there have been studies that show people running cycles and laying on their couch actually gaining more muscle mass than nattys training.
so don't tell us that drugs are a small part of the equation
hell, some pros don't even bother training when "off"
What's the point in a pro bb training while off drugs? In essence, "the magic" is gone. I'm just tired of the "have you ever done what's needed to get onstage? have you ever dieted and trained your ass into the ground?" My answer: sure as hell have....I've had more 2AM workouts after a day of school and full-time work than I care to remember. I did every bit of it naturally, but I did I achieve a nationally ranked bb physique? Hell no!! Not a single competitive bb currently reliant on juice would ever quite unless they're intending to hang up their posing trunks. Although, if they wanna be competitive on today's bb stage drugs are a necessary evil. I could careless if they all die at 45....I enjoy seeing how freakish the chemicals, the weights, the diets, etc...can make them, but I don't wanna hear any of this "do you know what it takes bullshit". Do you know what it takes to train without it? Yeah, of course they do....it's a 100 times harder with a 1,000,000 times less the results. Hence they're now full of gear LOL!
Steriods is only a small part of the equation my motherfvckin ass. It's the core of any bb's mental sanity needed to "keep pushing" and an absolute necessity for to develop the ideal physique.
