For you guys out there, do you know or have known powerlifters who compete TESTED, but in the off-season hop on a cycle (whatever that maybe)?
Guy in my gym I was talking to is a Dutch national chamption (tested) but he was telling me that before he did that meet, he would run cycles of test in his off season. Honestly, it didnt bother me.
But, just curous, any of you guys know anyone in the same situation?
You’re asking the wrong questions. Is this Crime Stoppers?
Obviously there are people who compete tested and take drugs in the offseason, as well as meet prep and right through the meet. If you know someone who does that and they trust you enough to tell you and you turn around and broadcast that online then you sound like a big snitch. If these people openly admit to anyone and everyone what they are doing then I don’t see why they would compete tested in the first place.
People are going to cheat. If you want to compete then either accept that you might lose to someone who cheated by taking drugs, or just take drugs yourself so there is no injustice to complain about.
Running cycles in untested Fed’s is fine
Doing so in tested makes you a cheat. Now doing so in a Fed that market itself as 100% drug free makes one a bitch.
Anyways, I am probably going to go the untested route soon. I want to know that I lost doing everything I could. I can live with not winning if I knew I did everything possible, including enhancements. In a tested fed, there is always that possibility that you didnt make podium because someone was brave enough, risky enough to juice up and take the plunge. There is always that doubt in a natural fed and I am not sure I could mentally deal with that long term without driving myself crazy.
In a society with laws, some people break them. Your thoughts?
It honestly blows my mind how wrapped up you are about using steroids to win a local name. Your handle is “weightliftingwithoutlimits” and here you have severely limited yourself.
