Let's try to come up with a percentage

[Paul Allen]

of GetBig members who have actually seen the inside of a gym.

Out of all who post pictures, or whose pictures are revealed, seems only about 5% actually are in shape.

for example, the steroid expert division is just an obese man.
the guy pumpster on the training board works out on a bowflex!!
the guy candidate has love handles and no muscles, yet gives out training and nutrition advice!!

i mean seriously.  it seems the ones in shape give out no advice on anything at all and compliment everyone, yet the "monsters" are full of tips and advices, and look just like, if not worse, your average american walking down the street.

I train 5 days a week, used to be 6, but curves is now closed on saturdays!  J/K, 5 days a week at the local golds gym.  Is curves a nationwide chain or is it just a wisconsin thing?

we've got 'em here, looking in the window of Curves will give you some excellent spank bank material if you're into thick girls.

In the case of candizzle I have to completely agree; he claims that it is physiologically possible with a caloric deficit to put on muscle mass and burn fat...natural!

In the case of steroids, imagine the following scenario; a Phd biochemist with years of expertise and specialisation in steroid compounds and their effects on human physiology yet never lifted a weight in his life.

I'll have to dig up the study, but a few years back a study was done with 3 groups.

Group 1-  Men working out + anabolics
Group 2-  Men working out naturally
Group 3-  Men on anabolics without working out

All 3 groups had the same diet, the workouts were exactly the same among groups 1 and 2, and the anabolic dosages were the exact same among groups 1 and 3. 

The amount of muscle mass gained in an 12 week or so period went group 1, then 3, then 2.   

The group taking anabolics and not lifting added more muscle than the guys working out naturally.

I haven't been to a gym in years. It's to much like work

of course, but as I mentioned before, I did some time at the University of Illinois (Champaign) and ran into Patrick Arnold, the man who "invented" Clear.

That guy is someone i would definitely listen to when it came to steroid advice.

Of course, his advice is reserved for the likes of Barry Bonds, not your typical Getbigger.

hahahhaa, Barry Bonds is an absolute BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the mans arms must be at least 15 inches and those ungodly huge legs must be every bit of 21 inches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

true, he won't win a bodybuilding show, but look at what Patrick's advice did to him.  Remember, he trained track and field athletes, baseball athletes.  These people give him tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars for supplementation advice.

Which bodybuilder can afford that?  If he wanted to, i'm sure Patrick could be a guru to bodybuilders too.

Squadfather, you live in a vacuum and that comment is tantamount to saying that Carl Lewis' arms and legs weren't thick enough and lacked mass; who cares? He wasn't a bodybuilder and neither was Bonds...

this doesn't surprise me..I would love to read the study though.

either way, there is no shame in being natty..but a guy doing a cycle for a few weeks will surpass all of your years of training
