Thank you Big A for being real on this subject. I would have posted this a long time ago but to be honest I figured you yourself would have banned me.
This type of honesty will actually keep a lot of people healthy. I'll bet 99.9% of the guys on here would never use those doses even if they have them in available. I feel bad that soooooo many guys on here are led to believe that there is something wrong with them because they don't have the magic genetics of a pro.
Like Big A said, what will determine a pro is how their body looks like after years of training, strict diet and lots of drugs.
Bodybuilding is what YOU make of it, that is how it is defined. You can build a great looking physique with little to no drugs that's for sure. I get so pissed when people come on here and say that the pros take next to nothing because of their magical genes. At least tell the truth so a person can make a informed decision.
When I first started comepting I believed that you could build a body just like the pros naturally, but it would just take a little longer. I trained just as hard as anyone and yes I gained muscle, but not like some of the other guys who compteted. While I was training for my second show my Dr. wrote me a script for Dianabol. I took 2 a day for 50 days the last few weeks and gained 7 pounds. I came in leaner too so I call that 7 pounds pure muscle. Even after that I still believed that I could do it naturally. I even had a couple of IFBB judges tell me a had that genetics to turn pro one day. The only thing that they failed to tell me was that amounts of drugs I needed to use.
In those days it was about a 1/4 of that amount that is used today and in the end I decided that doing those kind of doses was not for me.
I don't mind if a pro has no comment on drug use, in fact in this day and age I would recommend it, but to go around preaching that you are natural is just too misleading. Whether someone is a pro or not when you see someone walking around at 250 lean they are on a boat load of shit and if they tell you that they are taking hrt doses they are a fu%&ing liar!!!! When you see a pro or anyone for that matter go from 240 to 270 in one year the only thing they changed was the amount of drugs they did. No it wasn't their diet or training or a new exercise they are doing. I've rambled enoug but I will leave you with this. If you want to compete stick to the local shows maybe do the nationals for fun, but stay healthy and enjoy the sport cause if you want to turn pro you gonna have to triple the amount you are doing and even then the chances that you are getting a pro card..... well play the lottery instead.
