Athletes are pushing back against an emerging bodybuilding industry that has been fueled by products such as muscle building supplements.
A growing body of scientific research suggests these supplements can cause harm, including cancer and birth defects.
But bodybuilding and other bodybuilding products also claim to help people build muscle, and there are hundreds of companies that make and sell them.
A number of companies are pushing the health and safety of their products, which are sometimes marketed as “supplements” or “building blocks” and sometimes as dietary supplements.
There are also products with questionable ingredients.
Bodybuilding, a highly competitive sport, is a sport that demands a body that is strong and flexible.
It’s also a bodybuilding subculture that has its own set of rules about the amount of muscle, fat and muscle building that can be done.
The sport’s governing body, the International Association of Bodybuilding and Fitness, says that for all the controversy surrounding supplements, the sport is actually very safe and that supplements do not cause health problems.
“The only real health risks associated with supplements are those caused by over-the-counter medications, including those made by pharmaceutical companies,” says Mike Johnson, the president of the International Bodybuilding Federation.
“For that reason, no supplements should be used as a first line of defense against any medical condition or disease.”
But some bodybuilding enthusiasts, including some of the world’s top bodybuilders, say there’s no way to prove that supplements don’t cause problems.
Some bodybuilders claim they have no choice but to consume supplements.
“You’ve got to get it.
You can’t just say, ‘Hey, I’ve got a good workout and I want to do it,'” says Michael Spivey, who runs a body building club in Vancouver.
“It’s very difficult to make a good choice because I think there are a lot of people who don’t know that they’re doing it wrong.”
Spiveies is one of many bodybuilders who say the supplements are a waste of money and that they don’t benefit their bodies.
“When I started doing this, I would spend a lot more money on supplements than I do now,” he says.
“They just make you look better.”
Bodybuilding has become a lucrative industry, with more than 200 million people worldwide competing for an estimated $5 billion annually.
For years, bodybuilding has been viewed as a sport with a strict dietary code.
The rules are strictly enforced, and athletes must adhere to strict nutrition guidelines and follow strict training protocols.
It is believed that most bodybuilders are at least moderately physically fit, and many also have a high-functioning genetic brain.
They must also follow strict rules about what they can eat, drink and wear during competitions.
But the rules can be difficult to follow, and sometimes are more stringent than others.
In some cases, it is even against the law to compete if you have been prescribed supplements.
In a survey by the Canadian Association of Professional Bodybuilders in 2016, nearly half of the athletes surveyed said they would cheat if given the chance.
“I would cheat.
I’m a cheater,” said one of the survey participants, who asked that his name not be used for fear of reprisal.
“If I could, I’d be one of those people who would take steroids, but I wouldn’t do that.”
And despite the rules, athletes sometimes go overboard with supplements.
Last year, two Canadian bodybuilders won the world championships for the first time in bodybuilding history.
“People are so focused on their nutrition and training and they’re so focused to look like they’re ready to compete, but they’re not,” said Spiveys former bodybuilder teammate.
“There are a couple of guys that have been doing steroids for years, and they’ve done so much to look good that I don’t think they’re going to be able to compete at all.”
The supplements are often marketed as a way to build muscle or get a more intense workout.
But a growing body.
of scientific studies indicates these supplements are not safe.
A study in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism found that a study of bodybuilders showed that most of the supplements they were taking did not actually work to help the body build muscle.
The study, led by researchers from the University of Calgary and the University Health Network, looked at nearly 1,500 bodybuilders and found that only a small percentage of the bodybuilders actually had an improvement in their performance, but some did see improvements.
In another study, a study by the University and McGill Universities, researchers looked at more than 4,000 bodybuilders from around the world.
They found that just 5 percent of the subjects tested showed any kind of measurable improvement in muscle size, strength or performance.
In fact, a lot fewer of the people had seen any improvements at all.
The researchers also found that the supplements could increase the risk of heart disease, diabetes and other health problems
