Mark Anderson preparing for Nabba Universe

[mr natural]

yeah well most people don't know any better i guess so they probably brought it.ps steroids are evil you don't need them to win mr universe!

[samoan_muscle]

what a wanker this guy is,he was just on tv saying he's all natural and you don't need steroids they are bad ect... tosser!

Lol...classic...I don't know too many bbers that would publicly admit that they are on gear... :shock: :shock: :shock:

I deny it to most people that I don't know...especially randoms who come up out of the blue and ask :^o

i agree with what your saying but just don't go and say they are really bad and you don't need em ect... when you have just shot up that morning.thats what annoyed me.

Yeah nah...i wouldnt completely bag gear...just wouldnt admit it 8) 8) 8)

[mr natural]

yeah most young turkies that come up and ask about it get told they don't need it and should try training properly and eating enough protein ect,later on if they have half a brain and seem level headed enough and it maybe worth them trying it then i would tell them to do there research and make up there own mind.

Apart from a possible few white lies I thought that interview was pretty good.

I’ve meet Mark before and he’s a hell of a nice guy who’s well spoken.. I think he’s a great asset to NZ bodybuilding and will represent us well.

[Pseudonym]

I don't think you could do a serious interview with a bodybuilder without bringing up the topic of steroids - particularly if they've acknowledged using them in the past. And in some ways, I don't think it matters how the question is answered, as everyone will have already formed their own opinions, and being such a polarising topic, nothing will convince them otherwise anyway.

I thought Mark came across as articulate and committed - and not too narcissistic! It seems like at last the bodybuilding community is starting to get some good press.

[michaelk]

well i presume mark would give permisson for them to screen it wouldn't he!?

there could be a million and one reasons why he might not want to comment right?

so what do you suggest?

I've been interviewed quite a few times on tv and for print and never signed or been asked to sign a release for media.

We're not the All Blacks here, the moment we start to try and dictate terms the interview is over, and that does nothing to promote our sport or our sponsors to the public. And we're all aware of the funding issues of the past few years, we need all the exposure and marketing we can get if we are fighting for sponsors dollars off other lower level (not cricket, rugby, netball, league) sports.

I think when guys like Mark go on TV and present the sport as well and articulate as he did - he makes all us muscleheads look good.

[mr natural]

tv wants the story,then it should be on his terms. They just want to spice it up and make it more risk-a by asking about steriods.

i find it soo funny that all you dudes that use it, are so asshamed of addmiting u take it.

it sucks in the fact that guys who do the sport naturally( fully laggit ,no gear) dont get any graditude for ther hard work because guys like you's stand there and deny speding hundeds of $$$ a month and make yourself look like that, and it makes it look like we (non users) just don't train as hard!!

dont get me wrong i dont have anything against guys that use, but i think the fact you misslead any1 that is interested in the sport to thinking that you can get to the top (or anywere close) without using is ..........well its like your sayin your ashamed of wot real bodybuildings is all about.

just my two cents worth :oops:

well i certainly don't do that, who are you refering too?

steroids are over rated in the fact that people think they are a magic pill and once you take it you will be automaticly huge,sorry but it doesn't work like that, it take years. they simply mean that you will make better consistant gains if you follow the correct bodybuilding life style over time as opposed to being natural which can mean you may never have enough testosterone to create much of an anabolic enviroment in the body to create much protein synthisis( muscle growth)

they are overated like i said that they are meant to be a magic pill-not so.

i know the in's and out's of roids, i know they not a magic pill etc.

and im not pointing finger at any1 person, but just generally 'most users' will deny that they do it and i think its sad that they misslead others making them think they have got to where they are naturally.

i guess a big reason that users hide fact of using is that what 'outsiders'(everyday joe bloggs) have been told about roids, ie that steroids can make your package shrink.

(i mean fair enough ,what guy would want to let that rumour spread about them)?!! :oops:

[2guns]

i find it soo funny that all you dudes that use it, are so asshamed of addmiting u take it.

i dont do this, i dont give a f*ck :pfft:

ill tell anyone whos in the bodybuilding communtiy wat im taking at any given time, i just dnt care wat they think... coz most of the time they are on it too.

the only time i 'lie' and say im not is at the gym and other places to non bodybuilders for the reason they dnt know jackshit bout the stuff. and when im out clubbing/on the town with my mates, coz u know girls dnt needa know that, and chatting girls up is all about telling them wat they wanna hear and they probably dont want to hear i use gear so its no big deal telling them i dont coz its proabbly wat they wanna hear anyway... get my drift? :pfft:

at the end of the day there are plenty of bull shitters out ther so wats one more?

wells thats the other reason they are overated,they have a bum rap from guys that have abused them for years ect....side effects blah blah blah, users saying how bad they are and how they fuk you up(ie Mark Anderson say they are bad ect...)

anything taken in to higher doses for to long is not good,ie food,oxygen,water... get the drift.?

[2guns]

its all just a crock of shit, wat did everyone expect???

end of story

[samoan_muscle]

Full agree with 2guns and Mr. Natty on all of the above...

I am completely open about my use to other bodybuilders or most people in the gym...

Only when asked by a complete stranger out on the street do I deny it...none of their business really and they are usually only asking because they are fucking nosy and want make themselves feel better...and cos they are fat and overweight and usually a bunch of try-hard mother fuckers

[Delpreet]

cos they are fat and overweight and usually a bunch of try-hard mother fuckers

lol :pfft:

Man, your honesty is awesome.

True story - a guy and his training partner were watching Warren Ah Fook train at the gym the other day, and he says to his mate, "Pfft.. if I took steroids, I'd look like that too" (training partner's all: "yeah same, hardout, yeah")
