For Some, Summertime Means Sand, Surf and Steroid Abuse

Former "skinny guy" urges "hard gainers" to build muscle safely without steroids or illegal drugs.

July 20, 2006

With the thermometer skyrocketing and beaches packed, the summer is "officially" here. Unfortunately, according to muscle gain expert Anthony Ellis, "It's also the season for steroid abuse." Ellis is referring to the hundreds and thousands of weight-challenged men who he fears will try and pump up fast for beach season.

The unhealthy quest for a healthy-looking body isn't limited to men, Ellis acknowledges, noting "a heavy reliance on crash diets" instead of a year-round regimen of good food and exercise." But his greater concern at this time is "the men, especially the young men, who want to look big and buff in a matter of weeks and will be abusing steroids as a way to achieve the body they want."

Steroid users became victims of what some call "bigorexia." Like anorexia, it revolves around a distorted body image. When users are off the drug, they perceive their bodies as "withering away" says Ellis. "They think that they look terrible…which, of course, isn't true." So, as their bodies return to pre-steroid proportions, "abusers become obsessed with literally regaining what they've lost," he explains.

So begins a on-again/off-again cycle that doesn't seem like addiction, but is. "And it's deadly," Ellis says emphatically. "Young men will be 'dying to look good' this summer, and that's a tragedy."

A self-proclaimed "average guy" who was "fed up with being a 135-pound weakling getting sand kicked in my face," Ellis was able to achieve a miraculous transformation of his own body…without steroids. Instead of taking the easy road and succumbing to the lure of the "magic pill," Ellis studied, did research, tested and re-tested, and ultimately created a system that worked for him…and now works for others.

His program consists of all-natural, muscle-gaining techniques and strategies exclusively for people who have trouble with weight gain.

At the core of the program he created, Ellis says weight-challenged individuals can find "sane, rational, total-health-oriented ideas" on how to structure a diet to keep fat gain to an absolute minimum. He offers insights on what nutritional supplements actually work for gaining mass, and even the best time to eat to increase muscle and minimize fat gain. Gaining Mass! also addresses the best way to train and which exercises to avoid when training.

And for busy people who say, "I don't have time," Ellis offers a way to structure a training routine that can reduce gym time and increase results. His "mission," as he likes to call it is to "make hard-gainers into hard-bodies who can keep it up -- their weight, I mean -- and do it safely, for life!"

Ellis notes that "the media is saturated with weight-loss news and information," but laments the lack of solid information for people on the other side of the spectrum. And while there will be "plenty of coverage on how sunburns can contribute to cancer, you're not going to hear a lot about the unhealthy things people are doing to gain weight."

Ellis believes this "media bias" makes hard-gainers feel "marginalized…as though there's nothing out there for them." It's this marginalization, Ellis says, that can be a key factor in pushing people to search for "black market solutions" to their problems.

"I want to help young men…and everyone else…who might be struggling the way I was achieve the same results that I have without putting their lives at risk," Ellis explains. "I want them to know they're not alone in their struggle and they won't have to struggle forever."

Ellis notes that his is not the only success story owed to the weight gain system he developed. "There are more than 80,000 healthy fitness fans over 110 countries worldwide that have changed their bodies and their lives" he reports. "And I'm sharing the good news with as many people as I can."

Ellis has created an eye-opening 5-part report on healthy muscle gain to help educate consumers…especially young men pressured into steroid use. "Learn What You must Know to Build Muscle and Gain Weight Fast!" is a free instant download available only at: www.FastMuscleGain.com
