Fuck me!

Sickening.

MD is ranting about it too. No, I didn't buy it, I was bored and read jackasses' column.

There is no such thing as "natural bodybuilding" -- it is an oxymoron. Morons.

It's the same as ball-less football or hoop-less basketball or shit-for-brains geniuses.

let's give it a break. All in favor say "fuck you"

thanks.

Agreed. There's no such thing as 'natural bodybuilding.' There are merely those who lie, and those who have the decency to speak the truth. (Or remain silent, at the very least!)

Natural bodybuilding is like building a tree fort. It doesn't take long to build it up, and when it's finished it's usually not too impressive.

But at least we naturals are not going limp and getting gyno. Bonus.

You are right but football is actually ball-less since it's a hand egg they're playing with.

Not really, but we are often lumped in with the junkies by the average person.

Call it what you like but a distinction should be made between people that take steroids, slin, GH and those that don't.

LOL. Obviously 100% natural bodybuilders would lift rocks, eat raw meat and berrys and live in caves.
They would also avoid indoor tanning beds like a vampire avoids the sun.

To me natty vs enhanced is the same as benching with a bench shirt or lifting raw (no supports).
Follow the norms and customs of your organization and pick your path.
End of story.

As a natty I totally agree with you. Competing as a natural is a waste and you look like complete shite. Chris Faildo is/was the exception to the rule but I'm inclined to believe he had more needle pokes in his glutes than Bob had dicks up his arse. The only way a natural looks good is to maintain a 8-12% bodyfat level and get as big as possible. Which is basically what I'm doing. I toyed with the idea of competing but didn't fancy dieting for 16 weeks only to come in small and soft anyway.

But Jay Cutler said in an interview he was natural too. You think he might have been lying? That's not nice.

I remember reading years ago, back in the 90's actually, where they asked a few pro's whether they'd train natural or not. Think it was a Musclemag. Jay said he didn't see the point.

I competed in various UNtested shows with/without drugs and even a few natural contests ( no drugs obviously).
Once you realize you love bodybuilding but won't be an IFBB pro, you do it for yourself.

The most personal satisfaction I got was from getting in regional UNtested NPC shows and doing well without drugs.
Granted I use Androgel now, but at 52 my test levels were low.
I would love to see if I could beat a few guys 20 yrs younger without anything more powerful then the Androgel.
So for me now,the motivation to stay on my diet is to compete and PLACE in an open regional UNtested NPC meet this fall.

Admire and watch the pros but do your own BB thing YOUR way.
