Imagine what this natural would look like if he had juiced...
Part of an interview Trevor Smith conducted with this "natural":
TS: I know this is a touchy subject with you, but I have to ask. What are your theories on drugs in the sport?
VR: Well I get asked this all the time, and I do not like to answer because I feel I have to be responsible. I know what I am doing, but if someone thinks they can do what I do to be like me and then they hurt themselves, it becomes my fault. All I can say is there are proven medicinal uses for steroids and other compounds, which if used properly are very safe. However, the key is used properly. These days the guys are using insane amounts and using GH, and insulin as well. I would never in a million years play around with insulin or thyroid drugs either. Too dangerous. Besides if you know enough about nutrition you can effectively manipulate your own insulin levels to be very beneficial for building muscles.
TS: Alright, I ain’t pulling any punches... ..What drugs do you use and which ones do you feel are the most effective.
VR: Hmmm... ..nice try Trevor.
TS: Alright, let me rephrase that. If a bodybuilder were to choose to use drugs, are there any that you feel are safer and more effective than others.
VR: Let me just say that I think androgen-based drugs are shit and very dangerous and hard on the system. They do nothing but bloat the hell out of a person and then when they are stopped everything is lost. A much wiser approach would be to use highly anabolic compounds. Because if used correctly they can result in lots and lots of quality muscle that stays with you for the most part.
TS: Things like equipoise and winstrol are highly anabolic
VR: Yes
TS: Well in all honesty, I cannot believe that you don’t feel androgens are effective... I mean I would have guessed by your condition at fibo very huge but also holding water that you would find them somewhat useful
VR: I am not going to comment on my personal life for the reasons stated before. I will say, however, that there is one compound out there that is very androgenic, and very anabolic and would result in lots of muscle. But it is very toxic and dangerous and would never be used for any length of time
TS: And what compound would that be
VR: Parabolan
TS: You know one of the major problems I see, is that young guys coming up and in established pros, have a hard time training without the use of drugs and therefore stay on all the time. Mostly these guys never put in any time training naturally and once their cycle is done, they start to crash in size and panic. So rather than wait to clean the system and learn to train and progress naturally as well... they hop right back on a course or at the very least "bridge". Which always cracks me up because these idiots are never giving their body a break... which in the long run really hinders their progress.
VR: I totally agree. That is the problem. People don’t take the time off that their bodies need. It would be wise to give the body 4-6 months of total clean time a year... ..but invariable this happens with only a few. But they are the few that will be around for a long time and be healthy to boot. The other problem they have is they think drugs are the key which they are not. Nutrition and training are the keys...
