People use anabolics for plain and simple reasons if you dont use them and you get your ass on stage at a national level you will get your assed spanked.If you people think these guys who claim to be natural and place at national level shows dont use gear your fooling yourselves.
Yes I used gear, but f**k it alteast I man enough to admit it.I have seen guys and have known guys who were on types of gear enter natural shows.These days even the guys in local shows used more gear then I did when I went into the USA's.
I am not saying drugs are right, because I wish all bodybuilders didnt use drugs, but drugs arent going away its always going to be apart of bodybuilding.People use steroids out of pressure, I know I have been there.I naturally qualified for the Mr USA.
I was totally drug free at the time 33 years old, and off season 255 lbs and competing at 216-220lbs after training for 14-15 years.I was genetically maxed out, and what was I going to do, enter the Mr USA naturally? I could have, but I would have gotten totally killed. I would have been a 5'11" heavyweight at about 216-220 lbs which is not impressive on a big boned man on the national level.
Most of the guys who enter national shows as heavyweights are 5'6-5'8" have small bones and are shredded.Plus conditioning, is another thing a natural guy looks decently hard until you put him against a shredded guy on anabolics. A person on anabolics has rounder fuller muscle bellies , there muscles are twice as dence, and they get twice as hard a a "real " natural guy.
I tip my hat off to all natural guys, because I know how hard it really is to be natural.But there is literally no replacement for steroids, and there is no way around them if you want to go big time in bodybuilding.Its a shame that "REAL " natural shows dont get alot of publicity because the athletes deserve it. The unfortunate thing is most people go to bodybuilding shows to see freaks, not guys who look good.
I was one of the biggest "all natural "bodybuilders in the INBA after 15 years of training, and I could hold a candle to most guys in open national bodybuilding.People go to topless bars to see average looking girls with average size boobs do they? No they go there to see big chested hot looking slutty women, another words freaks.Society is to blame for athletes using steroids.
Take a look at baseball, the sport was slowly starting to die until big Mark Macguire got on the sauce and started knocking the ball out of the park.If you think he didnt use anabolics your kidding yourself, I have one of his rookie cards and he was like 145 lbs as a rookie.When he was a his peak he was 250 lbs from Androstene, ?lol I dont think so.
The bottom line is yes it would be nice if steroids werent invented, but the sad truth is they are here to stay like it or not.
As long as the fans and the promoters keep wanting the athletes or bodybuilders to be bigger stronger and faster, the more steroids they will use.You cant blame the athletes, that is there lively hood, and they are paid to perform, if they dont perform, they lose there job or get repelced.In a perfect world there would be no steroids, but infornatly our world isnt perfect and niether are the athletes.
So before you point fingers at athletes who use anabolics, you may want to look at the reason why they are using them.Trust me from an athlete who did use anabolics up until a year ago, I wish I didnt have to after being natural for 15 years
