    Default Why The Distinction?

    Why do we need to qualify ourselves as "natural" bodybuilders? Shouldn't all bodybuilding be drug free? The mainstream sports media completely ignores our sport. Gee, I wonder why? I've been advocating bodybuilding using only diet and exercise since 1980. The truly sick thing is, Bodybuilding.com "banned" me from their message board because I spoke out against drugs. How messed up is that?

    Natural is sitting on the couch eating chips and drinking beer.

    But welcome to Rx Muscle. Don't let BB.com's banning send you into a bitter tirade over useless terms. Natural is a wonderful goal, but why bother with the distinction? Just approach the sport in the way you see fit and let others do the same.

    If you don't mind me asking Pit, what was your health issue that made you discontinue use?

    Why the hard on against drugs? You can be anything you want to be, but you don't have to wear it like a badge. If you wear it like a badge don't get your feelings hurt when you are challenged.

    Train the way you see fit and get off your soap box.
