Why are you natural?

jfresh · 04-05-2007, 12:21 AM

I'm a natural bodybuilder and I recently met someone in my area that is using at the age of 18. I'm only 20 and was quite amazed at what I was hearing. He was on his third cycle and explained to me that he met a professional female bodybuilder through working at the "nutrion store" and she was ensuring what he was doing was very safe and effective. Not only that, she even offered to supply him with her source so that he could be sure he was getting what he was paying ofr and it was legit. Also, after some research on my part I found that there are no deaths that are related to that of taking anabolic steroids, ever. I'm starting this thread to find out the reasonings behind people making the choice to be NATURAL. I personally am natural because I feel that anyone can take roids and get big but it becomes a true challenge to do it without the aid of supernatural drugs and hormones. What are your thoughts?

im natural because i dont know where to get steroids or afford them. besides, now is not the right time for me.
my goal is to get my shit together seriously before i turn 23, and on my 24th year we'll see... thats the year i see myself using, but not until im fully ready in all aspects. (physical, mental, well read on them, ect)

I understand, the thing is that he offered to give me the contact that he was getting them from which was essentially "her" source. I never even really considered it but when its all put in front of you like that and then he says how amazing it is to see results so soon it makes it very tempting. Considering my money is there, the source is there, now its really just up to me................

Please don't fall for it just because it is there. The timing has to be right. I am not trying to give you a lecture just some perspective.

First you need to be at least 21. Second, you should give yourself at least 5 years of solid, consistent training, nutrition, and supplementation.

I can achieve my goals naturally. I don't want to be 280 @ 3.5%bf. I like the more aesthetically pleasing look compared to the mass freak type. If you give yourself more time you might see that what you want to achieve can be done naturally.

Good luck and stay safe!

Thanks freak, I think about it like it's actually an option but I don't think I really would ever do it even if it was the right timing and I had been training for 5 years like you said. I also like to be more pleasing to the eye than becoem the size of some of the mass monsters out there. So I think being a natty is just more my style and follows my beliefs more so than juicing does.

I think you will be happy with your decision. The longer you stay natural the better. Also, you will learn much more about your body, training, and supplementation this way.

Have a good night! You made my day!

Jfresh this may be the first, but certainly will not be the last time that the opportunity to do steroids will be put in front of you. Do more research and evaluate what you want out of working out, bodybuilding and your life. You'll probably find that the anwers will not be found in a bottle or a syringe. Realize that your friend is making a huge mistake and that amazing things are capabable naturally. Personally Im natural becouse I want to have the healthiest and must muscular physique I can possible have. To me steroids are not me. I get much more satifaction looking in the mirror and realizing that the what I have accomplish is thru hardwork, sacrifice, and determination. I remember the first natural bodybuilders I ever saw and to me it was more impressive then looking at ronnie or flex because it should what the human body was trulycapable of. Natrual bodybuilding is bodybuilding in its purest form. Its about building a incredible physique with what you were given and livning a healthy structure lifestyle.IMO

should of done spell check! I think u get my drift though

I sometimes think about it but I think if I start using and gain size I will have to keep using to maintain it. If I then decided to stop I don't think I would then like having to loose all the size I gained.

I want to prove to the world that you can achive great results without them. There are too many people that think in order to get big you HAVE to take steroids. Some people think its a miracle pill and does nothing but some pushups and situps in their home thinking they are going to get big. They dont even care about nutrition. Some people dont even train at all and just take steroids.

Too me thats paphetic. I have been offered steroids quite sometimes, but Ive always turned it down. Many of my friends have used or are using them, but I could never do it. The thing is Im very old fashion and got moral standars against using steroids. I could never look in the mirror after injecting myself with a syringe. I want to gain muscle the hard way and know that Ive really worked for it and earned it. I want to motiviate and inspire other people to do the same.
