Bodybuilders don’t diet. They eat a lot and I mean a lot. If you’ve ever watched Arnold Schwarzenegger’s videos on what he ate to exercise, you’d be so surprised how long he exercise. 5 hours a day!!!
Dreams mean nothing. Only physical hard work and actual results on a weight scale mean everything. By no means are any bodybuilder a schizophrenic who is taking anti-psychotic medication.
That looks 100% steroids. He has lots of veins on his abdomen.
That picture was taken in 2019 when he was 71 years old. He may have taken some supplements but I highly doubt that steroids contributed to that muscle pose. Looking at that picture, I’d say Schwarzenegger was at 8%-9% body fat.
Everybody is different, I’ve always exercised, even on aps, right now I’m stuck at 260lbs on latuda 120mg, no matter how hard I work, no loss, I have to be on strict diets from hyper thyroid and gout. I was down to 238 lbs on abilify. Every pdoc says it’s not the meds, I call bs. But I love exercise, all this extra weight won’t stop me. And I agree, you may not look like a body builder, but you can be better, always. Try anaerobic exercise.

I was 200lb on Abilify, now I am 290lb on Risperdal as I am not able to exercise, 0 motivation. On Abilify I was going to the gym everyday with friends for 2hrs.
Can you switch to another ap? The no motivation side of aps are harsh.

I have tried Latuda, Abilify, Risperdal, Wellbutrin and Zyprexa, only Abilify didn’t give me 0 motivation. Here in Canada we don’t have many aps choices. There is much more in the US but at least healthcare is free. Also my psychiatrist got mad bcz I tried too many meds, he told me to stop playing with my meds and to stick to what I am on now.
I use to look like this 3 years ago now I’m fat and hating it but it took me two years of lifting 5x5 and as heavy as I can for 5 reps honestly one year I was plateauing and the next I tried 5x5 and bam strength and muscles came in …

Not a good idea to post social media names here bcz anyone can access it and sometimes pictures appear in google search. Maybe you can just remove the names.
It’s my old account I don’t mind unless it’s not allowed

yeah that body is definitely only achievable with steroids. I follow a lot fitness youtubers and I have gotten very good at spotting physiques that are natural and those that are not natural. I think america has a big misconception about what is achievable naturally vs what people on steroids look like. People that take steroids and claim to be natty only are deceiving young people and Americans in general what is natural vs PED’s.
I hate to burst your bubble but swartzneggar has admitted to taking steroids and I can guarantee you he is on some level of steroids if not TRT. Little known fact TRT is also a steroid but in lower amounts , it’s just a amount that would be far less than what steroid users take. I would guess that a TRT protocol would look something like 150mg a week of testosterone cypionate, which is a steroid. To achieve a bodybuilder physique, you would have to take anywhere from 300mg of testosterone to 2000mg of testosterone which body builders usually cycle on and off from. Also there are are other chemical compounds that are abused by bodybuilders such as trenbolone, which I think is only used in live stock and horses.

Just a reminder peeps that condoning drug use isn’t cool. Keep within the boundaries of the forum so guides or how to guides really aren’t acceptable.

I wasn’t suggesting anyone take steroids or TRT. I just simply was explaining how it works. I don’t condone anyone to use steroids or start TRT without talking with their doctor first.

That doesn’t look good. Looks gross
Well when we all reach 71 years old we’ll all look just as good as Schwarzenegger.
The terminator looks good in the young one. He should totally rethink those muscles at his age. Time to quit using steroids. Don’t you think?
