I don't care what anyone says, sure they do work very hard to get the great muscular bodies that they have, but let's not for one minute pretend that that they don't, or have not, taken some form of anabolic steroid.
The fact that fitness is their life and means so much to them is the obvious reason that they would be prepared to take the risk. They aren't in it just for kicks. It is hard work for them and anyone who is aware of what they do in and out of the gym knows that these professionals do what they can to further improve themselves.
None would ever openly admit to it to the media, that would jeapardise their careers and sponsorships, but that is the bottom line truth. Sorry if I burst anyone's bubble, but in my opinion ignorance is not always bliss.
Say what you like, but those who know the truth would not argue with this.
True, true.....but then again, we are not talking about women (or men) who are grappling with the delimma of how to lose those last few bumps on the back of their thighs. It is about BEING FIRST and EARNING A LIVING - PERIOD. Could you imagine what an intense amount of pressure these people are under?
Because this board affords anonimity, the members are allowed to discuss MANY aspects of fitness/bodybuilding, A/S BEING THE LEAST IMPORTANT PART OF THE EQUATION!
Let us all remember that A/S IS NOT MAGIC - there are many whose pics I have seen (I AM NOT SAYING THAT I AM ALL THAT.....I often joke that my ass ain't perfect, but I have pics that say it is - HEHEHHEHEHHEEE) and the only thought that runs through my mind is,"THEY took drugs?" If one does NOT posess the knowledge of the basics: diet, training, discipline, genetics (though many genetic flaws can be greatly overcome) they are basically wasting money.
A topic that I do not see very often on the women's board is, "How does one MAINTAIN the gains they achieve from A/S use?" - which is an indication to me that many of the board member may try A/S thinking that it is some sort of panacea for their physique vexations only to discover that the desired effect was NOT ACHIEVED.....not because the drug did not work, but because they lacked knowlegde of all the other MORE IMPORTANT factors that would yield the desired result. In other words, their expectations are unrealistic. Also, unless there is a specific goal in mind ie: a higher level competition, what is the point? The sides for women CAN BE great and to some even sides that would be considered minimal ie: singing voice being destroyed....are devastating.
This is NOT a pro/con A/S post, I am only trying to get the members to think a bit. When the mention that the pros use A/S (YES....THEY DO - it is A PROFESSIONAL NECESSITY) it gives the allure to many that, "Well, OF COURSE, THEY LOOK LIKE THAT - THEY USE A/S!" Ergo: If I use a/s then I will look like them also! NOT AN ACCURATE TRAIN OF THOUGHT.
Determine your goals and become educated. Elite is one of the best places on the net to make this happen. What you DO with that info is strictly up to you! Remeber, KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!
