Does Natural Bodybuilding Truly Exist?
For the competitive bodybuilder the answer lies within the rules of the sanctioning organization that he or she competes in. ALWAYS CHECK THE BANNED SUBSTANCES LIST FOR THE COMPETITION AND OR SANCTIONING BODY THAT YOU ARE COMPETING IN! If you meet the requirements of the sanctioning body (recognized group or authority that sanctions and validates competitions) then you can consider yourself to be “natural”. On the other hand, many events are not drug tested at all. If you know in advance that you are competing in a non-tested event and then loose to someone that you believe to be an enhanced athlete, you have no right to complain. You chose to compete under those conditions. A natural bodybuilder must understand and respect their own genetic limitations. It is important that our physique goals be reasonable and obtainable. If your goal is to eventually look like an Olympia contender, than you need to find a black market pharmacist and start looking over your shoulder. I have spoken wit
