So........ THIS.... is the power... of natural bodybuilding....
So........ THIS.... is the power... of natural bodybuilding
what a weird """sport."""" The only thing that makes it worthwhile is the abuse of anabolics... that way it's a bit of a freak show instead of a pageant...
What exactly is the point of bodybuilding competitions anyway?
I feel like there are several non BB guys at every gym I go to that look better than every natural BB stage picture I see
Yeah, but these guys lose a ton of mass to cut down to sub-8% bf. Every natty would look like this at that level.
I think the concept is neat since it’s a combination of skill as basically an artist sculpting the human body and lots of hard work and discipline. But the reality is retarded amounts of steroids and mental illness. It’s a shame really.
natty's can't sculpt though, there is no way. i laugh my ass off when in a random youtube video will say to a natty "oh you need a bit more medial delt and lower lat" when in reality, the natty... if he could add more delt and lats... fucking would have years ago. there is no sculpting for the natty, there is only getting as massive as you possible can, then dieting down and hope you have great genetics to look proportional.
only when drugs are introduced is there "sculpting" like an art piece.
I agree. That’s why i said in concept it’s a neat idea but the reality is sad. It’s a shame that it can only be accomplished with that amount of roids. I do think the current scene is way too roided out though. It’s a freak show that I can’t look away from. On one hand I want them to keep going and see exactly how far they can get. On the other I feel sorry for them because they all have some sort of mental illness to do that to themselves.
Reminder that peak skin color is tan sand nigger
Stay jelly
DELET THIS
why do they all have shit forearms? everytime i see a natty bodybuilder they all have shitty forearms
i wonder what pro-level bodybuilding will be like in 2050
>not looking like an anime character
how do you even workout forearms beside boxing?
Here's your answer.
BISCUIT OLIVER
Are you retarded. Boxing doesn't do jack shit for your forearms. Heavy pulling movements make them grow.
Nick looks good here though. Most of the guys here do.
No, they don't. They're tiny.
Guy in the middle is absolutely MOGGING everyone with his vacuum.
Piana approves
He got second to the lanklet on his right
wrist curls
wrist roller
preacher curls
I disagree.
that's like saying you can't target arms and make then disproportionately large.
protip: you can.
it'll look retarded, but you can.
just like how starting strength nattie faggots have huge legs and a pathetic upper body.
SNAKE Bodybuilding will change the fucking scene.
dude that "tall" white bearded guy isnt even vaccuming tho
This is why bodybuilding isnt a sport but a gay show.
test
vacuuming is foor boomers
If they weren't trying to maintain roider's bodyfat % while not roiding they'd look miles better and have a higher quality of life in general.
that's not sculpting, it's literally just realizing noob gains and having weirdo genetics that give you huge random body parts in relation to others.
and trust me, a random internet user, that natties don't have time "not" to train something to its fullest extent except PERHAPS the traps, since it can make you look not as wide.
look at Jow Forums spokesman gymcel alphadestiny. dude is at his actual peak, he tried to do two 2-hour arm workouts for like 3 months and didn't see a cm increase.
Still bigger than you :)
Contest conditions require single digit bf. You cannot be that lean and look big as a natural.
You can still have a great body as a natural
Oh look the daily roid junkie thread made by a guy that can't remember the last time he got an erection
>inb4 yo mama joke grow up
I think the point is that as a natural, you cannot get too big. There's no managing this or that part of the body, you just train everything and hope for the best.
You can of course target some part, but you'll only get it to the end stage a bit faster than the rest. Even if you could make some part disproportionately large (I'm not quite sure you can natty, given that the body prefers to grow as a whole, but let's say you can) that's not the same as a roider targeting, it's closer to you neglecting everything else.
interesting.
yea, i'd agree with that. I guess I misunderstood what he meant.
you're right, the natties with massive arms usually just have underdeveloped everything else so it just gives the illusion of overdeveloped arms
towel grip chin ups, rock climbing grip pull ups, unironically deadlifts, and preacher curls too
Post body
Let's see how big your are at their body fat.
Wow people with sub 10% bodyfat look small without roids??!!?!?
natural bodybuilders should compete at 10-12% desu
this just looks like a joke, they cut down to around what, 150-160 pounds? thats what you weigh as an adolescent
Who do you call biscuit?
>implying third from left doesn't look good
Post upper body
let me tell you a secret bro, literally anyone better than these guys is roiding in secret u gullible fool
ITT: retards who don't understand just how cut these guys get for stage day and how much better than the best natty Jow Forumsizen they are two weeks before and two weeks after competition.
most of these guys are on the sauce anyway
Oh no no no no..
Jokes on you.
I have great body genetics and huge fucking delts
Shame about my face though
You are sort of right in the sense that natty people can't just put on mass wherever they want but the next time they bulk and cut they could work those areas harder while bulking than other areas to work out the proportions better. They do have some control
it's nothing like being an awoke cheater like me
>i wonder what pro-level bodybuilding will be like in 2050
It's going to be like indycar or nascar, someone is going to have to impose some limits somehow. There is no reason an indy type car can not have 2000 hp but they had to limit that shit somehow. Soon people will be able to have 80lbs of muscle in their pecs if they want and "who can build the most muscle" will just be a bunch of dying people on stage weighing 400lbs who look like they have huge slabs of beef growing all over their bodies
why do these guys look worse than BBers from the pre steroid era?
I would say 6 is looking pretty close to that
When I see posts like this one I wonder just how bad the body dysmorphia goes for some users.
Yes, you won't become enormous, but you make it sound like being natty is a dead end with no results that makes it impossible to go past the results seen in that picture.
For fuck's sake, there's high school jocks with bodies more visually pleasing than that and with an arguably more "sculpted" look, doesn't mean literally every person that looks halfway decent is on roids.
These competitions have goals that are VERY far from the conventional idea of "Looking good", which is why they require taking a shitload of roids just to end up looking like shit anyway.
You've deluded yourself in thinking it's impossible to look built without roids, and that no part of your body can go beyond noob gains without them.
android mode on the left
Screening for my perfect boyfriend :3
If that were the case, all of Jow Forums would have ripped forearms
idgi
he should have 4 dicks he can jerk off simultaneously and blow a massive 4 dick load on his enemies for his fatality
Agreed guy in the middle unironically looks fantastic, natty or not.
Ever notice there are no niggers in natural bodybuilding competitions? You'd think they'd want to show off their superior genetics haha
At least they ain't fat. That's literally enough for 99% of people to live a fucking life.
imagine being this retarded
Hes right though. Natty body building is retarded. Nothing wrong with anyone participating but it really is pretty stupid compared to the monsters that make up the real body builders.
Okay fat ass.
I'd watch any sport that doesn't limit it's contestants. Let the pro body building scene go forward with no restraint. I want to see what these freaks can do.
Is that the best natty bodybuilders have? Calisthenics Chads rise up
That's a tranny and it's not natural
man goro looks anatomically FUCKED
he should have 2 more pecs to even think about moving the lower two arms kek
This. Why wouldn't natural competitions introduce different criteria for judging?
He's natty and a father. I can tell because he looks DYEL with a shirt on.
Thats him? Damn.
It's all done with hormones and CGI
They look malnourished
I had a buddy the other day try to tell me that Arnold Schwarzenegger was natty, at least in his early days. When we got into it about steroids, and i told him honest body builders look like OP's pic, the dude acted like I insulted his mother. Of course he had suddenly gotten into great shape a while back, real muscular, etc. Tried to tell me you just need the right protein powder.
Roids have fucked up our society's concept of the ideal natural male body. When we see a natty bb, we think "whats wrong woth that scrawny dude." Lol
Arnold said he never used roids to build muscle, only to cut with minimal. But he also said we should cut down on the meat, so fuck him
Minimal muscle loss*
It's wasn't really roids, it was (((Joe Weider))) who intentionally promoted that image as the ideal (alongside the ideal of men having huge pecs rather than huge back and shoulders). The existence of roid physiques doesn't automatically lead to their acceptance as some sort of gold standards, that's a cultural process
Why are they all painted brown?
It looks really awkward.
>Arnold said he never used roids to build muscle
Lol I'm sure
Surely Arnold would never lie to us, right?
Why not huge pecs, back, and shoulders? Why not huge fucking everything?
How can you be sure Chris Heria isn't natty? He's way too flexible and strong to be frauding.
protip: they're on roids
Huge pecs aren't aesthetic because of the larger surface area, it distracts from shoulders, which should be visually dominant
Are these high level competitions?
Why don't they match this guy ?
Was what's-his-name pre-Arnold aesthetic dude on gear?
middle guy has a nice big frame, he should definitely hop on roids as he would become massive
I find it hilarious when people think they can get magically bigger by lifting weights and that bodyweight training and HIT cardio is useless for building muscle, when in reality what is useless for building muscle is natty training.
Look at the lats, pecs and arms of the dudes in that photo, those guys all lift weights, and despite that they look smaller than a lot of calisthenics athletes while being fatter.
pic related, some poor ass fucking slav mogs them all to death and does not lift ANY weights LMAO
>Arnold said he never used roids to build muscle
Golly then it must be true.
The body dysmorphia is society wide at this point. We as men are so fucked in the head, we don't have a concept of our own self image independent of impossible roastie fantasies. Young guys trade decades off their future life expectancy to bang shallow gold digging twitter thot's. The roasties have us so mentally fucked up, they've owned us in the divorce courts, they've owned us in media and education, and now they've even owned us inside our own heads. It's a massive societal female shit test run rampant as sexual selection, to the point where the juice from our own balls isn't enough to satiate their shallow vain fantasies. And then the guys that buy into it and inject steroids are called Chads.
this is what the average "calisthenics don't build muscle" poster looks like at their peak with 5y of training
if that guy cut to same bf level he'd look just as shit
Imagine having twelve balls
the slav is leaner and has rock hard 6 pack abs all year long though, you must be blind, dudes in the OP look way fatter and some of them don't even have abs on stage LMAO
So you are basically saying "roids get results", regardless of training type, right?
>hehe look at this roider who is bigger than these natties
Wow, what a fucking surprise
so you are basically saying that anyone that looks better than dyel skeletons is on roids, regardless of training and genetics, right?
keep coping, your body doesn't give a shit what type of training you're doing, so you might as well do the most fun and least injury prone one that can be done for F R E E.
they dont have abs cause they're doing vacuum, your slav is not leaner, he is working his muscles in the pic, once he starts posing you'll realise he is fatter, also no legs on slav guy, cant see the muscles cause there is fat
They don't match him cause the bodybuilding stage is a very very unflattering environment. All the little faults in the physique are on display. For example, look at Jeff Seid's pics on stage versus on his insta. It's like it's not even the same dude. All those natty bb'ers probably look very nice on their best photo's and definitaly look like they lift irl.
Exactly.
The body doesn't care what type of training you're doing when you're on roids, which is why you see roidcels doing 10kg curls with 20inch biceps.
I am genuinely asking if that's your point.
>they dont have abs cause they're doing vacuum
pic related is the only one that's actually stage lean, look at the size of his arms and lats and pecs
>You're not the boss of me now!
>when you're on roids
this is where you're wrong, those guys in the OP all look unimpressive except for one who isn't even that goo, and ALL of them without exception got their bodies from lifting weights.
If you think you can't look better than that from calisthenics you're already a lost cause.
>which is why you see roidcels doing 10kg curls with 20inch biceps.
and you see natties with big arms who do ridiculously low load training for arms as well, so what's your point?
it isn't, my point is that roids are literally a GYM culture thing, not a calisthenics one, it's at the gym wher epeople first hear about roids or try them at or obtain them in, people think that going ot the gym is magically gonna make them jacked when in reality it's just that roids are prevelant in almost all gyms, that's what makes the difference.
So if you're planning on being natty you might as well not pay a kike a gym membership.
