HEY NATTY - A QUESTION 4 U

[maassive]

Hey I'm interested in the thinking behind staying natty. I want to know whether or not you are natural because you are against drugs in general, or steroids in particular - and for what reason. Please post in the poll and put your comment here and let the good discussions follow

[Andrew]

I’m natural because I choose to be, no real reason it’s just the path I have decided to take.

Each to their own I say as long as it makes you happy.

people are natural coz they dnt want their balls to shrink, moods to change, dont want to experience puberty again, dnt wanna wake up middle of night with wet sheets and matress from sweat, dnt wanna f*ck their health up, dnt wanna f*ck it up even more by having to take other drugs so they dont get side effects thatll make them look like a bitch dog who just gave birth...

seriously bro what kinda question is that? and your asking it as if its not normal to be natural and that people should have some kind of explanation... a more appropriate question would be to ask why people choose to use which just got answered on this forum.

[maassive]

i disagree bro. all of what you said comes under the risks part, and not everyone chooses not to because of that.

For example, there are massive risks associated with every drug you can think of and yet a lot of people do those, but may not do steroids. I'm especially interested to hear from people who do do other drugs but not gear, and why it is that they don't do them.

[tomsammce]

not doing purely because you dont want to isnt even listed in your poll, people dont have to have to have a reason for not wanting to do it. i would hope someone who chooses to do it would have a number of reasons on the other hand.

by other drugs im assuming you mean recreational drugs, steroids are not recreational drugs technically their main purpose is for human medicinal uses and uses in animals, yes some were developed specifically for athletes but that isnt recreation.

steroids are alot worse for your long term health if comparing the most common use of them (long cycles, for long term often by uneducated users) to the most common use of recreational drugs which for most from my knowledge is pretty casual for the majority of people who have used and do use. what im saying is smoking a joint every few weeks or taking an ectacy tablet once a month is alot less commitment is done by a hell of alot more people on a regular basis and is less detrimental to you health... anyone who trys to say otherwise is kidding themselves and in fucken denial because they are doing it and telling themselves bullshit makes them, feel better

[startinfromscratch]

you forgot to add - im on grams, but im still natty.

[maassive]

you forgot to add - im on grams, but im still natty.

toms two post pretty much summed up why I am not on steroids lol, I want to be, but all the sides and risk of dealing with permanant shutdown(minimal risk I know but still a risk), prostate issues and having kids in the future has stopped me from having a proper cycle...so far

[Chemo]

I was against steroids, because I was ignorant about limitations and what is possible/realistic. What is safe and what steroids actually do or how it functions.

Education and application to my situation were a big barrier.

[Pseudonym]

Sounds like you might have a bit of bias in your polling technique, Maassive. Just slightly! You haven't even given us a "Maybe one day, but I just don't feel ready yet" option.

^ This. Tom, I find myself agreeing with you a lot lately. What's going on? :-s

[pyro]

Don't think you can really have a pole like that. You are missing many options, combo of things etc.

People new to training wanting to build a good base, learn about nutrition, techniques, lifting in general before moving to the next step.

Actually sourcing gear itself, finding decent info if you are starting from scratch and not random dribble that seems to be spread throughout the net.

Job/sports related random drug tests.

Health risks/changes people don't want to go through.

It's not as simple and clear cut as "I want to stay natural because..." People will generally have more than 1 simple reason, or in fact no reason at all.

p.s. who can hook me up :pray: lol jokes.

[mike27]

as above

i belive that you shuold have a very good base of training under ur belt 1st before considering steroids.

im not against them at all. i see it as once you have reached your genetic cieling, and exhausted all other avenues, then maybe look into it

definatly not somthing to rush into just because you cant get past a 100kg leg press!!

[Best Bench]

There was no option for someone in a drug tested sport so I had to go for "I'm a pussy"

[oldfella]

Shit poll mate. :doh:

Back to the drawing board eh?

[BarBrother]

I am also a pussy then :shifty:

I apologize in advance for my ability to follow the rules

[weener lad]

Not against them or people who use and believe they have their place but choose not to use because I like the natural thing. Also if work got wind of it I would be gone in no time due to the illegal nature of steroids. Oh don't want to hear about not being able to test for them ect, they wouldn't give a shit and even the mention of it would cause a major problem. :doh:

There are lots of ppl juiced up who look not nearly as good as you (no homo) I'm sure the question has been raised?

LOL to both my bias and to Pseudo agreeing with tom!

Yeah good point. This was a bit of a feeler to find out other reasons in any case. I've updated the poll list so that it reflects your critique. All those who are pussys may now want to revise their option

[maassive]

OK POLL HAS BEEN EDITED/UPDATED to reflect criticism.
