'recent survey has shown that men, too, are now suffering from poor body image and are hooked on attaining the 'body beautiful''
'as many as one in five of the men questioned believed they did not have enough muscle bulk'
'problem stems from images portrayed in men's fitness magazines'
'many professional models use chemical enhancements, such as steroids and creatine to gain their bulk'
'men who take steroids are unaware of the health risks and many take them within first getting medical advice or supervision'
'short term, their use can lead to acne, mood swings, paranoia and depression'
'the longer you use such drugs, the greater the risk of liver failure or heart attacks'
'creatine is considered unsafe by many health professionals as it can cause massive dehydration'
Hugh Craig: professional personal trainer
'there is much more pressure now for men to build up their bodies'
'this can lead to low self-esteem, and even muscle dysmorphia, an obsession whereby physically healthy men have a distorted view of their own body and believe their muscles are too small or underdeveloped'
