This guy built a great physique without the need for needles and still has it to this day. Why? because he took the natural route and not the roid-cut!!!
Believe and you can achieve.

[ Q ] Let me just say that you have a great physique! How did you build such a great body without the use of steroids?
I began bodybuilding in the late 1970's and everyone back then used the basic exercises with barbells and dumbbells and lots of weight to build their physiques. The gyms were more hard core than they are now and you really had to bust your butt during your workouts to get massive.
I read an article in a 1978 Muscle Builder Magazine in which Arnold advised young bodybuilders who want to get big to do it with hard and heavy workouts and lots of good food. He said that if you developed your physique with these methods instead of using drugs, you would build your physique from scratch and you wouldn't need drugs to build your body.
I took those words to heart and pushed myself extremely hard with the basic exercises (squats, deadlifts, barbell rows, T-bar rows, standing military presses, power cleans, etc) along with eating top quality food (and A LOT of it!). I weighed 135 pounds when I began training at 14 years old and by the time I was 21, I was 230 pounds, all drug free!

The key to getting really massive without drugs is to use the basic exercises with heavy weights. Keep the sets moderate because it doesn't make any sense to do 30-40 sets a bodypart when you are training so heavy and intense. Eat plenty of protein and carbs with at least six meals a day.
[ Q ]What are your feelings about people who choose to use steroids?
To each his own, I say. We all have the freedom to put whatever we want into our bodies as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else. Having said that, it's important to consider that steroids are now considered a felony to use or sell. I personally don't believe that steroids are worth the risk. Many of the people using steroids could make great gains if they trained harder and ate better.
Too many people use them as a shortcut to getting bigger and are not willing to put in the time and hard work that it takes to get big. They would rather use drugs to gain 20 pounds in 8 weeks instead of training and eating good for a year to add 10 pounds. The difference is that the guy who gains 20 pounds in 8 weeks is going to lose that weight after he gets off his cycle and the guy who does it naturally is going to keep it because he earned his muscle. You don't earn any muscle by taking steroids.

Has he been the only Natural Mr.Olympia winner ? Is that contest still around?

Funny how he's the only one that talks about "the natural Mr.O" and how much he followed Arnold footsteps to make it in to this sport.

He has openly admited to using steroids at one point his life?

what a disgusting looking waist

yes he is one of the "inner circle in Iron Age Forum".. they all lick his ass. I mean the guy wants to be forever young and gets upset when people mention anything to do with his age. When i posted on Iron Age Forum he openly admitted he would do anything to slow down the ageing process.

it is what it is,,,nothing wrong with that philosophy regarding holding back time.

Sounds like the kind of secure, easy going, laid back fella that would be fully up-front about his hormone use. :D
-

I think his point was that someone saying that they're willing to do ANYTHING in order to slow the aging process is likely to take PEDs, meanwhile he claims he's natural.
-

I dunno enough about steroids to comment on that. But I do know he has openly admitted to using.
And the Natural Mr. Olympia has a 1 year (maybe 2 or 3, can't emember) drug free requirement, so he didn't break any rules....
It sounds kind of stupid, you can juice for 20 years, then take a year off and be crowned Natural Mr. Olympia, but thats on the organization.
-
Yes he acknowledged using roids when younger.
-
He's about as natural as being 45 minutes into doggy style sex with a big assed brazilan model and then pulling out last minute and saying 'sorry I don't want to squirt my load all over your back' I feel this is degrading to women, just give me a few minutes while I take a cold shower, and instead my blowing my load i'm going to compensate for it by giving you a footrub and then doing the weekly groceries for you so you can relax and do your nails

i know what he meant,,but how are u going to argue endless with someone who claims clean/natural/drug free,,,,

well as a person he always came over as very polite but very vain. I mean get a life..he has i think no life outside Bodybuilding. Don't think any chic wants a guy who looks at his Abs every 2 Min's when she "wants it".

Natural Mr.O interesting dude,
He's not interested in getting old....PERIOD.
He found the fromula, he said that by not having kids he slows down the aging process ..because if you have kids and they get old, (It happens) automatically you get older .......
He thinks he looks 35 and he's the economic version of Arnold he goes to Expos take pictures surrounded by the hot chicks promoting supps and post them online to read the awesome remarks things like "how much he's in heaven and he's cumming day and night"
Yes I heard from his "fans" in another board he really gets offended If you say he looks older or If he's on steroids.

Theres this chic who competes (natural bbing...lol) at my gym whos into me but way more into herself as she just LOVES to go on and on about her training/diet/progress etc. I find it so fucking annoying I just put my headphones on and pretend not to see her anymore. I could never be with anyone who's that much into themselves...I mean I'm the same way but I rather not bore people with shit like that. I guess I would prefer someone whos into me as much as I am ;D
-
This John Hanson guy gets off too easy. He is constantly posting threads on MD and RX Muscle preaching his natural shit...and EVERYONE believes him

From what I've read about him (I'd have to dig through my archives and find my old MuscleMags to get it), he won some local and state shows sans anabolics. He didn't start using them, until he decided to take a whack at the national level. He got beat down there and when he learned of the rather high amounts some of his competitors were using, he decided it wasn't worth it.

A mute who can cook and clean sounds like the perfect woman to me. :D

not all of us.. ;D
Well us here are smarter than that. The reason he posts on those sites is because people are so gullible there, specifically rx muscle

Ha! I bet some of the guys that did better than him in that show were probably on less juice than he was.... but since he thinks he's "all genetics" he cant think otherwise.
WOOSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHH
-
why bother with roids?
because your balls are too big? ???
-

i can't stand rxmuscle man, the people who post there are seriously fucked up in the head...
also, it's muscle woman central
and the amount of noobs on MD...holy shit man i can't stand
GFR is a funny fella though

Hansen himself admits to doing steroids in his book he wrote a few years back.
That right there says it all. There's nothing really special about the guy, really. It's hard to take anybody like him seriously when he's an admitted drug user (not for long, but once is often enough). All his training techniques mimic Arnold's training routines, more or less. That's the biggest sign right there: if he knew anything about training without steroids, he'd realize that drug-free guys can't train like that, on average, and make gains.
It's a shame to say but even Bill Pearl falls under this category. He's admitted to trying them, but won't admit to how much. No matter, if you've done it once, then you're a steroid user. Your credibility is therefore gone. You mean to tell me a drugged to the gills Arnold loses to a completely natural Bill Pearl way back when?...sorry Bill, I have a lot of respect for his physique but I have yet to meet a completely drug-free bodybuilder with an enviable physique...other than perhaps Steeve Reeves, but his genetics are obviously one in a million.

He juiced while dieting for contests. Best time to juice. Cleaned out then hit it again the next year for several years. You arn't looking like him without gear. Clean, maybe, but that's after a lot of juicing still.
