Re: ABSURDITY OF MODERN BB CONTESTS


i find it rather revealing how that bbers, after they retire, scale back to a more realistic build or turn into butter balls.

Re: ABSURDITY OF MODERN BB CONTESTS


I guess that if you are not competing any more it's pretty senseless to be built that way. The body fat is really low and hard to maintain for a long period of time. Those drugs and fat burners are expensive. emoticon

That is why I respect the guys from Sandow to Larry Scott who were natural. Reeves didn't believe in bulking up and cutting routines. He trained. He did have a preparing for a contest workout and diet, but it was food and exercise. He made his own protein powder from powdered egg whites, powdered milk and soy. The only supplements were brewer's yeast, bee pollen, and wheat germ. He made his own electrolyte replenisher from lemon juice, honey and water.

All the talk on the forums today is what supplements they're taking. What fat burner is the best? I rarely go on the forum at bodybuilding.com, it's boring and pure tedium. I prefer the old training books on the Sandow site, and I'm greatly impressed with Reeves' book. Even Mike Brown has his head screwed on straight with training. I'll take any of the natural old timers over the vast majority of the bilge out there today.

Re: ABSURDITY OF MODERN BB CONTESTS


i don't make the habit of visiting bodybuilding.com forum. i do find myself visiting it and the main website on occasion. about the electrolytes, i learned in my food science class that our local city water already has all of them. no need for gatorade. it lacks in good taste though. our water that is. it's very hard. i prefer the well water, but it doesn't have all the electrolytes the city water has. but at least you can't taste the lake turning over. competition bbing is an unnatural way of living.

Well, the bodyfat levels that are today's standard's are not achievable naturally. Those guys are taking IGF-1, thyroid medications, huge amounts of GH, DNP, etc. I put the etc. down because that are the only one's I know of. I am sure there are more. It's insane, plus, to have that low of a level of bodyfat is totally unhealthy in itself. heck, there are some guys down to 1% bodyfat! That's insane!

Re: ABSURDITY OF MODERN BB CONTESTS


The low thyroid thing is interesting. I heard of female fitness competitors that claim to have low thyroid. That condition can give weight gain, the drug given for it stokes the metabolism to burn the fat. Low thyroid in women, who are more prone to get it, happens after some pregnancies or menopause. So I guess there are doctors that will give BBers the drug, under the cover that they have low thyroid, to get ripped. The drug is legal so they come in under the radar and still claim to be natural. It would be more difficult for a guy because it isn't as likely in a male, but a crooked doctor could still say they have low thyroid to justify giving the meds. Why I'm shocked that somthing like that would go on in today's BBing scene. emoticon
