When I was 16 I thought all pros were natural :)
« on: October 20, 2009, 06:51:39 AM »
I honestly thought that if a person trained heavy and intense, and ate lots of carbs and protein, they could get big enough to be a IFBB pro. I thought that if you followed the pros routines in the magazines that you could be pro, as long as you had good genetics, trained hard, and had followed their diets.

By the time I was 18, I realized all ifbb pros were drugged up :)

Pretty much..they had forums in BB mags discussing steroids openly. Even though I knew that was the route, I made a decision to be natural until I turned 20.  Building a base without the gear was smart and what the guys at the gym I looked up to suggested.  

Safe to say, I was given the right advices

FLEX magazine didn't trick you.  It's your fault for not reading the fine print in the back of the mag which advises youngsters to start juicing themselves to the gills on their 20th birthday (like Bob Chicarello) if they hope to have a physique like those that appear in these pages.

Remember Chick started training when he was fairly young, like 14 or 15. So he had around 5yrs before he would have hopped on gear when he turned twenty.
You'll also notice he did not say that he took his first shot @ 20yrs old, just that was the age he decided that he could consider taking something.
Far cry from these days, when someone is looking at Cutler in a magazine, trains for 7 months while eating everything in sight, and when they're aren't big (but fat) they load up on gear. Having never learned to properly train, eat or diet, they get big, bloated, acne and eventually burn out. I've seen it countless times over the years.

I was 17 or 18 when I realized this too. I guess I was also naive. I started training when I was 13 and was often accused of taking steroids, and thought it was rediculous as all I did was eat a ton and train hard.

i knew about the age of 15 that pro's were using Supplements...However, i didn't know those "supplements" were really steroids...

I think Lee started using steroids when he was 13 years of Age.

Bob can't believe that there's so many 17 and 18 year olds out there who still believe in Santa Claus.

What crazy thing are ya gonna tell Bob next? . . . that these same teenagers are buying bogus bodybuilding supplements because they believe (haha) that the pro on the label is actually taking the crap that's inside the container (and if he is, that it actually makes a difference to his extremely roided-up physique.) There's no way anybody could be so naive, right Bob?

HAHA....same here. Sad to say but i was a little older and still believed pros were natural. Especially with all the supplements too. TAKE THIS PRODUCT AND LOOK LIKE THIS PRO. MONEY-TECH is the worst influence, especially on newbies.
