Sorry to hear you are not pleased with your contest experience.

If you are a natural competitor, you should ditch the NPC and look at either the NANBF/INBF(for a WNBF card route) or the OCB (for...

I do not doubt that one must exhibit both size and conditioning in the NPC/IFBB. I have seen those athletes large and shredded before. What I was trying to illustrate was this:

At a...

At the risk of being called a swimmer, let me give my .02 worth. I will speak about natural bodybuilding from a WNBF standpoint, as that is the pro organization I am most familar with and aspire to...

I drink over 1/2 gallon per day during the offseason. Historically speaking, I scale that back during the diet.

To get back onto topic...

I just looked at the www.naafa.org site that was posted. Holy cow. It gives some perspective though. When you look at that site, and then a site like this, you can really...

This thread has gone the way of the flame-fest. LOL.

If you want to look at a teen bodybuilder who represents the opposite of everything you are asserting, here you go: take a look at a kid named...

I take back what I said about you being tall. At 140 pounds, you have to be short. I guessed heavier because you are very, very ectomorphic. Based on that observation, I assumed you to be taller....

A few things:

1) As we generally compare ourselves to the norms of society, I believe that we are indeed well above average regarding our attitudes towards fitness and a healthy lifestyle. I agree...

agreed. People can not hold sub 4% fat year round...and even if you could, you sure as hell would not be making any gains in the gym.

Its not so much about people understanding what we do or even that we care if they do. I think we are all just saying that its nice to be able to relate to others around here and share war stories....

After reading Crystals post...I am sure its even more difficult for females. Factor the pressure society places on them to look a certain way with what the judges want and that makes for a difficult...

Talk about timing. So I got into this very same conversation tonight with a female friend of mine. We were discussing why I am single at the moment. She told me I need to, and I qoute "need to loosen...

You have to grow to love this part of the sport. If you are constantly being put on the defensive all that does is make you ultimately question what you are doing. I think this is a big reason that...

I like to think that all of our NANBF shows are clean, but the reality is that as long as our sport exists, people will try to and sometimes succeed at cheating. it is unfortunate, but a fact of...

Just wanted to say good luck at the show Craig. You look great. be sure to post up some pics from the show along with the placements. I know of a couple of other WNBF guys who will be there. Should...

Drugged up pros can do what they want...they have the luxury of cheating because they use powerful drugs lke T3 or Clen.

As natural comptitors we(myslef included) do not have that luxury. If you...

If you want to tell yourself that one meal or a few hotdogs or burgers will not negatively effect you, then so be it. But any true competitor will tell you differently. That is a surefire way to get...

What I would do? LOL. I would go with a cooler of precooked food and just act like part of the group. Try to have fun. If some idiot wants to start ripping me, I would try to be diplomatic about it,...

Plan a show a year in advance. Train for it, idet for it, prep it and kick butt. If you put a half ass effort into the prep process, you look like hell on stage and get beat badly. The most dedicated...

I just grill up a chicken breast. Bake a sweet potato/yam. and drink water. easy.
