Title: Questions for John Hansen, Were you ever tempted?
Post by: Wiggs on July 31, 2018, 04:36:15 PM
Greetings Sir, I enjoy your Bodybuilding Legends videos.  You do a great job and thank you for all you do.  I have random questions, why'd do decide to stay natural vs. "super"natural? What was it like seeing people make crazy gains?  Were you ever tempted?  Oh and to keep it light, other than yourself, who is your favorite bodybuilder and why?  Who were some guys you looked up to when you came up Thanks again.

He used in the past by his own admission. Would not rate him 100% natty becose of that fact.
Seems solid as a person tho.

Was never a super natural like Mike O'Hearn but a fine natty athlete nonetheless. :P :-\

Bodybuilding.com interview -

https://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/johnh3.htm -

"When I started competing, especially on the national level, I realized that the drug usage was much more extensive than that."
I thought if I could do a 12 week steroid cycle before the Mr. Olympia each year, that wouldn't be so bad. I read that Arnold and other guys of his era would only use the drugs for a few months before competing each year and they would stay clean the rest of the year.
However, when I started competing, especially on the national level, I realized that the drug usage was much more extensive than that. It was at that point that I decided the risk wasn't worth the reward. I wasn't willing to take the amount of drugs necessary to possibly turn pro and then continue taking the drugs throughout my career as a pro bodybuilder.

I never wanted to put myself in the position of being forced to take drugs in order to keep my physique competitive with the other guys I would be competing against. It was just something I couldn't do. So, to answer your question, I guess I would say no, I wouldn't take the drugs even if it meant I could win the Olympia."


https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=2685401 , Post 27 by Hansen -

"Thanks for asking that question and I would love to explain my answer to clear everything up.

The short answer is, yes, I did use steroids about 20 years ago when I was in my early twenties but I used them only in preparation for the competitions I was entering so that was for 12 weeks once a year. I DID NOT use them to build my physique, only to hold onto muscle and keep my strength up when I was dieting.

My original goal when I started training at 14 years old was to win the Mr. Universe and be in the magazines like the guys I read about in Muscle Builder Magazine. I didn't know anything about steroids until I read an interview with Arnold in a 1978 issue of Muscle Builder magazine. In that issue, Arnold admitted that he used steroids in preparation for a contest and that all of the top bodybuilders competing in the Mr. America, Mr. Universe and Mr. Olympia used them. However, Arnold said that the drugs were only being used as a "finishing touch" and that they only accounted for a 5-10% improvement in the physique but, without that 5-10% extra improvement, you would risk losing the contest. "

Also not to be a dick, but he competed at #20-40lbs over the steroid using stars of the 60's - early 80's at around the same height.

Anyone who vouches for O'Hearn being natural, like he did, is a liar alternately a retard.

This is just a guy who saw he wasn't going to amount to anything in bodybuilding, so he found a way to stand out despite that fact. So now he's a Natural Mr O! Not that too many people care, in reality. I bet this guy has used drugs more consistently and for a longer period of time than most pros.

Hey, Wiggs, you didn't know he wasn't a virgin.  

Not a biggie.

Lots of guys used steroids at some point and then decided to go the natty route.

Good for Hansen.  He complied with the rules for the organization he competed in.

I believe him.  He's a good guy.   He trains hard and has great mental discipline.  He cuts gradually over a LONG period of time to achieve his definition.

There are lots of these "natty" guys that are liars and they cheat unfortunately.  Hansen is not one of them.

What is the test of truth here? Hansen is innocent unless someone has evidence showing otherwise. I don't accept opinions re steroid look no matter how expert they claim to be.

I well remember those days back in the sixties and seventies. There we were blasting away and lucky to get 17 1/2 inch cold arms. How on earth could we compete against Sergio and Arnold. Impossible. Almost no one admitted using steroids then because it was cheating.

So what to do in those days? Well, if you wanted to win a national title you didn't have much choice unless you were the rare natural bodybuilder. Those who did use Dianabol kept it to themselves so who could prove otherwise?

How fucking retarded are you?? He admitted to past use!! Guys were not ashamed to admit to steroid use back in Arnold's days at all they could easily go to the doctor and get them prescribed! You are a moron!

Post by: Vince B on August 02, 2018, 05:37:01 AM
Sorry, I forgot that everyone is an expert on Getbig, even dopey gimmicks!

The fact that someone admitted using steroids in the past doesn't mean he wasn't natural for a particular contest.

It depends on when the steroids were abandoned.

I am aware that many natural contests are controversial and some claim there are cheats winning them.

Title: Re: Questions for John Hansen, Were you ever tempted?
Post by: IroNat on August 02, 2018, 05:45:41 AM
He admitted he used them in the past.

He did not use them in the natty contests and met the rules.

Every natty organization has different rules.  Some do not require you to be a lifetime natural.  Some do.

That's all there is to it.

By Vince’s admission “thst he doesn’t accept the steroid look,” then I guess Ronnie Coleman is natural because we have no evidence he used drugs.

Vince Basile is a dope.

John Hansen -

(https://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/johnh_4_big.jpg).

Height: 5'8
Weight: 210 (contest) 235 (off-season)

-------------------------------

Bodybuilders at same height (plus or minus a inch or two) , that Hansen has tied or weighed more than in contest shape -

Mike Mentzer, Surge Nubret, Larry Scott, Rick Wayne, Sergio Oliva (1966 Mr. Universe), Albert Beckles, Roy Callender, Bill Whitehead, John Grimek, Samir Bannout, etc....

Guys he comes close to - Dave Johns 218 @ 5' 10",  Dennis Tinerino 217 @ 6' , Kal Szkalak 215 @ 5' 10" .

------------------------

Weights were take from -

http://www.musclememory.com/articles/MrAsizes.html .

http://www.musclememory.com/articles/universeStats.html .

https://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/topicoftheweek94.htm .

And some personal recollections, I'm sure others can name more.


Hanson can say he is bigger than many real Olympia contestants and that is something to be proud of. Perhaps he's found the real HMB that feels like Deca :).

This isn’t about odds. Claiming to be natural is clearly bash-worthy here on Getbig. That still isn’t evidence.

Look, we obviously can't "prove" shit here but we can still "know" all pro bodybuilders use steroids, for example. Your kind of standard of evidence isn't needed and is actually harmful in understanding bodybuilding. We couldn't state anything or take any kind of stand on bodybuilding if we needed some kind of forensic evidence of doping before we said anything about bodybuilding and drugs. I mean some scientific publications still question whether steroids improve performance in the first place. But we "know", maybe you don't but most do... I know you still argue that one could build a pro level physique without drugs with the "right" training method.

You have stated that your physique isn’t great. So guys like you believe you need steroids, etc. That is nothing more than anecdotal experience and not proof of what is possible with others doing different things.

What’s with those with a Hard On for a Natural / Clean Physique - Really  ::)

Clearly the man has admitted he took steroids
& So has Vince B admitted taking them
So Fcuking What.

Only each individual knows what they’ve taken & for how long or frequently
Well that’s if they can remember.

Again so Fcuking What - either you do or you don’t take PEDs
And some do take yet deny or down play what they’ve used.

Yet again who cares - So Fcuking What.

Naturals / Clean Get over yourselves.

Did Arnold earn less $ did it prevent him being a film star or California governor
Or acknowledged as likely the best male physique ever.
No - No it didn’t make a scrap of difference.

that's Lee at the drug tested Mr. O. I'm sure he was on as little gear as possible to pass the test but we all know he wasn't natural.

Johns admitted his use. He's known as Natural O because those are the contests he's won. Fuck of all the jack asses and sheisters in this sport why start in on John?

You are far from stupid.  I'll leave it at that my fellow oldster.  ;D

Everyone does his own thing on the internet. I never accepted all the handles most early users  adopted on the net.

I mean, what is the point of posting year after year but remaining anonymous? That is just weird.

Maybe most guys haven't done or achieved much. Many of these guys post crap about others so HAVE to remain anonymous for their own safety!

I maintain that for the greater part, people choose to remain anonymous because it makes good sense and given the societal zeitgeist of what passes for social interaction on the web these days, it is a very valid one indeed. Whether or not someone has done or achieved much is not the point but it does validate my supposition about some craving attention.   If someone has successfully worked at their job, married and raised their children with their husband or wife, how is that less successful than someone that has won a plastic trophy and eschewed marriage and a family for a career in bodybuilding?   For that matter, how is that (winning a trophy or two) less successful than someone that trains for personal satisfaction (including ego)?  It is not. 

As John used to say, it's not a case of life is what it is, but rather it is what we work to make of it.  Not everyone is the winner.  Not everyone is the best and I will be the first to say that participation trophies are stupid.  But life isn't a competition and yet the rewards are there for all to reap.  Some more than others but that is the way of things.   ;D

Here is an example of a guy who literally has to remain anonymous. He claims he is being paid to harass me on Getbig.

I honestly have no idea who this tool is.  His purpose is to try to make people doubt the veracity of statements I post here.

He picked the wrong guy. I stand by what I post. If Arnold doesn't like it he has the resources to do something about it.

It is not defamation if what I post is the truth.

that's Lee at the drug tested Mr. O. I'm sure he was on as little gear as possible to pass the test but we all know he wasn't natural.

Johns admitted his use. He's known as Natural O because those are the contests he's won. Fuck of all the jack asses and sheisters in this sport why start in on John? You'll run him ofc the site like every other worth while contributor. He's one of the few people who still post positive bodybuilding related threads.

No one is going to run him off the board. John has gone through this over and over again. He knows that no matter what he says he'll be damn so he just, wisely, steers clear of the whole discussion. It'll play out the same way as it always does. People will believe what they want to believe. And life goes on and John will continue to post his terrific interviews.

John I wonder if you would consider interviewing Benny Podda? Not a big name but he was quite a character. He might be in an insane asylum by now but give it the ole college try.

Most Natural contests allow prior usage within certain time frames.

For example they might stipulate you can't have used steroids within less than a year of the contest, or two years, etc.

There has never been any kind of effective
testing in bodybuilding anywhere, anytime. The natural
orgs simply don't have the funds, some use a fucking lie detetector, and when
testing has been implemented, in the IFBB for example, corruption has always been rife and people with money and/or connections have been able to beat their positive tests or are not "randomly" picked out for testing. Anyone involved in the sport knows this. There are some public cases (like the one Milos was involved in) and a ton of less known cases, but since bb is a subjective sport no individual bb dares bring corruption up when they see it.

Natural bodybuilding is for the less successful druggies, it's as simple as that. And if some poor autistic fool with "ideals" does do a show clean there he is looking like an idiot in last place. There are a few like this, who simply don't understand that there is no testing, and even less honor, that it's all bullshit.

Those with experience can look at a body and know, though some fools like Basile need proof as if it was an advanced mathematics or physics question.

Who do you think you are to say shit like this? I agree that bodybuilding has always been questionable re the judging. The competitors are always sheep and accept whatever bullshit is associated with contests. Doesn't matter if the contests are open or 'tested'.

Jay Cutler tested positive in an Olympia and got off because they didn't use an 'accredited' lab. After that debacle the IFBB saved money and didn't test.

Who do you think you are to say shit like this? I agree that bodybuilding has always been questionable re the judging. The competitors are always sheep and accept whatever bullshit is associated with contests. Doesn't matter if the contests are open or 'tested'.

Jay Cutler tested positive in an Olympia and got off because they didn't use an 'accredited' lab. After that debacle the IFBB saved money and didn't test.

I feel bad for calling you a fool, because you are very intelligent, you probably have a high IQ, much higher than me for sure. But at the same time you are lost on some  level and can't see some things that are obvious to even the much less "intelligent".

I thought of Jay's positive test as well when I wrote that post. I mean wtf, the lab wasn't accredited Lol, that's ridiculous from several angles. Anyway, testing is not effective, even much less so in these small natural organizations. So that leaves personal honor and honesty to police the natural bodybuilders. Now, is it realistic to think the competitors are mostly honorable men that wouldn't cheat out of principle? No, if it was then testing, effective or not, wouldn't be needed in the first place.

This . . . however, I suspect John is on TRT.

J

That is actually a question that would be interesting to pose to him, is he on HRT? I don't know what he looks like today but in these old pics he looks like he has absolutely massive natural testosterone production - I mean if he was clean. So it's unlikely he would ever need replacement, unless he injured his balls somehow  :D

As I recall, he wasn't even opposed to using drugs per se, his problem was the level of drug use he was seeing. IOW, he wasn't seeing enough results from the drugs so promoting himself as a natural still put him in some type of elite category. Otherwise he would just be another gym rat.

Fair enough, that's a valid point.

I would come with a Hammer like chest press that allows you to start a press with your arms straight. I would also implement an mechanism to increase the load during the eccentric phase.
However... manufacturing, marketing & selling that machine would be a pain in the ass.

It's an overly complicated vanity project.

Here's its story -

(http://www.drdarden.com/forum_images/65113-index.jpg).

"Here is the first image online of the biceps-supinator. This was invented by myself and built totally by myself in my engineering factory. I tried to sell the design to Nautilus and Cybex but they were not interested. So this machine has cost me over $100,000 to patent and build. Surely it is the most expensive machine ever installed in a gym.

This machine was conceived in 1986, and first conception on paper was in 1991. I obtained patents from the USA, Canada, Great Britain, Germany and Australia. You have to apply to each country. Then you have to pay thousands of dollars per year to maintain those patents.

I wouldn't patent anything in the future! I built the first version in 2001 and then modified it several times since. The last major surgery occurred last year. I am quite pleased with this machine. There are many adjustments and it really is a complex machine with lots of angles needed. It works, though! Lots of stainless steel on the prototype. I will paint it silver soon.

Even Arthur Jones was unable to build this machine. It is undoubtedly the most complicated bodybuilding machine with weight stacks that has ever been installed in a gym. When used properly it can result in an absolutely brutal biceps workouts. You can twist the arms and get a resistance. Each arm can be trained separately, too. The curl plates are 20 pounds and the supination plates are 5 1/2 pounds."


"Interesting to find my machine and a photo of it on the HIT site.

I found another invention of a machine that claims to do a similar thing.

I approached Nautilus and Cybex but neither were interested in the invention. It turned out to be a waste of money to patent. That isn't what you think when you go to a patent attorney. He said it would be about 10,000. That is a joke. Costs way more than that after everything goes through. Don't even think of patenting anything. Let someone else do it."

So much for the consensus theory of truth on Getbig. Nothing important is believed by the multitudes and they are collectively incapable of coming up with even one original idea let alone a new machine.

This is the first pin-loaded biceps machine that incorporates two degrees of freedom. Arthur Jones and Nautilus never built such a machine although Arthur wrote about having supination incorporated into a biceps machine. Is it any wonder that most here have no clue about the value and effectiveness of such a machine? These people reveal more about their limited thinking than anything about my machine.

Sadly, this device looks like the answer to a question only one person (Vince B.) asked.   All that to do what is the equivalent of a dumbbell curl?  There's no doubt that Vince B. is far from stupid, but the reason exercise is not rocket science is because it doesn't need to be.  I think Gene Fisher made some good exercise equipment many years ago but none were as needlessly complicated as this device was/is.

preacher bench is probably the best for biceps anyway , was good enough for larry scott and steve reeves . . .

steve reeves said all he did were preacher curls for his biceps and this worked them the best , larry scott mainly used them too , as you say no exercise was going to change the shape of their biceps . . .

If Arnold just did BB curls his biceps would still have been excellent. Reeves liked incline Db curls. Does that mean everyone will get Biceps like reeves/Arnold?, of course not. To say his supination machine will give everyone superb biceps is just plain dumb & that we are all fools who know nothing. I know guys with only 6 months training behind them who would laugh at this. Vince is the whipping boy here.

Why would you give a fuck whether you know someone's actual name or not? Does it have impact on if you agree with that person, or on if you like that person? Most prob not.

Vince, you're just an easily offended idiot with a grotesque ego, who can't stand it if someone thinks differently.
Fact of the matter is that most people (at least over here, but prob also in real life) don't like you and don't agree with most of your thoughts. That might be a bitter pill to swallow, but it's the truth. Take some time to digest this, before you melt down again for the millionth time. Melting down is something with people who have no control over their emotions, which is your main problem.

Paul Graham gave me a frame from an Expo in Brisbane in 1986. No electric resistance. I converted it to pin loading. Guys used it in our gym for over a decade. When I started using it I found the pivot point was out by 2 inches. I made the modification and now it is an excellent biceps machine. Most bodybuilders don’t know how to improve machines. I had assumed that Life Fitness knew what they were doing re pivot points but I was mistaken. Recent machines are much improved.

Those pivot points are part of the design and are placed there  by engineers who use information taken from massive data samples which give numbers ( height, torso length, arm length ) for the average user. By moving them you may  have made it more comfortable for you, however companies ( perhaps shortsightedly ) don't design specifically for old Sheila's who think they know more than they actually do. What an ass.

Maybe Goodrum would buy it from Basile.

That's one of the machine's biggest problems. Even if it provides a good bicep workout, it has zero aesthetic appeal and just looks like a pile of scrap metal. What decent gym would want that contraption?

There are plenty of brands who look 'aesthetically appealing', but are far from stable, functional & flexible. Now what's most important when you care about getting results?

What you reveal is that you have never designed anything new. This is my one and only prototype. Lots of stainless steel involved. I have modified the machine several times since 2001. At least 3 major changes. Today it is simpler and much more user friendly. Still the best biceps machine ever made or conceived.

Spoken like a complete ignoramus. I am about average in height for males. So if a machine fits me it will fit most people. Look at the hand grips. They adjust to suit most people re length of arms. People were using the machine for over a decade and didn't detect the problem. When I altered the pivot point it went from being a good biceps machine to an excellent one.

Anyone can own a gym so that fact doesn't impress me. Please list any original gym equipment that you came up with.

I built an original piece of equipment so how on earth does it become redundant? No one else has this piece of equipment.

What you reveal is that you have never designed anything new. This is my one and only prototype. Lots of stainless steel involved. I have modified the machine several times since 2001. At least 3 major changes. Today it is simpler and much more user friendly. Still the best biceps machine ever made or conceived.


Name gym & location where is that 'machine'  ;D

What a pathetic comment. Who else on Getbig has invented some new apparatus? I have plenty more to come if I choose.


Stop bullshitting yourself , gym is long gone !.

Get back to us when you make something useful that is successful.  I don't think you're an idiot.  But I've been wrong before... ;) ;D

I'd be interested to hear more about some of the concepts you've got up your sleeve if you feel like sharing?  (No BS on my behalf)

You just got Basile'd. That's where he pontificates that he has some great machine, theory, etc.... that will change the industry, but it never comes to fruition. He'll share bits and pieces vagary or he'll just throw out the old "Flotsam and Jetsam" line. He's been trolling that way for decades.

Are you implying that Binge Basile is the inventor of the broken record player?

So the basic conclusion of this thread:

1) Vince’s bicep supination machine is scrap metal.

2) Vince is jealous of Arnold.

3) Vince thinks he’s more important in the bodybuilding industry than he actually is.

4) Vince’s ideas are non scientific in nature.

5) Vince rigged the 1970 Mr. Canada by picking his own judges.

Anyone can own a gym so that fact doesn't impress me. Please list any original gym equipment that you came up with.

I built an original piece of equipment so how on earth does it become redundant? No one else has this piece of equipment.

You can't judge what you have never used. Simple as that.

What a waste of time debating gym equipment with knuckleheads.


Exactly right anyone can own a gym - youre always bringing it up that you were a gym owner aren’t you.. ::)

Why would I or any other gym owners want to trumpet on about the equipment they’ve
Adapted or made. Hmmm only You Do. ::)

It’s not wanted by any equipment manufacturers - other than you no ones interested in it
I’d say that makes it fairly Redundant.!!

Correct I can’t judge it as I’ve not used it -
Likewise you can’t back up your claims of how good the machine is or what benefits if any it has.
It just Hot Air Claims From You... ::)

Not only are you a Baffoon
I’m beginning to wonder if your not mildly retarded
As your only mode of reply is to try to insult or try to dismiss.
