This topic is still going on???

OK... how many guys in their late teens/early twenties take steroids?

Now, how many of them look like this?

QED. I rest my case.

you dont honestly think this idiot takes the same amount of gear as the average 20 year old juicer do you??fuck how can some people be so stupid...no no he only takes small amounts, its just that he has such good "receptors"...yea thats the one

OK I will ignore your insults and address your point. Yes of course it's highly likely he takes more than the average juicer, whatever that may be. Let's look at his quads. Presumably they look like that just because he injects in his quads? So anyone can have quads like that if they inject into their quads???

I just think that the pro's downplay the importance of hormones in bodybuilding (well, except for gh15) I still remember the classic Tom Prince post about how little gear has to do with building muscle and being a bodybuilder... WTF?! seeing him now at 160lbs. soaking wet really goes far to prove his point. I also think that most pro's are delusional, in the sense that they think everyone in the world wants to be like them... I bodybuild for fun, to stay in shape and look good, I don't need a laminated paper card saying IFBB pro to make myself feel better about myself.

I saw a pic recently of Paul Dillet off the sauce, he looks like an out of shape garbage man. The biggest bodybuilder in the world looks like a janitor with a paunch.

Sure its all "genetics"

ahhh yep, if they took what he took, ate what he ate, trained like he trained. his legs are bigger than most pro bodybuilders though so id say that he does have genetically large legs whether he worked out or not, however i see plenty of guys walking around with massive legs and calves that have never set foot in a gym so this guy does not have better genetics than the majority of people....thats such a load of shit.

look obviously some people naturally carry more muscle than others etc etc and some bodybuilders dont have to take as much as others to get as big, however they all take copius amounts of drugs...thats obvious. to beleive the absaloute bullshit that Bob chic and most other bodybuilders shit on about is ludicrus.

a bodybuilders reasoning behind why they have better genetics than the average gym rat or juicer is that, if they were just as genetically "blessed" as i am they would be a pro bodybuilder or look as big and ripped as me. they cant comprehend that there are very few people that want to be a pro bodybuilder and even fewer that are willing to do what they need to do to be one. They also refuse to aknowledge the fact that their cycle looks alot different than the average juicer. on top of this they also insist, with no real knowledge of the fact,that everyone else that uses takes just as much if not more than them

How about this: if it's so easy, why not give yourself 2 years to become a pro and then if you make it, everyone on getbig will each give you $5. You'll make a lot of money so you have nothing to lose.

Alexxx, even if you had access to every drug in the world, and could do nothing but train, sleep and eat, you'd never become a pro bodybuilder.

So you see, it's not easy to become a pro bber... it may be simple, but not easy

i like how you negelcted the rest of my sentence in my quote. i didnt say it was easy i said most could do it if they wanted, meaning you dont need a gift from god like Bob chic thinks you do. why would anyone want to though...most people are smarter than that, they invest their time and efforts into something with a secure future and that wont compromise their health and have bodybuilding on the side as a hobby. ie myself and most other get biggers.

and to the other poster...yes nothing to lose apart from your health and dignity

as if anybody is dumb enough to sacrifice their jobs, probably wife/gf, and probably health for such a stupid "dream"

I always think its funny when people say genetics. The only way genetics comes into play is how well your genetics work with roids. Proof is in any off-season or retired picture of a former pro bodybuilder. Someone mentioned Dillet. Sean Ray looked great when he was on the shit but when off he looks like shit like most others. If these guys had such good genetics then why take so many drugs and why do they look so different when off drugs. If they had such superior genetics then they should look good all the time. Truly great genetics are only evident in a TRUE 100% lifetime natural that looks great and has muscle density and shape without drugs. They can look great simply by lifting and stimulating their muscles to get them bigger. NO DRUGS

Good point.

I am sure there are alot of people who could have been great bodybuilders but never even realized it. You really don't know how good you can be until you see how well you respond to hormones. In the case of basketball, baseball, soccer, etc., you can pretty much tell from an early age if you have what it takes. Think of all the great bodybuilders that never were just because they never pursued it.

Keith, I see from your post, that you still have not dealt with your unhealthy-obsession with Sean! Get over it son!

For Christ Sake, Sean has achieved more in his 'little finger' than you have in your entire uneventful-life!

Sean is known as a genetic-freak, that has never been questioned. He has superior receptors, something that obviously causes you, great envy and bitterness!

And finally Keith, it is time to acknowledge that the alleged 'bounced checks' has to do with your own financial incompetence! Stop blaming and attacking Sean for everything that goes wrong in your life!

peace.

in Germany they changed the rules how becoming an IFBB proff. Bodybuilder 2-3 Years ago.
First you have to win the national Titel (overall) + You have to place in the finals of the IFBB world championships (Top 5).

The only one since that rule change who did it was "Dennis Wolf".

Rühl, Rockel, Scholz, Kallbach....they never competed in the ifbb world champ-ships and where getting there Pro-Cards by winning there weight-class at the "Deutsche + intern. Deutsche Meisterschaft".
The only one of them who won overall was Rockel. Markus Rühl was beating by the 80 kg class winner, at his heavyweight win (controversal...)

agreed, given the pharmacy, many if not most people could reach that level if they put in the effort.

Haha there's millions of guys hitting the drugs worldwide, only a select few can become pros. There's massive roided guys in my gym with arms the size of the pros but could they win a pro qualifyer? Er, no. It takes more than just being big and spotty. This is not meant to be an ass kiss or meltdown but you just have to look at the caliber of some of the guys who don't make it to see how hard it is. There's a difference between 'reaching that level' in some vague sense, and actually fending off a field of 20 or more other hungry guys to be crowned the best. Look at Palumbo, he juiced like a beast and has all the knowledge, but didn't have the genetics.

Charlys69 · « **Reply #144 on:** August 08, 2007, 07:22:51 AM »

Palumbo lacks "the Structure & optimal proportions". Musclemass & shape is absolutely Pro-Level.

I wasn't neglecting your quote. I just quoted the part I was building on. We really are in agreement to a large extent!

I am glad that everyone agrees and Shawn proves that it is in fact easy to do.

So why did it take Bob Chick 20 years to get his pro card if he is so genetically blessed?

no one · « **Reply #148 on:** August 08, 2007, 11:56:44 AM »

to all the pencil necks out there.

truth of the matter is...

every Pro on here could give you the same amount of gear they had run over the same amount of time they ran it...

AND YOU WOULD ALL STILL LOOK LIKE SHIT.

sorry about your luck.

blame your parents.

I would like to answer this even though I am not a pencil neck.

Anybody that trains seriously and takes the same shit as all the pros can become a pro.

Professional bodybuilders are some of the worse trainers you could every imagine.

Especially today with the norm of 45 min/ 4 times a week workouts are nothing to sweat about.
