Once on the Internet forum where bodybuilders such as Muscular Development and Bodybuilding.com gather, it was possible to interact with professional and amateur bodybuilders casually. The forum provided information on proper weight training and how to safely use anabolic steroids as a muscle-building agent, but it was said that there were a lot of jerks and lures to other users.
Since the 1990s, when the bodybuilder's forum was in place, individuals who are familiar with muscles and nutrition have published articles on steroids and the like on the Internet. 'In the 1990s, when these news items were released, researchers and close people are independently exploring their own research and nutrition related to steroids, and it is certainly the golden age,' said American supplement company Redcon1. CEO Aaron Singerman says.
At that time, Anthony Roberts, who had published an article for bodybuilders, said, “Steroids users wanted to talk about steroids with store clerks and bodybuilding associates, but in reality such nonsense was impossible ' However, in fact, steroid users had a tendency to talk with someone about steroids.

Along with the development of the Internet, in addition to viewing information on personal web pages, a forum for bodybuilders to gather has been developed. This created a space for bodybuilders to talk to each other, but at the same time, it seems that exchanges of slander and bad mouth have also increased dramatically.
In the forum, racist remarks and simple defamation, and even the act of exposing personal information of quarrel opponents were widespread. “A racist writing was not uncommon,” said Brandon Edwards, an African-American bodybuilder and now a supplement sales company. In particular, “I was not particularly interested in bodybuilding,” he said, in fact, he often wrote dirty by people who were not interested in bodybuilding.
Also, Singerman was one of the few people who started using his real name early on in those bodybuilding forums. Mr. Singerman was hoping to get a connection with the supplement industry by daringly unveiling his real name, but because the last name 'Singerman' is Jewish, people by forum users soon It is said that it has become the subject of species discrimination remarks.
However, the forum at that time was one of the few places where you could actually interact with professional bodybuilders and coaches, 'it was an environment where conversations with top class and slander were side by side,' says Singerman. Until the mid-2000s, when SNS was developed as it is now, there is no place where top professionals and ordinary people can directly interact with each other in baseball and American football, etc. It seems that the bodybuilding world was a very special situation. Furthermore, Edwards and Singerman say that they have survived the environment at the time, or have been immune to slander and bad mouth.
Based on these testimonials, it seems that the forum at that time had a strong political tendency. However, Mr. Singerman believes that the unity of the forum has been kept by the love for steroids and that there has been no political agreement there. Among the people who participated in the forum at the time, there were those who supported the

Roberts had a chance to move on to more journalistic activities while continuing to work at the Bodybuilding Forum. This step-up also seems to have become a source of slander on the forum residents, but as Roberts's article became widely known to be useful, slander slander had decreased.
Now, professionals and top amateurs in the bodybuilding world are shifting their activities to SNS, and businesses that use bodybuilders that utilize SNS for advertising towers are already popular. Bodybuilders who use SNS for business do not swear to their followers. 'Instagram is completely different from the forum. The followers can read all of the fitness pro posts, and the posts include product promotions. On the other hand, interactive interactions are lost. 'Singerman said.'
