i di believe you believe what you saw to be the truth ,,it may be and its from a child perspective as in 12 year old usually se thing in dif manner tha adult and it influence him oir her for life,,its like when you see terminator at age 9 and from then on arnold is super human,,,i do believe you that you believe this is to be the case with the kid
never theless,,people who live in block 10 in the getto are surrounded by drug dealers and trafickers from young age ,,their way out of this life is to be athltes and try to become the best in the getto and then go from there,,,its a vishous circle that still exist to this day and im very femiliar with it,,those kids especially in your times in 70s were surrounded with plenty of narcotics and hormones were like candy ,,legit hormones that you can walk in and steal or just get from your older brother bro that was t he neigberhood assistant dealer in cheif,,,innocence has nothing to do with it,,you lose your innocnece in the getto very fast and know how to keep yourmouth shut otherwize you will be stucj in getto for life time and end up in the same poorcondition you were born to,,
the 70s was a very good era for dealers in america,,,till today the narcotics are part of every poor neigberhood ,,,hormones are like candys there its not even considered a drug and it shouldnt,,its just very easy to get and was super easy to get in 70s because it was like getting a piece of gum it was easier to get than cigars,,
even a kid who dont know shit about shit can poop a pill in and with dianabol it means a severe stength increase,,with anavar and halo it means super human strength especially in the eyes of kids,,
now i agree most chanses are at age 12 most kids wont have the capacity ,,in general,,but in the getto kids at 12 are = 20 year olds anywhere else,,
friend i amextermly knowledgable when it comes to the human body and hormones,,it is almost immposible to show me something new that i ahevtn experienced through out my years in bodybuilding,,im also narcisistic and it comes out in bad way when i post,,never the less what i say is accurate
i do however believe you that in yuor point of view this kid was natural
First off, I take serious umbrage at you referring to my teen idol as a "Jap." That's OKINAWAN Jap to you, my friend. OKINAWAN Jap!
Now my dear IFBB guru, I believe it when you say that you are "amextermly" knowledgeable about all things regarding hormones and the human body. You are also breathtakingly insightful about a lot of other things as well. I've read you enough to know that you are no joke and I take everything you say very seriously. It's because of you I'm on this board practically everyday and the first thing I read is your latest posts. But I do believe you've become a bit jaded regarding bodybuilding and drug use. You may be right that 90% of the people in the gyms today are on something though this cannot realistically and objectively be proven. What can be proven, at least from my experience training in various commercial gyms in Hawaii and California, including Gold's Venice, is that 80-90% of the people that train consistently don't look like they've ever touched a weight in their life. I'm sure things are different in your parts. We Americans, when it comes to making money, are the hardest, smartest and most productive workers in the world but when it comes to any form of physical discomfort be it diet, training, or even normal everyday pains we are some of the biggest (and fattest) pussies in the world. Our wealth and success have made us a very soft and complacent society. Eastern Europeans and Asians would chew us up and spit us out if we dare enter any of their gyms. We have no idea what real hardship is like and poor in America means fat American with car, microwave, computer, TVs and cell phones. I don't mean all Americans are pussies. Just most. So if you're right about drug use then we Yanks are even more pathetic than I ever imagine.
Now I'm in my forties now so the time I'm talking about (late seventies to mid eighties) you were just a baby. Later I'll tell you how it really was and how cheap and easy it was to get some gear. I don't mean by some competitive bodybuilder who was plugged in with connections but just an average Joe like me who got sick and tired of busting his azz in the gym for years and still looking like some Cambodian refugee from the Pol Pot regime.
BTW, there aren't any ghettos in Hawaii in the way there are in say, LA, NY or Detroit. Locals here are just lazy people living off the government dole. And because the Black population is small with the majority being military we didn't then nor do you do now have any of the organized drug dealing gang problem and drive by shootings like they do in the mainland. Today there's a problem with meth but, it's far from organized and just mom and pop operations. Back then the drugs were just pot and glue sniffing. Nobody knew any drug dealers and if there were they certainly weren't dealing roids.
