Now Jay talks about what he eats. That man has a nutritionist that gets paid more than 7K/person a year and I'm sure that is just from normal people. Now 7K not seem like a lot but think what if he has 20-30 clients. Yeah now it seems like a lot of money. They know their stuff and why they eat what they eat. Diets change left and right according to what you want to do.

Now lets talk about people's favorite subject…STEROIDS. Steroids is not some joke and it's not just injection. These guy know what they inject, how to inject, and the chemistry behind it. They get blood works left and right. They have doctor looking after them. There is Steroids, GH, Peptides, SARMs, and a billion other things. Hell even pro-hormones that are sold in supplement stores are steroids in caps(no seriously they are steroids)! If those chemicals killed them and gave them a billion problems then they would not live such a long time. Most bodybuilders live a LONG life and they look and feel great. Joints feel good, stamina, LIBIDO(even when they are 60+), sleep…everything!

Then there is why they do it. You grow to love it. I mean your changing all the time while other people still look the same or worst. You get stronger, faster, leaner, bigger. It's just amazing! You don't have to be huge to lift big(look up john inzer)…do you know how satisfying it is to lift hundreds of pounds?

Most people just respond with "What's the point of doing all this?!" which kind of is an annoying comment. Because think about it…what is the point of football, basket ball, driving 100mph, hell what is the point of giving 55 orgasm(28 was cumming and 45 of them were back-to-back) to a female? It's fun! Now the last part was about me and it might sound impassible but its not. And no, no toys or anything were used. I just treated it like workout…let get one more.

Thanks for everithing rusty

What I'm trying to say is I would have killed myself if I hadn't discovered bodybuilding, yea it takes over your life, but to me it's invaluable and everyday I'm thankful that I didn't kill myself and that I found bodybuilding. There are many many aesthetically pleasing bodybuilders such as denis sergovskiy.

So while you may not 'like' bodybuilding please remember that there are people like me out there, and when I hear someone say that bodybuilding makes their stomach sick it hurts..

Train heavy at all times, the more muscle you have on you the faster your metabolism will be. You will look younger, you will be stronger. Lifting light doesn't accomplish much.

The truth about steroids is that no one person had ever died from steroid use by itself. They likely were pre-dispositioned to have other medical issues or they had other unhealthy vices. The anti-steroid media had done a great job of BS'ing just about everyone.

True, those people in the last picture look healthy. But once you have an eye for a well-chiseled & cut physique, you can't help but notice it – or the lack of it – on people wherever you go. Like for example, if I saw those five models on the beach somewhere, I would consider the girl on the left undernourished and the guy next to him a little doughy around the pecs section. The girl way on the right appears to be masking the beginnings of a champagne stomach (or is that a little bambino coming into the picture?).

My next immediate thought would be "wow…just a little resistance training and they would look great."

Just my thoughts, but again, it's personal preference. Once you see a well-cut physique, you can never go back again.

They are intaking many kind of drugs or maybe powders to make huge body!

Life is all about choosing the middle way and moderation is always the key to real happiness.

There is no way I could do it.

Great site, you truly have a wealth of knowledge. That being said, please do not discount some of the advantages of bodybuilding. I'm 37 now but competed regionally and almost made it nationally. I did two "cycles" in my early tewnties, so for the most part I did natural bodybuilding. There is a case to be made for putting on an efficient amount of mass in your early teens to mid twenties for benefits later in life i.e. bone density, more muscle mass for fat burning, HgH release, easy recall on muscle memory, etc. I agree with you on todays movement however, the copious amounts of drugs that the early 1990s to present day National BB's consume is mind boggling, it is the reason I got out. Today I concentrate on a mixture of powerlifting, HIIT, power walking, 5k and 10k's and medium range outdoor biking. I strive to attain about 30g of protein every 3 hours with low to medium carbs and healthy fats, but I'm not a zombie or consumed by my diet like alot of people think bodybuilders are, my prep takes about 20 minutes the night before, thats it. In my opinion, the ideal physique would be a Herschel Walker or Bo Jackson type. High Sprinter type muscle, around 7 to 8% bodyfat, high cardio conditioning and above average VO2 max, you get the best of both worlds with aerobic and anaerobic condtioning. I know this could vary on each individual depending on percentage of fast and slow twitch, but just what I feel is ideal.

A little warning on HIIT, I find it one of the most effective ways to train, however it is very easy to overtrain, especially for people in thier 30's and up. After training for awhile you will develop an intuitiveness about when your body is ready for another round but on the safe side keep it 48 hours in between sessions minimum.

Rusty, I find your site intriguing and also commend on you on the time you put into this site. Also the unselfishness that you bring to the table, you truly do want people to live healthier and happy lives and I see that you have helped multitudes.
