I'm glad you're against steroids and so I'm I. The sport wouldn't exist if steroids weren't a part of the game. No internet boards, no magazines and the supplement business featuring drug users wouldn't exist.
I am in awe of what hard work, genetics and yes drugs can accomplish. I never forget what these world champ elite bodybuilders would look like without the drug assist. These young kids use rationalization to justify their drug use to feel like a man. In order to feel good about them self they think everyone who ever put on a pair of posing trunks were users. Prior to 1959 there wasn't any anabolic steroids. The only ones that used it back then was a very small in the know group from York, PA. There was no internet to share information. Reeves like I said many times was in bodybuilding shape since he was a teenager until his health started to fail him. During World War II in the jungle at camp he had a 100lb barbell that he use to rep out with. His nick name in the military was the "Shape".
The reason why the first anabolic steroid Dianabol was created was because the Russian Weightlifters were injecting straight testosterone. The search was on for a steroid that would maximize the anabolic properties and minimize the androgen ones. What happened to the Russian weightlifters was enlarged prostates that they couldn't urinate without a catheter.
I find it hard to give anyone credit for a physique when I know how they would really look without the drug assist. I have been around gyms for a long time. It seems the juicers are first to give out training advice like they know something. I never seen them give out advice when they are completely off for months looking like crap.
