Most BBers are mentally ill and/or mentally challenged.

Most BBers are/were drug dealers.

BBing fans are mostly old gay men.

BBing is filled with lies and deceit.

BBing magazines are propaganda being sold just to make money off stupid people.

BBing is very unhealthy at the high level.

Supplements are mostly garbage.

There is no "secret" to getting big.

People who workout often take it more serious and have more love and heart than professionals. You want to find the hardest training person in the gym it is usually a teenager just starting out. Being big doesn't define you as a bodybuilder. Working out defines you as a bodybuilder. Effort defines you

Nasser had a great quote about not judging others at the gym said they could be more righteous in their training than him this is yet again another reason I train at home. I would have said something to the people who kicked out the fat girl for a workout bra that shit ain't right she was trying. Training is a religion bodybuilding is a side effect. You don't train to bodybuild you train because you love it. It is more mental than physical. You are a bodybuilder because you train. Bodybuilding is a state of mind your brain changes when you workout.

Training is the Noble quest

Doesnt hold true unfortunately. Lots of losers on IG have great, drugged-up physiques, but know very little. (It may have been true in the past).
They just pay coaches and drug-up, do what they are told, and know ZERO about training, nutrition, Anatomy/Physiology, etc.

Guys from the past did, they had to.
Kvnts of today, tons dont know a thing, just know how to inject and pill-pop and listen to so called "guru's"...

What caused you to develop bleeding ulcers? Do you think your seemingly over-the-top 'type A' personality had anything to do with it? Was it a bacterial infection (Helicobacter pylori) or too many NSAIDs? Bleeding ulcers is a life threatening condition.

"Even when there’s no visible bleeding, Crohn’s can lead to iron deficiency anemia if it causes multiple ulcers in the small intestine or colon. Continuous, low-grade, chronic blood loss from these ulcers can occur."

I take it that it was Crohn's that caused the ulcers. The causes of Crohn's is more complex. What do you think caused you to develop Crohn's? Was it a multiple of things?

You can’t really blame the guys. The problem is steroids are for the most part illegal. They would put themselves in legal jeopardy if they were to tell the truth.

If gear were completely legal, instead of nutritional supplement lines, these guys would have their own gear lines.

It is all about oxygen loading with diaphragmic breathing first think of it as breathing deep with your belly instead of your chest exhale every bit of air when you exhale you want to clear the lungs and load up on oxygen do this for twice as long as you plan to breath hold. It will also give you more strength and stamina for a heavy lift or set as you will have more oxygen

This is an entirely fair point.  Let me amend slightly.  All bodybuilders are liars even when they don't have to be (due to possible legal jeopardy).

Seriously, truthful is the exception not the rule.  Lying about "how much you bench" or how big your arms are must affect the brain or something.

so you can hold your breath longer than navy seal?

Navy SEALs can hold their breath underwater for two to three minutes or more. Breath-holding drills are typically used to condition a swimmer or diver and to build confidence when going through high-surf conditions at night, said Brandon Webb, a former Navy SEAL and best-selling author of the book “Among Heroes.”Dec.

I'm not even talking about the Pros or the magazines or supplement companies as much as I'm talking about the run of the mill "big guys" that populate many gyms.  They routinely pop off bullshit to anyone, especially younger lifters because they don't care.

Drugs are just the finishing touch.

I am going to disagree with you. In my experience D-Bol and testosterone shots are what made me realize I could actually change how I looked. I am not looking to bulk up again. But if I was, D-Bol would be the first thing I would try using again. Only problem is that it is illegal now and it would be very hard to find a doctor willing to write a prescription for it, for an old geezer like me. Seems kind of lame considering how few years I probably have left. It seems to me us old folks should be able to go all out with ABS and GH because we have less to lose.

Ziegler didn't do sh*t.  It's the biggest myth about D-bol.

Brilliant Ciba chemists in Europe invented D-bol.

Ziegler just gave it to York lifters.  He was the first gym pusher.

There was another chemist named Ziegler (unrelated) in Europe who worked on the creation of D-bol though which is interesting.

He was the first gym pusher.

It was mainly this to which I was referring.

Methandrostenolone was synthesized by researchers at the CIBA laboratories in Basel, Switzerland. CIBA filed for a U.S. patent in 1957, and began marketing the drug as Dianabol in 1958 in the U.S.

Dr. John Ziegler was the first person to introduce Dianabol to competitive athletes shortly after its commercial introduction by CIBA in 1958. Wettstein and his associates collaborated with the Leopold Ružička’s (sounds a little bit like Ziegler), research team that won the 1939 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their remarkable work on the synthesis of testosterone.

Our family doctor prescribed it to me for hypogonadism in 1960 or 1961 along with a weekly testosterone injection. Of course the dosage was a lot less than what most bodybuilders were using @ 5 mg a day. I don't know the amount of testosterone he injected. My guess is that it too was low by comparison.

That ultimately when you get to a high enough level you will be judged on what you haven't got as opposed to what you have. So identify weaknesses in your physique as early as possible and spend the majority of your time working on them rather than your strengths. Life and business is similar, use the same philosophy there.

That ultimately when you get to a high enough level you will be judged on what you haven't got as opposed to what you have. So identify weaknesses in your physique as early as possible and spend the majority of your time working on them rather than your strengths. Life and business is similar, use the same philosophy there.

I appreciate this answer, despite the jokes, there were far more positive lessons than otherwise.  Lessons about putting in the work, focusing efforts, believing in yourself and your ability to carve your destiny from the cold hard rock of reality, etc.
