1. Drug free or enhanced, in the end, it is all the same basic thing...BODYBUILING.
2. Every bodybuilder lifts wts , tries to gain muscle size and/or lose fat at various times during their training.
3. Drugs allow for quicker, more dramatic gains.
4. Pick your path, be honest and enjoy the bodybuilding lifestyle.
5. Being a champion is rare and only a very rare few make it to the top tier.
6. Give a guy's BB claims the bennefit of the doubt unless you have objective evidence that clearly shows he is full of shit.
End of story ;) nuff said.

sounds to me like you walked in a local supplement store (GNC) and the young sales clerk said that you always buy the hardcore stuff behind the glass. Never mind that she could be your grand daughter but she made you feel like a new man and further validated you buying the NO mixed with Creatine hardcore stuff. Have fun on the dark side Howard. Perhaps she will be wife #6

wtf? does that rambling diatribe have to do with drugged or natural BB.

It's Fat Nation or Concentration Camp victims.
Not the same.

Howard reminds me of a guy that doesn't curse calling someone a "crapface" and thinking that he really "told him". he's just so banal

The more I workout and the bigger I get, the more other folks look small and out of shape to me. Maybe it is human nature, but I compare myself with guys who are jacked and I work towards looking like them. The bigger I get the bigger the fellows I compare myself to. What is abnormal becomes the norm overtime.
A few years back, I weighed around 185-190 lbs. I was in good shape but not huge at all. I am 5'10 1/2" tall. I am also 66 years old. Since retiring, I hit the gym six days a week for about an hour or so of lifting and then about 30 minutes of cardio. Today, I weigh 217 lbs. My waist is still 34", but my arms are about an 1 1/2" larger than they were and my quads are a bit bigger too. My neck is bigger. What is weird is that I wear the same clothes and they aren't any tighter....well except my dress shirts no longer button up at the neck and they look like I stole them from some kid. LOL. Still, when I look in the mirror or when I compare myself to someone who I think looks good, I see myself as being small. Is this body dysmorphic disorder?
The point is that how we look is relative to the environment we create for ourselves. And sometime before I croak, I want to look like a fucking superhero! Time to go to the gym and exercise more than my fingers.

Not to worry, you'll be old someday too. Hopefully, you'll still keep hitting the weights, like me. While it isn't the "fountain of Youth" it does help one to be old, healthyand in shape as opposed to old, sick and out of shape.

Someone forgot the "genetic" equation, but I must also concur.
I am living proof.

No kidding.....the Getbig brotherhood, sitting around having a beer, yucking it up, poking fun at each other, generally having a good time. Then along comes Howard, Getbig's version of Officer Farva. An absolute social misfit.

after ten years of hardcore "no drugs bodybuilding", girls can't tell you apart from the next bloke who doesn't even lift weights, and family members ask "do you still lift weights?" you have to ask yourself what is the point? speaking with the voice of experience i assure you THERE IS NO BODYBUILDING WITHOUT DRUGS (hope this helps)
-
what i hate about BB is all these fucking liars in gyms who are clearly using steroids but saying they are natural
-
Any rational person among bodybuilders can agree with such a thing. The real issue is that the majority of the population interested is primarily retarded and operate on everything but logic. It's hard to even try to relate to most that have anything to do with bodybuilding discussion.
-

99.9% of the claimed nattys are not - HTH

It's no wonder anyone with any muscle at all gets the 'He's on gear' accusations if ass clowns on gear are claiming natural status.
What's the point of these clowns claiming natty? Genetic response to gear to shitty to pit oneself against other gear users? Or perhaps just too lazy in the gym so they'll claim natty and it'll account for their lack of muscle.
People still try to convince my fiance, with whom I've lived with for the last 7 years, that I'm on gear. Because anyone with any muscle at all is 'enhanced'. Fuck that shit.

They are just average guys - drugs give them a look that takes them away from average but not good enough to go far in BB so they claim natural and get sponsers etc who play off this natural status to sell supplements - moody and la cour are two that spring to mind - not natural but claim it though..They dont want the drugs to take all the credit so claim its genetics.. norton is another one..
They no doubt work hard in the gym watch what they eat but are loaded on gear also - liars the lot of them.

I agree with you. I see very few, if any at all, natural pros whom I would ever believe to be truly lifetime natural. Key word being lifetime.
-
I agree with one of the above posts. The sport of bodybuilding doesn't exist without drugs. It's a sport based on drugs. Some will say all elite sports are drugs but that isn't true.
-

LOL, name me a sport where you don't need drugs to compete in the top class.

Another LOL, most "Natural" pros are happy if they get off for a few weeks each year i would say.

Which sports do you believe aren't inundated with performance enhanced athletes?
NBA, MLB, NHL, NFL (CFL yeah yeah...), surely are.

Even in shooting and billiard they use drugs, even in horse racing HUMANS use drugs so that the poor horse doesn't have to dope alone.
There is NO competitive sport in the world where people take no drugs. NOT ONE.
-
Golf also - everything uses PED's this is fact - you cannot compete without it

I tend to believe that these days.
Drug use is become prevalent in high school sports, so it's an obvious conclusion that drug use will be more commonplace when the stakes, meaning $$$, are much higher.

Deca for the joints, testosterone for recovering (and obviously no one wants to run deca alone).
Shooters use beta-blockers to stay calm, EVERYONE dopes, and always has. The athletes in ancient greece used herbs and other medicine to outperform their opponents.
-
LOL, all elite sports are drugged? You're a fool in denial because you are a bodybuilding fan. Yes there are drug users in all sports but not all sports are based on drugs like bodybuilding. Do you really believe all baseball players, football players and sprinters are using? I guess the drug tests in the olympics must use really bad technology in their testing.

Oh come on - you dont beleive the tests do you ? Chemists are designing new drugs all the time changing structures to get around tests - drugs that mask other drugs get used to - its a game of cat and mouse and to even bring up the olympics and infer its drug free clearly shows you have your head buried in the sand - no disrepect to you but christ guy open your eyes.. PED's win games and events - athletes use them they always have - do you honestly think world records have been broken by huge amounts compared to what they were 60 years ago all because of diet ? ??? really
-
And as I posted toward you in another thread OT - PED'S is not limited to steroids
-

I was just reading a ' reader's poll ' in Golf Weekly or Golf Digest and it asked if do you think Pro Golfers are using performance enhancing drugs , just their readership poll said over 60% felt Golf pros were using
I believe every single sport the professionals are using something from Tennis , to PGA , to Tour De France , be it GH , test , etc
the old adage applies , the biggest problem with steroids is ..................... they work.

Do they have banned substance lists ? PED could even be classed as caffiene or focusing agents - if they are banned then they are illegal to said "sport" but cards is professional ? hahaha shit how fucked we have become as a race :-\

::)
I'm not using that as proof of use but just the awareness that performance enhancing drugs have reached everywhere for a reason

FYI, the drug tests are a joke. The only ones that get caught are the idiots, for example they caught the columbian goalkeeper in the WOMEN's soccer world cup, she actually was a last day nomination because the originally elected goalkeeper got injured, so she never thought she would play the world cup.
A WOMAN, in SOCCER, testing positive for nandrolone.
You are a fool if you believe that ANYONE who earns a lot of money in sports would not use anything to give him an edge, recover faster, heal their joints and so on and so on.
Baseball, Basketball, whatever, they all use steroids and HGH at some point in their careers, 100%.
Check the old GDR files on doping, hell even 13-14 year old GIRLS were given steroids. You're really dumb.

Ritalin/Birth control are the most common PEDs out there. There's not one thing you can say about rit that isn't true for steroids. People just love to make it a two extremes situation. Either it's all bad or all good. Like anything in life balance is the key, and making decisions on these sorts of deals based on your emotions is just plain childish.
Anyone that has ever considered being an athlete knows you must make many sacrifices and take on many risk. Not just when it comes to steroids, but also the high probability of injury, mental and emotional stresses, and the fact you passing up a series of financial opportunity all in the pursuit of a dream. To think somehow steroids are ruining sports is the perspective of a bunch of keyboards warriors.
