Haven't Thought OF This In a While

[Nelson Montana]

I was thinking of when I was a kid, back around 1830 or so, and I chuckled at one particular aspect of bodybuilding. Back then, there was a big connection between "health" and muscles. All the magazines emphasized being healthy and to a young mind, I thought the reason the champs looked so good was because they were so extrodinarily HEALTHY!

Okay, so it's not such a bad way to start out. And I will never be one of these old timers who revel in "the good old days." Hey, I was kicked of the ironage forum because I couldn't stand all these old farts acting like school girls over anything that had to do with bodybuilding prior to 1980 and I told them so.

But it's moments like that that make you stop and realize, one of the great things of this lifestyle is about being a superior specimen. Sure, steroids can help in that request. (Hence, my first breakthrough article STEROIDS FOR HEALTH) and I know we all tend to push the envelope because, well, muscle look so fucking cool!

But try and keep some prespective, bros from an old school vet. Stay on track. TAke care of your body. Show it respect. Don't make it sick so you can appear to be special --BE SPECIAL. For real.

I promise, I won't ask anyone to drink cod liver oil or eat liver tabs and brewers yeast.

Poignant reminder for all of us. Thanks, Nelson!

Thanks for the reminder. Take care of your body and you dont have to look/feel old.

Now a days people are not interested in health. They are interested in looking good.

Good post Nelson.

Agreed, I see it staying healthy 1st priority and 2nd priority looking good/ better. After all you cannot look good when you are not healthy....

Thanks

And for what it's worth, all the elements of health make results better and longer lasting. You recover faster. Your skin maintains elasticity as you age. Your muscles have a solidity that can withstand layoffs and rebound quickly.

That's why guys like Bob Delmontique have that glow and vitality about them whereas guys who were jacked just last year, now look like shit. Or are sick. Or are dead.

Ummm...this is an anabolic steriod forum..lol

Anyone who prioritizes their HEALTH over their PHYSIQUE will most likely not even use anabolic steroids.

I can be honest, my goal is to look GREAT, not necessarily to be the healthiest. After all, being extremely muscular itself is not even healthy to begin with. I have most definitely risked my health in order to look my aboslute best.

In the end, I believe in QUALITY of life over QUANTITY of life. I'd rather live a DAY as a LION than a lifetime as a MOUSE.

YES. THE POST CONCERNS ANABOLIC STEROIDS

I BELIEVE THEY CAN BE USED IN A WAY THAT DOESN'T COMPROMISE HEALTH AND MAY ENHANCE IT.

WHY MUST ONE EXCLUDE THE OTHER? DO YOU THINK WOMEN THINK STEVE REEVES OR ZANE OR ARNOLD WEREN'T BIG ENOUGH? DO YOU THINK THEY GO CRAZY FOR RONNIE COLEMAN?

YOU'RE WRONG ABOUT THAT.

THAT'S FOOLISH IMO.

ARE YOU TRYING TO BE RIDICULOUS? HEALTH IS QUALITY DUDE. YOU CAN'T HAVE A QUALITY LIFE IF YOU DON'T HAVE YOUR HEALTH.
