Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below are they on steroids? i'm sure a lot of you guys think there tiny compared to you, or what you want to look like, but thats the look i'm going. i don't take any supps or roids, and i have been lifting 4 days a week for 6 months now. is there any way i could get the MH look without taking anything? also, are these guys ripped that much all the time, or do they just take off mad weight before shoots? thanks

since they are fitness models they keep between 6-7% year round they do cut up a week b4 photo shoots and get to 5-6%
yes, I would say most of them have juiced at one time

They may or may not have juiced at one time... They may very well be dudes who have been skinny all their lives and then ate right and bulked up a bit to become those kinds of models... Most of the guys in that mag have physiques that are defenitely attainable via hard work and proper dieting, without aid of AS.

You know what I find kinda funny is that most say that the fitness model physique is attainable through proper diet and training w/o AS but I have yet to see someone that I remember with that good of a body post their pic. Kinda makes you wonder why if it's so attainable why more guys don't have near the muscle size nor definition. Just a thought

I definitely agree bro I wasn't trying to disprove anything but Fomr the people's pics I've seen posted on most boards, they don't have anywhere near that type of body. Hell I don't yet but I am still natural though. (not by choice though)

What a coincidence
I'm NOT a model, but I dated an girl a few months ago that is one. She sent pics of me to photgraphers affiliated with certain magazines and such. We got offers at the time to do a nude session and possible a soft-core movie. I turned it down. Its not my thing.
Well just today I was contacted by another photographer that is affiliated with Men's Fitness and International Male among others and he said he's looking for tall male models with my build. I've never juiced. I will be soon. But I'm 6'6 220 8% natural. So I don't think they all juice. I'm not going to do it by the way. I'm not a poser and I would feel very wierd about posing.

I know a few guys that have been featured in Mens Health as well as some other training magazines... And let me tell you, they are not small guys.
The guy who got me into juicing was a MH cover man in 1998. He was 225lbs at 6% bf... If you think that is small for a person under 6" you are crazy... Im 5"10 at 240lbs and i really cant imagine being any bigger... And i look very comparable to those guys. So i don't think they are at all small...
I don't think its possible to get like that without juice unless you are willing to take many years to do it...

Lots of winstrol, fina, and windsprints will do the trick nicely. Believe me.
If you get paid to be in great shape I think it gives you more dedication. Not saying i'm not dedicated but I'm in college and I LOVE to go out with my boys and guzzle down a crap load of tallboys! no good for bodybuilding or being a fitness model but im not either so I might as well not kick myself in the ass for messing up and putting myself behind acouple days of training but till im being payed for my body i'll enjoy it myself not worry what everyone else thinks. I probbly sounded pretty dumd and like a little kid in that post but so be it!

i don't know this for certain, but it's my guess that those guys on the covers are full time models. That means they don't have dayjobs / school to worry about and can basically devote all their time to eating a perfect diet, working out whenever they want, do tons of cardio without having to worry about whatever... and you get my drift.
I think if any of us were in this situation and were just as devoted to working out, we'd have better bodies too.
That being said... If they men have better bodies, they get paid more. If i were in that situation, I would definitly be juicing so I'd get the most jobs I could, and make the most money.

I agree with YUM in his first few posts. I know many guys that look like MF models and they don't juice. Everyone thinks that you have to juice to get a good body. Hate to break it to you guys but some are just blessed with great genetics. I, however, am not one of those people. I have to bust my ass for gains.

I know that some do and some don't. When you look at a cover sometimes you can almost be certain which ones did or did recently. I think alot of those physiques are very attainable through strict eating/training but it takes a while - like it the majority of people cant wait until they know how to eat before using aas, nevermind eat and train strictly a few years before doing so. Ive seen a couple of those guys that look like they could have been in musclemag, not as a freak but as an aspiring one. The used to put sticks on the covers, lately in the store some guys on the cover look pretty legit imo.

I'm not embarrassed.. I'll say it: that look is the type I'm going for. It doesn't win contests, butit wins women.
And I suspect some of the juice, too, especially one MH model named Bradley Tomberlin. His physique is just too developed to be natural. Not sure about Owen McKibbin.
The irony is that MH magazine doesn't even talk about supps, let alone the roids that some of their models have used.

hey smoking hawk, I asked a question on MH's chat room about the models use AS, I think I even specified about mckibbon, several were against the mere mention of AS. an editor got on there and said the he "KNOWS" that Mckibbon and others never used. sounded funny to me. like he was trying to quiet the matter down or somehting. I used the name whiskey on there too. not meaning to call names, but they all sounded like pussies in their posts. I love the Mag. but damn, try to cover supplements more, especially AS.

i don't see what liquidex should do without steroids use, unless you have an abnormal estrogen level. Besides that i think that some models have great physique, some are just skinny dudes and i don't like them, but some (wich in my opinion juice if they are not genetic phenomenon) have a well proportioned lean body, and are not even that small. Anyhow i think the final word on the need of steroids to attain that kind of phisique is just one: You can attain decent size and even be ripped naturally, if you know how to eat and train. But the HARD androgenic look you get with as, the granite look, is not depending on bf% and size combined, it just can't be attained natural no matter what is the condition of your body. So i think the models who look best, referring to visual impact have to juice.

I met with the photo editor for mens health last year at the arnold and did some shots, most of the men are in there late 20's and early 30's, they find models everywhere, so I am sure some juice and some dont, as for their
income, the top models like Sepe make anywhere from 100-300k!

Call me a
Im actully training right now to get into Fitness Modeling. Not to sound concedied, but my girlfriend models for Elite, she is under contract and when I went to visit her in NYC, they offered to take some pics. The guy said lose about 10-15lbs and get your abs more defined and well see what we can do. Im around 215 *%bf, got a few more lbs and some more bf to go. But at 210 and 6-7% bf, I think anyone will look great. It takes alot of dedication to keep mass and stay lean. I know what your saying 6'1 210 6%bf, but that is so much bigger then most of the population. I eat my daily calories and goto bed everynight hungry it sucks, but it works.
Go for it, I would stay away from porn cuz u never know what your gonna want to do later in life.

I don't know.....fuck this whole thread. I hate hearing guys bragging about being fitness models and how many chics they pull because they lift. That's 8th grade fucking bullshit. I work out and keep getting stronger so that I can stay on the top of the food chain.

Bro are you eating people now? Is that the new T-Rex high protein diet?!?!?!?! LOL!!!!! You're hardcore bro!My opinion is this...... MH, no need for AS. MF, probably light juicing. Some people want to get HUGE. Some want MH look. Some want MF look. It's all relative and opinions. Stop flaming so much. I would swear some guys on this board are homophobes that are really closet homos. I'm not talking about you Bar Room Hero, or anyone else in particular. I just happened to reply to your quote because I thought it was funny.
Come on they are not big just cut and built. put somone on a cycle next to them and they will look like minnie mouse. i used to compete way back in the 90's natural and I looked as good as them though much shorter. Its a complete different look. And just so everyone here knows if you workout hard and diet hard you will get bigger and stronger. Some of you look at a body and say its drugs because you personally don't train hard enough or diet hard enough to see what results can be obtained with simple hard work. no offense to those of you who fit this.

i would say genetics would play a major role in attaining that physique naturally, you also have people who will not grow naturally at all but throw in a little drugs and they will blow up big time, then there are those that wont grow even on a gram of test+dboll/week, all genetics. also its much easier for shorter guyz to attain those physiques then it is for taller ones; (but chicks dig the tall boyz much more so then the short ones...lol)

Doubting (but not ruling out) AS usage by MH models
I can honestly say that if I decided to shave all my hair and get a tan, I would look like a model in Men's Health. And I have never juiced. I have experimented with prohormones lomg ago with no results (duh). But I work really hard and eat a pretty exacting diet. I also don't do cardio. I would also like to note that it took years of tweaking my diet and workouts (and a couple weeks of reading and posting on these boards--probably more influential than anything I did before) to figure out what the f*(& I was doing.
I could see where some of those models would like to party a bit and not watch what they eat, in which case the argument could be made that they do some light cycles. One other thing to note is that use of diuretics is probably much more common among fitness models than juice. Sometimes all it takes for your six-pack to come out is a couple of days of low sodium, low water intake, and a few diuretics.
I have to agree with flexed. Any serious juicer would dwarf one of those guys.

To you that can get the MF look natural, kudos on good genetics, but don't cut on people who need all the help they can get to look the way they want.
Some of us have office jobs where we are sit 9-10 hours a day.
You don't have to become a monster to use the advantages that anabolics have to offer.
And no, I don't want to spend another 5-6 years to TRY to see if I can get somewhere naturally.

I'm sorry for keeping this thread alive, but I happened to be in the magazine section of the book store today and looked at the covers of the men's health magazines and one of the dudes had a strange looking nipple and a flat spot underneath like he'd just had gyno surgery. So, at least one of them has tried sauce. I still say fuck this thread

The MF look is OK, but I look at these guys and see traps and neck development reminiscent of a woman. If looking ripped and skinny is your look, go for it. I do Cardio 6-7 times a week, but I also eat like a horse. I want the ripped lean look and also be able to maintain a 600 pound deadlift. How many MF models can dealift 600? If there isn't a cable attached to it I don't think they can lift it. (That might be a Men's Fitness rule).
