Yes it is possible. But to a certain extent. Within limits. You can't win competitions without juicing. At least I've never seen it. Have you seen the Ontario "natural" bbing contest. Huge and ripped guys pretend their natural, and I've seen that talk about their cycles in the gym...
We all have seen the very tall and thin lads, you know the types, they were the rock'n roll gods in the 80s.
Think David Bowie when he was Ziggy Stardust.
Serious hardgainer.
A young man with that type of serious ectomorphic hardgainer physique is NOT going to get huge and ripped by the age of 20.
They will have to be a lot smarter about training, use different techniques, take more recovery time, really be great about the diet.
As for those that cheat in nattie comps, what absolute losers.
To think that winning a natural comp when you are juicing is just pathetic.
This issue is near and dear to me as I am a lifetime nattie and I am really cautious about what I put in my body, I don't even use extra strength cold and flu remedies as they have phenylephidrine in them.
The thing is, as a nattie female, I do have a lot of muscle, and I move a lot of weight, and my natural status has been questioned.
I suppose I am just glad I am female, as some of the changes from AAS are far more apparent in women.
I really don't get where the difficulty is, you either compete in gear feddies, or you stay clean for the amount of time you are meant to be clean for, or don't use at all and compete in a natural feddie.
How is that difficult?
