He got up at four o'clock. Out into the hallway of his home in the dark and headed for the refrigerator. Groping his two bananas looking to start their routine. While eating, I remembered the words of his nutritionist: "at night, the body goes into a total destructive metabolism of proteins." Back to bed, but not by much, and jumped eight mattress. This time, he and his body is preparing to eat a bowl of cereal with milk along with a squeezed juice and two slices of black bread integral. All topped, of course, with three or four egg whites. Hence, to the gym for an hour and a half years, but not before eating a cheese sandwich.
At 11, he prepared a plate of ravioli with olive oil. A couple of hours later, two steak and salad lunch. Before 3 pm, returning to train for another hour and a half. At tea time, tea time with: it was served a pint of milk in a blender and, between sips, biting a piece of banana. Later, at 19:30, took a soup of rice with two eggs. Then, the last rush at the gym until he completes his daily training routine. Exhausted, he came home hungry and thirsty: a chicken breast dinner with salad, drank water and put the watch at four in the morning. David Fernandez lived
So (34) while preparing to compete in the bodybuilding world, his dream since he started at age 21 going to the gym. In this bastion of free weights and machines, spent four to five hours every day, except Sundays. Conducted three one-hour daily workouts and a half. However, more and sacrifice could not resist. Three years ago took off the competition and decided to open his own gym in the neighborhood of Martinez. Now he trains, yes, but not crazy. Would rather make your exercise routine to their customers. For him, vigorexia is not a disease. He argues that those who speak out against the culture of the body, they do so envy. "I would like to ask all those people criticizing bodybuilders if they would like to have a body like that when are on the beach, "he adds.
But what is the vigorexia? The vigorexia is a disorder where people engage in sports on an ongoing basis with a high fanaticism, to the point of constantly testing your body no matter the consequences. There are some who are just looking vigoréxicos perfect figure influenced by current models proposed by the consumer society. Other, athletes, want to be the best in their discipline demanding the most of your body to reach its goal. The sports exercise addicts regardless of weather conditions, or if you feel any discomfort or ill, about to get angry and feel guilty when they can not do it successfully or someone criticizes such activity.
Generally, these people have low self-esteem and very difficult to integrate into their usual social activities. They are rejected or withdrawn and have trouble accepting their body image. His obsession with the body shares many features with anorexia in women.
When a person practices a sport to strenuous, the body begins to produce a substance called endorphins, which relieve symptoms of fatigue. This allows the body to continue to work longer. Endorphins are a group of hormones produced by the body itself as a defense mechanism against various stimuli. As time passes, it requires an increasing amount to bear the pain, which leads to serious consequences. All this leads to the development of a true addiction to the endorphins.
The main consequences that brings vigorexia are numerous physical problems and injuries that occur when the sport is over. Moreover, the disproportion between the body parts are very common, for example, a voluminous body relating to the size of the head. Overload in the gym weight adversely affects the bones, tendons, muscles and joints, causing chronic tears and sprains. Diet is another very common and important problem, as they consume lots of protein and carbohydrates and too little of fat in an attempt to promote an increase in muscle mass. This will cause terrible metabolic disorders. Finally, the use of anabolic steroids is also associated with the vigorexia, for the intent of the person to improve their physical performance and increase the volume of your muscles. Nestor
Street Athletic Club deportólogo Platense, anabolic defines as "substances used to develop fully the use of proteins in the body, a core component for the growth of muscles, bones and skin. They improve muscle mass and body size from the aesthetic point of view, not of the sport. "
Hernández began using anabolic eight years ago to "have a high physical performance and muscle growth important," he says. He adds: "Competing in bodybuilding today is very difficult without using these drugs, because it takes a very large amount of testosterone that the body does not have." Testosterone is a hormone secreted by the testis that determines the appearance and maintenance of physical and psychological traits characteristic of males. According
Street, 90% of boys who use anabolic not consulted one doctor. Simply rely on the popular reference that these substances improve the physical condition of a person. We report on the subject over the Internet, where sites are underground, they explain how, why care should take and how much can be taken. "This is very dangerous, because the Web get a bunch of people claiming to be body builder and there is no idea or pharmacology. That is, does not possess the ability to recommend someone or cycle plan that will be useful, "says Hernandez.
reference to the effects that the use of anabolic steroids, the deportólogo was clear: "Their use in a controlled manner and not excessive, does not cause any kind of aggression or disorder. Used sprees can lead to disruption of the proteins in a not very pleasant. " And he insists: "The excessive consumption of these substances has a lot to do with the social status of a person. In a family where there is a constant dialogue, surely the teenager did not take anabolic without consulting with a doctor who will guide you if you are unable or unwilling to consume, and it will recommend a given cycle. In contrast, in a lower social status is very difficult to target adolescents, since it has a more precarious training and contact with parents is nil. "
These substances are used by consuming a dose which varies according to physical activity that you develop. A bodybuilder takes 20 to 80 milligrams per day, dividing the dose throughout the day. The consumer can not take all of the full dose in one shot because it can have adverse consequences. "A client of mine, an adult of 38 years who used anabolic quite some time, little by little began to exceed the plan. Furthermore, taking the full daily dose just before the exercises. Anabolic I ate the bowel wall and had five cracks bowel. He was hospitalized for a month now and can not train anymore in his life, "says Hernández. Street
clarifies that "counter to what is said, anabolics are not addictive. However, as with any medication you take, you can not stop using them immediately, but it is left with cycles in the amount of effects it causes. If the person taking a drug and does not respect these cycles can produce damage to muscle mass, a kind of withdrawal, impaired heart and feel with depressive disorders. A anabolic must be stopped gradually. "
Anabolic may eventually cause death because you have to keep in mind that not everyone can consume. Those who suffer from diabetes or have heart problems are completely forbidden to consume. Also, many times are usually mixed with corticosteroids (steroids), which are another class of anabolic hormone synthesizing, and energy components. "All combined with some type of drug is never positive, since it can cause heart disease, depression and anxiety," says Street.
In general, anabolic used by people who do body building, and also for adolescents confused with energizing substances, which are two totally different things. "Most kids are in danger, because many times the consumption of anabolic is the next step to the use of other drugs higher, "says the deportólogo. David Hernandez performs
regular medical studies to control the harmful effects of these substances. "While studies continue to give me good, I'll keep using anabolic steroids. Anyway, is that after 40, things began to unravel, and that man is more likely to have prostate cancer and anabolic stimulate it, "he says. However, the paradise of the body has a little hell. After eight years of consumption, had serious implications for the use of these drugs. Have very high level of libido, testicular problems, from premature and aggressiveness, are part of the side affects typical consumer of these drugs. Hernández
looks up. Rolls up his shirt. The metallic clink of weights seems to call it. Decides to terminate the interview leave with a very strong handshake. It turns around, takes the weight and lift 100 kilos as if it were a feather. "One," he says and spits out through your mouth. "Two", and repeat the sequence ... "Trees." "Cuuaatro." "Ciinncoo." "Seeiiiss. "Siieeteee" ...
