Pardon my ignorance here but how you going to do both. I know you can do a "Natural Comp" first. But as far as I'm concerned once you cross the line and do enhanced shows you can't go back to natural shows again. You can but morally you know this would be wrong. There are lots of assholes that do natural shows while juicing. I have no respect for these people at all. I have trained 100% natural athletes that have lost shows to people I know were juicing. As far as I was concerned my boy won his show fair and square. I told him this as well. he was bitterly disappointed that they did not drug test. I explained to him that this is the reason why I have problems with these so called natural federations. You do what you want bro but you have to live with your decision. Jusy my opinion no offense intended!

alright.

I know that natty shows give a polygraph etc.

I have bought ephedra and have been using it and I know they have a 3 year policy.

I have a very guilty conscience and I realized that I could easily win natty shows without a problem.... It would take more time to do non-tested shows and less chances.

Help me out here.

My view, I chose to do IFBB and NABBA shows and not go into natural BBing for the reasons I stated above. A lot of these guys are anything but natural. Does this make it ok to take banned substances and compete in Natural shows? Of course not. So I decided long ago to compete where the playing field is level. If it is going to take you a little longer to be in condition to do the other non tested federations then so beit! I have spent 33 yrs under the iron and it wasn't until the last 14-15yrs that I have been competeing. A quality championship physique takes time and dedication. Put in the hard work and compete where you belong. You will be able to then hold your head high and know your victories are hard earned and fair! If you are not enhanced and want to do natty shows then go ahead. These guys and girls that play by the rules have my utmost respect for their hard work and ethic. I just do not like to see the cheats winning Natural shows. I have very strong principals where these things are concerned. But again the choice is yours!
