To be honest it helps in sales. I am a roofer but when I am sitting down with home owners often they ask me about my workouts and when i tell them I compete, they start asking question like how do I lose my love handle or how do I bring my cholesterol down etc, anyhow it gets us very comfortable fast and before you know it Booooooooom "sign here" and onetimehard gets to put on a new roof, hell I have even written some of them diet and training plans for free, lol.

It can help if your personality itself is not centered around your physique. Just act as if the state of your body doesn't matter at all and they'll take you seriously. If you walk around huffing and puffing and always wearing tight shirts they'll think you're an idiot.

As someone said - it depends on your personality. I personally found that being "big" has helped me on many occasions, simply by getting some kind of an "exclusive respect" (once again - personality must go along with the physique) and thus - favours or people going out of their way to help me/offer a better way to achieve something, etc... WHen some morons here laugh that being a bodybuilder impresses males, but not females, well - there's some truth in that, for sure, but it MAY be a big advantage, as when you are dealing with various bussiness - most of the time it's males that you are dealing with and getting a respect before you even say a word in some cases is very good.

Uberman, what's your problem with PEDs?  Is the legality? Moral issue? Abuse?
If someone wants to take their body past their natural limits I don't see a problem with it. Of course you'll have people with opinions on every spectrum of that wavelength from only natural to the more drugs the better. My only issue is the long term effects from ABUSE. Problem is with drugs, one mans use is another mans abuse.

not training at all = extreme.

training naturally, healthy diet = balance. (all advantages without cons)

doing steroids= extreme.


I mean, it 's pretty basic common sense. Sad it sounds hard to conceive for most losers on here.

I could use that same argument and say using legal supplementation is extreme with protein, creatine and whatever else is out there over the counter that these freaks carrying around pill containers. That's extreme and that's legal.

I can't argue that doing steroids in not extreme. My only retort is that it's a different world that has its own balances and extremes. Clearly the sport itself is very extreme. No denying that. It is amazing to see the limits the human body can be pushed to. I'm not willing to push it to even NPC levels. But there clearly are various levels of admiration. some more than others. no homo.................... ..medium homo.................... ....all homo.

Being a leaner and more athletic looking gets a better response from the ladies and people in general from me.

Been bulked up till not long ago, lifting heavy, but leaner look makes me look younger and fitter.
Luckily I've kept the wide shoulders and back.

I have a related question.  I work in an office where everyone dresses professionally.  For the last week I've worn a track suit to work almost every day.  

Are people going to look down on me, or thing I'm a wigger/guido if I keep this up?

I haven't been to the office in my Adidas Star Wars stuff yet.

ha ha yeah buddy! they also train much harder than a natural right?  :-\

Oh well.


The real question is, why cant you get satisfied maximizing your natural plateau -which happens rarely anyway to most of steroids ab-users-. Why cant people stay balanced, healthy, why do they need to go too far to feel "good". They dont even feel good because they develop more useless muscle mass, but because the hormonal changes induced by steroid use modifies the biochemy of their brains and fucks with neurotransmitters.

Because that is not what they want ding dong. You like the color red, someone else likes the color blue, you like mountain climbing someone else likes playing hockey. Who the fuck are you to decide what others want in life. Are you fucken some sort of hero trying to rescue people here acting like a fool? People die driving on the highway, oh so don`t drive on the highway?

Look brainiac it is this simple I want to have 20 inch arms, be able to bench 500, have a shredded midsection, why cause that is what I want, same reason you like pink or same reason you like to play ring around the rosy, who gives a shit, I am not you and you are not me so stop trying to play hero dumbass.

We are adults we pick what we want in life. Some pick the conservative way, others pick a more aggressive way, at the end we all die the same so who gives a fuck

Because one of the main traits of a homo-sapiens ALWAYS was to - trascend their limits (biological or technological), simple as that. If every human being would've been like you - we'd still sit in the cave and hunt mammooths.

Post by: BILL ANVIL on December 29, 2012, 09:10:03 AM
the very first week after opening the club, ive had the other owners come to me and "suggest" prices for services(my place services,lol), one said i owe him money just for being new to this, another "asked" me if i "need" protection, he could offer cheaply, another said his assasins would shot from behind, anothe rone said he has this butter acid or something thatd make my place useless if they poured it into my rooms.

i sat there and yawned, then one guy said he will bring along"mustafa" , some fat albanian, to take care of me, the guy rides around on a bycycle like the thug character in movie "friday".

this was enough, then, i took out weapon and asked him why not settle this all right now, one by one and who wants some first.

i also told them if any of their threats come true, ill blow their places up with bombs.fuck, i wasnt even joking back then, was young and wild.

and then told them to fuck off right now.

couple weeks later i was alreaddy stealing their working girls from their own places like they were groceriy shops.

went like this, theyd send ppl to offer the girls at my place to work at theirs, but theyd be to tightassed to pay for a service, theyd just blatantly ask.

i did this much smarter, went to their places, paid for a service, fucked the girl, offered her some coke and then offered her to work at my place and id give her more percentage of the money earned.

ah good times  :D
