Because there are millions of people who take steroids.....none who get onstage at 286 to 303lbs. A normal enhanced 5'10" man is up there at 225 to 235. A very special person with elite genetics and enhanced will be up there at 240 to 255lbs. Coleman is up there 50lbs of muscle mass over those people. I dont expect the most massively muscled enhanced bodybuilder of this generation to be comparable to the average good natural bodybuilder if he were also natural. I would expect him also to set the standard of being the most massive natural bodybuilder just as he did enhanced.
Van if a freind of yours that you knew well was an elite bodybuilder and "said person" had absolutely no clue at all (I mean zilch) about any kind of bodybuilding pharmacopia would that prove to you that he is clean? To the point that he decided at one point to use (to get on a level playing field) and you Van had to teach him from scratch the most bottom of the barrel basics? Because I know of a situation just like that happening (from the guy who had to teach him)
With all due respect DC (and I genuinely mean that, not like some who use that phrase as a preface for facetiousness)
you have to qualify a lot here.
Pro's are doing a little (sarcasm) more than just your average gym rats cycle of 600 deca/and dbol cycle for 12 weeks.
That said, all the roids in the world won't help the genetic inferior win a show but you can bet your ass he'll grow like a weed up to a point. Pro's do crazy amounts for crazy amounts of time and you've spelled this out in the past pretty clearly when you were talking about how top pros never come off.
It's disingenuous to compare someone doing a recreational cycle for a few months 2x per year to a pscyho professional who lives and dies so they can be huge. For Christs sake guys are losing kidneys left and right, and you can argue that it's the diuretic abuse(because it is), but it paints a clear picture of *what they're willing to do* to get a certain look at the expense of their own life. The same attitude most hold true for anabolic/gh use, it just goes to reason that the all-or-die principle is active year round, not just when it comes time to dry out. This is the mentality of a pro.
Moreover, the mentality of what it takes to be a pro today.
Pro's have gotten consistently bigger for the past 30 years. You can't say it's due to nutritional advances or advances in training. An egg still has 5 grams of protein and 200 pounds is still 200 pounds unless you're on the moon.
I think guys trained harder/smarter in the 70's or 80's anyway.
Shit, in the 70's guys were going apeshit with tons of food and doing arcane shit like drinking chickens blood
(heard that directly from a former competitor) and anything else you can fathom. BUT, a cycle of 600 mg deca/and 20 mg. dbol was considered "high tech" in 1979, as well as "pushing it". I'm not pulling that out of my ass either, this was
from a competitor who answered all of my questions straight up. (Jeff Sneed) Who, was nice enough to pull me aside and say ...."don't take GH whatever you do, kid don't do it, I regret ever touching it"
To *some* extent you can argue that the pro ranks are pulling from a *larger* (not specifically better) gene pool
than they were 30 years ago, but you can't reasonably argue that a 1984 Lee Haney had any less better genetics than what we see now genetically speaking? Has evolution logarithmically advanced in 20 years time?
So what then is the reason pros keep getting freakier and bigger for the past 20 years?
Muscletech? No. More and more and more copious amounts of everything drug related.
To ignore this is just silly. I've indulged and as I sit here I can confidently say that the only thing standing between me
and another 10 pounds LBM is more sauce/varied compounds, higher cals and another 12-16 months of training.
So many guys bullshit about the drug issue it's just ridiculous. As much as Adonis is a fucking pain in the ass, he
sometimes makes a point..even if it's on the top of his head.
As for Heath....well only he knows the truth of the matter..and he ain't talking.
