I watched a bit of this today, mostly to relive some of my youth, and although it’s a pretty good show and fun to wax nostalgic, there is some real sideways info about steroid use. Things like;
-HGH is technically an undetectable steroid.
- In a few short months you can turn from a 98 pound weakling into a He-Man.
-When you take exogenous testosterone, your body compensates by MAKING estrogen en mass.

And they insinuate that juicing turns anyone into an angry yet muscle-laden beast. I’m baffled by the inaccuracies and irresponsibility of the producers of the show.
There are other things that seemed off, like how the show producers were “concerned” about their steroid use, when I imagine they likely encouraged it - wanting their gladiators to be as big as possible. I mean, you’ve seen the women right? They were all gassed up, full of the gears!
