Mr.Steroid aka Mr.Olympia

Barry

You know, body building has always been full of people with odd ideas and so desperate to achieve an impressive physique that they will follow any training regime no matter how insane, take any supplement no matter how useless, and yes... even take steroids.

Infact it's so bad that the image of body building is one that in order to get anywhere it's commonly thought that you must take steroids, must have a ton of supplements, must train six days weekly, must train for hours.

Mainly the likes of the weirdo Weider's are to blame for the current status, but so are many supplement companies and built-with-drugs top body builders like Schwarzenegger etc etc. Indeed is there a Mr.Olympia that has not taken steroids?

Why not call Mr.Olympia ... Mr.Steroid may as well really, no need to be restrained, I also don't think any of the online forums are doing the sport any good by having dedicated Steroid forum's can we not lose them or at least make them come with a visible health warning and appropriate ridicule message?

Come on let's boycott the drug taking cheats and help promote body building in a better light, one of health and natural muscle gains through sensible training and nutrition at least on this site anyway.

No offence Barry, but Like it or lump, steroids are part of pro bodybuilding, the guys wouldnt be able to get that size without using them, calling them cheats is wrong, because steroids are part of professional bodybuilding, just like taking a protein shake is, you wouldnt be able to win something like Olympia now a days without using roidssteroids are part of serious bodybuilding, deal with it

Barry

No offence taken 1981Neil, I differ in opinion with you and feel that while almost all who take part in competitive bodybuilding are using steroids or have done, you can rest assured that some never have and never will.

Go ahead and use steroids if you wish, but to promote the idea that you must use steroids is morally wrong.

Yes, to win Mr.Olympia you must use steroids to compete with the other steroid users, which is why I suggested it be renamed Mr.Steroid

Calling them cheats is NOT wrong, it's very accurate, what would an athelete caught using steroids be called?

If you wish to emulate and have druggies as idols so be it, it would be good if they were stripped of every title they won since starting to take steroids (including Schwarzenegger) because frankly once they start using steroids they don't deserve them and should be outcasted IMHO, I'm not the only one to think like this either...

Protein shakes are not in the same league as drugs, not even remotely.

I can deal with it, pity and disgust go a long way.

So do you think The Strongest Man In The World Competition should be renamed too? The Biggest Juicer In The World? They all use roidspeople like Hugo Girard, Magnus Samuelsson the ones you see on TV

Barry

Sure why not

You think non-steroid takers are weak or something? No idea if all power and weightlifters are into steroids thesedays, when I was 15 my local gym wasn't a bodybuilding one, it was full of weightlifters, some competed, did not know of anyone using or advocating using steroids though...

do i think mr olympia should be re-named mr steroids?................NO!
do i think your a ****?.....................YES!

No-one forces you to watch or follow pro-bodybuilding, so if you dont like it dont follow it! simple!
Pro bodybuilders have dedicated their lives to bodybuilding, its not as simple as injecting and sitting back watching yourself turn into a 250lb freak.
And what a sad little man you must be to want to boycott forums because they have steroid sections!

tommy04

oh yeah and i forgot............. die! :chainsaw: :chainsaw: :chainsaw:

Little?? LOL that's an assumption. Surprised you could spell **** really, do they actually teach that word in kindergarden nowadays too. Feel free to take as many steroids as you like pal, if your little willy shrivels up I will laugh and and say... see, told ya

Guys, life's too short to argue about if a steroid user is morally wrong or right.

IMHO, no athlete should be banned for utilising ANY compound - it would definately make the 100 metres sprints more interesting!!!

Barry

Well that's true mate, but it comes a bit much when you get 16-17 year old's who are seriously considering using gear and when the general public think all bodybuilders must be using them.

Thought the topic would awaken the forums abit as its been quiet on here for a few days
