History and Morality of Steroids Part 2

Mind Muscle with Simon de Veer

Ready to challenge your understanding of morality? We tackle the intricate issue of performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) in our frank discussion on the Mind Muscle Podcast. We turn the spotlight on a wide spectrum of contexts where PEDs come into play, from the medical realm to the sporting world, and even among your favorite influencers.
Ever wondered where the line is drawn between fair play and foul in professional sports when PEDs come into the picture? We dissect notorious cases like the 1988 Olympic Ben Johnson scandal to shed light on this complex issue. On a lighter note, we switch gears to address a common gym etiquette issue - the overuse of double cable bicep curls. If you're keen on maintaining a respectful environment in the gym while still having an effective bicep workout, we've got some great alternatives for you.
We wrap things up by examining the rising trend of influencers being transparent about their PED use. The question is, does this honesty make a positive impact? And what does it say about the general population's use of PEDs? With a judicious lens, we invite you to join us in scrutinizing these multifaceted issues, keeping an open mind, and staying informed. After all, knowledge is power - in this case, the power to navigate through the intricacies of morality. Join us as we embark on this explorative journey together.
