these are the guys that have the most respect in the old days in bodybuilding

Frank Zane
Arnold Scharzanegger
Steve Reeves

these are the 3 main people that were highly respected in the early days of steriod use for bodybuilding. These dudes had great body's they looked natural and not the over top monster ones you see winning mr olympia these days/.

the olympics in the starting days

i could talk about how the Olympics, when it first started. and how no steroids where around until the 60's and 70's and countries really started competing with other countries to have the best most strongest athletes.

i can also then talk about how dianabol started the steroid scene and made film celebrities out of people like Arnold Schwarzenegger and others. So there is alot i can talk about on the Olympic scene and steroid use.

some really nice research help from my friend at work.

my colleague at work gave me some things i should take a look at for my research.

Muscle, smoke and mirrors ( Randy Roach ) Book

This is all thanks to Doug at work - this guy really knows his stuff about bodybuilding.

My plan so far.

CHAPTER 1 - background - origins - uses and how they have devloped to today.
a) how steriods came about, who made made (companies). most popular steriods. the steriod black market. side effects. the pro's and cons of steriod use. How steriods can help users.

CHAPTER 2 - Athletics - primary research interviews. - how steriods increase performance in athletics. the laws of steriod use in athletics. Dwaine chambers - linford christie. research into documentries.

CHAPTER 3 - The body beatiful. - Research into men/women how steriods effects them both. - side effects. pro hormones. perscription steriods. How the media change peoples views on steriods, when them selves dont know the truth.

So this is my chapter layout so far. will have changes as i start it next term. But so far looking good. ill see what liz thinks when i next see her.

My dissertation lead question....

Are Steriods worth it?, and has it effected Athletics and the Body beautiful in the modern world.

So thanks to Liz i managed to get a title done. Im so happy now as before i really didnt know what i was doing or where my dissertation was heading in. The reason why i wanted to do a disseration on steriods is becuase im very intrested in them. I want to find out more of the truth about them to. I train myself alot in the gym so i think i will be happy to write about this subject alot.

Where as before i was going to do it in my subject area on games, about how games addiction is related to other addictions such as smokeing, drugs or alchohol.

But this kinda thing has been done so many times. and im sure people are sick of reading about it. so instead i wanted to write about something that i was actualy intrested in.
