Ok, so the reason i’m posting this is because I recently saw a picture and thread of a bodybuilder who is a few weeks out from a pro bodybuilding contest.
This thread had over 3 pages of discussion on how amazing this guy looks - a total beast!
I looked at the pictures and simpy shook my head.
A guy with huge arms, huge chest, huge shoulders, huge lats, huge legs… And huge waist.. Oh.. but the waist is small compared to a lot of pro’s.. And that makes it absoultely fine!?
In my honest opinion, a champion bodybuilder is a guy who would not look out of place as a greek god statue. The kind of guy you’d look at and think he had perfect lines, perfect symmetry, strong as a bull, yet fast as a cat.
When I see most pro bodybuilders of today.. I think they look like they could eat mcdonalds dry, or would do well in a food eating contest, or play the role of a mutant in a horror movie.. Oh yeah, and could lift a lot of heavy stuff.
Symmetry, lines, small waists, and broad shoulders.
Clothed and every day life you’d think of someone like Frank Zane to bevery athletic and had nice shape. Posed up and shirtless, you’d think he was a god.
Some where down the line we have lost the ‘greek god’ like look and have adopted the ‘comic book’ over exaggerated style of physique.

Just thought I would express myself on this topic, and write how I feel right now. There isnt a better feeling than being natural and knowing you’re doing the best thing for your body by staying off the drugs whether it be roids, or even alcohol. Knowing that I am drug free and have been drug free for about 3 years now makes me proud. I spend most of my time in the gym and I love it. It makes me feel better than anything in this world..besides my lovely wife. When I know I am making progress, and hear people tell me "Man, you look great", it really does make me feel great, and to know I am doing this all by myself without roids and things on that level, it makes me feel even greater. I have so much respect for those who have built their bodies the right way, the positive way. Being drug free is an accomplishment, and for those who are, much respect, and take it all the way!
