Why do we come down on natural and pro bodybuilders?

[Immortal Juicer]

I think it is hypocritical for us to talk shit about these guys because they choose to take more steroids than we do. its their personal decision, they had personal doctors monitoring their health, and they get paid for competing and winning.

Hell, pro bodybuilders may look at guys like us and think we are dumb for paying top dollar for dirty veterinarian versions of deca and test. And we take these drugs just because we want to get bigger. We dont compete, we dont get paid, we dont take them under doctor supervision, we just take it for the hell of it.

We get pissed when some natural guy at the gym talks shit about "roid heads", yet we trun around and do the same thing to pros. Most people think we are "have to be shooting up", and they would never want to look like us. Then we assume pros are lying about their doses and that they all take 10 grams worth of shit a week.

"Bodybuilders" are natural guys in the gym doing the latest Mens Health workout and starting their first "cycle" of creating, pros training with Charles Glass and taking gh and insulin under doctors supervision are essentially after the same thing, training hard to get more muscle, less fat and greater strength.

We just happen to fall somewhere in the middle.

Anyone with the discipline and dedication to be a bodybuilder has earned my respect.

Um, ok.


I really don't know where you are getting this, because I have never heard any EF member come down on someone for choosing to be natural.

As far as pros go, the only thing they get bashed for is not being as symmetrical as the better pro. Nothing negative is really said other than with all the shit they take they will probably not live past 55. LOL

sorry, not coming down on naturals altogether, but we do get pissed when natural bodybuilders refer to us as "roid heads" taking the easy way etc... We know that is bullshit. But then we turn around and come down on pros because they use more gear than we do even though its usually under doctor supervision. kinda like an everyone driving slower than you is holding up traffic and everyone driving faster than you is a maniac thing.

When you say "WE".. I don't think you can really generalize that the MAJORITY of AS users feel like this.

Thing is, whenever you are talking about a group of people having something in common, there will ALWAYS be a few indiviuals who feel the need to put down people that AREN'T like them.

I think that's the case here, and its the case everywhere.


But the majority of us here are good people that get bashed way more than they bash others for being different.

"The easy way out"; I've always liked that one myself.

If were such an easy way out, then we would all jump on the gear, sit around in our homes watching football, and see the gains just pile on. Yah, that's what we do right?

At least that's what I do. I mean, repping 500 on my deads and squats...there's no work involved there. Telling yourself that its just a cramp (er, um, torn rotator cuff) in order to get through a chest workout...piece of cake (mmmmmm, cake).

If that's the easy way out, point me in the direction of the hard way, because its likely to include the insertion of broken glass into one's anus prior to juggling 200lb. dumbells while riding a wild bull, standing on your head.

To say that we are taking the easy way out is to say that it is easier to push yourself for a mile in a wheel-barro, than to drive 100 miles in a car. It gets you closer to where you want to be, but it is a much harder ride.
