Anyone know who is entering the Team Universe this year?
-
I don't know. One thing is for sure. 99% of them are not natural thats for sure.

Date :July 13-14 ,2007,New York

I'll be doing it. As for it being natural, I have to believe a true natural has a chance or I wouldn't bother entering.

Now thats the way a CHAMPION Thinks!!! Its not up to us to control the guy next to us. As far as i see it, i set no limits to potential and if a guy tells me he uses to my face...then i know. If he doesnt say or do that....then why should i worry or make excuses.
Be the best you can be and thatll make you the winner!!! 8)

You get it War-Horse. I'm so tired of naturals limiting themselves, aiming too low and only competing in "safe" contests. I'm one and two weeks out from two very tough non-tested NPC shows after competing (and winning) two drug-tested contests. I continue to improve every week, and am excited because now I'm venturing into condition that I've never before acheived, just by staying on my contest prep. And yes I'm a lifetime drug-free bodybuilder.
Just to keep me motivated I got a new tattoo this week on my forearm, two kanji symbols meaning DISCIPLINE and DRIVE.

Looking good, Naturally built. Good luck with the TU and your other shows. I'll be doing the TU as well, so see I'll see you there.
-
good job tim,that's conditioning to the top,that's great clean or not.that's what being a clean bber is about ,good diet and no room for errors.a non natural can skate by being fuller and lean,a natural needs that skinned look.u have good structure .
-
I have never seen such rock hard muscularity on a natural....you have raised the bar for us in regard to what is possible!!!
Serious tim....you need to keep in touch with us and tell us how the shows went and share some secrets of your diet and training.....
Ive attained alot of mass and am accused of steroids all the time, but i see it as a compliment......leaning out as we speak!!
Have you thought of going pro in one of the natty org's???
-
Has anyone of you who plan on competing in the T.U heard of any other competitors plans? Has Skip retired? what about Jose? what happened to Faildo after the 2003? sorry been out of the scene for a while...

They gave Skip a Pro Card for being a past winner I believe. Jose won two years ago, earned pro card, not sure about Faildo.
Watch out for a guy this year from Arizona named AJ, heavy weight and true natural who has won his class in non tested shows!

The fact that you actually say this and expect people to believe you makes me sick. I keep my negative comments to a minimum, but I could not help to comment on this thread. You have a great build..but you are a f##cking liar.

Have you settled for a mediocre build el guapo????? Even if hes a cheater whats the harm in believing in yourself, to get to this level.?
Maybe you could and you just dont know it.........

My dear WarHorse...I absolutely believe in myself and everything that I can accomplish in all aspects of my life. I just graduated college this past May while maintaining a heavy work week as well as training. I love bodybuilding and everything that comes with it as it was my form of stress relief. To your second comment...I am not against juicing in any way, but the comment made by the guy really struck a nerve as it was a flat out lie that only the ignorant would actually believe.

Hey El Guapo, can we keep the posts on this board positive? until proven otherwise Naturally Built aka Tim Martin is a natural bodybuilder. Any more posts that challenge his natural status on this thread/board will be deleted -No notice will be given. Are we cool?
If you want to challenge that Tim's "natty" status? Well this aint the board to do it on.

I believe there are some veterans returning to the TU stage in July - including Chris Faildo and Andre Ewing. It might be one of the most competitive shows in TU history.

Your positive thinking brings a smile to my face. I'm starting to enjoy reading your posts lol. Anyway about me...I started lifting back in my senior year of high school for football. Played OL and was able to get a scholarship to play small college football for a couple of years. When I played I was weighing in the 295 range and my lifting was generally a mix of olympic and powerlifting. Once I had decided that football was definitely over I grew more attracted to bodybuilding as I wanted to emulate some of the physiques that I was training around and eventually with. I am currently somewhere in the lower 230's standing at 6'3, I would guesstimate my bodyfat in the 14 percent range. I have been dieting for the past couple of months and when I get to the 9-10% range I am looking to post some before and afters for everyones enjoyment. ;D
As far as competing....not so sure. If ever a time comes when I think about it seriously it would be just to say that I did it, nothing serious. My main focus for my immediate future is building my career. After all I'm in the "real world" now and it;s a scary place. ;D

See you on the boards... 8)

It's tiresome responding to posts like yours, but here goes. I'm 39 and have been seriously training for 19 years. The photos I posted are after 21 weeks of dieting. This month I have competed in (and won) two drug-tested competitions, the WNBF Pro American and NPC Mid Atlantic Natural Classic. Both had polygraphs, and the WNBF show had urinalysis. I've done 25 shows and never failed a test.
Obviously if I post a photo of myself I'm going to make sure I look good in it. In my everyday life wearing work clothes people don't even know I'm a bodybuilder.
The hardest thing about natural bodybuilding is overcoming the limititions we put on ourselves. Good luck with your bodybuilding life.
-
Tim. Please check in and post some photos from your comp.... Its very impressive to be tested in 25 shows. I think youve set new standards for muscularity and want to hear more of your diet strategys and such.
People always seem to brush aside the 22 weeks of dieting you did and say "drugs" lololo
I would like to travel this path your on of wnbf and make some shows.
I am lifetime natty also, but people dont believe... i used to be a powerlifter so size was easy....

Just to check in, I did the NPC Bev Francis Atlantic States yesterday and won the overall as a NATURAL, so it can be done!

And good luck with the rest of your TU prep. 5 weeks and a few days more to go. See you there.

The TU should be a good one this year with you two and the rest of the guys coming back..I hear Jose might be in the welters again. with him and Faildo it should be competetive. And the middles/ LT Heavys will also be a show. Is Skip doing it again?

Hey you're looking good man. I'll see you at the TU. My diet and training are going very well. I think this will be my best condition ever. I'm working with IFBB Pro Jonathan Rowe on my diet so I am excited about the outcome. See you in the NYC.

Thanks to all of you for your encouraging words. I have been training really hard for this show and dieting my butt off literally ;D
I have had the pleasure of working with IFBB Pro Jonathan Rowe on my diet. He has made the whole process so much simpler.
I believe this will be my best showing to date if I dial it in right on time.
Some pics of posing practice.

Thanks man. When are you competing?
I'm not driven to compete right now, and as you most likely know if your not driven then you won't put your best foot forward. Bodybuilding competition is something you can do at any age, so maybe later.. ..or maybe not..

2 weeks out. 148 lbs.
Can't wait to eat. ;D

Where's the chicken and beer?!?!

Thanks. Took a totally different approach this year. After last year I felt I looked stringy and soft because I dieted for too short a period. I added good fats to every meal, and have now been dieting for 28(!!!) weeks. I've actually gotten bigger and harder since my first show this year on May 5th, about five pounds heavier and much harder. Looking forward to putting it on the line this coming weekend. As Theodore Roosevelt said about testing yourself:
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

you are cracking jokes buddy. To any experienced competitive bodybuilder it is clear as hell that "Naturally Built" certainly is not naturally built. First picture he posted there are clear signs of gyno. You look good bro, but you cant fool all of us. The nievity of some people on this bored truly amazes me.

Naivete, not "nievity"; board, not "bored"! If you're going to sling accusations at least learn how to spell correctly.
-
Great quote there,NaturallyBuilt.Very motivational.I am competing in 10 days and use words like that to get me through.
Don't worry about the haters.Many average trainers cannot accept excellece as they do not have the drive and desire,or perhaps the genetics,to achieve it themselves.Good luck with achieving your goals 8)

Naivete, not "nievity"; board, not "bored"! If you're going to sling accusations at least learn how to spell correctly.
and if you are going to compete and claim you are natural, stop using hormones. Hope this helps. I am not a hater at all, you have a good physique and i am sure you have worked hard to get to the level you are at. But you have definately used hormones and you cannot pull the wool over my eyes champ. Picture 1, gyno, nuff said.

I don't know. One thing is for sure. 99% of them are not natural thats for sure.
My thoughts exactly
