His forearms do not match his bi’s/tri’s in the contest photo

I just meant that there was some disproportion present. Delts look under-developed compared to bi/tri’s too
-
As Royalty says you immediately notice the small delts so he is probably a low doser. Arms have elite genetics.
-
Reminds me of Matt C when he was microdosing Anadrol. Black beater and all
-
Wow, he's genuinely off in the off-season. That's rare as fuck in this social media era. Respect.
Not "natty" though, but what the fuck does that even mean these days? Everybody's on something. Maybe he's on TRT + SARMS + peptides.
Edited to add: I've heard of at least one US doc who will prescribe 400mg/week testosterone as "TRT". This makes for very large and muscular "natties" who cruise on 400mg/week for life.

his delts are popping in the contest ready photo, not so much off season
Doesnt have SEO delts if thats what you mean

Joe Weider could’ve been an extra on Miami Vice with that outfit. 😃

What a monster
-
Pocket Padilla looked better than ol’ Peanut Butter Jar Walker.
-
Makkawy looked real good but unfortunately height matters, short people aren't taken as seriously in general.
Fuckin' Haney was pure magic! LOL. Can't put my finger on what it is exactly but he still really impresses me.
At 9 years old I wanted to go to this show 10 minutes from my house. I didn't have the $150 LOL :'(
-
What a monster
He did beat Haney who was 5'11"
WoooSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
-
His leg mass says he is not natty. Great physique nontheless.

$150 back in those days was around a years salary for someone as old as you. :o :o

Someone saying they are "natty" immediately puts them into some type of grifter category for me because the term has no agreed-upon meaning. What the hell does it mean? :D
I remember in the 90s when I started lifting some older fellas in the gym thought taking STEROIDS! was metaphysically EVIL and I always thought they were really, really stupid. They were inspecting new members for any signs of steroid use giving them side eye. When I started in my first "real" gym the owner came up to me and called me a druggie because I benched 350 LOL (had not taken steroids yet). Even now in some gyms some boomers call the cops if they suspect someone is on the evil steroids. True story :D

no drugs
Pretty obvious to me.
-
Bhanky is an example of a true natty.
Compare anyone claiming natty to Bhanky.

For me it's not that obvious. For example some would say an Olympic athlete who plays by the rules as they are written is "natural." But all elite athletes are on all sorts of drugs to allow them to perform, for example anti-inflammatories, hard to find a single one who doesn't ever take NSAIDs. Take a top soccer player, how often do they see sports docs and how many prescriptions do you think they have?
Say one bodybuilder takes clomiphene to raise test. Another takes "natural" supplements from "GNC" that raise test (some do work to a degree). A herb that works is a drug. There is no difference between a supplement and a drug. The only difference is legality, sometimes, and banned lists. Remember, WADA wanted to ban creatine back in the day. Coffee is a PED that is a stronger stimulant than many banned stimulants. Cannabis is a banned PED and it's just a herb. You can drink coffee but you can't drink opium tea or take cannabis edibles. The "banned lists" are completely arbitrary.
Now, testosterone and the derivatives are things that if a bodybuilders hasn't used them then it could be said they haven't dipped into the really powerful PEDs. But as I've said before, the so-called natural bodybuilders, if they are steroid free, they still usually use a shit load of supplements (drugs), usually many more drugs (supps) than steroid users.
I'm long winded :D

Bas Rutten isn't on TRT or HGH but is on everything else.

by drugs I mean performance enhancing drugs (steroids)
To make sure all athletes were on an equal footing they would have to all have access to the same foods , training facilities and rest periods
They dont and they never will, someone in some shit hole 3rd world country is always going to be at a disadvantage to someone from a first world country
I know pretty much every single Gold medal winner in history was taking some kind of drug when they were available.
Look at Jonathon Edwards triple jump world record holder since the 90s
Guy outjumped everyone by a country mile but was a devout Christian and didnt compete on Sundays because of it...
Surely he wouldnt have been using drugs?
Or was he?

Most BB are very small men stature-wise. Even most of the "big guys" are like maybe 6'0" which isn't that tall for the general population.
Average male height in the Netherlands is a little over 6 feet.

The Netherlands has the tallest people in the world so nowhere comparable to the vast majority anywhere else.

Oh I agree with all of that and I've also made the argument that it's never going be fair, some have a whole state apparatus behind them with facilities, trainers, doctors and so while some don't. Even if banned drugs were excluded it's not going to ever be fair.
I agree that steroids are sort of in a special category when talking about natty or not wrt bodybuilding. But there are other things like OTC growth hormone releasers that can be quite effective.
