He was about as natural as a potato with a dick. He used to come to Bill Pearls gym in Pasadena in the mid to late 70's with a boat load of crap from Europe trying to get rid of it. I was there. Bill didn't know a thing but I do know if he found out Nubret would have been a bloody stump!!

LOL, that's right, Nubret had a rep in the 70's as being the European pharmaceutical connection!  It was even all over the mags back in the day (Except Weider's mags of course).  And now apparently he's trying to rewrite history.  LOL again.

You and I need to have a competition...

"Strongest Natural on GetBig"

...whaddya think? I'd say you have me on upper body (bench, curls etc), reckon I could take you in the lower body (squats, deadlifts). Though I reckon we're both on a par with Reeves at least strength wise.

I'll see if I can compress avi files on my computer to post some lifts.

BDJ: Could you relay your own experience with drug use?


Sergio Olivia: This is an area of great interest for people. I don't care who wants to take steroids, because that's a personal choice... that's his life. Now, today, everybody has access to them. I even saw in one of the big magazines that Arnold denies having used them, but Arnold was one of the first to bring steroids over to America. And everybody in the old days used them: Zane, Columbu, myself, Arnold, Larry Scott, Harold Poole, Dave Draper, and even Steve Reeves. There's no way to deny it. It wasn't much, nothing like today. But the development of drugs is much different. I used decca and dianabol, and that was something really big at the time; and decca was not considered that bad. It was even prescribed by doctors to help make your bones strong. Today you have guys weighing 200 pounds, and six months later they weigh 250-300 pounds! So you know these guys are taking something unbelievable. When they say they haven't taken any thing, you know that it's phony.

 FITNESS TIPS FOR 7/8/2004         
________________________ ____________________

Steve Reeves Workout - How Steve Reeves Trained

Steve Reeves had a classic physique body that is still admired
to this day. To many it is still the greatest physique of all time.
What's even more impressive is that Steve won the Mr. America,
Mr. World, and Mr. Universe titles without ever using steroids.

His top form measurements were:

height 6'1"
weight 215lb
shoulder breadth 23 1/2 in
neck 18 1/4 in
chest 52 in
waist 29 in
hips 38 in
biceps 18 1/4 in
forearms 14 3/4 in
wrist 7 1/4 in
thigh 26 in
calf 18 1/4 in
ankle 9 1/4 in.

Note that his calf, biceps and neck are the same measurement. He
did this deliberately based on the concept of Grecian ideal
proportions.

He also worked to get his shoulders as wide as possible and his
waist as small as possible in order to exaggerate his upper
body width. He didn't do shrugs or side bends as he thought large
traps took away from the visual illusion of shoulder width and
large obliques thickened the waist, spoiling his v-taper.

Steve Reeves Training Methods

I found one of Steve Reeves training routine in an old booklet
and was happy to see he trained  briefly, infrequently and
intensely to  make the fastest progress. He trained full body
workouts three times a week, doing about 3 sets for each
exercise. He choose mostly basic exercises that worked the
part of the muscle he wanted to bring out.

Steve Reeves once wrote that 12 reps is the ideal number,
but never at the expense of good form!

Of course he had great genetics, but he also trained the right
for a natural bodybuilder.

Exercises of Steve Reeves

1. Shoulders - Press Behind Neck
2. Thighs - Hack Squat (toes pointed at 'ten and two' heels closed)
3. Calves - Toe Raise (on block of wood at least 6" thick)
4. Chest - Dips on parallel bars
5. Back - Chin behind neck
6. Triceps - Pressdown on lat machine
7. Biceps - Incline dumbell curl

Steve Reevs was natural.  He led a very healthy life.  you can tell when he was older.  SOme the older guys just lived healthy that is why they look so good when they are older.  I don't Bill Pearl tokk roids either.  He and Steve reeves were incredible and had the perfct body most people would want in real life.  Bill is absolutely one of the finest guys I have ever met.  He is so nice and friendly and we talk allot when we see each other.

Actually, lots of people were opposed to steroid use in the old days, and for the same reasons people oppose them now. You're fooling yourself if you think pumping artificial hormones into your body accomplishes anything of value in the long run. I have far more respect for someone who builds REAL muscle through HARD TRAINING than some steroid clown who trains a few months out of the year. Steroids have removed the athleticism from bodybuilding and turned it into a pharmaceutical freak show. Nobody cares about training anymore. It's all about DRUGS DRUGS DRUGS.

I guess that explains why the greatest bodybuilder in history (Arnold) is white, why one of the most dominant bodybuilders in the modern era (Yates) is white, why the runner up at the last several Olympias (Cutler) is white, why two of the biggest competitive bodybuilders in the world (Gunter and Ruhl) are white.

NONE of those people who's pictures have been posted were natural.

Even guys like Steve Reeves likely used in the 50's and 60's when Steroids were very common. Notice how during the 40's and early 50's steve reeves remained about the same size but then in the mid 50's he got massive!
Likely reeves was using oral's during the mid 50's to mid 60's. Remember The first steroids had been invented during the early 40's! So it isn't like they didn't exist!

Title: Re: MOST IMPRESSIVE NATURALS PICS!!!
Post by: Jack Jj on March 22, 2006, 01:42:18 AM
Yep, steroids have been around for so long. Longer than people are willing to accept

From World Anabolic Review by P. Grunding and M. Bachmann:

"Dianabol is an oral anabolic which was developed in 1956 by the American Dr. John Ziegler in collaboration with Ciba-Geigy Company. In the US it was introduced in the market in 1960 and within a short time it was available in many countries."

Even earlier...From Anabolics by William Llewellin:

"The first solid scientific experiments in this erea, wich eventually led to the discovery and replication of testosterone (and related androgens), where undertaken int the 1800's. During this  century a number of animal experiments where published most of which involved the removal and/or implantation of testicular material from/in a subject. By the turn of the century, scientists were able to produce the first experimental androgen injection. Chemists finally synthesized the structure of testosterone in the mid 1930's, sparking a new wave of interest in this hormone."

If steroids were available in that period, then my conclusion is that they were used in that period. Heck they didnt know much of any side affects..they probaly took it as a dietary supplement.

Reeves retired in 1950 , 6 years before the first oral steroid was produced ( Dianabol ) by Ciba labs and Dr John Ziegler , and his weight at while competing was 215lbs and he remained that for years , after he retired to pursue an acting career , the directors where always asking him to drop weight , so your assesment that he got huge is backwards , durring the mid 50s and early 60s he actually got smaller , when asked directly if he ever took steroids Reeves said outright no , he never even heard of them until the mid 60s , and steroids didn't make their way into the competitive bodybuilding scene until around 1960 and Bill Pearl did admit in Muscle & Fitness he used Dinabol and was one of the first bodybuilders to do so.

Do you have pictures of Reeves from the 40's 50's and then the 60's so we can judge how his size changed? I'm pretty sure he was his largest in the mid 60's.

That pic was taken in Jimmy Caruso's gym ( Studio Caruso ) in Montreal, Canada. I trained there many time s ( It's where Roy Callendar trained for years.)

I do not think all of those plates were real, I place money on it.

Actually, lots of people were opposed to steroid use in the old days, and for the same reasons people oppose them now. You're fooling yourself if you think pumping artificial hormones into your body accomplishes anything of value in the long run. I have far more respect for someone who builds REAL muscle through HARD TRAINING than some steroid clown who trains a few months out of the year. Steroids have removed the athleticism from bodybuilding and turned it into a pharmaceutical freak show. Nobody cares about training anymore. It's all about DRUGS DRUGS DRUGS.
true that.

Using steroids to gain muscle mass accomplishes the same thing as training naturally to do it...Gaining muscle mass. ::)

1.You don't know shit about steroids do you? Anabolic steroids increase protein synthesis which builds muscle mass. That IS REAL MUSCLE MASS that is being built...What..It's fake? HAHA!

2.If you think modern pro bodybuilding is only about drugs you're deluding yourself. If steroids were all it took to become Pro..There would be ALOT more pro's out there. Do you realize how many millions of people use anabolic steroids in the world..Yet there are only a few hundred active pro's..why? The fact is...Simply using AAS doesn't make you a bodybuilder. You have to WORK HARD at it even with AAS. Pro bodybuilders train as hard as they possibly can,Have good eating habits and they also use steroids.

However keep thinking that you can pop a few pills and become a PRO...Whatever helps you sleep! ::)

What happens when you stop using steroids? You become small and strong like a girl! Those that lift naturally get to keep the muscle gains for far longer than those who juice. Also without all the health risks involved. I will prove to yoiu how far a natural physique can go!

You don't know anything about the endocrine system do you?

When you are using steroids it's true that your natural testosterone goes down..However any intelligent steroid user knows that they should go on a "Post cycle Therapy" at the end of their cycle to bring their natural testosterone levels back up to normal so as they keep as much mass as possible...Usually they only loose about 15% of what they have gained...Three steps foward one step back basically.

Secondly...When your natural testosterone goes down you'll loose muscle regardless. Natural Bodybuilders natural testosterone doesn't stay high any longer than a bodybuilder who uses steroids. When you get old..You stop producing as much testosterone..When you stop producing as much Test you loose muscle..That will happen no matter what. No studies show steroid users to be unable to produce testosterone later in life..As a matter of a fact Arnold in his late 50's hasn't used steroids for years yet is much more muscular than your average 56 year old.

Thirdly....If you wanted you could continue using Steroids as you grow older and get into your 50's and 60's. Plenty of people do this...

Because muscle goes down very slowly on normal test levels. If you gain 30lbs of muscle on a cycle with test levels 5 times normal..If you go back down to normal you still have the solid muscle you have gained and it doesn't just vanish into nowhere in a few months.

Fraid so...Right after a Steroid cycle your natural test levels are near zero. That's why you loose so much muscle mass right after a cycle if you don't go on PCT. However if you do go on PCT and get your normal test levels back up soon you won't loose much weight after the cycle and you will gradually loose weight over the years if you don't ever cycle again. Keeping your natural test levels high isn't difficult though after a cycle.

What happens during a steroid cycle is your Testosterone levels increase. Your body wanting to maintain homeostasis then stops producing it's own testosterone so as your test level's don't get to high. The more steroids you use the less testosterone your own body produces. Once you stop using your body needs a few months to get back to normal test levels naturally. This is why testicular atrophy occurs..Your testicles produce testosterone. When they stop producing it they shrink. Get it? Inorder to restore hypothalamic pituitary gonadal axis you go on a "post cycle therapy" that increases serum testosterone and blocks estrogen receptors.



Quote
Furthermore, to combat the natural testosterone suppression and to restore proper HPTA function, what is known as 'post cycle therapy' (PCT) is self prescribed. PCT takes place after the course of anabolic steroids. It typically consists of a combination of the following drugs depending on which protocol is used:

A SERM such as clomiphene citrate and/or tamoxifen citrate (this is the primary PCT drug).
An aromatase inhibitor such as anastrozole.
Human chorionic gonadotropin, HCG (this has become less common as it is now more often used throughout the cycle rather than after).

yes but like i've stated before "all natty's" are running to GNC looking for the next big thing to make their muscles grow...And most don't care what it is as long as its "not illegal"...They have bought right into the propaganda against "steroids"...I remember back in the 80s when one could buy GHB right in GNC..and GBL up to the late 90s...A few guys in my gym who wouldn't take hormones(supposedly) were raving about what GHB were doing for them...Fast forward to the 21st century and mention GHB to almost anyone even on here and most will precieve you as a druggy or say you use a date rape drug...hell you can get more time from this drug then almost any other today...my point is that ghb got a bad rap because to the raves of the 90s and what the government put out their in the form of propaganda...Steroids aren't the main thing that is making what you call the "freaks"...I could say that "legal" inslin plays a role just as great if not greater in muscle building...The difference of todays bodybuilder and yesterdays is HGH and Inslin and igf-synthol-among other things(hardly illegal substances)with better nutrition and more information being available...Its just evolution...

thats pretty funny considering he wouldn't step on stage until he competed at 250(so he says) and when he did compete at 250, he was juiced to the gills...Just a 20 pound weight gain he had juiced to the gills..That must be some kind of record...

when people say pros shrink like crazy when they retire cause they're off the juice they are only half right. when you retire you may get off the juice but the reason they shrink so much is because they RETIRE.

Getting off the sauce makes them lose a lot of course but  people must also remember that they're not training for shows any more and sometimes not training at all for long periods of time. Flex supposedly did his last Olympia natural and he was still very big. Why would a pro retire and get off the sauce but continue to train like before? it makes no sense and that's what makes them retired. they don't train like that no more.

Fans of bodybuilding can be strange; after a bodybuilder retires he/she is going to lose muscle mass and probably gain some fat. Why would they try to retain it all what would be the use, to walk on the beach as the biggest guy?

If the average pro has been training for 15-20 years at retirement (8-10 years to become pro and another 5-10 years of competing at the pro level) then he will probably want to take a break from the extremely restrictive eating schedule, the intense weight training (many actually don't seem to train any harder than the average gym rat), the extensive drug protocol, the constant cardio, and the politics and BS of the industry.

In basketball, football, tennis, soccer, rugby, baseball, sprinting, what ever the sport an athlete will not retain his/her ability or contest level when they retire. Heck most athletes start decline well before they retire.

Personaly I don't think black people have better genetics. They are just more active.. me on the other hand got better genetics and work ethic than anyone!

I almost agree with his whole statement here.   But the truth is Look at how many white guys died in WWI and WWII.
No BS that is alot of warrior and strong men that got taken out of the gene pool.  It takes a couple of generations to start producing good genes again after a large kill off. 
This is why there are more blacks in competitive sports , not because of better genetics.
It is the "white man's" fault that blacks now dominate sports because they did not want to fight along side with them.

Not really...Africans are naturally larger and more muscular. During the slave days slave owners would selectivly breed their slaves so as they were larger and stronger to be able to do more work. They would breed the largest black men with the largest black women..This is why we see so many blacks above 6'5"...Oh yes..It's definitily genetics. 300 years of selective breeding!

You can't be serious. What are you smoking because that is some good $hit. More blacks died in the voyage over here from Africa than whites in WWI and WWII. Our race had to be strong to survive that $hit. And what do you mean blacks didn't want to fight? They weren't allowed to fight for the most part. The ones that were allowed in the military were given bull$hit jobs like cooks. There were black regiments that fought some of the fiercest battles in those wars. Your argument is total bull$hit.

That's a bunch of crap.  They didn't selectively breed slaves.  In fact, most slaveowners WANTED their slaves to get married since they felt they were less likely to try to escape.  Maybe a FEW tried.  But to say that blacks are bigger because of that is a joke.  If that were the case, they would have had to castrate that smaller males and sterilize the smaller black females to prevent them from breeding and "polluting the population".  Dude, slaves were screwing left and right when they got back to their "houses".  There was no systematic "selective breeding".

Black men are not generally taller than whites either.  If you are assuming this because of all of the tall blacks in the NBA (which is where I think your premise comes from) then you have to try to think more "big picture" than the NBA.  What about the classic moniker "7 foot white center"???  I would be willing to bet there are MORE 7 foot white guys than black guys in the NBA.

If you think that "300 years" of "selective breeding" occured and would do so much to increase size, then wouldn't "300 years of poor diet" cause blacks to be UNDERSIZED??  Do you think the ol' plantation owner was giving the slaves he wanted bigger, extra food and healthcare??  Prenatal vitamins???  Slaves ate for SHIT.

Here's my take........

Blacks aren't more muscular. 

They have naturally less bodyfat due to the climates that blacks and white typically came from.  Not to mention they have darker skin (obviously).

Less bodyfat and darker skin make for a more muscular LOOKING person.

But if blacks were more muscular, you wouldn't have the WHITEST of WHITE guys from Eastern Europe DOMINATING powerlifting events.

1.Maybe they did not selectivly breed them however the work they did was extremly tough and many of them died from being overworked. The slaves who were stronger and more fit would of survived and the weaker smaller ones would of died. So the stronger and larger ones were more likely to breed and pass their genes on.

2.Bad nutrition is not inhereted since it's phenotype and not genotypical change. 2 people could of lived the first 20 years of their life with terrible nutrition and be under 5'0" because of that and then have a child who is 6'0". Bad Nutrition can't be inhereted.

The Luke

I don't know what you're talking about. Dysgenics is the weakening of a populations genetics due to weak natural selection. For instance WW1 would of caused dysgenics due to the fitter individuals going to war(and dying) and the weaker less fit one's staying home because they were not fit for military purpose thus the porliferation of weaker genetics.
Give me an example of what you mean by population pressures not being dysgenic as mentioned in this thread.

Secondly Eugenics is the selective breeding of those with "Favorable" traits and not breeding those without them so those with favorable traits are more common within a population. I don't see how this has any relation to this topic except for White slave owners selectivly breeding blacks which I myself admited might not of happened.

However this still brings us to the fact that it was not easy being a slave and the work they did was extremly difficult. MILLIONS of africans died on the trip to america and during the work they had to do. The stronger slaves would of survived long enough to breed and the weaker ones would of died out before they could of passed their weaker genetics on to the next generation. Thus the proliferation of "stronger" genetics was the result.


I'm not sure you have enough knowledge of population genetics/Evolutionary biology to write an article on the implications of race differences in bodybuilding.

Whoa... whoa...there Johnny Apollo,

Don't you know how to ask for clarification of things you don't understand? Or do you prefer taking umbridge and then launching into unfounded diatribes? Ever post of yours that I read is so defensive and aggressive it encourages me more and more to read less of them in future.

The point I was trying to make, (without pre-empting the theme of my article) was that events such as the slave trade, WW1 and WW2 simply don't have the kind of impact necessary to cause even micro-evolution among populations, despite what people think. The world wars combined only had evolutionary effects for... say 30 years, the slave trade (as it relates to African Americans) for maybe 300 years. Compare that with the cold adaption among northern European whites which lasted approx. 30,000 years. That is the kind of timescale needed to substantially concentrate genetic traits.

I'll go into more detail in my article.

As for your last point:
"I'm not sure you have enough knowledge of population genetics/Evolutionary biology to write an article on the implications of race differences in bodybuilding."
   ...is that your considered opinion based on BOTH the sentences I posted in this thread? Or ar you psychic?

BDJ: Could you relay your own experience with drug use?


Sergio Olivia: This is an area of great interest for people. I don't care who wants to take steroids, because that's a personal choice... that's his life. Now, today, everybody has access to them. I even saw in one of the big magazines that Arnold denies having used them, but Arnold was one of the first to bring steroids over to America. And everybody in the old days used them: Zane, Columbu, myself, Arnold, Larry Scott, Harold Poole, Dave Draper, and even Steve Reeves. There's no way to deny it. It wasn't much, nothing like today. But the development of drugs is much different. I used decca and dianabol, and that was something really big at the time; and decca was not considered that bad. It was even prescribed by doctors to help make your bones strong. Today you have guys weighing 200 pounds, and six months later they weigh 250-300 pounds! So you know these guys are taking something unbelievable. When they say they haven't taken any thing, you know that it's phony.

http://www.ironmagazineforums.com/history/topic/46705-1.html



Sergio is full of shit. That story has been debunked over and over. Those drugs weren't even available until 1962, 1963 time period. Reeves last competition was 1952.

Bill pearl natural?

He already had a good body as a natural in the late 50s but you can clearly see a big change in the following years.

Bill in one of his fitness books I got at the library said he took a steroid in the early 1960's. He gained weight and size but said he didn't like the way it made him look. So he experimented that one time and that was it. The book was published in 1985. I read in a forum in susequent later print runs of the book that chapter was deleted as a result of steroids being made a controlled substance by federal law. I believe him because to this day he has a great physique.

Title: Re: MOST IMPRESSIVE NATURALS PICS!!!
Post by: bmacsys on March 25, 2006, 06:22:33 PM
Yep, steroids have been around for so long. Longer than people are willing to accept

From World Anabolic Review by P. Grunding and M. Bachmann:

"Dianabol is an oral anabolic which was developed in 1956 by the American Dr. John Ziegler in collaboration with Ciba-Geigy Company. In the US it was introduced in the market in 1960 and within a short time it was available in many countries."

Even earlier...From Anabolics by William Llewellin:

"The first solid scientific experiments in this erea, wich eventually led to the discovery and replication of testosterone (and related androgens), where undertaken int the 1800's. During this  century a number of animal experiments where published most of which involved the removal and/or implantation of testicular material from/in a subject. By the turn of the century, scientists were able to produce the first experimental androgen injection. Chemists finally synthesized the structure of testosterone in the mid 1930's, sparking a new wave of interest in this hormone."

If steroids were available in that period, then my conclusion is that they were used in that period. Heck they didnt know much of any side affects..they probaly took it as a dietary supplement.


Yes, but its common knowledge bodybuilders started using them in the 1962/1963 time period.
Title: Re: MOST IMPRESSIVE NATURALS PICS!!!
Post by: bmacsys on March 25, 2006, 06:25:27 PM
Reeves retired in 1950 , 6 years before the first oral steroid was produced ( Dianabol ) by Ciba labs and Dr John Ziegler , and his weight at while competing was 215lbs and he remained that for years , after he retired to pursue an acting career , the directors where always asking him to drop weight , so your assesment that he got huge is backwards , durring the mid 50s and early 60s he actually got smaller , when asked directly if he ever took steroids Reeves said outright no , he never even heard of them until the mid 60s , and steroids didn't make their way into the competitive bodybuilding scene until around 1960 and Bill Pearl did admit in Muscle & Fitness he used Dinabol and was one of the first bodybuilders to do so.

All of what you posted is true. Reeves had the greatest physique ever. Not the biggest but the ideal physique. He built it before steroids were readily available. Why do people have to besmirch his reputation which is spotless?

Tom Prince was 230 pounds at 5-7 before taking an ounce of gear. Just because your genetics limit you to 220 pounds, doesn't mean the same for everyone else. Read Arnold's Encyclopedia of Bodybuilding, steroids are a finishing touch, they do not make a physique.

Don't reply to this in this thread because I don't want to bring it off topic. Go to the thread where this "Undeniable evidence" is and then show it to me and i'll refute it AGAIN just for you.

All humans aren't equal. Are you saying that Cutler is EQUAL physique wise to Stephen hawking? Is Stephen Hawking EQUAL intelligence wise to Cutler? Of course not. Some people are born with shitty physiques and shitty intelligence and shitty looks and well shitty everything! Not All people are "Equal". Far from the truth.

So when you say all men are not equal are you saying that some are more important then others...and if that is true then who is the judge of who is more important and who is less.  With this statement you seem to be taking away the value of every person.  Just because I may not be as intelligent as Stephen Hawking, can't write as well as Ayn Rand, and am not as beautiful as Angelina Jolie-I am not equal to these people as a human being, their life is more important than mine?

Please tell me how important I am and how important you are-you seem to have all the answers.  Every single person is UNIQUE... I believe that people are equal-we all have different talents and personalities that no one else has.  In you little example it seems that if your mother died it wouldn't matter as much because she is not "equal" in intelligence or strength or popularity then someone else.  This just isn't true in real life because if your mother died it would affect You more deeply then if Jay Cutler or Stephen Hawking died.  One person is not more important then another, they just bring different things into our World-you can't judge everyone on the same scale.

I almost agree with his whole statement here.   But the truth is Look at how many white guys died in WWI and WWII.
No BS that is alot of warrior and strong men that got taken out of the gene pool.  It takes a couple of generations to start producing good genes again after a large kill off. 
This is why there are more blacks in competitive sports , not because of better genetics.
It is the "white man's" fault that blacks now dominate sports because they did not want to fight along side with them.

The Truth

That is utter nonsense. Please don't have children and reproduce from your genes. ::)

How does one judge "Importance"? As far as "Personal importance" goes i'm sure "Bob" from podunk idaho is very important to his family and or friends. However as you will notice I never used the word "Important" considering just about anyone can be "important" to anyone else regardless of attributes. No..I'm refering to "Equality". Let us use the example of "Gog" and "Magog" fictional chacters for this example. Let's say Gog is strong,intelligent,Brave,Handsome,Healthy,Fast..In short he has all of the attributes someone could have. Now let's say Magog has no attributes, He is weak,stupid,cowardly,ugly,lazy and unhealthy and inconsiderate. Is Gog=Magog? Of course not. In noway is Gog equal to Magog. Gog is obviously superior in every way be it from genetics or simply from work.

To say "Everyone is equal" doesn't make sense. What are they equal in? Maybe "Equal in the eyes of the law" but "Equal outright"? No. Not everyone is "Equal"..Some people are born superior to others genetically. Some people are born richer some people work to get superior. Some people have all of the attributes you can imagine. Some people have hardly any.

Just because everyone is "Unique" does not mean they are all equal. Everyone is different but that does not mean everyone is equal. Clearly not everyone is "equal". Some are Superior, Some are Inferior as far as attributes go.

Everyone is different and has their own special skills and attributes.  Just because you don't understand their attributes, or they chose not to refine them doesn't mean their any less equal then someone who choses to refine and practice their attributes.  Granted others have more of an "opportunity" to be successful and taught, but that has nothing to do with their equality.

No. Some people are born without anything to offer and no skills or attributes. Some people are born with deadly diseases that make the cripple and unable to work or do anything. Some people are born cripple,retarded and basically unable to do anything also. So it doesn't matter what their environment is, They won't go as far in life as someone who is healthy and fit.

Genetics play a large role in how successful you will be in life and like it or not some people are delt a better hand than others.

It's not the hand your delt but how you play it.  As far as healthy people are concerend, everyone has talent whether they know it or not. It's part of thier personality, character, make-up, who they are.  Whether they chose to use it or not is up to them.  I think in a sense your getting determination mixed up with equality.  Disease, thats a whole other topic in my opinion.  If you would like to debate about that PM me.

The initial claim was "Everyone is equal" and I haven't seen anyone demonstrate how this is true.

Explain to me how someone born into a Coma or born without arms or legs can possibly be "equal" with someone who is completly healthy? How do people born into comas "Play the hand they are delt"? lol.

If "Everyone is equal" then no matter how hard you work..You can never become superior to anyone else? Well then what's the point of working hard and improving yourself? Why not be a bum who doesn't do anything for himself and never workout or eat healthy or study because afterall..You'll still equal!  ::)

This time did you ready MY response?   ;D  As healthy people are concerned I believe they are equal and they can play the hand they are dealt.  Homeless people usually have a disability or disease and have nobody willing to take care of them.  Homeless people who are not disabled or have a disease IMO have a determination problem and chose not to use their attributes that everyone has.....which in my opinion makes them equal to everyone else even though their attrubutes may be different.

So explain to me in what way is "Gog" equal to "Magog"? You don't seem to be reading or understanding what i'm typing. There are people out there who have no real attributes and aren't "equal" to other people in any sort of way. Be they weak or ignorant or what have you, They aren't equal in any sense of the term to superior people.

Some people who have a "Determination problem" might suffer from a mental disorder such as ADD/ADHD..So saying they aren't "Playing the cards they are delt" doesn't make sense since if they have a mental disorder those ARE the cards they were delt. In which case they have a much more difficult time even staying on the same level as others let alone being "equal".

Secondly people with born disabilities really can't be equal in any way...Espically the more severe one's.

Not really...Africans are naturally larger and more muscular. During the slave days slave owners would selectivly breed their slaves so as they were larger and stronger to be able to do more work. They would breed the largest black men with the largest black women..This is why we see so many blacks above 6'5"...Oh yes..It's definitily genetics. 300 years of selective breeding!

Nonsense. Most American blacks are descended from a small group of slaves who arrived in the late 18th century. Black slaves were only present in numbers in the US for around 90 years, hardly enough time for a massive breeding experiment. White interbreeding with the slaves had a far more significant effect on black racial characteristics. Almost all American blacks have some white ancestry, which accounts for many of their physical traits. West African blacks (from whom American blacks are descended) aren't particularly big or strong. Instead, Africans were chosen mainly for their resistance to disease (malaria, etc).

Africans are not a monolithic group, either. West Africans are different from East Africans. I don't think there's any scientific evidence that "Africans" are taller or more muscular than whites. White people from the Nordic countries have always dominated strength sports, and Denmark actually has the tallest population of any country.

I competed in the lightweights in that show at a weight if 147 at 5'4". I placed 7th  :(
I am currently 165 and 10 weeks out from the Jr USA. I am sitting at about 8% bodyfat right now, so I figure I'll be 150-153 the day of the show.

Roundness and fullness of the delts doesn't have anything to do with a weightclass. Its more about how you train and your genetics. You "might" have a point if you are talking about the extreme development in the delts of drug users, but it still comes down to genetics and training. There are plenty of big guys who use steroids and have crappy shoulder development due to the fact that they either don't train them likke they should, or didn't pick the right parents ;D
My dad had great shoulder development back in his prime in the Marine Corps at a height of 5'10" and a weight of 210. Totally natural. So I got it honestly. Everything but the height >:(  I blame my mom for that ;D

Both baby hercules and jaejonna have good builds.   Natural is the way to go.  So many people are taking steroids and all types of drugs but they look terrible.  Why risk getting guts and deformed arms?  So many are mad because the natural who trains harder looks better in the end.

Everything is genetic. Muscle size, structure, quality...genetic. Drug response, genetic. Metabolism, genetic. Bone structure, genetic. All genetic.

People need to stop talking about hard work because hard work is a given. I know lots of guys who bust their arse with diet and lifting and look totally average because of shitty genetics.

It's all genetics, drugs or no drugs.

and among people I've seen there is a guy who blew up from 150 pounds to 190 pounds naturally because he got his diet and exercise in order...he is still lean w/ abs. Yea, some people have it easy, and others have to work harder. But everything isn't 'all genetics' as u claim, diet and exercise are a big big factor.

Stop argument mongering.

Deicide has a good point that genetics can be a major deciding factor in bodybuilding success... natural trainers ALL train, eat and rest the same way... among successful natural trainees you have already filtered out those who don't train hard; don't eat right; don't rest properly... with all those variables being standardized, yes, genetics are the deciding factor.

If you don't agree with the blanket statement "all down to genetics", then please ask for clarification before resorting to personal attacks.

I highly disagree with your contention that we all train and eat with the same discipline (in bold), or in a proper scientific manner (periodised training, lean bulking, etc.). The rest of your post isn't something I disagreed with at all.

That = a load of horsecrap. Most natural trainers don't even have their long term calorie deficit/surplus in order while dieting. Success as a natural when it comes to BF and gaining solid mass over the long term is mostly dependant on having a solid long term system that is followed every day over many months. Most naturals don't have it. Presuming a "standardized" eating plan for naturals = as delusional as they come.

So when you say all men are not equal are you saying that some are more important then others...and if that is true then who is the judge of who is more important and who is less.  With this statement you seem to be taking away the value of every person.  Just because I may not be as intelligent as Stephen Hawking, can't write as well as Ayn Rand, and am not as beautiful as Angelina Jolie-I am not equal to these people as a human being, their life is more important than mine?

Please tell me how important I am and how important you are-you seem to have all the answers.  Every single person is UNIQUE... I believe that people are equal-we all have different talents and personalities that no one else has.  In you little example it seems that if your mother died it wouldn't matter as much because she is not "equal" in intelligence or strength or popularity then someone else.  This just isn't true in real life because if your mother died it would affect You more deeply then if Jay Cutler or Stephen Hawking died.  One person is not more important then another, they just bring different things into our World-you can't judge everyone on the same scale.

Debussey,

I made the point that among SUCCESSFUL naturals training and diet are all standardised with genetics making the final differences, because you simply can't be successful as a natural if you do things incorrectly.

You say that isn't true because many naturals don't diet properly or successfully?


I think maybe you misread my post.... because your aggressive retort boils down to me claiming that all successful naturals diet properly (they can't be "all drugs" after all), and you interject that the non-successful ones don't diet properly.


This is what I'm talking about with regards to the argument mongering.
   You start a post by quoting my point then commenting: "That = a load of horsecrap".... then you go on to show that you don't disagree with me, you simply think you do because you've either only scanned my post and mischaracterized my contention, or lack basic reading comprehension.

Re-read (carefully) my original post which Debussey quoted...

If you read up on successful natural trainees you'll indeed find that they do indeed all follow the same principles:

-basic healthy wholefood diet, rich in protein with lots of water
-low volume or HIT training, three or so days a week

...granted, there are lots of naturals following all sorts of different routines and diets. But none of them are making any real progress.

It's not really fair to class these other "hobbyists" as being natural bodybuilders, they might lift weights but they don't manage to build any real muscle.

Addressing the part in bold, not true at all as far as I know... I actually know of ZERO 'successful' natural trainers who train HIT...I have suspicions that markus dudes natural status.

As far as optimal training goes, it appears that periodised training is the way to go. I haven't come across any serious scientific backing for HIT training.

But that's not what this argument was about, just pointing out that it's merely your opinion that HIT training is the most optimal method of training.

Croatch,

You and I need to have a competition...

"Strongest Natural on GetBig"

...whaddya think? I'd say you have me on upper body (bench, curls etc), reckon I could take you in the lower body (squats, deadlifts). Though I reckon we're both on a par with Reeves at least strength wise.

I'll see if I can compress avi files on my computer to post some lifts.

if there was ever a competition like this i would gladly join...
Title: Re: MOST IMPRESSIVE NATURALS PICS!!!
Post by: The Luke on March 19, 2008, 02:23:15 PM
I've been wondering about this for quite a while...

A strength contest would be pretty fun, several of the natural guys on this board are immensely strong in the 6-10 rep range... more so than many of the powerlifters on the strength boards.


Over the next month I'll be putting up a vid of my attempt at 405 for 15 reps in the deadlift (I've managed 12 and reckon I might manage a thirteenth with some specialist training).

If that kicks off such a competition then that will help with the boards popularity.

havent read the whole thread, so i dont really know what your discussing. but your incorrect regarding all successful natural trainees using HIT/low volume. and besides, you havent seen every "successful natural trainee" workout, so you cant make blanket statements like that.

That's a great lift Luke (not flaming BTW).  You weigh under 200 right?  If so, then a double BW DL for that many reps is very impressive.  I don't think I could DL 560 for 15 :P

...don't be too impressed just yet, my best so far is only 12 reps.

I'm gonna need some help with the technicals as well... might meet up with some of GetBig's Irish contingent and have someone else video the lift for proprieties sake.

I thought I might add some of my own pics here - I be posting more closer to my next contest!

Pic no1 is at 198 shredded pounds winning my class in Musclemania

Pic no2 is me at around 212 checking myself out in the mirror 2 weeks before another contest

I will be looking even better this year as I am planning to come in even more ripped for my next contest - SuperBody June 20th in Miami!
