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!!!

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 .

War-Horse · « **Reply #8 on:** May 25, 2007, 10:07:25 AM »

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???

ATHEIST · « **Reply #9 on:** May 25, 2007, 01:29:50 PM »

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.

? 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.

Hey dlee, is there any pics around of Faildo or Andre Ewing? If so, post them on this thread, we can compare.

Congradulations on the college degree. your confidence will take you beyond the impossible, and you will exceed all expectations.

So, what are your stats...history...compet ed??

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.

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.
