What's Happening in Europe?

[stuntmovie]

Just recently I've noticed a phenominal improvement among the top European bodybuilders. One kid in particular whose age has been reported as low as 18 and as high as 22 (looks much younger to me) has one of the greatest potentials for a young bodybuilder that I have ever seen. And he is only one of many upcoming greats from that region of the world. (Photo below)

What's been happening over there?

Good thing Squadfather doesn't live in Europe,he'd have these kids on the porkrind and malt liquer diet in no time.

The population of the US is 301 million, and we produce a dozen pros a year.

The population of Europe is 728 million.   There should be twice as many pro level physiques.

btw, Aleksei Lesukov will be 20 in May.

Thanks, Tim! logical answer, but do you see what can be called better top level physiques coming out of Europe rather than the US? To be honest, I was at the last Olympia and was totally un-impressed by mot of the guys on that stage ....exception was WOLF and a couple of others.

But Europe appears to be producing top bodybuilders without that "bloated" look that is so common among the US pros.

And thanks for the age correction on Aleksei. I personally rate him as one of the greatest 20 year old competitors I've ever seen with a better build than many of the IFBB pros. Do you agree or disagree with that statement? Have you ever seen a 20 year old bodybuilder with a better build?

Something more than population figures is going on over there.

Thanks, Tim. Anyone else care to jump in here, feel free to do so.

gear isnt nearly as regulated in europe as it is in the states.  there is your answer

[m8]

One word: Russia.

so therefore you'd expect them to be more bloated.  but they're not, so I think it's the type of drugs.   less use of GH and insulin perhaps?

Piotrkowicz - Poland
Slodkiewicz - Poland
Brzoska - Poland
Pocius - Lithuania
Havlik - Slovakia
Machado - Spain
Kocis - Slovakia
Scheu - Germany
Konstedt - Switzerland

To some extent, i would say yes.

Also remember these guys were pretty young when they started roids.

Also, a common beginner's cycle of roids here in germany is 16-20 weeks testosterone enantate 250mg e5d.
Most guys don't even bother getting off but just stack other components with this. Deca or D-Bol when they want mass, tren when they want to cut. 

First cycle.

[affy]

who has that picture of him standing next to this chick who was towering him

the kid looks amazing...but he's 5'4''...maybe shorter

[JasonH]

Better gear than in the USA. And easier to obtain.

and dirt cheap.

I agree with you , you're going to see many more Europeans Pros doing a lot of damage in the ranks , lots of untapped potential in Europe

That's because in the US every punk gets his pro card sticked in his ass at the Nationals and USAs. In Europe its much harder to get a pro card. Ten out of the 12 shitty pros the US produces a year who wouldn't even stand the slightest chance at the Amateur world championships, where the Europeans have to make it to the finals to get a pro card.

perhaps.  ive never used either, but i dont believe gh to cause this 'bloat' in the stomachs that is so common today.  my theory behind that is the slin and visceral fat.  no scientific proof behind that, its just my theory

STFU, piky girl.
