CHICK SAYS: "People rely on gear too much!"

[David M]

Props to Bobby for droppin some truth.  Just listened to his rant on PBW.  I took the liberty of quoting this.

"To be quite frank, People do rely on gear too much.  They rely on diuretics too much.  They rely on a lot of different things and thats NOT the way it was designed to be".

Thats a rather pointless thing to say as 100 percent of all the Pro Competitors rely on drugs and diuretics 100 percent of the time.


Sometimes he says the absolutely dumbest things ever.

You're comprehension is that of a 4 year old.

even now, long past his last show, you think he's been clean?

I agree 100%. If I've said once I've said it a million times, today's pro's rely on gear more so that actual training that's why 90% are lazy in the gym. If they weren't on gear they wouldn't train.

So there are natural Pro Bodybuilders actively competing in the IFBB?

Like me, I'm sure he's been on and off over the years and when he's off he retains good size. A sign that he was never a heavy user. He's still big and still looks healthy. Have you ever seen Bob small? Something gh15 doesn't quite understand.

Since the age of 20 or so, what's the longest stretch of time do you think Bob had gone without using?

What?? That's not what was even remotely trying to get at.

[MB]

Setting a maximum amount of drug use is impossible.  I'd solve the problem by setting a maximum weight limit of 240 lbs.

Do you get extra points if you train harder in the gym and use 5 % less gear?

Haven't a clue.

[Dr Dutch]

Isn't there gonna be a height class at the Arnold amateur supposedly for nats?

[Skeletor]

Says a man that will be as natural as anyone on the masters stage..

I think the point hes trying to make, is rather than diet the right way and do a proper contest prep, theyre lazy, and try and use diuretics and gear to try and drop the fat.
Often times using that extra gear and last minute drugs make the competitors look wayy shittier than ones that dieted religiously and didnt have to used drastic drug regimes to get into shape.

yes.

TRUTH !!

[Shockwave]

yes.

Extra points by the way of a better looking physique.
You can instantly tell if someone did a shitty job on their diet and had to use a boatload of drugs to try and catch up and dry out.

[Stark]

Chick is dropping some serious knowledge lately

It's getting worse all the time.  That's why Chad keeps saying that no one has been impressive this year.  Other than Evan and Flex, no one has looked like they put in the effort to really be prepared.   

[wes]

Chick is spot on once again.


Half-assed pussified training, and cheating on "so called diets" are now the norm.

[g101]

bodybuilding = 90% hormona , 5% training, 5% nutrition

in other words

no gear = no bodybuilder.

[Coach is Back!]

Wrong. No training = no bodybuilder 90% drugs = lazy drug addict

While that's true...it runs much deeper than that.  In the old days, there wasn't much incentive money wise...so almost everyone did it for the love of the game and a title...over the years, the opportunities to actually make a living from the sport has become a reality, and for many, this has provided the blueprint to try and asend  the top as soon as possible...often by using faster methods.

in the " old days" there was a unwritten rule about advancing to bigger shows where by you needed to progress up the ladder by actually WINNING. Local, state, regional, jr. Nat, national....I remember Paul DeMayo going back to the Jr. nationals 3-4 times because he felt if he couldn't win the overall, then he wasn't prepared to be at the National Level...very smart and very realistic at the same time.

Trey Brewer comes to mind as a kid who had a great start, and some good promise....but a contract too soon and a program made for a 10 year veteran, not a rank amateur...insured that he would never reach that potential and faded out into obscurity in record time....sad.  I'll never forget seeing Trey sitting at a table at a National show with a stack of 8X10's to autograph...when the only title he had was the NPC Excalibur...a LOCAL show...here he was signing autographs like a superstar, when in reality, he couldn't have placed in the top 10 at the show he was sitting at!

This isn't meant to disrespect Tre in any way, he was and is a good kid...but he was managed completly wrong and thrown to the wolves with delusions of grandeur...

times have changed...some for the better, some...not so much.  Some of the competitors need to realize that jus because you qualified to compete nationally, doesn't mean you SHOULD compete nationally...
