Modern bodybuilding is ALL DRUGS.
Now don't get me wrong... yes, you need superior genetics, and yes you need to lift weights, no one is disputing that. BUT, don't kid yourselves: the difference between a Steve Reeves and a Jay Cutler (both of whom had superior genetics and both of whom lifted weights) is 100% drugs.
Hope this helps.
that would work if steve reeves hadn't taken testosterone through the 1940s.
quick histrory lesson for the naive
1920s - athletes were already using a crude form of testosterone from monkey testicles.
1930s - steroids were invented and immediately used by athletes and soldiers along with underweight males and as a health tonic for sexual prowess among other things. in fact, hitler ordered them to be administered to himself and his troops.
1940s - you can bet your ass that elite athletes and bbers were using them. they weren't even considered a risk back then. they were a health tonic that WORKED.
1950s - oral dianabol was created and kaboom, every man and his dog was popping dbols...
from there it's pretty obvious what happened.
reeves is somehow painted as the patron saint of bbing (now there's an oxymoron) but in reality, he was a self obsessed thespian and champion bber. why the hell wouldn't he take a health tonic that will keep him at the top of his game and physical peak? simple common dog fuck really.
people like to say, 'where's your proof that reeves used testosterone?' my simple answer is, 'where's your proof that cutler or coleman do?
