To say that drugs has little to do with pro bodybuilding is tremendously rediculous....Yes, genetics play a huge roll...Ive heard that genetically, some people "pros" react better to steroids then your typical person in the gym....Ive also heard the pros say it takes hard work, not just drugs....Are they implying they work harder then a nattie?
I think the steroids allow a user to work hard without consequence....If a nattie worked as hard, he would be overtrained....Ofcourse all over the world there are natties working hard as hell, sets after sets, reps after reps...You see for instance people training the same bodypart two days in a row....They work very hard but see little results....
Ofcourse working hard means working hard on your diet....Steroids from what ive read makes it more applicable to eat a tremendous amount of food...Ofcourse the more food you eat in the right break down can aid the steroids in building a tremendous amount of muscle....
My point is, that everything the pros and amateur bodybuilders say is true, but at the same time, they are not acknowledging the obvious benefits the steroids give them in building muscle through hard work whether that work is in the gym, or in recovering, or in diet....
Think for just a minute of every pro in the circuit today, working as hard as they do, with steroids out of the picture...Imagine their same dedication with intensity, eating large amounts of protein and adequete rest....What would be the result? ....Really there is no way of knowing of any of these bodybuilders how they would react naturally....Flex Wheeler claims to be natural, but many know he has lied about that in the past....Also what is his definition of natural....Also he is the only case of that instance in all of pro bodybuilding that I know of....Is natural for him, meaning he does not do anything illegal? Is he getting assistance from the medical establishment? If HGH is allowed in competition, is it natural? Is boosting your body by hormones to reach natural levels, natural? What does that persons doctor consider natural?
Lots of questions to ponder that im sure Dave Palumbo would have answers too....
I do not make these points, showing disrespect to any of the pros in the business....I respect their accomplishments and im a huge fan....This is a vain sport, and maybe thats why i like it so much....Comic book sized bodybuilders just rocks....I have no knowledge of the sport in respect to guys like Chick or Palumbo, but common sense aided by observation of the sport over the last fiveteen years leads me to the conclusion that STEROIDS, has everything to do with how these guys look.....Please do not expect us to believe that the steroids play a small part and its mainly just hard work.....What i do realize is that either two aspects, the steroids or hard work, cannot yield the same results without both those components...Both compliment each other and give us today, these walking superhumans....
Tell me if im right Bob, the reason you make the statement that steroids are not so important is to relay to the young people that just popping a pill will not result in a huge physique on its own....I cannot relate to that thinking, that steroids is the only cause of the achievements you reach....For someone to think that, they are superbly ignorant.....
