I've got nothin against drug users.....they can do whatever they wanna....no skin off my ass. I used to train alongside a guy that was easily half my size and had a quarter of my strength. He trained his ass of naturally for about 8 months and put on some good size naturally. I moved, didn't see him for about 2 years and when I bumped into him he was almost my size and had surpassed me in a few lifts. He had won his weightclass in the Mr. Texas and was 100% about bb. His face and a majority of his body was covered in acne and he looked absolutely nothing like his former self. Found out shortly after I moved he became all about bb drugs and voila....a monster in 2 years. At that point I'd been training very hard for 8 years (never touched a drug)....he caught up in under 3 years.
Don't anyone tell me bb drugs have just a fraction to do with the physiques attained...it's utter bullshit. Had he remained natural he'd still be several years behind me in size and strength. I several stories like this.....and I've still never used a bb drug.
no question about it drugs play a big role.
subtract the drugs, and you still get the brutal trainings, diets, cardio, cooking a shitload of food...tanning and posing practice...all the other stuff required to get on stage for a show. i just dont like when people discredit someone's achievements on a BB stage saying it's ALL DRUGS...drugs don't get you up in the morning for cardio on empty stomach, they don't cook your food and they don't make your workouts any shorter or easier. nor do they get you bone-ripped and dry.
*also note, someone who does it naturally is taking the longer road, and deserves more credit for doing so, and idiots who juice to look big in the gym and in the night clubs (usually dont even train legs on top of all that) are idiots.
i'm sure many see it this way also.
