The above photo is Phil, my training partner !
As much as I love bodybuilding, the more I get, disappointed, following the sport.
I mean, we all know that the pros are on steroids, common knowledge.
I went to a natural show, and about 200 people showed up. I was hoping at least 500 or so, would show up, but no such luck. The people looked good, but nothing really hit me to want to follow it. My training partner, Phil and I showed our support for a guy, Matt, who trains at our gym.
To be honest, Phil could have won the whole show, with 6 weeks of dieting !
Here's my training partner, Phi Smeja, http://www.musclememory.com/show.php?a=Smeja,+Philip
The show was run by John Hansen, Natural Mr. Olympia x 2. A great guy for sure. Very nicely run, and thankfully, not to many, goofballs !!
I did see former great bodybuilding champ, Bob Gadja, looking like a mere shadow of his fomer self. I was hoping to see Iron Age MEGA poster Terry Strand, but oddly, he never showed up, and is a huge supporter of natural bodybuilding. I don't know why he was a no show ???
Wll natural bodybuilding ever amount to anything ?
In my honest opinion, NO !!!!
This is sad, but natural bodybuilding does have great potential, but potential is the expression of a possibility !!.
Why be Clark Kent, when you can be SUPERMAN !!
