Try Lifting Naturally for Once

Caught up with the old lads today and invariably the topic turned to gear (drugs not lifting suits!). The consensus was that it's just plain shitty working your ass off for a total then find some ass-hole juiced to the gills with hosepipe vascularity comes out and blows you away.

Now don't misunderstand me, that very same lifter may be working hard but the undeniable fact is that the asshole took a short cut. Essentially they couldn't push through the hard yards to realise gains the natural way.

Despite this I wear my natural status and crappy total as a badge of honour because I am damn happy to be lifting healthy. Though I still struggle to comprehend so many taking this unnatural route so early in their career. I think the young guys that gear do it for the insecurity and the laziness. I mean flogging away day in day out for 15 kgs on your total takes resilience. Much simpler to take D-Bol, test  etc and keep the big gains coming.

Perhaps for me the worst part of it is the duplicity, the fact that may don't come out and say they are on the gear. If you have the balls to take it then have the balls to step up and admit you take the gear because you can't cut it naturally.

I have seen plenty of guys recently that have gone down this path and frankly it's good to know I can look them in the eye and they can see how little I think of them.

Now the question comes up why don't I train in a natural fed, well because in my area they are poorly supported with few competitions. I'd much rather be the anomaly amongst a sea of common cheating halfwits.

In fact it's not even the illegality, for me it's far more about the mental laziness of those that go down this route so early. The smug self assuredness of those that achieve a result for which they are not wholly responsible.

As my older masters friend pointed out, few if any of his peers from those days that geared are in any state to lift or give back to the sport now.

Therefore I am content that many of you gearing and taking false accolades now will be watching from the sidelines in twenty years while I will still be on the platform in my sixties.

You will be in the crowd, perhaps with several torn pecs fucked up backs and chronically low test. Maybe you will just be a fat fuck. Either way I'll be there watching and I will recognise you and maybe even ask you if it was all worth it.


Stay Strong
