Ben Pollack Talks PED Use and Side Effects on Recent Mark Bell Podcast

Ben Pollack opens up about PED usage on recent Mark Bell podcast.

Ben Pollack joined Mark Bell on his podcast to discuss PED usage and it’s side effects. The two went in depth about the truth and ramifications of using anabolic substances.

When an athlete decides to participate in a competitive sport their ultimate goal is to win. To put yourself through a grueling training camp, sacrifice your time, put in continuous effort and not get a victory can be a crushing ordeal. It can be not only physically demanding, but mentally taxing as well. So it comes as no surprise that some athletes will turn to performance enhancing drugs.

PEDs have a negative stigma in the court of public opinion. Many consider taking performance enhancers or steroids as cheating. But in certain circles taking such substances isn’t as frowned upon. In strength sports like powerlifting, bodybuilding, and strongman competition, the use of anabolic substances isn’t at all uncommon.

Still, the subject is a sensitive one which many athletes refuse to touch upon. But not powerlifter Mark Bell and fellow strength athlete Ben Pollack.
