That was a valid point. No, I dont like she-beasts. They're fine to TRAIN with but thats just plain weird if you ask me. Oh, quit it with the 'steroids are illegal' crap. When you were UNDER 21 I can bet my life you didnt tell your peers at the local highschool kegger 'Hey, wait...I can feel good at this party and have a good time without alcohol...besides gang, we are under 21 and it is ILLEGAL...lets have a good time naturally" Anabolic Steroids are only illegal because of misguided legislation and uninformed ignorant fat cats want to protect 'our children' in a country where alcohol/tobacco are legal. Amazing.
Your right, when I was in high school I made poor decisions, now that I am an adult I try and make smarter decisions. I no longer drive when I have been drinking (which I rarely do), I do not use any illegal drugs of any sort, and I try to obey the laws. The things I do now will affect me as I get older and I like making the right choice, of course that doesn't always happen but I try and ask myself if my mother (or future children) would approve.
Let's stay on topic here...I respect your stance but you almost rubbed me as one of those 'holier than art thou' naturals. Just dont turn into one of those...natural competitors are the BIGGEST pricks I have ever met in the industry. They have this pompous 'I'm natural hear me roar I'm so much better I dont cheat' attitude. Hahaha...I went to this natural show in Illinois a couple years ago...and I struck up a conversation with this guy in the lobby...no big deal just chatting about where we're from, where we train...so I ask him his name and he goes...' So/So...ALL NATURAL!'...hahaha...he put that title in his name. I can't stand natty's who preach about cheating.
You started this by saying I was taking steroids if I take birth control. Never once before you started this discussion with me did I say I was better then any other bber, I just make different choices then some. Obviously in bbing the majority of people use steroids and it is not "cheating," they still compete and hold their titles. But you asked why every athlete doesn't use them, and I answered that in the majority of sports it is considered illegal. Even if steroids were legal I still would not want to take them, period. Also, you are starting to sound like one of those guys who puts down "natural" competitors for the pure fact that they choose to be natural. My friend, this is the Natural Board...you can bust on naturals acting holier than thou other places...but please not here. I am not throwing it in your face just answering your remarks. I could care less what choices you or other competitors make... I am worried about the choices I make and how to make myself better.
I just believe in 'never say never'. I remember once upon a time...in China, when I had that 'nope! not me! never! I dont need to cheat! they're bad for you!' stance. hahaha...
and I believe in standing by your convictions
now I scratch my head on why every athlete ALIVE dont use gear. Maybe I'm in too deep. Maybe the Dark Side of the Force has too much ahold of me. Bring me back, Jenny!!!
I guess I am amazed that you think so highly of steroids, like they are God's answer to our problems. Not that I have done extensive research but they seem to be kind of bad for you, your liver, your bodies natural balance and in females they start to change the essence of the woman. I have never looked down on anyone who has taken that path but I can see the changes in these amazing woman's faces and voices and in my opinion it is not worth it. But, for them it is and that is ok with me. The way you approach it is that I can't say anything negative about steroids or I am a "preaching natty" but you can bash naturals all day and question their beliefs (seems a little like those who push their religion to me)...you are contradicting yourself.
