look at the top pros who you are talking about, all of them are true genetic freaks but they also live and breathe bodybuilding but earn very good money doing so!!! because of this they can commit to this lifestyle much more and have less ties.

how many of the british guys have this same situation?

also, considering the UK is about the same size as 1-2 american states (of which they have 52) they obviously have a bigger gene pool... we have daz ball, zak kahn (ok he dont quite get his condition right) and a few others who could make good heavyweight pros... so make our gene pool 25x bigger and you have alot of top guys.

plus if you look at the us athletes earning their pro cards from amatuer level - they are all a loooong way from the elite that your talking about and much closer to the uk guys.... so again i put this down to the top pros have the funds and the lifestyle to achive what they need to!

also, alot of the top US guys started out very young because they were involved in sports like american football and encouraged to lift weights to improve their performance.. so they start training with weights at 13-14 year old rather than say 18-19 like alot of the uk guys!

there's the answer in black and white. it's got didley to do with drugs. btw, some of the biggest pro's ever weren't american. europe has provided more than it's fair share, even little ol' britain has had some monsters grow up here.
