Bodybuilders are on steroids yeah. But they work twohundred times harder than anybody else to get their body. That's just the nature of the sport I'm afraid. There is also natural bodybuilding, but to be honest there isn't much recognition. I just enjoy doing this as a hobby. But whomever says the likes of Arnold is feeding bullshit just because he was on steroids is a fucking retard. Any fucking moron can inject Steroids into their body, it doesn't make them a professional bodybuilder. It's very fucking difficult. There is guys that go to my gym that are doing juice, but they will never look half as big as Arnold did. I've genuinely seen a lot of natty people that look better than steroid abusers.
Arnold has a huge fan base and a lot of money for a good reason, because he was good at what he did. Arnold was in the steroid scene, but he was still competing against people in his own league that were also using, if his techniques didn't work then his body wouldn't have been as aesthetic as it was.
'Drugs+Genetics+Politics=win' Yeah... that's generally how every sport in the world works, there is always a Genetics and political aspect all the way from Rugby to Basketball. Again, so fucking what if they take steroids. It's essentially a part of the sport hence why they don't do drug testing, who are you to judge, billions of people take drugs for recreational purposes if that's something as simple as smoking, alcohol or coffee it's still bad for you. These guys do it to make a living and if they're willing to sacrifice their health for the sport that's up to them. If you want to do it the natural healthy way like the rest of us good for you, but don't be jealous of these guys and say they don't know what they're doing because they most definitely do.
I'm very happy with my lifts, I'm happy with the way I look. I'm not here to please anybody but myself and if you are you're in the wrong sport and you should be taking steroids if all you want to do is look fucking huge and you're jealous of the abusers that do. I lift to stay fit and healthy - others have different goals and I respect that and I like watching drug enhanced Power lifting more than the bodybuiding aspect but I enjoy that too. I'm not jealous of anybody else and you can look huge as a natural with good genetics which luckily thanks to my father I have. You can look huge with skinny genetics, it might take some more work but it's most definitely achievable. From mixing up my routines I know what works for me, and changing my routine and doing different lifts at various frequencies does help in developing diffrent muscle angles, if you hit the same exercise day in day out you're not hitting every angle of your muscle and you create an imbalance. Sure, I may sometimes stick with the same routine for a few months if it's working for me, but generally I still may add something different here and there. I'm not trying to get 100% efficiency out of my exercise anyway because it's not my job.
