Is it necessary to use steroids to achieve a good body?

[Dacho12]

I don't mean to offend anyone with this question i'm just curious i'm new to this i would like to have the perfect body but it seems like it's impossible without consuming those substances my ideal body is this one the guy in the photo is WWE wrestler Finn Balor

i would like to have an abdomen like that naturally but i don't know if i can without using steroids i don't want to be a professional fitness competitor i just want to look good i've heard that several bodybuilders have died of a heart attack from abusing steroids i don't want that to happen to me so i'm looking for some advice

Necessary? Not always will come down to genetics and end goal primarily.

Only one way to find out and that’s do literally everything required minus the steroids

Do you have to use to look good? Of course not! Can you achieve the perfect body using aas? Of course not! If all you want is a great looking mid section you can achieve that by following a good eating plan and exercising for your specific goals. If abs is all you want do ab exercises every other day plus some form of cardio twice a day for minimum 5 days a week.

depends what your definition of a good body is, and how well you respond naturally, and also enhanced.

IMO, yes.

edit: I think most people could achieve what you define as a "good physique" naturally.

To get his physique, probably trt at the most based on how busy his schedule is. From what I read he is very strict with his diet and actually doesn’t do much cardio outside of ring work. And he’s around 5’10 175-180lbs so definitely doable.

I received plenty of compliments when i was still natural. And competed in BB naturally, so leaner and bigger then most people can certainly be done. Then i used steroids, but i still don't have a perfect body. Pretty much gave up on that dream.

Like others have said, genetics play a key role but you can most certain “look good” naturally. I’ve actually seen Finn Balor at an airport once. Don’t let tv fool you..he’s very short lol and under 200lbs easily. What does your physique look like?

 

[OldManLogan]

This has to be the vaguest question ever. Everything in it is absolutely subjective.

Can you get good abs (if that’s the definition of “looking good”) without AAS? Yes, with proper diet and training.

I’m shocked to see he’s 180-190. I’ve seen him before on tv next to other wrestlers and he’s tiny. I would have guessed 150-160ish.

They do usually inflate the wrestlers weights though.

I could be wrong, it’s hard to tell but I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s lighter. He look shorter than most of the guys around him

Yeah no way he’s 5’10 either. lol

He’s a tiny man. No steroids needed for that physique imo

To get this guys physique u don't need steroids

I trained naturally for over 10 years and made decent progress, but once I hit that plateau, it was frustrating. I decided to go with balkan pharma for my first cycle because a friend had good results with their stuff, and I wanted to be sure I was using something reliable. It made a noticeable difference, but I still keep diet and training dialed in every day.

No and this is exactly the kind of thing that should be discussed in the beginners forum. They push discussion and information on this board. Not steroids.

Lets be honest.. The guys who waited until they maxed out their natural gains(whatever that is...) are far and few between.
If any.. Can you really max out your natural gains ?
All of us poured petrol on the fire as soon as we made that first gym connect.

Thank you for your reply bud!

Absolutely and I tried to do the same thing at my gym at age 16 and a disturbing amount of gym bro’s were ready and willing to help me. It could have been the end right there.

You bring up an excellent point abt10.

When I first came here from a forum called Alinboard in 2005 I was in my mid 20’s and had done the work (I thought) and was ready! Let’s go! These guys shut my ass right down in PM’s on day 1. “You’re not even ready to post here boy. Spend a year here and let me (Mainevent) track your progress and when I think you’ve earned a place at the table I’ll back you when you do start asking questions.”

But that’s just my story as “the few and far between” so what about everyone else?
God willing brother some of them come here first and read our conversation and even then the vets here would say it wouldn’t make much difference. The desire, insecurity and just the way guys are is to strong for the weak to overcome.
They always fail. They get that first lump or don’t get what they want delivered. They never take the time to understand it.

We should all strive as members here to be like Mainevent and I don’t care if you’ve been here a day or since day 1. If you have experience share it with extreme prejudice on the open forum and let the Mods sort it out. (Don’t PM strangers)

We can’t help people who won’t help themselves but tonight you and I can rest easy knowing we did the best we could.

You should post more. I’ll back you.
