Let it out brother. It's ok, we're all with you.

 ;D

Having seen even my heroes at the original Gold's in Venice and knowing (because they told me) that drugs really work, I knew there was more.

Guys did nothing for work and yet had condos and corvettes.  I asked and found out from a few of them that they let old men "fondle" them for cash and gifts.  Hmmmmm...Is not a top champ now called, "The Gift"?   ::) ;D

So much of bodybuilding was and still is a farce.  A façade.  But in the seventies among themselves and even toward a relative newcomer such as myself, they were honest about it when asked.  It broke my naïve little world a bit, but it wasn't nearly as bad as learning my dad was Santa Claus.

Talk about a tough "present" on your 18th birthday.  I was devastated.

 ;D

Bulking
Testosterone boosters
Squatting is a requirement
Steroids are stupid expensive
Creatine
Big traps look stupid

I could go on.

here's my list of what I used to believe

genetics
attacked by ninjas
getting extra blood for bigger muscles
naturally a big guy
switching to monkey grip and having the wrists in differend angle in cable cross helps to get better definition to the chest
225lbs deadlift for 112 reps
doing very slow reps with very light weight builds muscle

Yes, but it's "response to gear" genetics rather than "naturally build muscle" genetics.

genetics definitely help, but when it comes to putting your work in and having that tunnel vision has only got to do with you and what you do, I think

Simon, Simon, Simon..."Coming down the chimney with a load of presents" was a naught but a thinly veiled metaphor, my naïve young friend.

Nah.    ;D  Thanks for the smile.

Some people are genetically better made to lift weights, bone structure/natural BF % but at the end of the day you can only do so much, some guys are naturally gifted and look great natty then use gear and dont look that much better on them.
Others look like shit and transform themselves with drugs.

-That I could develop a natural 20" arm.

-Drugs are the "finishing touch"

-Your diet has to be 110% clean

-Supplements other than Creatine and certain vitamins

I don't understand what some people are saying about genetics, that's a real thing. Some people look like shit no matter what they do.

1) You need to eat six meals per day.
2) Nutrient combining (eg, fats and protein or carbs and protein at meals only)
3) Carbs at night are bad.
4) Bodybuilders wrote their own articles.
5) Bulking up leads to quicker muscular gains.
6) Top pro bodybuilders and all gurus are loaded (eg, Shawn Ray standing in front of mansions in magazines, Flex Wheeler leaning on luxury cars, Trevor Smith boasting about his business when he didn't have much money)
7) Supplement claims of all sorts.
8) One can gain 20 or more pounds of muscle in a single season.
9) Ernie Taylor's triceps were all muscle.
10) I thought that Ronnie Coleman actually did regular police work with his 300 pound body that had to be fed every few hours and that couldn't wear a bullet proof vest.
11) I thought the claims that every other pro was  headed to the NFL until they got a career ending injury and then during rehab, fell in love with the weights, and from then decided to set their sights on becoming an IFBB pro. I heard this goddamn story over and over.
12) Different carbs had different effects on body composition, even when kept constant (eg, brown rice is "better" than white rice).
