Mr Nippon Suzuki Masashi

[Schmoe Buster]

Doesn't every bber claim to be natural, or are Japanese even more predisposed to claiming that?

Some are, and a fair amount of them are as delusional as it gets

There were a few times at the gym he went hypo and passed out due to insulin use, guy was all drugs, yet just like every Jap bodybuilder he claimed to be natural

Never claimed to be natural to me.
Not sure what killed him. Several rumors, but I never sought a confirmation with his family.

Think he just said he was natural to other Japs, yes ive heard a few stories too, but it doesnt matter and asking his family wouldnt be right, its nice that at Golds Otsuka they have his workout gear framed on the wall, big dude in his day.

If these oriental guys stayed natural, they'd max out at 160 lbs..

130 max.

I have the feeling as well, a lot of guys come to me to talk about gear in the gym, but i have never heard them talk about gear among each other, then it's always: Damn, Suzuki is so big, he is super strict with his diet and trains hard, a Mr Nippon would NEVER use steroids.

Mr Nippon is untouchable, another guy in the gym struggled hard to reach 100 kg offseason, very bloated and people would jokingly say to me "all the GH and steroids and he's still small"... Obviously he wasn't on GH, and by no means small, but there you go.
