A great day in the Mecca

The human body didn't evolve to have massive quantities of these drugs present in the system. Hence the side effects. Steroid abusers have to take a multitude of other drugs to cope with the side effects of steroids such as nolvadex, clomid, blood pressure meds, baldness meds (anti DHT), acne meds, etc, etc etc. These ancillary drugs sure aren't natural and are detrimental to ones health over time.

You are completely right. I'm only advocating therapeutic levels. But, I'm also an avid advocate of freedom of choice. People should be able to choose what and how much they put in their bodies.

Did anyone see that episode of 30 Days where that average joe began a cycle?

Didn't he have a lot of medical problems within the first couple weeks?

Okay let HIV/AIDS patients and the elderly have it.

Why not other people? It's arguably less dangerous than alcohol. What about people who naturally produce less than others... who are we to say they can't juice up.

Compare Lou's midsection from Pumping Iron to the '93 Olympia.  The guy wreaked a good physique.

looks like you got your facts straight outta your ass

You think he looks great?

I saw a fairly recent picture of him recently and he's definitely doing quite well for a guy pushing 60. What's up with the 'tube video? It says something about inappropriate content and needing to be a member to login (which I'm not and don't intend on being)

lou at hulk premier 2003

52 years old

[climber]

When If I'm was like that at 52 I'lld be bloody proud of myself.

[The_Hammer]

I can still see his gut.

Huge legs though

[climber]

I can still see his gut.

Huge legs though

and you probably think his gut is from all the gh he uses 

[The_Hammer]

All that beer and over eating made those ripped arms of his.

Yes their stomachs instantly become bloated while still having abs...

Just like this middle aged wide waist...

I agree with you on all these points.

[The_Hammer]

I agree with you on all these points.

So they can influence the next great generation of juiceheads.

At the exponential rate computing (and hence robotics) is advancing humans will be in some robot zoo soon enough anyway. So what does it matter?  But, you are right... That is a valid point.

haha yea compare a guy who stills competes and trains just about everyday to a retired Pro BB who probably barely works out. 

[Mr Gethin]

I'm not calling him a drug addict.  I'm asking why he glorifies them. Other BB magazines do it to make $$$, but this guy does it because he likes it. 

I dont look at people as being drug addicts. That would be mighty naive and negative of me. I prefer to live life to the fullest, value every breath and glorify the sport and it athletes as much as I can purely for the love of it. Many of the bodybuilders and their supporters are great guys and I wish to applaud them through bb media. I live in Venice, it would be rude not to.

Excuse me now whilst I dance amongst the daisys and feed a homeless child.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!

[dodger]

When I walked into Golds gym for my workout today it solidified to me that the bodybuilding Mecca is still alive contrary to what people say.

I stood and looked around - Gunter, Melvin, Jerome Ferguson and Cormier were all training as were a couple of guys prepping for the USA's. Charles Glass was there as was Greg Merrit from FLEX magazine. On top of that Danny Trejo - check link( http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001803/ )and James Caan were hitting the iron hard. Oh, and baseballer Jose Canseco was also there.

I will be shooting Strydom and Robby Robinson training together there tomorrow and I am guessing that Silvio Samuel and Mike Ergas will also be kicking around the weights pen

Its great to be in the Mecca.......... YEAH!

Hey Mr. Getthin,how about trying to get some footage or shots of Barbarian David Paul too,thanks.

[Kegdrainer]

how much alcohol we talkin about?  ounce for ounce i would bet anabolics are much worse for your liver and kidneys

i just think its ridiculous that some chick who wants to become a man can get all the test she wants on prescription, and other anabolics too....prescribed by a doctor.  Purely cosmetic reasons...but for similar cosmetic reasons a man cannot get test unless he has a shady doctor or low levels of test in his bloodwork.

I heard their mag was originally called "Closeted Muscle", which was just too obvious. So they went with the "Kaged Muscle".

No problem dude. David is there on a daily basis.
