Who is trying to compete?

[mikediesel04]

Are you taking steroids to compete in bodybuilding/sports or for a better physique?

I am wondering how many people on here that are taking steroids or have taken steroids in the past are trying to compete in bodybuilding, either at the amateur level or the professional level.

 

[Wulfgar]

I compete

 

[Burpees]

I'm new to this all, but I'm trying. I would like to compete, at least at the amateur level. I want to step on the stage at Muscle Mania next year, or the year after that. I'm 26 and pretty heavy just not huge, makes me think I won't have a chance in hell against the vets. Fuck it. No more tattoos till that goal is met.

 

[mwm5]

i compete with that ugly fucker in the gym mirror everyday. it would take me 5-10years to be stage worthy probably.

 

[*The_West*]

same as mwm5, i only compete with myself. i have no desire to get on stage, in fact i have only been training for size and definition since the start of the year. i just like to have big muscles!

 

[Just Add Muscle]

I will be competing one year from this past saturday for sure but probably do a smaller show within 6-8 months.I am hoping to break into the heavyweight class but not sure if at 5'6" I might be better off as a light heavy.I use all over the counter legal aas.

How's your blood work and lipid profile? What about your thyroid functions and hpta?? Just wondering, i'm assuming you run quite a bit of oral shit.

I run only orals usually 2-3 months on and one month off.I get blood work every 3 months or so.I have incredible genetics for not getting sick though.Except for slightly elevated liver enzymes I have never had a problem with my health.I run liv52 and Uricare and prostacare all year.Now I am starting to go with life support and cycle support from anabolic inovations.I weigh around 230 at the moment at 5'7".Will go down to around 210-215 within 6 weeks or less after doing a bit of cardio 2-3 times a week and droping calories then bulk up again.

I compete and will be competing in early november.

I voted for possibly. I have been really driven this year, on cycle and off. I am pretty much consumed with bodybuilding right now, and I am young and even if I am not a trophy winner, I would love to get on stage and do my thing. 9 months I think I could do it!

 

[DaveTSI]

i compete, but not in bodybuilding, though i am making the switch right now. I want to see where this BB stuff takes me.

5'7 at 230? you must b a fucking monster

Not very lean right now though. .I am hoping to be around 205-210 at bellow 10% when I am done.Bodyfat is around 14-16% right now.Thats the price you pay when you dont have the best genetics for staying lean and you go all out trying to put some quality muscle on.Thank fully I have been dieting and training for a long time so leaning out will be a snap.This is a picture at around 185-190 at the begining of the year.I am hoping to be 10-15 lbs heavier with lower bodyfat in 2-3 months.I have gained 40 lbs this year since late december.I am hoping 20-30 lbs of it is muscle.

My avatar is me backstage @ the 02' NPC Nationals pumping up. Been competing since 82' and won my national qualifier (NPC New Englands Overall) in 98'. I don't plan on stepping on stage again, as bodybuiling is so corrupt these days.

You must know Tito and Jose Raymond no?

 

[perryscoon]

I just like looking better than everyone else. I do not compete.

I've met Jose, but wouldn't go as far as saying I know him. While I was competing I remember him in the teenage division? Last time I saw him in person he was competing @ LW in the 00' NPC USA's.

I grew up in the town next to theirs.They were from Wakefield and I was from Saugus.Hung out with them a few times when we were in high school.They always swore up and down that they never touched anything and even their closest friends could never attest to them using.If that was the truth they had or have some very good genetics.I guess they are still competing because I did a search a while back and in 2007 shows Jose doing an NPC show.

 

[1/2man1/2god]

my friend competed against Jose @ nationals 05 and came in runner up to him. Jose won the middleweight class in 07 i think. I'm not sure if he even took his IFBB pro card this time either. he's turned it down everytime he wins.

crap amie, i tried to give you 50% karma in each post assuming it would let me, instead it said I need to try again later..soooory..

i like what you said, and how you said it. best wishes in all your endeavors.

They have always been really proud about their beliefs.This is a reason why I believe them to be natural.I know they trained like animals and stay in shape year round.

Thanks bro,I am a bit bigger than in that picture now.Just not ready to take a shirtless picture yet until the abs are out.Im a big wimp when it comes to showing the off season bulge in public lol.In a few weeks I will be ready for new ones to post though.Definetly look us up when you are in town,maybe we can go grab some seafood or something while you are here.Miami is a very fun city.

My hat goes off to you for taking the step to take it to the other level.I have many friends that compete and love going to shows and most people cant possibly fathom the hard work and dedication it takes to be up there under those lights for the whole world to see you.especially the womens competitions,it seems like women have to work twice as hard sometimes.
