there is no need to risk your health by increasing the amount of supplements. And what for, plastic trophy? Most of those guys see physique competition as a future (it is growing very fast). And it is more acceptable by general public. Just wait and see, all those supplement companies will use more and more that type of physique for advertising instead of pro BB.
These guys will have more opportunity to make big bucks (modeling, movies, etc).
yeah, lets make it overly simple and say the physique competitors are "just" on steroids.and maybe minimum dose of gh.
for them to get the extra size to fill out for bbuilding comp, theyd have to start using or add more gh, and with high gh doses comes need for thyroid supplementaion, and then some will take insulin.
all this for a couple lbs of muscle and a couple lbs of pure gut size.
in case nobody else noticed it, the pros are dropping dead like flies randomly at very young age.
this is just not promotable.
we can all sugar coat it and be in denial, we can chose to ignore that gh can make cancer cells grow etc.
to each their own.
they also look like an absolute mess year round, i dont see this with the physique competitors, theyre all few weeks of diet from contest ready,year in year out.
the reason why the class came to being is bc even the ifbb cant ignore reality anymore.
