This guy built a great physique without the need for needles and still has it to this day. Why? because he took the natural route and not the roid-cut!!!

Believe and you can achieve.

[ Q ] Let me just say that you have a great physique! How did you build such a great body without the use of steroids?

I began bodybuilding in the late 1970's and everyone back then used the basic exercises with barbells and dumbbells and lots of weight to build their physiques. The gyms were more hard core than they are now and you really had to bust your butt during your workouts to get massive.

I read an article in a 1978 Muscle Builder Magazine in which Arnold advised young bodybuilders who want to get big to do it with hard and heavy workouts and lots of good food. He said that if you developed your physique with these methods instead of using drugs, you would build your physique from scratch and you wouldn't need drugs to build your body.

I took those words to heart and pushed myself extremely hard with the basic exercises (squats, deadlifts, barbell rows, T-bar rows, standing military presses, power cleans, etc) along with eating top quality food (and A LOT of it!). I weighed 135 pounds when I began training at 14 years old and by the time I was 21, I was 230 pounds, all drug free!

The key to getting really massive without drugs is to use the basic exercises with heavy weights. Keep the sets moderate because it doesn't make any sense to do 30-40 sets a bodypart when you are training so heavy and intense. Eat plenty of protein and carbs with at least six meals a day.

[ Q ]What are your feelings about people who choose to use steroids?

To each his own, I say. We all have the freedom to put whatever we want into our bodies as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else. Having said that, it's important to consider that steroids are now considered a felony to use or sell. I personally don't believe that steroids are worth the risk. Many of the people using steroids could make great gains if they trained harder and ate better.

Too many people use them as a shortcut to getting bigger and are not willing to put in the time and hard work that it takes to get big. They would rather use drugs to gain 20 pounds in 8 weeks instead of training and eating good for a year to add 10 pounds. The difference is that the guy who gains 20 pounds in 8 weeks is going to lose that weight after he gets off his cycle and the guy who does it naturally is going to keep it because he earned his muscle. You don't earn any muscle by taking steroids.

Has he been the only Natural Mr.Olympia winner ? Is that contest still around?
Or even existed?

Funny how he's the only one that talks about "the natural Mr.O" and how much he followed Arnold footsteps to make it in to this sport.

WOOOSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

lmao, when i read that thread on rxmuscle all i could think of was "liar filt". and all i could do was laugh on the inside about all those idiots saying "you look great for being natural bro!"

he has strange upper body proportions these days, waist looks like 40 inches, no joke

i appreciate his desire to stay in shape at an old age though, but thats the only positive i can say about the guy

yes he is one of the "inner circle in Iron Age Forum".. they all lick his ass. I mean the guy wants to be forever young and gets upset when people mention anything to do with his age. When i posted on Iron Age Forum he openly admitted he would do anything to slow down the ageing process.

Sounds like the kind of secure, easy going, laid back fella that would be fully up-front about his hormone use.

I think his point was that someone saying that they're willing to do ANYTHING in order to slow the aging process is likely to take PEDs, meanwhile he claims he's natural.

I dunno enough about steroids to comment on that. But I do know he has openly admitted to using.

And the Natural Mr. Olympia has a 1 year (maybe 2 or 3, can't emember) drug free requirement, so he didn't break any rules....

It sounds kind of stupid, you can juice for 20 years, then take a year off and be crowned Natural Mr. Olympia, but thats on the organization.

He's about as natural as being 45 minutes into doggy style sex with a big assed brazilan model and then pulling out last minute and saying 'sorry I don't want to squirt my load all over your back' I feel this is degrading to women, just give me a few minutes while I take a cold shower, and instead my blowing my load i'm going to compensate for it by giving you a footrub and then doing the weekly groceries for you so you can relax and do your nails
