I feel natural bodybuilders are BB who use whey, multivits, maybe a bit of creatine... glutamine... etc, products that occur naturally that they would get from food sources ...

That's pretty much my description of myself.
 
new to posting

Im 35 yrs old and small compared to most of you guys, only 156lbs but I have a thyroid disorder that makes it hard to gain mass. Ive been lifting pretty hard for about 5yrs and started at 133lbs. I dont think that is to bad. Protien powders do not work for me, egg whites , steak , and chicken , no or very little bread. I am currently taking PUMP TECH and I love it . The only thing better is andro which Ive only taken once right before it went off the market . Does this mean Im not natural? I dont know all of my measurements , but this is what I do know. Im 5ft 5inches tall my waist is 29 inches , thighs are 23&3qtrs , arms calves & neck all measure 17inches . Is this good ? Please reply . Im about to leave for the gym Ill try to get the rest of my measurements and a picture to post. Maybe some of you real bodybuilders can help and incourage me.

As to whether you're natural, that's a matter of opinion. Personally, natural means that you eat food for your nutrients and don't take any kind of steroids or anything else that gives you an unfair advantage. Now, I take a multivitamin and I also have flax oil capsules that I take, but I still consider myself natural - if I were to go off of these, I would not lose anything I've gained.

17" arms for a guy that's 5'5"? That's pretty darn big to me, especially considering that I'm 5'11" with 15" arms (I don't train for size but still).

Oh, I was going to take even more measurements just as a reference of my progress (and yes I realize that with strength training I won't become huge, but that's not what I'm trying to document), and I was wondering where exactly you're supposed to measure the thighs at. Is it just at the largest part or what? Stupid question probably, but it's been bugging me.

17 cold natural....not pumped is huge for a 5'5'' man.....esp if you are 10% bodyfat or less
Thighs should be 25+ to be in proportion....Relaxed normal chest should be around 46.

you must have a moderate to high body fat.
 
For those who maintain general fitness and are not into competetive bodybuilding, vitamins and protein powders are sufficient supplements
 
Only use protein powder and viatmins. I've stayed away from creatine for two reasons. 1. Don't like the way people on it tend to get a ballooned up look 2. I personally feel like I'm cheating. No need for you creatine users to argue back, it's just an opinion for me personally.
 
lol @ cheating

cheating who? the only person you can cheat in a competition against your own self, IS yourself.

btw.. creatine is found in red meat. Guess your a cheater :/

A distinction can be made between natural and OTC (over the counter) bodybuilders. I would consider a natural bodybuilder one that uses nothing more than food, and maybe protein powders/vitamins. I consider an OTC bodybuilder one that used only supplements that are legal for sale in any health food store. Most people that call themselves "naturals," are really OTC's.

Good point,how mush fish would we have to eat if there weren't proteins to buy!

Respect,

We all take steroids?, you eat beef, and eggs don't you. Well every pound of beef in this country is steroid fed, to make them grow faster. Chickens are fed steroids to enhance egg laying. Steroids are used in all agricultural applications. So you don't think this trickles down?.
Well when I was a kid a 6' sixteen year old was a freak. Now you have 6' 14 year olds by the dozen, wonder why. It sure ain't McDonald's, or then just maybe it is. We live in a fucked up country, where people will feed you anything to kill you, just to make a buck. quote by spam 40


maybe i should go through the drive thru at mcdonalds maybe i can hope to get some steroids and still be considerd natural im mean ive seen them inject the steriod in the chicken in the back i wonder why the burgers there are so damn small and the chicken tenders are so damn big have you seen them i hate false advetisement in the picture on # 4 the burger looks bigger than the chicken tenders hes right about mcdonalds having a fuckd up services

When you say natural...??

I doubt tom has never used aas or ph/s's

So many will claim they haven't since they became banned but they are full of sh%t. If you are a competitive natural bodybuilder I doubt you can call yourself truly natural if your definition is using nothing more than protein powder and vitamins. 99.9% of legit competitive naturals are OTC bodybuilders.

If you believe the top "Natural" Bodybuilders are not using steroids and/or GH then I have a bridge to sell you.
 
Natural

I consider myself a natural I am chairman of the BNBF and live a drug free lifestyle.

The issues you have brought up make it difficult to determin what is natural I am always getting e-mails about whether or not a supplement is allowed. If they have to ask dont take it that is how I have been for the last 17 years of training. I stick to supplements that are called what they are and generally are related to food ie creatine is abundant in red meat red wine and some fish so I dont think it is unnatural.

Although I take on board your point about foods we eat but that is something we cant really control unless always eating organic and then you could argue that chemicals will be in the air the rain it could go on forever.

You are a natural bodybuilder if you dont take steriods GH Insulin IGF1 prohormones etc.

Only my opinion

Vicky
 
I'm natural: no protein supplements, no creatine, nothing. Not that I don't want to supplement my training with protein shakes/bars, it's just that I can't afford it.

It is working out pretty well at the moment. See my sig for my goals. I am going to attempt to achieve them while maintaing the no-supplement path.

If ya wanna get serious, a pure natural bodybuilder would eat free-range meat, organic foods, take no supps at all, drink water from a mountain spring with no chemical pollutants nearby, he/she would lift stones and deadlift logs(no manufactured weights) etc.etc.

Oh and he/she wouldn't be able to breath our air due to all the pollutants.

thats retarded...
