Title: Challenge for all those that think bodybuilding is mostly drugs
Post by: Howard on January 01, 2013, 03:52:27 PM
Good Lord ! I have to laugh when I think back on al the pathetic guys I met who suck as bodybuilders and blame it on "drugs".
Really? If it is all drugs , why not just do what drugs it takes and acomplish the following:
1. Win an NPC national qualifier   2 win an NPC national level pro qualifier and get pro card   
3. win a pro event    4. go the the Olympia and be a top 5 guy.

The guys that claim its' all drugs refuse to admit they lack the basic genetic talent and drive to make it in bodybuilding.
I guess facing the hard reality they lack the goods is tough to deal with.
The disgruntled wannabees always have a laundry list of excuses, from judguing politics to drugs, etc.

Most people who say "its all drugs" also know its about the genetic response to drugs. When I say, "its all drugs" I am also implying that the particular person has an insane genetic response to drugs. So its drugs and genetics.

As for drive LOL! Paul Dillet and Flex Wheeler were extremely lazy in the gym, and both could be considered great bodybuilder.

If you have great genetics and access to the best drugs, you can easily become a pro with a shitty work ethic. Thats how important drugs and genetics are. Maybe you wont be ronnie coleman, but with the right genes, you will look like Flex Wheeler.

i'm a big strong guy who  trains naturally

bodybuilding is a failed sport

and there are far too many drugs involved

I'm in the same camp and had no desire to spend the $$ or take the risks, etc.
BUT, I didn't say that drugs were the reason I didn't become a pro BB.
In all modesty I did better in actual contests then most here at GET Big .
The best guys have the basic talent for the sport and the rest of us don't.
Just admit that and move on is my deal.
Why make a million excuses is my thread question.?????

Okay, you're right, Howard. It's a bit more than all drugs. You need to suck dick to place ahead in competitions or to get sponsors. And you need to sell drugs to be able to pay for your drugs, so you have to be comfortable with inflating prices and selling to utter douchebags. You're very right, Howard. There's a lot more to bodybuilding than just drugs!

You guys are delusional, listen to Howard. He's a very seasoned schmoe.

It cracks me up how some will come back with the genetics point which is obvious.
If you don't respond to training or steroids or whatever, you won't build impressive muscle size...doah!
Why do some misguided gym rats keep searching for the magic secret drug potion and guru? LOL
If you don't have the talent ( genetics) , then you don't ...end of story.

So Jay, Ronnie, Lee Haney, Yates and Arnold, etc sucked the judges  dicks? Give me a break.
Yes, plenty of lower tier pros and pro card wannabees did some dumb shit to try to get an edge.
After the dust clears, the legends of bodybuilding got there based on their talent and drive.
Lee Haney, Ronnie Coleman have 8 Olympias each ( the record) and never did any of that crap.

Calling them lazy is like saying a sprinter is lazy compared to a distance runner. They wernt lazy the just responded to that type of training. Lazy is the weekend warrior who trains and makes no progress.

No, you go screw yourself "wild willie". Be real; it's all drugs. There's no shame it in. It's not a sport, it's a hobby. I enjoy the hobby too. No shame. I enjoy leaning the fuck out on tren and masteron, then blowing up on Anadrol and having people stare at me. I like being a jacked up nerd with an awesome physique even though it's not entirely healthy. Face the facts like the rest of us. It is what it is.

Bullshit if you have good genetics and a balanced physique and can train hard and heavy without injury.Load up on upto 8grams of gear a week,eat high protein and get enough rest and boom in the next 10 years you could be an ifbb pro,but once you get your pro card stop all drugs as they are banned just ask JIM M.

By the way Howie. The best pros will be the ones with the best genetics on the most drugs. That's the natural order of things. That is assuming all other things are equal such as training, food, discipline and drugs (which they are).

Yes. Flex worked out throughout his teenage years i.e. more than enough time to put on good natural size, and he ended up at a self-admitted 140lbs at 5'11. He had the right structure (joints etc.) but pretty much ALL his muscular size came from drugs:

It's all drugs retard , you can't be a successful bodybuilder without abusing them , remember Kai Greene almost quit bodybuilding because he couldn't afford the drugs .
Ronnie Coleman ,Phil Heath ,Jay Cutler ............... etc . aren't genetic freaks , they are just  the best in the world  of a tiny group ( 0.0000001 %  of world's population )  that are not afraid to abuse drugs  (and have the money to afford it )to take it to the next level.

Kai was the dominate force as a WNBF natural pro in his early 20's .
Ronnie won the Olympia a record tieing 8 times and Phil Heath is known as "the gift".
Jay competes at a ripped 270 and turned pro within 3-4 contests.

And the best pros take are the ones with the best genetics that take the most drugs. Therefore all drugs. Look, I don't have a problem with it. Just don't lie about it. It's true.

Great post!
You did a better job summing up what a struggle it is to make it in bodybuilding.
Sure all the top guys use plenty of drugs in pro BB.
Since they all use the same drugs , it comes down to the other factors that determine success.
The bitter guys who don't cut it, need an excuse to feel better about why they suck.

thats bullshit, and only because most of the pros of today wouldn't have the work ethic required to get huge the old fashioned way. they just aren't the right type of person.
