Title: If you are determining if someone is on Steroids....
Post by: bigandbrolic on November 25, 2007, 02:38:24 PM
what are your determining factors?  What would make you say that guy is juicing?


Discuss!!!

290 pounds ripped at 5'8" is usually a good sign. :D

pushing 455 on the bench for 8-10 effortless reps is usually a pretty good sign as well.

errr...just ask them!

Oops I forgot, you guys live in America where it's BAAAAD to juice  ::)

Seriously, there is a look which cannot lie, it's impossible to describe but I'm pretty sure anyone who's around drug assisted athletes often will know exactly what I mean. I've seen the best natural BBers in the world, and all kinds of assisted athletes and it is ALWAYS very obvious who is / isn't on.

It’s like pornography: you know it when you see it.

Bearing in mind that people do have different body types, anyone who seriously trains and eats right knows how a natural body responds in terms of muscle size/growth.  If it doesn’t look natural, it usually isn’t.

Which is my point exactly, duh.

99% of people in the street would assume a decent level natty was "on" juice because he is big / cut / whatever. And the shitty little McD's diet crap genetics rag top wearing no hoper bum who is on a gram and a half a week and doesn't half even close to the mass of the elite level natty will be assumed to be clean because he is smaller / weaker / fatter / whatever.

Whereas the experienced eye know what to look for and can see it a mile away... it ain't size or conditioning that gives it away, or any sides or anything like that. It's a certain, very definite look that people invariably get when they are on vitamin T. Like the poof said, you know it when you see it.

 not too many guys can get much over 200 - 225 lean without drugs.Just my opinion..I'm sure there are guys out there, but if you are 230 + and very low BF you are suspect(unless you are pretty tall)

there is  a difference between natural 225 and a juiced 225, the body compoistion just changes more muscles become pronounced.

Exactly when i was on Deca and Stanazol at 225 i was leaner and the skin became paper thin and more graininess to the muscle a very different look to me natural at 225.

You're being conservative.  Over 190-200 lean (unless you are very tall) is usually juiced.

they stick out and look strange.  Yes, gymnasts have great delts sometimes, but you can spot the difference.  And don't be surprised that some gymnast juice.  To think otherwise would be embarrasingly ignorant

So to you guys all natural bodybuilders and gymnasts or uys in your gyms with any significant delt development are on drugs? No wonder you are under developed and will remain so.

calm down slappy....i'm just giving my opinion answer to the question raised in this thread. 

I have (or at least think) great delts for being a natty...and yes, i've seen some great gymnast delts.....but go check out the delts, especially the rear delts,  on a seasoned juicer and report back.

They're usually the guys with testicular atrophy.  Just ask 'em I'm sure they won't mind letting you have a grab.


But in all seriousness.  What fucking business is it of yours and why do you care?  So you can justify lifting less weight than them or looking smaller than them?  Do you go to the gym to be bigger than everyone?  To impress the ladies?  Or to challenge yourself to be the best/biggest/strongest you can within your personal guidelines (i.e. drug usage, total invested time etc). 

The only people who should care if someone is on crank are those in amateur sport where steroids are not supposed to be used and give a SERIOUSLY unfair advantage to an athlete who uses.  Even in cases like these, unless you can prove it via testing, GET OVER IT.

disproportionate growth of traps/deltoids; backne; significant vascularity; male-pattern baldness; low bodyfat but still have swollen (and often red) face; constant fluctuations in weight (especially for newbies who don't know about PCT); and most importantly: big, cut, and not black.

Good info.

the easiest way to tell is the bloated/red face. i've seen guys at 8% bodyfat and their cheeks stick out to their ears. 

Bright red face, neck and upper chest...

There is a look. Even on guys with not much muscle, the skin gets a look and texture that a seasoned juicer/gym goer can see.

Saying that someone can come off and hold a lot of muscle without that look. I remember when i was clean for 5-6 months people still thought i was on.

But i've seen clean-for-life guys who most people on the street would say was on gear, and i've seen plenty of gear uses who look like rubbish. Only when you know the look can you tell the difference.

ummm noone does pct only people who have no clue, hire any expert and they will tell you PCT is not needed, I know this goes against everything you heard but lets see guys on normal HRT cycles (not those who always take) do no PCT any endocrinologist even those will will give you 400+ test a week will tell you PCT is not needed and guys who advise bodybuilders recently stopped with all that clomid and HCG crap, like Dave polumbo recently wrote in a MD Q&A hes like when women get ogg the birth control pill they dont need to take anything to kick start their system same with men over time body will start on its own

then again usually those who are still busy with strict form crap will also yap about PCT nobody who knows anything does it
