Inside Bodybuilding ...Past and Present
I really am beginning to become fuming about steroids UK use in bodybuilding and it's just like having haemorrhoids. Everywhere you look or read reading the sport you just keep seeing articles about poor physique standards and the use of UK steroids even worse is the attention being paid to the professional contests judging results.
From a personal perspective I can say with out a doubt that over the past few decades I have indeed witnessed enormous changes throughout bodybuilding contests and I have noticed how the standards have increased for both finalists and winners. I can say with my hand on my heart that my sport has begun an evolution that was previously unknown and you can read about it on theis steroids blog.
I myself have always had my own personal opinion on who should or shouldn't have won a particular competition, although I would never have the courage to take on the role of actually judging others as a profession.
So with that my further comments are meant in no way to criticise any of those brave guys who chose to sit on the judging panels. I realise the pressure they must be under as their own opinions can either make or break the competitor's careers, advertising deals, sponsorships and even the rest of their lives. Just imagine what Arnold might be doing now if he hadn't taken soo much Dianabol and won competitive events during his youth.
To be quite frank with you I am not really sure what the exact percentage of bodybuilders is that train with the sole objective of competing in physique contests. I am pretty sure it is a very small amount as the majority of bodybuilders will have varying alternative targets from rehab, to just getting better in their chosen major sport. Many will just want to get fitter or stronger or just improve their own physique standard, gain or lose weight, as well as just adding some muscle.
Arnold was an exception to the rule as he knew from his very first squat and dead lift that he wanted to become the world's best bodybuilding champion. The normal guy in the gym bodybuilder these types of physique contests are something that figures in the very backs of their mind and probably get really pissed off with their over coverage in the muscle mags. In fact if you look around most gyms there is probably only one guy who is suitable for this type of competition even if it only is only at local level.
