natural guys basically don’t even have a lane unless it’s a strictly tested show which sucks
I get why people chase it but personally I’d rather look good and feel good than be huge and broken later on
I get where you’re coming from, but most shows are either tested or untested on purpose. Naturals can stick to natural federations and avoid that whole mess.
The “health vs stage look” thing is real. Peak conditioning for bodybuilding isn’t exactly peak health even for natty competitors
That’s why natural divisions exist though. Putting naturals against enhanced guys wouldn’t make sense at all.
Some people just care about pushing size and performance no matter what, others care about longevity. Different goals, different paths.
the stage is kind of an extreme sport version of fitness. Not really meant to represent everyday health, more like who can dial everything in the most for that one day.
