Of course these guys are all on drugs so it's unrealistic to expect most folks in their 50s to look like that.
It's unrealistic to expect to look like Coach unless you are taking his drug regimen, which from previous posts I have read on this board, is sizable.
Coach, you are 5'9" and weigh 230 or something? That's very heavy for your height. Carrying a heavy bodyweight is not healthy. It's a strain on your heart.
If Coach wants to risk his health it's his own business as far as I'm concerned. You have to make choices about how you want to live.
The piper will be paid at some point however. He did have a mini-stroke last year or whatever.
Bodybuilding as presented today is not realistic unless you are on the drug train.
IroNat, this is a very good post and even though I do what I do I’m not going to disagree with you. People on here know that I’m one of the few open about my use this is what I chose to do in the safest way possible. Bodybuilding as presented at anytime over the years has not been realistic unless you are on the “drug train”, it’s part of the game, it’s really a part of almost any game.
I don’t do this as a hobby and if you follow me on any of my social media platforms (no, I’m not asking you to follow) you’ll know this is my way of life. I eat, sleep, train and make my living from bodybuilding (a good living). Now, maybe I’m defending this a little by saying I can think of a thousand other ways of cutting my life short other than bodybuilding but I suspect this would be futile discussion.
But I’ve said many times, don’t assume I’m on a sizable of gear, I’m not but know one will believe that. Also, don’t believe everything you read about someone else’s cycle that’s been viral on the internet about some crazy amounts, 95% of it is complete bullshit, I’m not saying there’s bodybuilders out there that haven’t done this, those would be the ones wit serious health problems or dead.
Yes, at 5’6 and weighed in at 228 today I do understand that’s considered big and that’s my choice. My BP is normal, blood tests come back within normal range, no blockages, etc. I attribute this too Training everyday, cardio 3-4 days week (soon to be bumped up to 5) and I do for the most part eat clean. No, my weight, this type of training won’t go on forever, I get that but for about the next year or so, this is it.
