^^^^ Thats sick! That is the ultimate LOW in life...if you have to "sell yourself" to get money for drugs etc. I used to have a dream becoming a pro BB in high school.....knowing what I do now...I'm glad I went to college, landed a great job and not using any drugs (steroids, GH, insulin) etc...

How far they fall from the top. This represents Nasser when he was a serious up and coming bodybuilder. If he was using synthol it was probably minimum, was ripped and he was symmetrical for the type of physique he had.

No shit.

Sounds just like him in the interview, bitter attitude included.
I can picture him getting sucked in here. He probably misses the spotlight.

This is why it can't be Markus:
borderline? thats a man,,muscular little man,,no size what so ever as in 120lb but a defenite male with musculanity of an hormonized male due to the use of hormones
We all know Markus was with that she-hulk in his training videos; he wouldn't slam female bodybuilders like that.

So that leaves Naz, James, and that other German guy nobody cares about. But gh15 said he was top 5 right?
That would narrow it down to Naz.

you got to be able to see top 4 abs at the least on your physiqe to be considered anything in bodybuilding,,can be flexed but top 4 gotta be there at the least,,outlines of abs gotta be there,,no abs at all = too fat even if you have big toned arms

Q: During the off-season, what's your daily average percentage of body fat?
N: During the off-season, I'm never out of shape. By the way, I'm the ONLY bodybuilder who can guest pose with over 300lbs. and have my abs still visible!

More:
im not saying this with hate,,id still prefer to have a fat american woman over fat arab woman any day of the week,,so bin laden cave women are not my type :D

only thing common about the murderer and the other murderer is arrogance,,the white murderer cant train the black murderer because he is half his size and a lot weaker,,simpson would break his face in 2 min,,simpson is a strong murderer,,the white murderer is just weak 160lb skinny trash

The way he phrases this indicates he's not white perhaps?

Quote from: Trev on October 06, 2007, 03:47:58 AM
Not Nassar. An athlete from the ELITE end of the pros would not give out advice on illegal drug use on an international forum board ...

hormones are NOT ILLEAGAL THEY ARE CONTROLLED AND ARE PERFECTLY FINE WITH PRESCRIPTION IF YOU ARE ON US GROUNDS,,

hormones are VERY LEGAL IN MAJORITY OF THE WORLD COUNTRIES,,EASTERN EUROPE ,,SOUTH AMERICA,,THAILAND AND ASIA ,,MIDDLE EAST,,IN MANY OF THIS PLACES HORMONES ARE PERFECTLY LEGAL AND YOU JUST WALK IN THE PHARM AND GET THEM ,,SO NO NEED TO SAY CRAP EVEN IF ITS INTERNET

Notice he responds to the quote from Trev angrily as if he IS Nasser. It's weird because "Trev" was actually saying Nasser wouldn't do it, yet g15 felt the need to quote him and post this all caps response.

Post by: realkarateblackbelt on October 16, 2007, 08:06:08 PM
Both can't keep quiet.

gh15 has to remind us he was a top 5 pro every two seconds and go on bitter rants about bodybuilding;
Nasser is a top 5 pro past his prime still ranting today on radio and in interviews every chance he gets.
Both seem to get angry; gh15 meltsdown in all-caps; Nasser gets pissed on the radio...

James seems more quiet and subdued.

gh15 frequently talks at length about the physiques of Dorian era bodybuilders like Dillet, Dorian, Ray, Milos, etc...
yet never comments on Nasser. When he talks about them it sounds like he's reflecting on the past.

Quote
Q: Do you have a favorite body part and exercise?
N: I don't have a favorite body part nor do I have a favorite exercise. Everyone who is honest prefers machines over free-weights, because machines are more convenient and cause less muscle pain and require less concentration and are generally less dangerous. BUT, if you like to have real gains you have to train hard and heavy, and you have to chose always the LEAST favorite exercises which actually give you the best possible results. So go for the least favorite exercises, the free weights... and go for the muscle pain!

This is from hugenasserelsonbaty.com ...sounds just like gh15.
Title: Re: Nassar Interview: "most competitors nowadays are not as impressive..."
Post by: realkarateblackbelt on October 16, 2007, 08:13:24 PM
Hahahaha

gh15 is always talking about ethnicity/genetics and bodybuilding. Look at this from Nasser's website:

Quote
Q: Do you belive in massive amounts of protein (ie, 1.5gr per lb. of body weight or more), why or why not?
N: Everyone has different DNA and a different gene pool and different metabolism. I belong to the group-type who can maintain my size by not having protein for weeks. To put size on, I do not need more than 100gr of protein daily. High protein intake for me is only important during my pre contest diet.

Quote
Q: Calves and Abs... what's your best advice for training these two body parts?
N: Everyone can develop calves up to a certain degree/level, but people with better genetics will always have better calves. If you don't develop calves after two years of training, you will never have great calves. Two to three exercises per session is absolutely enough. To make your abs clearly visible, you have to do 3 things: super set ab exercises plus decrease you daily calorie intake over weeks/months and increase your cardio on a daily basis.

Q: Do you think machine work can help you achieve mass just as good as free weights?
N: No. Nobody grows really bigger by using machines. You can, and you have to use machines as well, but only in combination with free weights.

Notice the same "know-it-all" authoritarian tone? eh?

Quote
Q: If you could change one thing about Bodybuilding, what would it be?
N: The general public knows to little about the sport of Bodybuilding, and if they seem to know something, it's mostly negative information combined with ignorance and prejudice. The negative view on Bodybuilding comes mostly from lazy, physically inactive people and from jealous people in general. Daily newspapers and television should report about Bodybuilding and they shouldn't be just reports about pros & cons, but rather about local and international shows, like that of any other sport, and not stuff about good or bad things in Bodybuilding. Nobody starts discussions about soccer or football and if it's good or bad or healthy or unhealthy.

Post by: Meso_z on October 17, 2007, 02:27:50 AM
Some VERY interesting MUST-READ quotes from the interview

"After being robbed and cheated by the IFBB so many times so obviously, so that even guys who beat me apologized for placing ahead of me, I am momentarily zero motivated to step onstage again."

"But it is not about Levrone or this or that guy - it is about the judges. One foul apple can make them all bad. Some IFBB judges are drunk while judging, some are drug addicts, some just don't care and some are not from here and judge accordingly (to what they are told) because they are from outside the U.S. and they do not want to get into an argument with another judge because of a competitor. Otherwise they would have had their last paid trip to the U.S. And some just do not get the green light to judge again because they judged outside of the expectation circle."

"I am not saying all judges are bad and oblivious, but a certain percentage of them should not be judging and do not even have a judging, or drivers, licence. Most of the IFBB pro judges are, towards me and on a one-on-one basis, polite and friendly."

"Personally I do not see any dramatic positive changes. There are still too many of the old judges in place. They still have the same attitude and a lot of them have the outcome of the show pre-decided in their head before the show even begins."



Conclusion:
Some of these judges must go to their homes and som of the old athletes and most experienced should take their place! Athletes should do the judging to athletes not old wrecks.

A problem in bodybuilding is that onstage as a amateur or a pro or offstage as a regular guy I have realized that in a lot of cases that when people take anabolic steroids or any kind of substance like synthol, which I have seen being used but never used myself, one application too many can make the body look ridiculous. People lose perspective that this is how they look.

Nasser telling the truth


"Bodybuilding is a sport where you find a lot of drug addicts. They are former drug addicts and they have come into bodybuilding because they have always used needles and pills or they have done anabolic drugs before and they come over to bodybuilding. So there is no real borderline between being an alcoholic, a bodybuilder and a drug addict."

Nasser on Dorian, refreshing to hear the truth.


"He won despite a huge belly (looking like he was pregnant in the sixth month), a waist like a drum, a torn up left biceps, a freshly torn left triceps, a quad tear left, a quad tear right, a torn right hip. "

"Sometimes being in hotels at pro shows (even in the U.S.) where rats are running around in the rooms, where there is no food as promised upon arrival in Europe, or no water and fresh food, and what is there is covered with flies, insufficient transportation (like not enough vehicles to carry all competitors), contest locations like slaughter houses with blood on the walls (in Italy at a so-called Joe Weider's World Cup), bitter cold venues like ice hockey halls, missing drinks, missing towels, no doctors, forgetting to bring weights back stage, chaotic cheap flight arrangements from the side of the IFBB and on and on.

Post by: nycbull on October 17, 2007, 08:22:32 AM
More truth from the Unofficial 1997 Mr. Olympia,


"Personally I would rather, despite my strong criticism of the top honchos of the IFBB, work together with the officials than with one of the backstabbing, even less trustworthy athletes. I am not involved in any bodybuilding friendships either. Bodybuilder friendships, as I said 10 years ago in an interview with (Peter) McGough for Flex magazine, are just based on simple drug connections. What do you have - and what can you get me?"

I read the interview. This is really sad stuff for anyone who likes bodybuilding. I wonder what a young man or woman pouring their heart out and working their asses off and competing in the NPC in hopes of getting a pro card would make of this.

There are young guys out there who really take this stuff seriously, some don't even get college degrees or long-term jobs, in the hopes of being admitted into the IFBB's "pro" league. Don't they see how this league treats the competitors?

Sure, you can still take steroids, train, eat, get huge, etc... but why would anyone want to be a part of this organization and get treated this way????

I'm still reading through it but Nasser's assessment of certain shows is showing an incredible bitterness towards the results and not an accurate assessment.

Dorian was much harder at the 1997 Mr.O. Way too hard for Nasser. Nasser's comment that Dorian did deserve half of his O wins......which three did he lose then? That's a pathetic comment Dorian won them all. This has been discussed enough on here.

As opposed to the 1999 Arnold which Levrone should have won. Nasser, it was over for you by then. You got the title due to your bitching the previous 2 years, where Flex easily won.

He cannot say he was judged unfairly and put down due to his ethnic background and also say he came top 3 in 33 pro shows!

Nasser telling the truth


"Bodybuilding is a sport where you find a lot of drug addicts. They are former drug addicts and they have come into bodybuilding because they have always used needles and pills or they have done anabolic drugs before and they come over to bodybuilding. So there is no real borderline between being an alcoholic, a bodybuilder and a drug addict."

well see it this way,,the reason you are all getting into yoru usa gyms right now and see no one is there and there is a lot more space to train,,or suddenly you see everyone covered with shirts on,,and only couple individual that have left overs from last cycles and they will too will shrink very soon and stop coming,,the reason you see all that is the abuse and misuse of drugs by bodybuilders and the average dumb bodybuilders wanna be! those guys have no borders and have no god,,they will sell their mom for making another dollar and will use anything they can get inorder to become average gym rat that they are!

now when us goverment put a stop to it and go hard on your dumb home made underground dealers in usa,,now! you will see the real bodybuilders come out,,the ones who got the real safe use of hormones,,the one who get it the right way,,the ones who payed dues inorder to use them,,and the ones who will train even with out using those hormones

i can tell you that untill this big operation/s happened bodybuilders and general shmoes made bodybuilding a joke,especially jobless wanna be dealers that operated on us ground,,in the 2000s bodybuilding became a place for the drug heads and im not talking only about the ifbb im talking about bodybuilding in general,,

you saw plenty of times competetive girls coming online ARGUING ME ABOUT THEIR USE OF FLAX SEED OIL TO ACHIEVE THEIR HARD PAPER SKIN BODY,,ofcourse those same females are all hidinding their ass now shrinking to new dimentions because they are scared shitless and know their names are on the lists and paranoid to get busted,,that also show you that there is no brain in their head to understand that the goverment want the heads of the snake not you my little drug abusing fitness honeys,,

but then again those same females and many many many bodybuilders are now changing places and laying very very low ,,not because of steroids my friends! BECAUSE OF THE USE OF ABUSE OF RECREATIONAL DRUGS AS IN NARCOTICS,,TO GET THIE NASTY LOOK THEY BROUGHT ABOUT IN 2000-2007,,goverment will and do go after personal users of narcotics even if for example,,and this is the reason you see many of them laying lower than their heights or simply leaving the us grounds for vacations,,,

i told you before many times that bodybuilding now days become a coctail of rec drugs and hormones and that is the reason for the big thing that happened,,you think its only hormones but the real story is bunch of underground labs that also dealt with rec drugs and distribute poweders of those narcotics inaddition to steroids,,i told you times and times again that narcotics has no place in bodybuilding but no one listen and now when you get a knock on the door because you bought garbage powders and drug making equipment in bulk..dont be surprized!

hopefully this cleaness that going on will bring back bodybuilding to what it used to be and it is mainly the use of hormones and NOTHING ELSE,,you are runing the lives of yourself and your families and the us goverment rightly cut the heads of the snake

This has to be aimed either towards Shawn (when he was the athletes representative) or Bob (he's the actual AR):

"Personally I would rather, despite my strong criticism of the top honchos of the IFBB, work together with the officials than with one of the backstabbing, even less trustworthy athletes."

Bob, you here?! ;D

Hell you can still even compete in the NPC (maybe even IFBB) if you want to. But to take such insane risks with Nubain and diuretics in the hopes of making a few thousand dollars... that is just stupid.

I agree. 

It sounds corny, but you should compete to get in your best shape.  NOT to make money because it probably won't happen.

The long term risks are not worth it.

Besides what is the point of getting your pro card anyway.  The same people always win the shows.

Nasser is bodybuildings new Robin Hood, a modern day Che Guevara, our very own Roosevelt(FDR).

He is going to make positive changes as he continues to bring the fans the truth about this corrupt and sullied industry.  He is a man of ethics who cannot be bought out. He deserves all of our support

Please go to his website and thank him for his courage and honesty.  Let him know you are behind him 100%

I just hope the IFBB doesnt pull a Silkwood on him.

leather is a bi produt of the meat industry, it is not an indication of a cruel person or a caring person. A vegen theroetically could wear leather and not be supporting the killing of animals. The animals were already killed by meat eaters. get it?

thank you for supporting my soapboxism, I wasnt sure if you were being facitious. I think this is a good cause and you would be great at facilitating it since you are very popular and exert influence over the members here. I do not have that power. Team Nasser has begun.

yes vegans do not wear leather, but my point was they could without hurting any animals. They  could boycott leather all they want but it would not save one cow.

Though I didn't see him rip Arnold's physique there (has he done it elsewhere?). He just didn't admire him because he didn't have any academic achievements.

The humor and syntax is very similar. The hate for rec drugs. There are tons of similarities there.

BTW, is this a fresh interview?

From the interview:

I did not have an idol in bodybuilding or sport in general either. I did not want to look, for example, like Arnold because I realized from my analytical way that as a person he had weak legs, droopy shoulders and a huge waist. I could and to this day can take people apart. I can immediately tell you who has what and where his flaws are, his physical weak points, his strong points.

I agree that level of drug use is just plain loony and senseless. However, much as I admire Nasser , it does rub me wrong hearing him say just how much worse the drug use is today. C'mon, by the time you get into the 90's the drug use was already insane in elite bodybuilding * remember poor Andreas Munzer and Momo's post contest deaths.

I think it very possible to compete and do well with moderate drug use , and even drug free.
Granted , it will be tough to turn pro , BUT few pros make much $$$ to make it a real career anyway.
The NPC offers plenty of local and regional shows with teen, and novice divisions along with masters, figure and open.
It is up to the individual to have enough basic sense and regulate their own behavior.
At least Nasser got out with his body still in one piece.
