Let's keep this positive with no bashing of our "enhanced" brothers/sisters.


1. A cheaper supplement bill

2. Being able to take some time off training without loss of size/strength

14. Making gains is very satisfying knowing it was achieved through hard work and not by taking 'enhancers' where anyone would grow.

15. Having a small gut (most of the time  ;D)

16. Still being able to fit in and look 'normal' with clothes on.

17.  Knowing that by being a nattie I am extending my life rather than shortening it by taking the other route.

I don't have to worry about going to jail for buying/possessing illegal substances. I don't have to worry about losing my teaching credentials for getting arrested on a drug charge. When my students ask me if I took drugs to get the physique I have, I don't have to lie.

The most important thing is to have patience. Its going to take a long time too build a quality natural physique. You also have to really know your body. Its imperative for you to know what works for you nutritionally especially come contest time. As far as training goes I don't think there is a big difference in the training regimens of natural bodybuilders and drug users. The main difference is that we can't recover as quickly as they can.

that is soo true BH. It takes time but the results hang around for longer. One thing I had learnt through trial & error is to train strict and slow  ;)

Knowing that my gains are through strict diet and training, without any illegal drugs is good.

ok, I am not bashing, but i must say this thread is so wrong.... supplemens over the counter cost far more than good UG gear....time you guys buy all that shit your bill is way higher and gains are far less...where is the logic? oh, and most of those supplements are fresh on the market and could be dangerous..gear has been around for ever and we all know what it does...plus, why are all you natties always hanging out in our steroid forum? duh... ::)
ah yeah Im a voodo child

welcome to the nattie board bigjohn_bluesfan..  :)

Cost of supps is subjective. All depends where you are and your accessability to the gear, in Australia the accessability of gear even UG is considerably lower and as a result the prices are higher.. (I am speaking from prior experience)

What I have found in talking to natties is that by enlarge they don't take as many supps as the enhanced brother & that is for several reasons.. i.e grey areas on legality (ie prohormones)risks in competing including contaminated supplements, most supps are useless & the dislike of injesting outside of solid food.

I totally agree with you on the point of the new fad supps being potentially dangerous (no trials done) and people usually find out in hindsight the risks... To make myself clear, I personally believe that sensible use of AAS can be safe, thats if you have done your research and know your limitations versus your expectations.


The reason we like to hang around the steroid forum is the same reason you are here.. we got opinions (some like me were not always drugfree) and Arnold jr is one of the funniest fuckers on getbig.

I agree with ALL SAID and I like all the natural brothers perspective too. Natties tend to be a bit of a different breed. I think we saucers are more prone to risk taking behavior..... 8)

I think the nattie/clean trainer is more similar than different to the enhanced trainer.. Whe it comes down to it, its just that the journey to the same end result is a bit different.

Having the Dr tell me that my kidneys and liver are in tip top condition and that my chance of a heart attack in the next ten years is so low it literally cannot be calculated.

I'm not bashing anyone but it's the same feeling in college when you're a GDI (Good Damn Independent). You know that you could be in a FRAT if you wanted to, but why pay for friends when you can get them for free? ;D


Excellent health is good too.

How about something that is rare in today's society?

How about the PRIDE you feel knowing what you've accomplished is thru genuine hard work without CHEATING!  (Juicers hate the "C" word...he,he)

Also, having others in the gym ask you what you take (as if you juice).  That's the ultimate complement!

Great thread AVBG  :)

1. Watching the juicers in my gym look over at me when im curling the 72 pounders, knowing that most of them cant

2. Just knowing that every ounce of muscle on my frame is from good old food and puttin up the iron!

3. Being able to go abroad for a week and not worrying that I will lose muscle!!!
