I look big to most people, and I know everything I've gained is due to hard work, not a drug.
It has no value to me if it's not earned.
You are an ignorant d-bag.
I normally just lurk around this board for a few good laughs and to catch up on bodybuilding gossip but this topic has gotten me pissed off enough to post.
The worst breed of gym rat is the holier-than-thou naturals who seem to possess some sense of purity for having bypassed steroids. I have HUGE respect for dudes who stay natural and don't waste their time bad mouthing those of us who choose to use horomones. The naturals who I f*cking hate are the individuals that chalk everything up to drug use and discount any physique superior to their own as simply a result of steroid use and nothing else.
I trained natural for the better part of 15 years - worked my ass off to try and get every last bit I could out of my own genetic potential with dedicated training and nutrition. I made very good gains but got to a point where it seemed I had maxed out my natural potential. The only logical choice to continue making gains and take my physique to the next level was choosing to move to the dark side. Trust me when I say this - I worked even HARDER and took my commitment to food to the next level in order to get every last ounce of benefit out of the first cycle I did. There was no way I was going to accept the risk as well as spend the money on the drugs without doing everything possible to maximize the gains. My approach to every cycle since that time has been identical - if you are taking steroids and not working your ass off to get the most out of the drugs you are wasting your time and taking a needless risk.
I train at a facility where I am outnumbered by several natural bodybuilders. They are f*cking haters...plain and simple. I catch them in the mirror counting my reps and "discreetly" keeping tabs on my workout. It is annoying, you wouldn't know these jokers were even "bodybuilders" unless they came out and told you so. Their sense of righteousness is sickening. I go out of my way to keep my distance - always wear headphones, minimal socializing and no tank tops or ridiculous Under Armour gear - and yet the gossip and disapproving looks are predictable and routine.
Major respect to Naturals who "Live and Let Live..." The righteous ones need to get honest about their envy and fascination pointing out everybody else whom they suspect is "on".
