Anabolic Life

Anabolic Life is about a young man who desperately struggles with his own body-image. Regardless of his steady job, beautiful fiance, and new home, he hates what he sees in the mirror. Battling demons and delusions, his emotional and psychological struggle continues on a downward spiral. He decides that building muscle is his only solution. After researching quick muscle-building tips, Adam stumbles across how to make and use Fina (steroids). Next thing you know, he’s shooting home-made steroids and develops a needle-related infection and ends up in the hospital. Unfortunately, almost losing his life doesn’t end his amateur steroid use. Instead, he encounters a dealer at the gym who takes him under his wing. Adam proceeds down a twisted path of self-destruction and is about to lose everything, including himself unless he comes to terms with his illness. Will he have the strength to fight back?
