Whether synthol requires one to workout or not,I don't think people care. Thats doesn't matter, what matters is what someone looks like on stage. Whether it was through surgery, sythol, or whatever way. Almost always,No one cares how hard someone works etc.
An example....When someone is born with natural running speed and runs a 10.5 the first time they step on the track, and then their is someone else who works harder than him but never ran as fast as him, no one cares. All they care about is the end result. So that is why I think that since steriods(perfermacne enchancing) are legal(Ok to use in BB), then Synthol should be ok to use too.
If you are concerned about work ethic, and who works the hardest...Then you should be for an all natural competition. No steriods,NO eca,No implants, etc, just food and lifting. Your belief is another pick and chose what is ok to use idea.
Ignoring the public, mainly ignoring the people who workout naturally. The contest that allows steriods,gh ,etc but not synthol or implants makes sense. Only if all the participates are ok with the use of the steriods,gh etc. But looking at the whole workout community and making those rules(pick and chose) is not cool.
What I am saying is this. Most if not all the top BB use steriods like naturals use creatine. Their usage of drugs portrays them to have the attitude that steriods are no more harmful than a steak. So, everyone having that attitude its as if steriods ,gh are natural ,since no one looks at them like a threat.
Now the next level...implants,synthol. Some Top BB might look it at at hesitate and be scared. That is like how naturals are scared of roids and gh. Its just another level up.
Bodybuilding is more than just how much someone works out and diets. Genetics, drugs,timing, synthol, diet,training....it all matters.
The work to become a better better bodybulider is not just working out. It can be mental too by dieting,pain etc. Dieting is not working out. You can also add pain and risk under "work" to become a bodybulider. Thinking like this will allow you to think that using synthol and getting surgery are both sacrifices. Just like using steriods and gh on top of working out is a sacrifice, to make you better than working out naturally.
I don't think there is a fair way to hold a competion, since everyone was born with different ablities. Even the olympics aren't always a competiion where the hardest working athelethes compete. Most of the were born with the ability. All I mean is, why are they allowing some perfermance enchancing items, but not others??? At least the olympics make sense, they all no perfermance enchancing items. Probably the fairest way to do would be all out,using everything. Another way is all natural, using nothing.
When a natural says " I would look like that if I used " ,Its a Sin and a crime, and the juicer will get mad. But its ok for a juicer to say " I would look like that if i used synthol". I think thats messed up.
