I enjoy discussing bodybuilding.
When I joined this site 500mg test plus 300mg deca was a decent cycle. Now it's nothing.
I've done my share of runs in these amounts and grew a bit, then lost most of it after discontinuing use and went back to my small natural frame. I understand the site is called ProMuscle, but if it was restricted to pros neither you or I would be here.
I admire good builds and freaks. Big fan of Dorian, Ronnie, Big Ramy and such and could care less if they take 500g of AAS per week.
What really gets to me is people on multiple g's of AAS, HGH and insulin looking like an average gym rat on test/dbol. There's gotta be something wrong there. Someone said no one cares about the kid's health or whatever. I may not be specifically concerned about his health, but watching his videos and seeing how unhealthy he looks and sounds made me a bit sad.
I have people that are close to me fighting diabetes, tumors, thrombosis, addiction and all sorts of diseases and then I see a young and healthy guy chasing death. And worst of all, he's not getting anywhere in the sport.
Fair enough..... Wasn't looking to start any argument with you bc you're absolutely entitled to your opinions. It's just that most of your posts are against today's bodybuilding. Not only are you against the drugs used, but just recalling your post history from memory, you also aren't a fan of most competitors today, right?
I know you have a couple of kids and that's why you're so against all the drugs, but Big A is right by saying why do you care so much? I too, have two children and I understand wanting to protect them at all cost, but the truth is, KIDS ARE GOING TO BE KIDS regardless of what you say or do. Sure, you can warn them of all the dangers, but you know as well as I do if a kid wants to do something then they are most likely going to do it. You know why? Because kids have the, "it will never happen to me," me mentality. The think that they're invincible and never going to die. I'm sure that you can scare them, but once that wears off I bet you anything that they'll be right back where they started doing stuff that you warmed them about.
As far as mega dosing bodybuilders go, you can not like them bc you don't agree with their choices, but I think it's silly to say that,"Johnny Doe," who is a 30 year old adult started blasting 2G of test bc Ronnie Coleman did it. A teenager that really knows no better might look up to his idol and try stuff out, but as adults we make our own decisions and choices. What's wrong with a lot of people today is that they want nothing to do with taking credit for their actions. You know why? They act like that bc, people like you (no offense) point the finger at the wrong people!
I hear so many parents complain about what's on TV bc the movies and shows are bad influences on their kids.
Here's an idea, how about the parents actually start paying attention to their kids and being that positive role model. If my children behave, have manors, get good grades in school, and RESPECT me, my wife, and others then that means that my wife an I are doing a pretty good job. I'm not saying that a well brought up kid with morals and high values will always turn out great, but for the most part, it's true.
Taylor Hooton's(sp?) dad is a perfect example of this. If you have seen the documentary, "Bigger, Stronger, Faster," then you'll know that he was the teenage boy on that film who was very athletic, ran a few cycles of steroids, and committed suicide after he had gotten off of them. Well, his dad feels strongly that the Steroids he took were the direct cause of his sons suicide. The kid had a documented history of depression, but he claims that Taylor was perfectly ok before he shot himself. Bull.... Shit! This kid played high school baseball which stresses you out bc you have to get good grades to play, and you also have the additional stress to perform. I guarantee you that his dad was one of those fucking asshole parents that always make their kid feel like he never played good enough or that he was always screwing up and failing. I went to high school with a few guys like that and they hated their parents bc of that.
I'm sure that heroin, cocaine, crack cocaine, and meth make you feel really good, but as an adult I chose not to take them because of the dangers involved. They ruin bodies, lives, and nothing good ever comes out of 99% of recc drugs. I know better than to try any of that shit once bc most likely I will get hooked just like millions of people out there. The same rule applies to people wanting to use steroids, GH, slin, Epo, peptides, synthol, etc.... Sure people want to use them to look great or to make things "easier," than taking the natural road, but most street drugs make you feel GREAT and want to do good things, too.
My entire point is that roles models can have a deal of influence over their fans, but its YOUR responsibility to worry about YOU and the choices you make. Kids obviously need guidance, but I'm speaking directly about adults. If you make your kids feel wanted, beautiful, and like a gift then that's exactly how they'll act. If you make them feel low, like shit, or they're never good enough, well they will that way, too.
