so what would be a natural section?

the way I see it this is a natural site with a steroid sub forum.

I agree with frocko I view this site as a natural bodybuilding forum with a steroid sub forum.

In regards to people having a label as to whether they use gear or not I think alot of people that do use won't admit it just for the simple fact that steroid use without a prescription is illegal in NZ.

I am proud to be a steroid user.

As you should Boostinggtir. Physique guys are the pinnacle of bodybuilding. No one looked at Arnie and thought he was a tosser back then as I think most bodybuilders did it.

Each to their own is my feeling. I certainly don't look down on anyone.

I may have missed out on a couple of places at comps in the past because of the other competitor using some enhancement, but unless there is testing, I don't have a thing to moan about, so don't. If there isn't testing a user has every right to be there. Certainly otherwise what would be the point other than being "huge".

However users should not necessarily be open about it as it is illegal (I know, generalising), but please, stay away from the Natural Comps, testing or no testing. It's about being true to yourself I reckon.

I'm just happy doing what I am doing and as proven, can do comp after comp and still be ok.

Thanks guys

And I'm proud you're all proud, but this wasn't about the merits of natural versus "enhanced" bodybuilding. It was about having a separate forum for Natural Bodybuilding.

Given the poll results, and for the concerns I outlined above, I've chosen to go with the label solution rather than the forum. So here's how it works...

If you go to Forum Tools > User Control Panel > Profile, you'll see a new option.

Steroid use:

If you wish to indicate whether you have used steroids or prohormones, this will help other members put your messages into context.

The default setting is just blank, but if you want to change it, the appropriate label ("Natural bodybuilder" or "Enhanced bodybuilder") will appear beside each of your posts - as it is on mine. To remove either label, simply reset the option to blank again.

Finally, the juiced-guy-calling-himself-natural-for-a-laugh joke got old years ago, so please don't. If that's you, just leave the setting blank, and spend your energy on a better joke instead.

Fantastic approach!

I for one have a great deal of respect for guys who decide to take gear and compete. As for the ones who do and don't compete I have no real comment on that, each to their own.

I'm sure those of us who partake in these forums will show the 'enhanced' guys the respect they deserve for being upfront and honest about their situation.

I'm sure I'm repeating much of the sentiment already put forth on this board about Steroid use by saying that it's had way to much bashing in the media. That appalling 'Illegal' documentary that was screened recently just wasn't worth the air time. It's just that type of sensationalist, tabloid, unsubstantiated attention grabbing rubbish (under the guise of investigative journalism) that puts us Bodybuilders (of all types) into disrepute in the public's eyes.

My two cents worth.

Sorry to bring up an old subject, but I just had a moment of clarity.

I never realized that a side effect of steroid use was delusions of being natural, now I understand why no one seems to be able to tell. I certainly understand that there are legal concerns with "coming out" but have some balls (if it isn't too late) and certainly don't set your status as Natural Bodybuilder, just leave it blank.

You trying to start a war on this thread? :roll: I never realized that a side effect of being all natural is the delusional preaching and ranting that is constantly bought up in this dumbarse crusade to justify someones own arrogant opinions against people on steroids. I also got it in my head somehow about those not coming out due to reasons over legal concerns(Some of these peeps on gear dont really give a fark mate about legal concerns or anything else for that matter..they are who they are..)have no balls..(easy to say when your sitting safe behind your computer)...and certainly dont set your status as Nautral Bodybuilder...(Yep..ur the next Natural Bodybuilding Aryan spokesperson)....maybe we should have some lie detectors added on to test people if they are lying about being natural or not. :roll:

Seems I have struck a nerve, or something.

Not crusading, and pretty sure my opinions (or parts of them) are shared by others as well. As for sitting behind my computer, this is an internet forum so its somewhat essential. The only reason I brought it up again was the post regarding the new junior and the tack in which people seem to have to use to tip toe around the topic, just say what you think... doesn't seem to be a problem for any other topic.
