Cashout hit the nail on the head. I posted this in another thread and will repeat it here.
Just my thought here in regards to today's pros:
1. It is much easier to stay in that shape when BB is your life. If you have to eat every three hours, sleep on your schedule, and workout when you have to, then it is easier than us Joes who have to work for a living and dependent on the schedules of others. Not hatin, just sayin.
2. A lot of these guys have sponsorships, so they get all the supplements (protein powders, etc.) they want.
3. When you mix so much gear and GH, etc. for long periods of time without much time off, you end up looking like Jay Cutler. If you ever meet the guy, look at his freaky hands. Sad to see, but what GH abuse does....surprised the guy can hold a pen.
4. Remember that these guys bulk big time in the offseason when gear use picks up, so they look bigger and fat as shit. Not like the Golden era. Ever seen Arnold off-season? Much smaller.
5. Also remember that these guys represent 1/10 of 1% of the genetic pool for this sport.
Many will say they knoww what pros take, but unless you watch what they do, consider it BS. I also doubt that all pros follow the same drug routines.
