Check out "natural org.'s" they list what they'd test for.Typically they take urine sample as soon as you get off stage for 1st place,but I've seen em take sample from anyone they suspect of use of non permitted substance's.They also Polygraph,which is nonsense,as Ive never seen anyone,or heard of them failing this "you pay for it" screening.Normal is all else ,i.e.;NPC has Natural Comps and Normal Comps . Hope that helps Bro..

natural shows server several purposes, some official some just me thinking here... one, they're a huge dog and pony show to keep WADA's undies out of a bunch, they can feel like they're making a difference. Two, if for some reason a lower level competitor decides they don't want to use juice, and they don't want to compete on a stage where generally speaking, steroids are a known common factor they can enter a natural show. Three, at a higher level it limits the number of compounds that a competitor can use, and I'm not sure what real good that does, I guess it makes some people feel better. Four, if it doesn't come out in the contest piss test, it won't come out in the work, state, or other piss tests you may have to take, and you can openly tell groups like your employer(s), parole officer, etc. that you are *only competing naturally.* Five, if you're a young competitor, natural shows go over better with parents and family members that are funding your habits until you get out on your own. And, of course, last but not least, six, it gives the self righteous dicks of the bodybuilding world that think that "juice is evil" somewhere to put their soap boxes without looking ridiculous.

A famous natural bodybuilder once told me that natural is just passing the test.
With that said however I think a lot of people who criticize natural bodybuilders for using gear don't have the dedication and discipline to do what it takes to look like that in the first place. I can't tell you how many times I've heard "Jeez Data I wish I could eat like you ... I don't know how you do it" I feel like yelling to them that I want pizza just as bad as everyone else. I just choose to say no. The majority of people who look bad at a juicer in the gym is just jealous cause he doesn't have what it takes to eat the same 6 meals a day for 12 weeks, 6 months, 5 years. So when I look at a picture of Skip LaCour and he looks unreal I think a couple things to myself. First the guy probably hasn't missed a meal in 10 years (were talking back in like 2000) and I've seen him train and his level of intensity is insane. Second, hell if I hired a professional photographer who knows all about lights, angle, and shading ... took 500 pics of me I bet that 3-4 pictures I'd probably looked jacked. I'm not saying his natural or not, its really none of my business, but regardless I have to think of my story about lazy fuckers who don't have the dedication - pointing to others who have a great physique - and stating STEROIDS - as if the 5 years of 6 meals/day + hours at the gym and on the treadmill have no value. When someone who busts their ass in the gym doing it naturally and making slow gains says to me that steroids are cheating I can at least respect their comments cause they are busting their ass. But when a lazy bodybuilder who misses meals says STEROIDS I get a little offended. Anyways I'm just ranting. |
