I’ve met dudes weaker than me who were on gear, or had used gear.
(I saw a section/tab on some site titled the article title – ergo flow write rant time)
99.9% of the time it’s the trainer who decides if they’re capable of progress or not – not their supposed “natty” status.
Years back some kid offered to sell my training partner steroids, and get this ; the wannabe dealer kid was about 6′ 170 AND admitted that what he had taken did nothing for him.
That or they got him up to a bit bigger than 170 (175? A massive 180?) & he just couldn’t maintain.
lololololololololololololol
↑ I find using those horrid three letters to be full of distaste, but it’s longhand fits here – I went with it.
We both found it hilarious, that while we both actually ate food and trained hard, this goofball had obviously missed the memo about needing to do both.
Another story :
The kid I nicknamed “weaksauce”, he once told me that the doctors said he had a hormone issue, I thought to myself “damn right you have a hormone issue, your 1rm squat is barely over bodyweight, your bench is extremely sub bodyweight, and you have the highest pitch voice I’ve ever heard on a supposedly full grown man”.
I prayed, possibly literally, that trt would help him – preferably in his mindset, it needed a huge overhaul.
Think yourself muscular. Few do so. I’m convinced you, me, everyone can. I’ll link the inspirational book quote for this, then turn this into a blue link once posted.
I believe in high human potential fuckers, don’t care who is on shit or not.
I’m going to throw out two scenarios :
If I had to choose between being the only man in the world popping dbol and pinning both my ass cheeks and quads in rotation, or being the only man in the world not popping dbol and pinning both my ass cheeks and quads in rotation…
I’d choose to be the only man in the world not on gear!
Why you ask, thank you, how kind – I’d rather have the challenge of a higher average boots on the ground level to overcome, though I am not convinced that my ranking would change much ala the first story.
I’ve long wished to know who is on ; so I can train with them…and run them into the ground with psychotic levels of volume.
Say what you will – that situation motivates me.
It is pleasing to have those on accuse you of being on. Funny, I’ve heard he now owns a gym. I train calisthenics and machines at planet fitness. Obviously we’re no longer lifting (if what I do at pf even qualifies to meet this definition – do machines count? – they don’t to the “hardcore?”) at the same place.
Ah, the days of 50-100 missed pulls ; “damn dude, you don’t quit do you” – nope not I.
At pf I only get accused of good genetics.
Third story :
I once returned the sleeve of a barbell (that had followed the last 45 off – quality gym floor mishap if ever there was one) to the dude at desk, a Rich Piana lookalike if ever I’ve seen one in proportion and tats, though not skin tone and hair color…I! Pissed! Him! Off! Somehow! (stepped behind the desk to return the rest of the sleeveless barbell, whoops crossed a BIG line it seemed) and 300lbs of tatted up sleeved out juiced out bodybuilder HAD to been having weird coming off of cycle effects – he yelled using the mannerisms of a woman, his voice cracked, and he came very close to, if not tearing up. – I apologized (sorta), “just returning the rest of the bar, didn’t mean to invade your space”, and backed away holding in a giggle while thinking to myself “if that’s what coming off of a cycle is – reason #159728 to never use shit”.
Three different gyms – it’s up to you reader to place which to what.
Your options, as usual no real names :
•commercial gym hell/old commercial gym
•gym floor that’s half felons (guest pass)
•gym job group interview chain (guest pass)
•commercial gym chain with octagonal plates (guest pass, vaguely describes the above listing without other details)
•”hardcore?”/powerlifting? gym
•SoCal bodybuilding gym
•hole in wall place (guest passes)
•pf
And this could be a hint, or a misdirection – the biggest dude I’ve ever seen working front desk was at pf.
