No one says you're "loaded" with drugs. But lifetime natural you are not. No way. Anyone that steps on stage in an NPC competition at any level has used something be it legal or illegal. Afterall this bashing and beating you're finally admitting you've used tricana and thiomucase. What if there was no record of you saying you've used it........you would probably deny those two drugs as well. You're vascularity and shreddedness rivals that of Lee Priest. And I don't know why everyone keeps talking about your weight cause it's not your weight that makes call bullshit. It's your vascularity and muscle dryness. Maybe you use OTC diuretics, glycerine or some other things who knows. But natural you are not sorry! Natural to me is only training and food (vitamins and protein powders). Maybe you use the hell out of yohimbine or ECA. Who knows. Only you do my friend.
Or, maybe the guy can go no carbs for ages, has a bunch of treadmills that deserve purple hearts, and logs plenty of hours in a sauna.
Now, you see why Bob Chicherillo made the statement he did, about being "natural". You and Chris Faildo just qualified your respective definitions of "natural". Faildo says "No diuretics, no gh, no steriods of any kind, no nothing". You claim that natural is just "training and food (vitamins and protein powders)".
But, to make Chick's point, there are folks that will claim that YOU, McMannus, ain't "natural" for using protein powder. It brings to mind two freshman football players I overheard talking during lunch, when I was in college. One was mixing a potion in his shaker to go along with his meal. The elixir in question: Weight gainer, Joe Weider's Sugar-Free BIG, to be exact.
When his friend joined him and saw what he was doing, his response was "I don't mess with that $&@%; that #*@Y make your nuts shrink". I nearly spit up my own chow laughing. This guy was afraid to take WEIGHT GAINER, for fear of testicular atrophy.
So, I will ask (once again) why is it mandatory that someone ABSOLUTELY MUST take drugs to be 165 lbs. ripped, at 5'3"-5'6" tall.
