MS why have you not use AAS

[Realgains]

Just wondering why you have decided not to use juice....health reasons......wish to avoid androgenic sides....?? and do you think you will ever do a mild safer non17aa roid like oral primo?

Just curious ...and I respect your decision BTW.......being a natural trainee is not only much harder but takes more smarts as well.

I have recently attempted to aquire a decent anavar cycle (unsuccessfully!), but I'm now glad I was unsuccessful. I am as big as I want to be. Some days I feel too big....for instance I can no longer rock climb at a top level (but age has a play in that too). I simply do not need the drugs to achieve any of my current goals. In fact, I am now actively 'down sizing' (sacrilege I know).

Most of all I do not believe in taking drugs that I don't need. I am here for the long haul. As such, I scrutinize everything I put in my body and ask myself daily "is this beneficial to my long term health and happiness?" It should be obvious that I will never be a world class bodybuilder if I am always putting my health first and foremost, but since I hate dieting to low bodyfat levels I think this is a good thing!

As a small matter of semantics, I did not decide to NOT juice- not juiced is the default. It takes a decicion TO juice, as well as money and connections and possible legal ramifications. For these reasons I suspect that juicing is often harder than not juicing. I don't worry about getting bogus gear, lipid or liver problems, androgenic sides, getting busted, how much to take, to taper or not, to inject or not, to tell my friends and family or not, am I losing hair or not, is my voice getting deeper, or is that just a cold coming on etc.......I just eat, sleep, train and grow.

MS,

NB sent me some pics of you. Given even an optimal diet and training program, most women would need some level of chemical assistance to achieve your level of muscularity and definition. In fact, I know of some that have not even achieved what you have, despite some chemical assistance, a sound diet and intense training program.

I'd bet quit a bit on the fact that if we could match your myostatin gene up to that of the average females', you have a mutation and it is also altering your leptin sensitivity in a positive manner.

Just another example of how we are not all created equal, not even close.

Hmmm, interesting Wilson6. It just so happens that I have access to some PCR primers to test my own myostatin gene However, I feel obliged to point out that bodybuilding is as much about illusion as anything else, and in those photos that I suspect you're referring to, I was only 56kg at 5'5". Hardly massive. I'll be the loudest person to admit that getting that extra bit lean makes you look a lot bigger. But I confess that I have always been muscular and relatively lean and, not surprisingly, good at sports where a high strength to weight ratio is an advantage. I would also be the first to admit that genetics plays a big role in most things. However, if you'd met my family (typical American obese couch spuds) you would never have picked that one of us would get into bodybuilding! The only difference that I know of between me and the rest of my blobby family is that I made a concious decision when I was a teenager to NEVER end up like them. This is the most important message to get across.....You may think your genetics suck and that you can never achieve a decent physique, but until you put in the hard hours you won't know for sure.

This is also why I am hesitant to ever say of someone else's physique that they have definitely juiced. The most I would ever say is that it is 'likely', or that they COULD be a genetic anomaly. There must be women out there with the right combo of IGF, myostatin, GNBeta3, leptin genes etc..., who have high-normal test levels and low-normal estrogen levels but still appear female. After all, I see gender as more of a continuum than an absolute black or white characteristic. Thank god i don't have a hairy face LOL. But since most women who get into bodybuilding these days are pretty quick to jump into AAS, the chances are pretty slim of finding a truly natural, huge, ripped female. I certainly can't maintain a ripped look in the off season. And I'm definitely not huge!!!!
