    I mostly care about strength. However, adding some bulk is good as well. I want to look big, but not body builder big.

    I want to look like there are softballs just under my taught skin everywhere a major muscle should be....sausage links under the skin at my abs. Oh, and add some 3/8 tubing in certain areas for vascularity.

    Bodybuilder, but defintely love strength. The stronger I am, the better bodybuilder I can be. Strength simply furthers my ability as a bodybuilder.

    Bodybuilder, But Take Pride in Strength. Started working out for both looks and strength. Was tired of being a scrawny weakling. Also, working towards becoming a Fitness Trainer now.
    But when you disarm them, you at once offend them by showing that you distrust them, either for cowardice or for want of loyalty, and either of these opinions breeds hatred against you.

    There is whats called a "powerbuilder," like Ronnie Coleman, someone who lifts HEAVY but has a bodybuilders diet.

    I dont go under 275 for reps now on the bent over rows, and I love to see improvement there.

    "Yaaaaaaaaaaa BUDDY". This exactly what i'm workin on.

    For a long while i was concerned with getting hte best pump, usually using lighter weights/higher reps w/ perfect form.

    Now, i realize i gotta go heavy to get big....

    I do not plan on using PH's or steroids no.

    Natural is the safest and most effective way to go, if you ask me. I can't risk losing my hair or having my balls shriven up, just not for me, lol.

    Not only that, but I feel more pride in myself when I accomplish things without unnatural assisstance. I would feel like I'm cheating myself if I took drugs to enhance my strength.

    Part of the purpose of lifting is to maintain good health. I don't think taking steroids is very healthy. Plus, I hear the you lose some strength when you stop taking them.

    Yeah, I agree CowPimp, definitely. Even though making regular gains natural is much much harder than making gains with PH's or anabolics, it's still worth it to keep your health, live longer, etc.

    That depends on how they're used.

    That's why I said, "part of the puporse..." Also, you have to take steroids forever to maintain all those gains. I'm sure public myths exacerbate the problem, but I still prefer natural bodybuilding. I'm sure taking steroids is not good for you, although it may not be terrible.

    Anabolics are definitely not good for you, they shut down your body's natural horomone production temporarily, there is nothing good about that, at all. Maybe taking steroids is not any worse than smoking pot, or getting drunk on a regular basis... but none of those things are healthy either.
