Natural Bodybuilding

Is it me or is it that bodybuilders of today that use anabolics and HGH more popular then the natural pros of today. I know people want to see more of a bigger body, but is it worth it. There's just so muscle mass you can put on a human body, unless your 7'5 feet tall.

Are they more popular? Well yes and no. Yes because I believe the media that covers the sport put them more into the spotlight. Plus we're a society of more is better and getting more faster is even better.

Is it healthy? Loaded question really because it depends on a lot. Moderation on anything is key. I would be more concerned with the diuretic use moreso than the AS use.

as a whole the non natural side of things is alot bigger, maybe because its been around for longer and also the fact that people will pay to see that freaky size and shock value that some of those guys bring. the audience and coverage on this side of the spoort is definatley bigger hece those guys being more popular

i myself like watching the iffbb shows/videos etc because of the sheer size of those guys

wheter its worth it or no i guess is down to the individual making the choice. me, id say no but hey, each to their own.

in extremely bad taste considering the readership of this section

it's like going into the steroid section and proclaiming all steroid users "cheaters and frauds" or something of the like.

It may have been a joke, but it was insulting and in bad taste and I'd just assume not have it in this forum.

Don, Layne has every right to moderate his area as he sees fit. Consider what you're posting prior to hitting the reply button.

Fair enough, already apologized.. so not much else I can do

umm..sorry again!

was all in good fun tho...I joined BBD to learn an to help not to start fights :P

**str8flexed** · 07-29-2006, 02:44 PM

apology accepted... but i don't buy this all in good fun or 'it was just a joke'

is that suppossed to be some sort of free pass? Let me get this straight, I can say anything insulting that I like so long as I preface it with "all in good fun" or "just joking" or "it was just a joke"?

writing down something offensive to others and then trying to justify it by saying it was just a joke doesn't fly. I appreciate the apology, but I get tired of people posting offensive stuff and then when someone gets offended they act like the person overreacted because "it was just a joke"

Well honestly I didn't mean for it to be offensive ... I dont remember my original post but I think I said somthing like "i saw this funny quote.." or somthing like that .... but anyways more power to ya ...natural or gear, both of I think is admirable because as long as your in the gym bustin your ass, your still better then anyone else who sits on the couch (or computer chair) wishing they would be big without any real dedication- its all about workin hard an going above and beyond what other people do....thats what make bb's powerlifters an anyone whos serious about lifting tick ......IMO atleast

(my bad about the long post- just got back from the gym on a chest day an was all motivated haha)
