Just the kind of clean.... that he was talking about trying to find the most rigorously tested natural show and doing it.

Sorry bro, but that means NOTHING. IGF, boat loads of insulin some testosterone, Gh among other things will keep an ex steroid user a VERY large man.

Can one usually keep gains made from shooting insulin if they discontinue shooting insulin?

already discussed that there would be a bunch of Getbig non believers.

So the solution is

Full blood work done with date before and after show and shown to everyone in a PDF format showing normal (or subnormal testosterone, and IGF levels)....with a show that does both blood testing and a lie detector test.

Slin? Have you ever been able to keep someones fully loaded size on precontest with slin alone? Ive never seen it done ever, maybe you have.

Regardless that he is a man of his word/principle. Its kind of a cant win thing anyway....my advice to him is "Why bother? Someone will come up with some kind of conspiracy theory"

I'm a "why not"? kind of guy myself. It shouldn't be about other people, it should be about what he wants to do, put it out there and let others see it, if they believe, cool ,if not, who cares? He knows the truth and he has to live with it.

Well I think that it is a no win situation IF he is doing it just for the sole reason to try and prove something to anyone but himself.

To answer your other questions.

IGF is a very short life in the blood so a blood test would prove nothing.

I never claimed that slin alone would be able keep someone contest huge although you can stay very full.

As far as test levels go you do not need to use test to get big.

Lie detector tests are beat all the time. I personally know a guy who competed this year in a drug tested show that took a polygraph and he passed.

I tend to agree with DC as I posted in another thread. My brother always tells me when he's on and when he's off. He's about 275 on and about 260 off at 6'1 at similar BF levels.

If very few of the actual pros use the  supplements they endorse, why in hell does anyone buy them?
How does Muscletech get lifters to buy HALO? ::)
Why doesn't everyone just lift and eat ( take a couple basic supplements) or do the real juice like the pros?

It's funny that the bigger guys get thru the use of drugs, the bigger people tend to believe you can be as as natural. Back in the 80's the biggest pros never even reached 260 in the offseason let alone on stage. Now we have average gym rats claiming that they are "off" and weighing 260 plus.  ::)

You are comparing lifetime naturals with people who sauce themselves up to supra levels of muscle mass.

Are you saying it is your opinion that if there were 2 six foot twins and one was lifetime natural and achieved 225 in reasonably good shape and one jacked himself up full tilt and went to 305lbs....that the second one when he got off (with proper and probably lengthy PCT) is going to fall back to the 225lbs as his lifetime natural brother is? He is going to lose 80lbs? I absolutely 100% disagree with that. i dont care how you get there (cheating, saucing, GH'ing, abuse etc)....once you go past those natural set points with "help", you are past them regardless.....and you will never fall back to square one (unless you are royally screwed up endo. test wise). You saw Dave P get out of jail after 6 months (246lbs or so)....do you think he would look like that if he was lifetime natural? And he was in there under harsh conditions bodybuilding wise (tuna, no lifting facilities etc)...he didnt exactly go back to long distance runner Dave P.

I am not confusing anything. To think that the bigger one gets with drugs the bigger they will stay naturally is absurd!!!!

Someone put up the Dave P photo of him getting out of prison after 6 months with eating tuna and only able to do pushups/dips and compare it to the picture of him before he started lifting (running photo).
According to Disgusted he should look pretty similiar because he would go right down to his natural status starting point.

Let me know how similiar he looks in those two photo's muscularly.

I've seen the pic so no need. Dave was only in for 4 months if I recall correctly. He did eat lots of tuna. He made friends with a few guards and probabley got some extra food too. The fact that he had no weights was not even a big deal since there are a ton of different bodyweight exercises that he could do in his cell and get a hell of a pump and that would provide enough resistance for him to keep his muscles from shrinking in the same manner as if he had quit exercising altogether.

The fact that Dave was VERY lean in the pic you mention made him look a lot bigger than he really was. Dave is NO WHERE NEAR as big as he used to be years ago. He is obviously not jacked like he used to be.

Pretty good analysis. For the most part this is the case theoretically but every single IFBB Pro I ever spoke to, spent time with and been around say the same thing. They never use supplements and usually 9 out of 10 times haven't consumed a single protein shake in years.

 The supplement industry thrives on the people interested in general health and making up deficiencies through supplementation and the SPORTS supplementation which bank of the uninformed, unintelligent, inexperienced newbie.

 Only people from age 16-22 use MuscleTech, which is a huge number of newbs getting into the sport to get laid.

 The TWINK up above who said that people who use supplements do so to "get that edge" because they don't want to resort to using something illegal is downright gullibility and falsehood.

 The only supplements that actually did anything are now banned in the U.S. (1-test products and ephedra).

 The moral of the story is that these companies know how enthusiastic young guys are into the idea of getting more pussy so they promise a better more attractive and powerful body next to their fat disgusting beer swollen friend they hire Johnny IFBB Pro to "pretend" that the product is amazing.

 Cutler using HALO or Nitrotech or Adaplon-AnatorP70creakicTech is as believable as the Tooth Fairy.

 When Cutler comes to Chicago to guest pose I know who he stays with and that person confirms he doesn't use a single supplement. He eats a hell of a lot of food that's for damn sure.

 I pray the newbs reading this learns something.

 Thanks, Musclephone!

 Thanks, Howie.

Great post, agree 100%

I drink a shake in the morning b/c I hate eating breakfast and I can at least get some "liquid" calories before lunch.  Also sometimes will drink one post workout for the hell of it, especially if I'm not going to be able to eat a solid meal for several hours.  Otherwise, I have relied on a gallon of 1-2% milk + red meat, etc per day for mass and strength gains over the years.  But don't ask me how to fit into 28" waist pants :P

I always get a kick out of the newbs who think they need to down some protein every three hours on the mark, otherwise they'll lose all their gains.  Lift like a mule and eat like a dog.  It's a simple formula that people unnecessarily complicate by getting all "scientific" by timing their meals and getting the exact ratio of protein to carbs and the like.

first of all friend NO ONE but few professionals and powerlifters is bigger than gh15,,im 2 howies but not as fat as one howie if you get what im saying

If you're gonna make such sweeping statements, you need to post a pic and put your money where your mouth is, if "you get what im saying".  No excuses.

Gh15 I dont think you should be stating matter of fact statements about people just because it suits your argument. Troponin was just out here in Cali with me a short time ago. His last show was the 2007 USA in July and off.....its now May 2008. Coming up on a year now clean as a whistle but the guy can walk around 260-270 any day of the week with veins up and down his arms and as big as a house. I know many a huge amateur that is 300 on and 265-275 off. Im sorry that Getbig as a whole only can believe that steroids either make or break a bodybuilder but its not true. Maybe for the guys who are hi rep blood pumping bodybuilders who dont put their time in lifting back breaking heavy weights in their training.....those guys disengrate. But not the heavy slag lifting guys who built that thickness through poundages lifted over the years. Do you honestly think that people like Jay Cutler and Victor Richards and other mesomorphic bodybuilders are going to go from a thick offseason 300 pounds down to a paltry 215lbs if they kept everything else the same (heavy lifting, eating etc) and only removed hormonal help?  Not a chance in hell. This board uses Tom Prince as its calling card for this very argument....a guy on kidney dialysis who HAS to reduce his bodyweight dramatically or whats the other choice? Or he dies. Hmmm I would say thats a good enough reason to give up all lifting and eating like a bodybuilder and reduce your bodyweight to 185lbs or so. But take a normal mesomorphic beast (and especially one who has been at a certain muscular size and bodyweight for a long long time with chemical help*****and therein is the key to all this) and remove only the chemical help and you will see that person lose some weight and look smoother but in no way disenegrate (unless thats the choice they themselves decide to make)

nah my friend,,
tropopin is a 29? year old fella lifter on everything and anything he could get during his time lifting,,he does very similar stacks like the local cops that do nationals and place accpordingly because his genetic respond is not good enough to be a profeesional,,nice fella though
his friend? kooklo the kid will be a profeesional,,but since you want a bit of truth into the equation ill give you the truth ,,

reason tropioin and kooklo look the same physiqe wize is because tropopin brought up kooklo to his stacks level,,you are talking here about guys that live for hormoens my friend,,trust me on that i can name here the exact products each is on to the t ,,tropopin is 100% hormonized and wouldnt be able to stand even 220lb at single digit after a year plus of being clean as in REAL CLEAN,,very few can maintain 220-230 at 6'1 at 10% clean and he is not one of them since he is as far from a freak as a powerlifter is far from a bodybuilder

in anycase the tropopin use and knowledge of hormones is vast ,,he put a lot of hours into it and did the right job for his genetic and he will forever be at the 5-15 placings in nationals but he went far for what he have because he knew his hormones and his bodybuilding both from inside the book but more importantly from the outside by experiemnting,,

his use of insulin and gh is a given and his all look is a bi product of the 2000s since it is a look that can make an average physiqe look impressive due to the use of gh and insulin with tren and diff easters of test depending on the need to a good gain of muscle mass,,he got the products test nandrolone/eq dianabol and anadrol gh insulin trenbolone  all in his past experiences on a regular basis,,

he is a little smarter than the local cop in yuor local town that does nationals though,,he did himself good at young age to survive in a sport where only few become professionals ,,ihes not one of them and kooklo is one of them but they were in a stage a year ago where both look the same because both use the same exact goodies gh insulin aas and stimulants

a natural tropopin at single digit would never see the number 200lb
a natural kooklo at single digit would never see the number 175lb
 though tropopin is thicker naturally kooklo can weight 50lb less and look better when it comes to muscle shape asymetry and response to hormones thus = pro card

thats how gh15 sees is and ofcourse it is 100% accurate so no need for feedback

Funny how Arnold always shrunk up bigtime after some of his later shows and he by his own words never stopped lifting even after he retired.

ys arnold very good example,,
