There's a lad on myprotein.co.uk forums who is a clean amateur bodybuilder and he said they use lie detectors for such purposes, as well as the very strict drug testing regimen.
lol, sorry to burst the bubble but they use lie detector test and screening only in Natural bodybuilding shows. Mr Olympia-Night of the Champions etc are all drug test free. Amateur shows are not screened unless it is a natural show... why else would they have a natural bodybuilding show if there was no steroids in bodybuilding? i have read emails and articles from pros about what they used, seen first hand from an ex Mr South Britain what he did to get into contest shape and get to the size he was.
You're not bursting any bubbles with bodybuilders using steroids. As far as I understood Ad was talking about Strongman comp and the natural bodybuilders
ahhh gotcha! crossed wires! my mistake!! natural bodybuilding is pretty much drug free, just not that interesting to watch...
since when is any bodybuilding interesting to watch? except maybe for the "OH GROSS LOOK AT THE VEINS BULGING OUT SICK" factor
That phrase is so true. I was on here for a couple of years, obssesed with fighting and never once ventured into this section! Finding weight training even more addictive now!
i've been into weight lifting since i was 13 and i used to love watching powerlifting on Eurosport or Strongman. I do find watching bodybuilding shows a bit on the boring side but you have to take your cap off to the freaks who go where no man should go in terms of size and health risks. good to know there are other members who weight train here
Yes lots of big men! There starting to worry about me at work, I've just printed this off Big Food Or maybe its because I don't actually work anymore......
love that site while we are talking about foods, ive got a bit of a problem at the moment. my girlfriend has just started lifting properly (its SO cute :love: ) but has almost no protein in her diet. she doesnt like meat (bar chicken), fish or even cottage cheese is there any other good natural source of protein as she doesnt have the cash for a proper whey supplement at the moment.
Maybe her boyfreind could buy her some whey protein? I don't really know much about veggie diets, but soya meat or those quorn meals
she isnt a veggie, just really unadventurous with food. i would love to buy her some whey but i have about £20 a week for the none essentials in life at the moment (rest goes on course fees, food, travel, books etc) so can barely afford my own whey. plus she puts going out for meals etc above training nutrition. i thought of peanut butter but its like 30% protein, 20% carbs, 50% fat. and to get the proper amounts of protein she'd have to eat it by the bucket
Turkey, Chicken, Lentils, Nuts, Beans, Eggs, Most Dairy, Kangaroo, Beef, Lamb, Pork, Oats, Rice, Humous, Ostrich, Salmon, Mackerel, Shark, Swordfish, Prawns, Tuna, Crab, Wheat germ, .... ... and there's always that other good natural source of protein boyfriends usually try and feed to their girls as often as possible Edit: Hey Taekwondo Guy, what's with the creatine hating going on under your user-name? Creatine is da BomB!
i stick to turkey/chicken and tuna for proetin sources... and a whey shake after a workout and just before bed
Yeah, I was actually referring to a natural BB comp when I mentioned the lie detector tests. I also never said that none of the strongmen are on juice, but you never know if they are or not. It is likely, but you can never say for definite.
When you look at the pic of Jesse Marunde, compared to the two guys at either side of him he looks much smaller. Legs and arms are half the size of theirs. If he used AAs you'd think he'd be bigger, being the world no 2
Not necessarily, Dominic Filiou was something like 402lbs and lost to Marius, a lot of Strongman is fitness and technique. And painkillers
