IFBB PRO - SPEAKING THE TRUTH

[Phidias]

Well, the thing is that these days there are gym rats that take as many drugs as the pros. I really feel that the big deciding factor is genetics in the end, especially when it comes to which pros excel and win a lot of contests.

Even worse than that... can't count how many noobs with barely 2 months of lifting under their belt (and of course a non-existing physique) I've heard asking me advice about their "first cycle" and if they should double their deca/tren/test intake for they were fearing 1g of each would be a bit "weak"... :banghead: I mean, REALLY?!?!

What this sport has become over the last few years, mainly because of social media, is scary...

Yeah, I imagined it might be that bad. I don't lift at a gym anymore so don't get exposed to that stuff.

Back in the 80s when I was in high school and starting lifting we of course didn't have any of the electronic media and getting steroids was really hard. I lifted for about 1 year and then managed to get my hands on some dbol. Used that and winstrol, only orals, for about 1 year until that source dried up. The main guy selling got busted by the feds, it was big news. After that I didn't use a thing until I was about 28 years old.

I wonder though if we would have been any different if we had the same resources they kids do today. I would have probably been right in there like them. Don't know though about using a gram of stuff though, wow! I was always a bit conservative even as a kid. My first cycle of injectables was testosterone at 250 mg/wk when I started at age 28. I could have easily done a lot more if I wanted. So maybe I wouldn't have been like the kids today. Hard to say.
