Many top athletes, bodybuilders, fitness models and even celebrities are on some combination of various physique enhancing drugs. The following list is just an example of some of the drugs a typical bodybuilder might use to build muscle or reduce bodyfat. Oil based testosterone injectable Water based testosterone injectable Testosterone derivative tablets (dianabol, anadrol, anavar etc) Injectable testosterone derivatives (deca durabolin, winstrol, primobolan) Growth Hormone injection Insulin injection IGF-1 injection (insulin like growth factor) Oral clenbuterol tabs/liquid T3 (thyroid hormone) HCG (Human chorionic gonadotropin) Diuretics (oral and injectable) This is by no means a comprehensive list, but rather the most commonly used and popular ones. Bodybuilders are the extreme and set the stage for what the upper limit of use and abuse is. From there fitness/figure models, pro athletes and celebrities who use drugs will be using some lesser combination of the same drugs that bodybuilders use. This is the trickle down effect from the extreme. In todays podcast we discuss how pervasive drug use is in bodybuilding circles and how it's obscures our perception f what we think it an attainable ideal body shape, size and proportion. John P.S.

Health and Fitness are poorly defined terms and can only really make sense when you apply your own personal definition. With that said there are general definitions that most people will accept as having at least something to do with both health and fitness. Health seems to have something to do with reducing risk of premature death and disease, namely having favorable blood markers for disease such as total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, HDL/LDL ratio, Triglycerides, glucose, insulin, blood pressure and heart rate. Beyond that, reduced stress and how you feel in general are probably the most important indicators of health. Fitness on the other hand seems to refer to movement and capacity to be active. So far there isn't one measurement that indicates health AND fitness, until now. I think the Adonis Index ratio might the one measurement that indicates both health and fitness. In recent years height to waist ratio has gained favor over BMI as a better indicator of health and disease risk for lifestyle disorders such as cardiovascular disease, obesity, and diabetes. But height to waist ratio doesn't say much about fitness. I think the addition of the shoulder measurement and thus the Adonis Index ratio is a more complete measurement of both health and fitness. Having and healthy and fit body is synonymous with having a body that other people will admire. In todays podcast we discuss: 1. What health means and how we measure it 2. What fitness means and how we measure it 3. What the look of a healthy body is 4. BMI vs Height to Waist Ratio vs Adonis Index Ratio as markers of health and fitness 5. A personal health perspective vs a global health perspective 6. What to do when you've made a big time change in your health and fitness John p.s. Here is the awesome thread in the forum that we talk about in the podcast (there are multiple pages, click through to the 2nd or 3rd page for the cool before and after's). p.p.s.

There are many ways you can be defined, some of them you can't control like your height, age, race, where you were born. But there are many other things that you CAN control, like your career, education, how you conduct yourself in your relationships and your body shape. When it comes to influencing the look of your body things like your workout and your eating pattern are simply tools and not a definition of who you are, but the health diet/fitness industry try to convince you to define yourself in these terms. With a closer look you will realize that terms like "health" "nutrition" and "fitness" have no meaning without the specific meaning you give to them. Each one is a personal definition that you alone should make. In this podcast we'll discuss: 1. The definition of Health 2. The definition of Fitness 3. What defines you 4. How the 'health and fitness' industry uses ambiguity to sell you things you don't understand As long as you allow someone else to define each of these terms for you, you'll always be susceptible to another new diet or fitness marketing fad. Define yourself.
