Title: Why isn't natural bodybuilding a bigger deal?
Post by: Howard on May 09, 2008, 09:43:52 AM
 With all the gyms now ,supplement companies,and negatove steroid press, you would think that drug free bodybuilding would be a bigger deal. Sadly, most drug testing shows and sanctions are small, low budget operations.I have often thought that a true drug free bodybuilding organization with the right name and $$ behind it, would be a bigger success than the current IFBB pro div.
Of course, I am also the guy that said this after someone told me,in 1999, that Texas GOV. G. W Bush would be the next president . " That guy can barely complete a sentence, who would ever vote for that numbnut?" Well, Bushy got elected not once but twice and the IFBB is still light years ahead of any natural organization...go figure ;D

As you know, bodybuilding’s appeal lies in the freak factor.  People like to see big freaky physiques that they couldn’t see otherwise.  Why pay to go to a natural show when you can see the same physiques (or bigger physiques) in your local gym, at the beach, etc.?  People like to push the envelope and audiences want to see the envelope pushed.  Physiques have gotten a lot bigger over the years—not smaller.  If the bodies got smaller people would stop going.  Bodybuilding is a fringe sport; natural bodybuilding is a fringe within a fringe.

I've seen some of the guys that compete in organizations like the WNBF. Maybe it's just me. But I don't see Jim Cordovas and Rodney Helaires falling out of the sky at the local gyms in my area.

Who cares about 165lb shredded guys posing in glitter panties on stage?  Add 100lbs to those genetically gifted competitors via gear and then we have a reason to collect cash.

You must also remember that a number of the better natural bodybuilders compete in the open NPC shows (more exposure and publicity). Unfortunately, natural bodybuilding is in a no-win rut, it seems. The better you look, the less-likely people think that you're drug-free (I refer you to the bazillion threads, questioning Skip LaCour's drug-free status that have been started over the years).

People only believe you're drug-free, if your physique lacks shape and proportion and/or you're ripped but look like a (relatively speaking) twig.

Yea, whatever Tulip. Skip LaCour is totally on MuscleTech. One of my inside sources says he used a stack like this for the 2005 Team U...

 NirtoTech: 3 shakes daily.
 Cell-Tech: Upon awakening and post-workout.
 AnatorP70: 1 shake daily.
 Pump Tech: 6 pills pre-workout.
 Creakic: 4 pills on workout days only.


 That's a pretty sick cycle. You can't possibly think he's natural on a boatload of shit like that.

I do think that natural bodybuilding is on the up though.Top supplement companies such as EAS,CNP,Reflex,Maximuscle,Savant(Udo's Oil) etc. are sponsoring the shows here in the UK and both audience and competitor numbers are on the increase.

Yeah, but consider that the figure/fitness girls are lot more marketable then the pro female bodybuilders.
Plus, look at the winners of the typical beauty contest or even bikini contest, etc.
I think that IFBB has a steady, devoted hardcore crowd that wants the freaks. But this crowd is limited and won't grow. A natural , more mainstream kind of physique contest would have huge potential, just like when figure came in and outpaced the female bodybuilders.

Yes, they love the freaks. Look at a guy like Nasser, 300 rock solid pounds with perfect abs.

but no one wants to see naturals. Naturals look like complete shit and everyone laughs at their pitiful bodies.

even the old school were running plenty of gear.
physiques with no gear look like shit. the ones that don't are guys denying they used.

One problem with natural bodybuilding is that it is  compared to juiced bodybuilding.I mean a natural guy compared to a Ronnie Coleman looks silly.In other pro sports,the guys that weren't juicing were still fantastic.Mickey Mantle is still remembered as great,the same with NBA guys and NFL guys.In fact,many think Jimmy Brown wasstill the greatest football player ever.Because bodybuilding is only about the body,its too easy to see the differences between juiced and non juiced physiques.

In fact,its very hard to even know if there ever was a truly clean pro bodybuilder,as the sport developed at the same pace as steroid use.

I think what your seeing with female bodybuilding is such a departure from a feminine ideal that it narrows the appeal even further.    This has an effect on the perception of female bodybuilders as they become more muscular they are viewed as more masculine. Female bodybuilding loses its titillation/sex appeal except for a few weirdos who find women with stubble attractive.  It is different for men.  Muscle equals masculine power or maleness and in some ways by some individuals it is viewed that the more muscle the more masculine or powerful.  I am not argue against what your saying about naturals just providing a reasoning for the popularity of unnatural competition over natural.

If there's one poster who truly lives up to his name, it's you.

Notwithstanding your aversion to making a complete dope out of yourself, it would help if you actually got your facts straight.

First, why are you obessesed with MuscleTech? Nobody here has even mentioned the company, until you arrived, spewing your usual brand of foolishness.

Second, LaCour didn't compete in the 2005 Team Universe, his last TU appearance was in 2003, winning his class but losing the overall to Jeff Willet.

Third, LaCour has never been with MuscleTech. He's worked for MET-Rx, Twinlab (especially when Blechman was running "All-Natural MD"), and for the past several years, he's been with AST.

Of course, MuscleTech has little to do with the subject at hand. That's merely you, operating in rebel-without-a-clue mode.

yes buts thats because of sex appeal

and because woman's BBing is contrary to what is the ideal "female" since they are taking male hormones and end up barely resembling anything female or feminine------as opposed to Male BBing, where they are taking copious amounts of testosterone (the male hormone) and becoming basically super masculine

I'm happy you understand that distinction.  When I ask girls if they like male bodybuilders they often follow up by asking me whether or not I like female bodybuilders which doesn't make much sense to me because muscle is hyper-masculine, and it would make more sense if I like Kate Moss for example, who is extremely thin (if we look at thin as being a feminine trait, then Kate Moss would be hyper-feminine.

There's also the matter of determining how long someone has to be drug-free to be considered "natural". A year? Three years? Five years? Natural for life?

How do you implement the program? Simple urinalysis? Polygraph? Both?

And who gets tested (because drug-testing ain't cheap): Everybody? Just the top 5 per class (for the amateurs)/those who place in the money (for the pros)?

See I disagree...it could easily grow IMO. The problem is not that there aren't enough people left to induce more growth...the problem is the IFBB does not market itself in the best fashion IMO. It seem to me that nearly all the marketing is aimed at current fans...there is hardly ever anything done to try and branch out to knew audiences. As far as what needs to be done to remedy this problem, well I'm not a marketing genius, dint' claim to be...but if the IFBB could some how add some sort of glam/flashy appeal to itself just like every other sport on the planet does and every thing that is deemed sport on ESPN, i.e. poker...then it would be doing something IMO.

Sadly most of the time you have to rely on the integrity of the competitor.A full spectrum urinalysis by UK-Sports costs approx £300($600?) so only a small number can be tested each show.There have been a number of cheats caught in the past few years though including the 2007 Overall British Champion,Chris Jones-who was stripped of his titles,had to return his trophies and received a lifetime ban.

A. Natural bodybuilders are small, with true naturals almost never competing above 200 pounds. Chances are there will be people in the audience above 200 pounds and fairly lean.

B. Everyone knows the people competing at natural shows are geared up anyway, so why watch pretenders?

As you know, bodybuilding’s appeal lies in the freak factor.  People like to see big freaky physiques that they couldn’t see otherwise.  Why pay to go to a natural show when you can see the same physiques (or bigger physiques) in your local gym, at the beach, etc.?  People like to push the envelope and audiences want to see the envelope pushed.  Physiques have gotten a lot bigger over the years—not smaller.  If the bodies got smaller people would stop going.  Bodybuilding is a fringe sport; natural bodybuilding is a fringe within a fringe.

very well said

Not any level of massive success, but some have done a few things. IFBB fitness pro Kim Lyons was the Trainer of Biggest loser, Madonna Grimes & Tsiianna[?] Joelson hosted MTV workout shows, Alicia Marie has also been on MTV and modeled for a few mainstream companies. Julie Shipley models for some mainstream companies. A few are on American Gladiators. Lisa Varon and some more went on to WWE wrestling.

Nothing huge like mega stars or anything, but compared to female bodybuilders - they are definitely more marketable.

Natural bodybuilding is a farce. The vast majority of competitors are former drug guys who were not able to compete with the real bodybuilders. Natural bodybuilding is like watching women's basketball...a less interesting, less impressive version of the real sport.

One problem with natural bodybuilding is that it is  compared to juiced bodybuilding.I mean a natural guy compared to a Ronnie Coleman looks silly.In other pro sports,the guys that weren't juicing were still fantastic.Mickey Mantle is still remembered as great,the same with NBA guys and NFL guys.In fact,many think Jimmy Brown wasstill the greatest football player ever.Because bodybuilding is only about the body,its too easy to see the differences between juiced and non juiced physiques.

In fact,its very hard to even know if there ever was a truly clean pro bodybuilder,as the sport developed at the same pace as steroid use.

take the hormones out of bodybuilding and there is no bodybuilding for ken wheeler = pathetic physiqe which shoudl tell you a lot! and you must remember friends ken wheeler is NOT off hormones!

The guy on the right is Jon Harris,a good friend of mine,who is undoubtedly lifetime natural.He competes at around 170 lbs at 5 ft 7 in but gives the illusion of looking much larger onstage as many of the top natural bodybuilders do.If you think you need drugs to get to this level then you have serious issues-try good genetics plus a great work ethic.

With all the gyms now ,supplement companies,and negatove steroid press, you would think that drug free bodybuilding would be a bigger deal. Sadly, most drug testing shows and sanctions are small, low budget operations.I have often thought that a true drug free bodybuilding organization with the right name and $$ behind it, would be a bigger success than the current IFBB pro div.
Of course, I am also the guy that said this after someone told me,in 1999, that Texas GOV. G. W Bush would be the next president . " That guy can barely complete a sentence, who would ever vote for that numbnut?" Well, Bushy got elected not once but twice and the IFBB is still light years ahead of any natural organization...go figure ;D

I juice my ass off, but i can easily pass a drug test. What's the point of natural bodybuilding when it's only natural on paper?

no ,,your friend is a liar and lies to you ,,he would be 5'7 142 on stage naturally and he got no arms! although using hormone,,

pay attention to pufines of nipples and its not from teenage years ,,he has puffy nip though he is at very low bodyfat% there and that = use of hormones and higher level of hormones in the blood that is not consistant enough inorder to AVOID the puff,,if you use hormones more constant you have less chance to develop this but he is natural and that means the usage is limited to specific time of the year depening on competition and testing,,his gyno is a result of orals rather than injects,,if you want gh15 to name the products he uses gh15 will do it too

Once, at a show, a guy came up to me saying he was totally natural for the show. "I only used insulin", he said. He also forgot I saw him buy steroids 8 weeks earlier. Weighed in at a whopping 135lbs. That's the way it goes usually, natural has many meanings.  :D

According to GH15, he = on juice, would weigh 142 pounds off juice and GH15 can name the product Jon Harris = supposedly on.

Never just look at bodyweight when determining if someone is on juice. Guys can be heavily juiced and not weigh much. The heaviest juicer I knew weighed about 155lbs on stage.

Look at Ken Jones from the NY pro, what does he weigh? Not much I bet but there's probably decades of juicing behind that body.

You = correct, but the bodyweight does give some indications, and along with other factors, it helps paint a picture.

You're such a cynic ;D I can't comment on the US but in the UK I believe that 90% of natural bodybuilders are genuine.I have competed since 2004 to a fairly high standard and have a lot of good friends in natural,and assisted,bodybuilding.During this time I have seen some cheats get caught and a few others who have been suspect slip through the net.The size and thickness on naturals is just not there though compared to users-we rely on shape,symmetry and condition to create an illusion of looking big onstage.If you see a natural bodybuilder when they are dieted down,offstage in normal clothes you probably would not realise that they were a bodybuilder at all(although UnderArmor can help ;) ). I respect your knowledge and opinion but I don't believe that natural bodybuilding is your specialist subject and you are wrong in this case.Perhaps is you attend a few natural shows in the UK you may change your mind? I'm sure I could arrange a free ticket for you-maybe even get you to present a trophy ;D

Sadly most of the time you have to rely on the integrity of the competitor.A full spectrum urinalysis by UK-Sports costs approx £300($600?) so only a small number can be tested each show.There have been a number of cheats caught in the past few years though including the 2007 Overall British Champion,Chris Jones-who was stripped of his titles,had to return his trophies and received a lifetime ban.

Trye enough Moosejay, but that is not my main issue with GH15. He would be a lot more credible if he stuck with drug regimes that known , obvious users take. feeling that he must attack , even the idea of doing the sport without a boatload of drugs is what me wonder wbout him.
He acts like drugs are the most important thing and that you should not even try bodybuilding unless you use a bunch of drugs, etc. That is such crap.

Agreed.

I used as from 1983 to 1990.

Natural since....and I find it more of a challenge to go as far as I can now without....I really want to know what my true, innate potential is.

Granted, the elite of the sport are all on, but they represent a small % of all the lifters out there.
I myself, am nothing special and made decent gains over the years.
99% of naturals are not liars and you are NOT a credible source. You do sound like a guy who never could gain decent size, so you figired it must be all drugs and not your genetics.
Good luck, but I don't find your tales very credible nor do I accept them.
Thanks, Howard

You are so clueless it's sad. A lifetime in the sport but still have the blinders on. You're a lot like Basile who thinks you can build pro level size with "the right training program".

I recently looked at a natural orgs site and it practically endorsed some steroids you could still take (ones not banned from OTC sale yet). Very natural indeed.

no,,what gh15 says is that you can bild good FOUNDATION naturally ,,,NOT COMPETITOR LEVEL! but good foundation! then you have to go on hormones if you ever wanna look like a bodybuilder,,there is a big diff between sitting in a restaurant at 220lb every day joe and 220 lb bodybuilder joe my friend and the diff start and ends with drugs!

its funny to me how the last few posts all the guys who write then been on drugs ,,,howard been on drugs cremes testo boosters and is far from natural although nothing to write home about as he says,,and moosjy says for himself he took hormones for 7 years!!! if you take hormones for one single month you already cant and wont be natural ,,,ofourse if you been on 7 years you brought yourself to new minimum and know specific products you can still take later on and keep your bodybuuilding up to par,,,the key point is if neither took hormones neither would be going anywhere in bodybuilding,,,not amatuer and ofcourse not professional

Yes and the same bunch that believes your nonsense thinks that Muscletech "Halo" will put 100 lbs on their bench.
GH15, look, it is not your info on drugs and those who use them that I take issue with. It is your contstant  tirades against anyone making real bodybuilding gains without drugs.
Maybe you know your crap about drugs, maybe not, I could care less, drugs are not part of my perosnal BB world.
I do know that their are plenty of bodybuilders just like me, who are not IFBB pros but built fine contest bodies on little or no drugs  my friends. We will just keep on making gains and you can wats etime posting about how it is impossible. Good luck, Howard

LOL, first it was you could build a fantastic competitor physique with no drugs. Now it's with "little drugs". Just like in the pro drug testing topic you are changing your opinion slowly as you realize that drug free = nothing to look at.  :D

My pt was and is, that you don't need a boatload of drugs , like GH15 states to compete in a Mr Podunk and do well.
Sure, I use Androgel, now at 49 to keep my testosterone levels in mid range normal/ideal range.
I did use small amounts of drugs from 1983 -1986 and competed without anything from 87-95.
If drugs taken years ago, has an effect on my muscle building now, I sure got a lot from that stuff LOL.

It is my impression that gh15 simply wants to belive that any decent, contest physique is the result of drugs and drugs only, which is crazy.
Do all elite level pros use drugs? Of course.
Does every city or state champ use? No!

Some of these guys wouldn't tell their wives about their "stack", yet some casual friend is willing to swear for them  ::)
it would appear that everyone has solid proof that everyone is natural.


The human body has not changed in 100s of years. Yet we see "naturals" today looking 10 times bigger and leaner than Steve Reeves.   ::)

are you really a teacher? cant you comprehand what gh15 says,,drugs are integral part of any bodybuilder that you take second look at ,,ofcourse some try to do it with out drugs its obvious,,i understand you only chose to take little drugs :D but you too take drugs and took drugs and already reached your max before you started competed in the 80s while you were on those drugs,,bodybuilding is possible to do with out drugs but it will be more of a fitness fit type of contest rather than bodybuilding,,kapeesh? good
not only we iffb pros use drugs ,,many many amatuers do it and many many gym rats and fitness enthusiastc and in america girls are big time into drugs BIG BGI TIME for losing their fat rolls,,so relax and try to understand what gh15 is saying

no gh15 doesnt state and didnt state that inorder to be mr country club no where to be found town you need to use lots of drugs,,thats not what gh15 stated,,now read carefully what gh15 stated!

EVERY BODYBUILDER THAT WIN A STATE SHOW HAS BEEN TO THE DRUGS FOR LONG ENOUGH TIME AND FOR HIGH ENOUGH DOSES AND PRODUCTS TO MAKE THE DIFF FOR HIM OR HER,,IN 1008 AND IN GENERAL SINCE MID 90S YOU WONT FIND NATURAL GUYS IN STATE SHOWS,,I DONT CARE WHAT THEY TELL YOU AND HOW MUCH WE LIE TO YOU ,,HERE I CAN TELL IT LIKE IT IS I USE THIS BOARD TO TELL IT LIKE IT IS,,TO YOUR FACE I MAY VERY WELL SAY THAT I USE 1 AMPOUL A WEEK BUT HERE ILL SAY IT AS IT IS,,

TO WIN MR PONDAK YOU DONT NEED LOTS OF DRUGS BUT THE WINNER OF THAT COMPETITION AS OF 2008 WILL USE SOMETHING BE SURE OF THAT!
TO WIN ANYTHING AT THE STATE LEVEL OR NATIONAL LEVEL AN DPROFESSIONAL LEVEL YOU NEED TO USE DRUGS CONSISTANTLY AND TO KNOW HOW TO USE THEM RIGHT AND TO KNOW HOW TO GET THE RIGHT SHIT! BECAUSE THERE ARE LOTS OF FAKES GOING AROUND FRIEND

 NirtoTech: 3 shakes daily.
 Cell-Tech: Upon awakening and post-workout.
 AnatorP70: 1 shake daily.
 Pump Tech: 6 pills pre-workout.
 Creakic: 4 pills on workout days only.


 That's a pretty sick cycle. You can't possibly think he's natural on a boatload of shit like that.

there is a huge explosion of the cardio industry here in canada,

people dont dig bodybuilding or even fitness (anymore), they re all into cardio which allow them to release themselves without having to understand anything but how to use two or three machines.

IN most gyms here 40 to 50 % of the customers are REGULAR cardio freaks, you have 30 % of men , either teens or adults who for some reasons think that they re going to look like schwarzeneger in one month of joining a gym, and 30% who are serious lifters with almost half of them juicing.


On a side note, there are more and more people lifting weights at home, just working on their arms, hamering biceps triceps and shoulders every single day just to show off in the summer. They are potentially future "natural bodybuilders".

Too many people use drugs and get no good results from them just big guts and bloated body. They overload thinking they will look like the guys in the magazine but they dont eat right or train correctly. The best way to go is to be natural because you dont have too worry about side effects and can have a good build with the cut 6 packs abs and low body fat.  I'd rather have 19" arms with a small waist then 23" with a big gut.

If they did REAL drug testing via blood testing, we could eliminate the "natural" guys that use Finabolan, GH and Insulin right up to the day of a show and still pass the test.  Sponsors would follow if all the bodies were indeed drug free. I've yet to hear of one "natural" federation that does proper IOC level testing.

Naturals at a low body fat level will most often look like shit.  I think the lowest a natural can go and still keep some muscle size is around 11-12%.  Go lower than that and you look like a skinny swimmer.

Oh and I'm calling bullshit on the 19 inch arms with a six pack as a natural. ::)

I've yet to hear of one "natural" federation that does proper IOC level testing.  
I was a very successful natural bodybuilder so I got into promoting a natural BB show and wished I could have done a full IOC drug test but the problem is they are too expensive and you don't get the results back immediately.  Back then(1990's) a simple urine screen cost $50 an athlete and results took 7-10 days.  I was told a full IOC test would run me $300 and it still wouldn't test for everything that an athlete could use.  These fees are too high to work into the entry fee and too high for the promoter to eat the cost.  Unless you have a sponsor willing to pay for all the drug testing it is very expensive to put on a natural show and just break even.  I struggled with choosing a cheaper not as good test but testing every athlete or using a better test and not being able to test everyone due to the expense.  I chose the better test and made sure the top 3 of every class got tested as well as a not so random selection of other athletes(if you looked like you were using, had noticeable side effects, you got selected).  My show had the reputation of having the best drug test in the NPC in the state and a lot of athletes did my show just to prove they were clean.  Of all the tested shows in the state only my show had people failing the drug test.  One year was very controversial when an athlete that had won an overall at a tested show the week before failed my test.  I tested him 3 times at my expense and he failed each time so I kicked him out of my show and he would have won the overall there too.  I also tested my drug tester by sending him athletes that weren't competing but were on steroids, had been on steroids and never took steroids and he caught every single one of the users.  Every single athlete that failed, except the one mentioned above that I tested 3 times, admitted to me that he was using something and tried to beat the test.  I stopped competing on the national level when I saw a guy who failed the drug test at my show a few weeks earlier competing in my class at the Team Universe after passing the drug test there.  I was shocked at how pathetic the testing was at that level and haven't competed since.
