50... looking like that... naturally?

The test and GH levels needed just aren't possible. If he was 25 then it would still be hard to believe but at 50... Sorry this is one claim of being natural that just goes too far.

All that said, he looks amazing and is inspiring no matter what.

is hrt considered natural?

He looks great, but I'm calling atleast TRT/HRT. Either way I don't care, but at his age it would be impossible to get in that kind of shape without higher test levels.

AT THAT AGE.. DAVE HAS "HELP"..

I'll disagree with that. With a level of conditioning to that tune, kept for decades, the body can easily maintain a physique of that caliber drug free. It's conditioning, and his body has been conditioned to it for years and years.
I have a 45 year old female client that has been competing as a gymnast since she was 5. I've done her prep for 3 shows and the woman is just ripped and conditioned all year long beyond what most males are. It's because her body has been conditioned to it over time. That's why it's called condition.
Drugs are great, but they dont make or break by a long shot.

so, is this gymnast as jacked as he is? because the only way your story about her is relative is if she is. he can't maintain that body easily without "help" as you say, just won't happen

I have no interest in starting or getting into a heated debate about this guy's or any other guy's natural or assisted physique. Of course we are all speculating, unless one of you out there knows this guy personally. But the majority of us have some pretty extensive experience in the assisted department. There is a certain look to a physique that is associated with being "assisted" and then there is the natural look! SO you may believe what you want to and we will believe what we want to. But experience with my own results over the years and those of the many I have trained both assisted and natural tell me otherwise. And I am talking about seasoned vets of the game. I could really give a rat's ass if he is or isn't. I am not taking anything away from this man's dedication and hard work..........But why try to BS? Tell it like it is unless his job would be in jeopardy or he has been competeing Au Natural and does not want to be found out as a possible cheat! The only one he is cheating is himself in this case. Great looking physique! Top credit to him for that!

My example is not to draw a parallel on muscularity, it's to speak on what conditioning can do if kept over time.
I've competed in the same shows as Dave(heavier class). He weighs about 190lbs offseason(competes as a middle at around 5'8). Not exactly a mountain of muscle to maintain. If he had 5 more percent bodyfat he wouldn't be considered for what everyone is assuming here.

He may very well be on stuff. Not the point. My argument is the ability to have a conditioned physique maintained without assistance. At that age, and weight, it's possible. I'd argue, not even all that difficult if your genetics allow for it.

That's cool, no reason to argue over it because it take us no where. We have different opinions which is great. Like I said drug free or not he looks great.
