First of all you never should forget that ( lets take the top ten olympia competitors as a measure of the highest grade of inside info you can get ) these guys are
THE GENETIC SUPERTALENTS of our sport.Supreme genetic potential is God given and whenever a person who has been blessed with it is also willing to invest the hard work, dedication and perseverence and find him/her self in numeral other positive circumstances as financial sources and good guidance, no injuries or other health setback and lots of support in their personal lives......he or she
MAY become a succesful pro.
I think it's understandable that he question is often asked but to be honest I think you will NEVER get the precise info from the pro's. The info they share is probably just a fraction of what goes on in reality. I'm convinced that they are using products and procedures that we never even heard of, they will allways be 5 to ten years ahead of us. I'm also convinced that the contracts they have with the powers that be in the sport prohibit them of sharing the kind of info we are asking for during their carreers and even after they retire.
And last of all I am convinced some of them are guineepigs under contract for the pharmaceutical industry which however also will never be told by them due to great legal concequences that would have.
So the only way to get that big is to be born with the genetics required as well as the right mentality.Be lucky in health and choose the right wave of circumstances to surf on.And when you have been so fortunate that God gave you all this...... be so lucky that Gods brother, Joe Weider, sees $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ he can make on you.
Otherwise........train hard and be happy you dont look like most of the couchpotatoes on the block
