Ronnie Coleman says that He don't use Steroids! Can you believe him?Markus Ruhl says, he dont use Synthol?Can you believe him?
Not only, you don't believe them but you tend to disrespect such guys, who lie!
Competitive Bodybuilding is a game of Steroids Today. Everyone has used it! Mind you-Everyone. But Nobody admits it. They keep on saying, they're natural! WTF..
This thing misguides youngsters. Youngsters have their idols in these people. After working out year after year, naturally, when they don't get PROFESSIONAL LIKE gains...they just give up...thinking that they've failed! They failed to emulate their Superstar! They don't even ponder over the fact that their so called idols failed to speak truth!
It's damn simple. If these pros openly admit that they use Roids, very few people would like to emulate them as their idols..In that case everybody would be fine working out in some gym making decent gains..if not gains like these Pros who always mislead.
As far Arnold's popularity, it's because of his exposure in Films, not by the virtue of his physique only!
Just like Stallone has decent body and more of a Ramboism associated with himself!
Dude youre missing my point. I never said i agree with them and how they lie. I completely agree with you that BB today is a game of steroids, i NEVER SAID THAT, youre making a different point. Do you know why noone admits it? $$$$$$$$$$$
Weider has and is still making a killing putting his own roided up monsters in his magazines saying alls you need to do is train hard, eat right and get enough sleep and you too can be 300lb shredded to the bone.
Secondly, its not their responsibility for coming out in the open and say "yes, i admit, i take steroids". that's these guys make a living. they eat, train, sleep and juice bodybuilding. In order to make $ to live, they must compete. In order to compete and win, they must juice...its an ongoing cycle.
You are getting into a moral arguement, saying they need to come out and state they take steroids. Why dont guys in baseball then, or the nfl? Why dont pro athletes come out and say "we like to party. we go out and drink, do drugs, get laid". because they don't have to!!!!!! they didn't make kids have them as their role model. these are people too, they happened to be great athletes, that kids want to emulate. Bottom line, they are people. They don't live their lives thinking, "wow, maybe i should be honest and tell the world i juice, then i'll quit juicing, stop getting sponsored, stop getting paid, and go around begging for donations"
It is not their responsibility!!! They owe nothing to anyone, its not their fault people look up to them.
