atmosphere. This kind of atmosphere is that everyone wants to become stronger and bigger faster, and those who succeed have to swallow the bitter fruit of hormones silently; and when they fail, they blame those who succeed for giving them such bad role model. Originally fitness is a very sunny and active activity. After this film, it is estimated that it will add a lot of negative impressions to fitness.
There are so many full texts, I just want to say that they all take hormones, why is there such a big gap between the middle-aged man in the film and Schwarzenegger, or the brother who shot the commercial?
When Schwarzenegger was working out, there was no specialized supplement manufacturer in the United States. He made his own protein drink and drank it, which was amazing. Later bodybuilders had better diets and more supplements than they did back then, and their training effects were definitely better than Schwarzenegger. However, since bodybuilding competitions are horizontal comparisons rather than vertical comparisons, when everyone around you is When taking hormones to achieve more, you have to take it if you want to be successful.
——You can attribute it to the deformity of the entire competitive environment, you can also blame it, you can criticize it, these are all right and not wrong. But that's not your excuse for failing your business and your life. Because people who also use hormones are not qualified to say this.
4. The prejudiced
wrestlers in this movie are selected into WWE, not because WWE sees how much hormones you take, how much muscle you have, but other factors (though I don't know what that is).
The bodybuilding competition is not about how much muscle you take and how much muscle you have, but about the coordination of your body and the separation of your muscles with the largest possible muscles. Hormones are also not the deciding factor.
A person's life failure and career success, hormones are not the decisive factor.
This film is right to criticize the abuse of hormones in the United States, and the deformity of the entire playing field. But its prejudice is that hormones are the deciding factor in everything. Blame those who have had success with hormones in the past. This is actually an unbalanced mentality.
