Chef... Ashopreps post pretty much answers your question. No I don't think I know it all(at all). But I do know the top 20 pro's in the world are trying everything they can to improve and look freaky.
Everything? Do you really think EVERY pro is doing "everything" he can to make improvements? This is not so. There are 2 reason why a pro might not be doing doing everything he can to make improvments: health and money.
Some guys care more about their internal health than others...even pros...and therefore, they will only push things as far as they are comformatbale with. Some others have an "I don't give a fuck if I die tomorrow" attitude and are willing to do anything it takes to make even the smallest improvements.
The issue of money is frequently a problem. Somehow, many posters think every pro has unlimited funds to buy anything they want in unlimited quantities. This couldn't be farther from the truth. Do you know how many pros are basically broke? It is only the top pros and a small percentage of others who earn a decent living. LOTS of pros could never afford to use anywhere near "everything". What about the guys living in Austrlia? Do you know how expensive GH is over there...and how difficult it is to get, even for many of the higher level guys? VERY! Even in America, I could name quite a few guys who use very little and at some times no GH because they just can't afford it. therefore, they rely more on cheaper drugs, like AAS & insulin. What about myostatin inhibitors? Do you think every pro is using the full gamut of MYO I's at maximum doses? No freakin' way. In fact, based on my observations, many pros don't even know that much about Myo I's, let alone use them at maximum doses.
It is true that every pro has to possess a certain degree of passion just to get where he is...and although drug use is large in the IFBB, not everyone is doing all the same things. Willingness to assume risk, financial status, personal preference, and other factors all play a role in what a BB'r will or won't/can't do.
SEO (syntherol etc) is so widely used these days. It's evident when you look at many pro's 22 inch arms and ridiculous delts.
Of course, it is widely used...because it works and it works well, BUT...not "everyone" uses it...and certainly not everyone uses it in multiple bodypart. I have no idea whether Evan has used or currently uses it, but I would not be surprised if he hasn't/doesn't. The point is that just because it is popular, it does not mean we should automatically assume that every BB'r uses it...nor can we necessarily look at a BB'r and say exactly what bodyparts it was used in, especially if it was applied proplery or we are delaing with people who are genetically gifted in those areas.
It is my opinion that Evan dos NOT have Synthol is his chest. It is not as popular to use Synthol in the chest compared to bodyparts like the arms and delts simply because it requires a much larger number of injections...and the chances of screwing things up is greater. MOST guys do not have the patience for it...or they are worried they might mess things up. In addition, Evan's chest actually looks very similar to how it did a year ago. Did you see Evan's most recent video with Jose? In it, he has no chest pump and it looks very much the same.
The main reason I know such a thing is Big A said himself nearly every IFBB pro uses it. How we would be surprised the names of customers for synthetek's syntherol. So do you think Big A thinks he knows it all too?
I am sure we would be surprised to know everyne who has used it...because when properly appllied, you should not be able to see any tell-tale signs of mis-use. This is why Big A stresses the importance of doing things a certain way...so the only outward sign of its use is a bigger muscle.
Being the owner of a synthol production comany, Big A is obviously going to have a greater awareness of people that use it compared to the typical person...just like well known pro coaches are going to have a much greater awareness of the cycles BB'rs run compared to the average person, but I am alos sure Big A would admit he doesn't know what every pro BB'r is doing--no one does. I could be wrong, but I think the point Big A was trying to get across is that Synthol is very popular and many BB'rs use it. I do not think he was trying to say "every" single pro in the world has bought from him.
