Can You Get That Big Without Steroids?

[MainerMikeBrown]

I realize that better nutrition, better supplements, and more knowledge about weightlifting in general are some reasons why bodybuilders who compete are bigger and more ripped these days compared to bodybuilders from years past.

However, I find it hard to believe that people can get that muscular without taking steroids.

And what's the point in winning bodybuilding contests when you (and all of your competition, for that matter) have gotten so big because you and the rest have cheated?

People can get that big, the difference is the time it takes. Steroids merely speed up the process and allow the body to recover much faster. There are plenty of body builders nowadays that do it the right way without cheating.

What I think is funny is how often steroids get a man's penis smaller and lose his hair, cause heart problems......really is it worth it........?

its not good for you this is why
the muscle if in their older years they slack from working out becomes very flabby and heavy
puts tremedous strain on tendons and joints
the ripped smaller muscle is better cause it lets the body be more flexable with less bounds on the movements
which lets you get the movement you need to keep your body stress free (not mental stress) physical stress
that is what is needed just enough to fully develope tight muscles yet you could spin and twirl and flip to your hearts content
kinda like a bruce lee bod
cause gravity is the ultimate stress you have it all day everyday and muscle weighs more than fat

The scary thing is that horrible health issues are still worth it to those who used steroids. Many people well after their athletic careers are over say that it was still worth it despite what they're going through now.

Talk about an unhealthy obsession.

I think it's imposible to reach that big without using steroids or another kind of nocive substances. However, laws regarding doping are very different in each country, so in France they have an very restrictive one, Spanish ones I think is not as restrictive as French.

I have friends who competed in their youth, and all they told me that sometime they had used steroids because of "no growing" periods.
Using only whey protein and working hard, you won't reach this level, that's for sure.
