Bodybuilding in a natural context is so narrow. Eat hard, lift hard, get a little bigger, then that's it. That's all natural bodybuilding is.
BODYBUILDING, enhanced bodybuilding or whatever you want to call it is much more immerse. A guy running a cycle may "be taking the easy way" but he's going to see a much greater contrast in that timespan than a natural lifter will in their entire lifetime. This is why I choose to juice.
It's funny, because the thing that got me into supplements and PEDs was creatine. I heard my younger brother was taking "creatine steroids" so I dug out all of the medical textbooks my mom had and the ones I could get from the library. I learned about muscular hypertrophy and found stuff about creatine, the krebs cycle and even sex steroids. I realized that all juice is, is just exogenous hormones. And from talking with guys like Bill Llewellyn who looked at things a little more closely but objectively (as most juicers are trying to justify their use) I really think I started out with a good perspective. And then I eventually started lifting to test these theories and moved onto using supplements and juice once I acquired enough experience with lifting and observing changes in response to diet, training and supplementation.
I just can't fathom lifting without having taken something. I only pin usually twice per week and don't take any other supplements. But the experience from using all that shit really helped to guide the way I train now. I will probably never juice big time and will only do a couple smaller blasts each year as I like my physique right now. But I just can't imagine lifting without having those experiences under my belt. There's just so little that happens in natural bodybuilding. It's so boring and there are so few variables. I guess that's what perplexes me about people who genuinely do not use anything.
