Title: pictures of bbers on/off steroids
Post by: Natural Man on February 24, 2010, 09:56:44 AM
i rememnber seeing a great thread some years ago with pics of bbers looking like the average 160 lbs dude walking down the street off steroids compared to the pictures where they are 300lbs on "stage"

could you guys collect and post in this thread these pics if you have them or know where to find em, especially the ones of dillet looking like a skeleton under his long coat, alexander federov looking like a chess player, this arab guy  mo el something , the now classical tom prince on/off comparison etc

I d like to make a point with someone who has no clue about the whole thing and who's starting to train and think he's going to get huge in less than 6 months while pointing at pictures of prop bbers to justify his delusional claims...

the hair on the arms gives the illusion of smaller size, so remove the arm hair and both guns are about the same size.

how many past heavy juicers even train when they go off?

most know they will be getting very small results for a lot of effort so don't don't even bother.

Yes! Most of them are so lazy that they don't have the mentak power to build themselves without the drugs! For me tha't the biggest joke in bbing!

The point is, why should they? With tons of drugs they are at their old level in no time again anyway.

If they lose 40 pds in the off-phase with training, or 50 pds without training, doesn't make a difference for them I guess, they shrink dramatically both ways when off the sauce.

Wrong. ARNOLD NEVER STOPPED TRAINING he just woudnt let anybody take pics of him working out while he "lowered" the dosage as he didnt got off drug completely until late 90's.

He never "lowered" it tool.. he went completely off. Pro's back then only cycles for the shows.. about 10 weeks worth. Not the crap that happens now where it 365 days a year and then they drop dead at 55 from a heart attack

No, Arnold didn't have a problem being photographed at less than his best. In fact there are plenty of pics of him posing and training looking like a rank amateur. He only cared how he looked onstage when a title was on the line.

Fan Boy?"  Im probably old enough to be your father, Youre the fan who believes that crap that he never touched a weigh before Competition,

Not me, I know that he didnt like people around in the gym when he was 'smaller"  (Uncle Joe didnt want pics of his poster boy looking average either and he was the bill payer) Coached by Joe,Arnold NEVER talked about injuries either, same reasons of selling the so called "perfect Weider principles" but he hurted his left elbow and shoulder in his early years therefore stopped trainning heavy at age 25 or 26 he never benched 405 after that yet he went to win numerous Mr.O.... by simply upping or lowering the dosage'.

That is free info you can take it or leave it.

Arnold would simply blow up lifting just 225 on bench press, would shrink and kept lifting same 225 lbs.


In first pic he's 27 the other 28-29, if you think he wasnt trainning or juicing in the later one, bodybuilding has a lot in store for you.

arnold didn't look that bad in those posted pics,,, aside from the jogging photo...

some guys don't really live the life,,, training like an athlete all year round,,, some guys do... now unless someones "on" they don't bother and sure it happened back in the day also.  
however cream always rises to the top.
true bb'n is a 24hr a day 365 day a year lifestyle which includes weight training almost everyday.  if you want to look good/jacked all the time without having to take a pill of needle.
  some people are just addicted to lifting weights.  i am.  have been for the past 10yrs.  it's nice to be built for show and built to go, athlete,, the only way to have this is live that warrior life.  train everyday.  sometimes it's good to give the joints and muscle a rest for a week or 2 but you gotta bring ass to get ass. hurt business baby.

this is a cool thread.

that pic os mustafa is sick,,, wheres all his extra skin??? must have alotta stretchies.  prince got sick so you can't count him really, not sure about dillet.  for every pic thats posted theres another that can dispute it.  how about dave draper? still in great shape. how about larry scott, another big old timer.  how about vince taylor, even though he may still be "on"....  serge nubret.  
guys that built the base without using are of course the guys that still look great without,,, sure guys that used early and are just good "responders" go back to nothing because they never really had it to begin with.

I'm a prime example. On cycle, I'm 240ish 10% BF. After years off about 220 at 13-15% bf. I still look like I work out and have 19 inch arms, but juice does noticeably increase my size and look but it's not really night and day. Oh, and life after juice does suck in the gym, really bad.

it would eman all guys from this era with a great full chest had implants too so im not buying it...

Joe meeko believed whatever people told him that was his downfall.

Arnold had a supreme chest by anyone's standards - same with biceps.

His calves were very good. The reason they weren't good before 1968 is because he'd barely trained them before then. Once he trained them they grew easily like the rest of his body.

sometimes it's tough to seperate hype,,, like the story of arnold going to hotels with a truck a dumbells,,, then again...
sometimes truth is stranget than fiction. that coulda been for a movie though... entertainment biz standards.

any real info on those calf implants...  looked like muscle in pi,,, then again that's kinda stuff goes under the muscle...
 i don't think that was the case with arnold though.  once you get big calves, that's the last muscle to shrink even without any training so.

I personally don't understand how one lets them self go from one extreme to another. At my heaviest on, I was 257. Off I'm 220 but still look like I work out, although not as thick or strong. These guys with the extreme "makeover" obviously completely turn their back on the whole bodybuilding lifestyle, including juice, eating right, supplementing and even working out.

I personally don't understand how one lets them self go from one extreme to another. At my heaviest on, I was 257. Off I'm 220 but still look like I work out, although not as thick or strong. These guys with the extreme "makeover" obviously completely turn their back on the whole bodybuilding lifestyle, including juice, eating right, supplementing and even working out. I just don't get how that can be your whole life and passion for so many years and you have nothing to do with it anymore.

In my opinion, its psychological. The pros juice and get crazy big. However, when they stop competing, and lay off the juice, why eat healthy and train? I mean, you won't be as big as you were before. If they can't juice and be huge, they won't settle for being natural and just being mediocre. It an "All-Or-Nothing" mentality. They can't have a happy medium. Yes, it's flawed logic, but people who stick that much shit into their body definitely have flawed cognitive perceptions of themselves and reality. Actually, the  "All-Or-Nothing" mentality is very much akin to clinical depression. These people only see the bad side of things. They never see the good side. Same with bodybuilders and their physique.

Most people are happy with being decently built.

Because (intelligent) people realize that there are other priorities in life then injecting a bunch of juice, putting on a glittery thong and slapping on pro tan and prancing around a stage on the weekends.. people have obligations, families, jobs, careers, some get sick and can't continue, etc. everyone has a different reason why they quit the 'dream' . Tom Prince and Flex Wheeler lost their kidneys, Matarazzo had heart failure, etc. etc.


Yes, but to quit working out altogether? Sure, priorities are set, people mature, but working out is something everyone should include in whatever routine they have if life.

some people don't really love it,,, only the effects and attention when they're "on"
whether you use or not flexb, i don't but we certainly have the same feelings toward weightliftin', trainin', bodybuidlin' etc., so...  8) and to everyone that's loves it the same, reason i been here for so long and will be here.
that's why,,, years ago people loved to train,,, nowadays with, media, advertising, supplements and society in general,,, no one really loves to lift weights anymore... goes along with what ronnie said, " everybody wanna be a bodybuilda but don't nobody wanna lift weights...."

on the north east coast, i'm ny, we had a lot of snow recently,,, very few people will even shovel... only plow or snow blowers... my area had some power outage for couple days,,, buncha pansies,,, middle aged yuppie maggots cryin' like babies, hosewives complaining like they're entitled...  these people woulda never survived late 1800's early 20th century... it's amazing.  like simple tasks are impossible to do... most guys need help liftin a 50lb. bag of salt/sand.  life in this society is a joke.

              not everybody, i had to shovel my 200 ft double wide driveway with a shitty plastic shovel we got like 24 inches of snow that drifted to 4 ft or so at some spots when i was done with that i did my front walks with the same plastic shovel. then i did my 87 yo neighbors 100 ft driveway and walks, called my 82 yo father up and ask if he wanted me to do his, he already shovelled his own driveway and walks. took a two hour break than lifted weights for an hour and a half. i took it easy 10 sets of 22 rep chins 3 sets of 125 lb one arm rows than lat pulldowns 8 sets various grips and wts. than 6 sets of benches last set 400 by 3 reps than 5 sets of dips 5 sets of floor dips 6 sets of inclines last set best set 125 by 12 reps. than waist work for 20 minutes. than i walked my siberian husky through 24 inches of snow for 2 hrs. than i took it easy the rest of the day.
