This week on the Liberation Wellness Hour
Randy Roach - Muscle Smoke and Mirrors - Volume 1
Fitness and Wellness expert Randy Roades speaks about the amazing history of the bodybuilding
business and how it affects our health today.
The research for this extensive, two volume project... represents a
comprehensive effort to establish a complete context from which the
sport of bodybuilding arose. "Muscle, Smoke & Mirrors" is the rise
and fall of what was truly once an extraordinary discipline associated
with a term known as "Physical Culture". Experience what bodybuilding
was originally and learn just exactly what "Physical Culture" really
is.See what growing philanthropic power flexed its financial and
political muscles to foster its corporate agenda, compromising human
health internationally.Read how the merger of technology and politics
culminated in the industrialization, commercialization, federalization,
internationalization and finally the STERILIZATION of a nation's food
supply, rendering it suspect not only to the general public; but also
to the most elite of athletes. Whether you are a novice, an elite
bodybuilder or simply sports-nutrition minded, learn how the emerging
forces of the Iron Game evolved. Ultimately, the factions of this
industry would grow powerful and manipulative while fighting for
control over the Game.It took the running of several parallel histories
on bodybuilding, nutrition, supplements and the role of drugs to offer
a complete, first-time unraveling of the web of confusion and politics
that still permeates the sport into the 21st century!Volume I of
"Muscle, Smoke & Mirrors" is truly the untold stories surrounding
"Bodybuilding's Amazing Nutritional Origins."
