"Female X"

Now, I know this is not my best work - but I wanted to get another post on my blog.  All of the following is true. (Although I know the way I wrote it, it may be hard to follow.)
Anyway, the athletes in the magazines that many people look up to are NOT what they seem.

Remember, I’m not condemning athletes for using drugs. I just want to give my readers what is really going on behind the glossy photos that are in the magazines. Here is a list of the “basic” drugs pro bodybuilders use just to get in shape!


*Trenbolone acetate *Cytomel *Testosterone Enanthate, Cypionate

*Insulin *Lasix (day of show) *Winstrol V

*Oxandrolone *Lisinopril *Clenbuterol

*Nolvadex *HGH *IGF-1

*Nandrolone Decanoate *Dianabol *Arimidex

(This is just a partial list. I don’t want to bore you every drug used or abused.)

This “Female X” was a bodybuilding friend / acquaintance of mine, that I met while I worked with a major supplement company. She used many (most) of the drugs above. These are just some of the drugs that most of the athletes use that you see on the covers of the magazines.

“Female X” and I became friends through a mutual friend who himself almost earned his pro card twice as well. We will call him "Ray". I have no idea whatever happened to him. He got fired from his job and the magazine that he had wrote a column. "Ray’s" “regular” employer let him go as well. After "Ray" placed 2nd in a national show we talked many times and even worked out together. When I was talking to him about what improvements he needed to make, all he blamed it on was, “I ran out of growth hormone man”. It was not his training, not his diet, but his drugs!

So… let’s get back to “Female X”. She had recently placed in the top 3 several times in National bodybuilding shows. She was running HGH, Testosterone propionate, Trenbolone, Clenbuterol, Cytomel, Nolvadex, Arimidex, and Winny V. (I cannot remember the rest).

She called me the night before one of her pro qualifier competitions. I asked her how she was feeling and how she looked. She informed me that she just got a shot of lasix. Since lasix is the most powerful diuretic, and can flatten you out - aside from the fact that she could cramp up terribly; I asked her how lasix had worked for her in the past. She stated that this was her first time using it! The night before the show! So here she is, a seasoned bodybuilder, taking advice from some “drug-guru” the night before a show that could have won her a pro card. She ended up looking like crap, not even placing in this pro qualifier after being in the top 3 in her previous competitions. She has since turned pro winning a different pro qualifier National show. I guess she got her pre-contest drug regimen down.

My main reason for writing this brief piece was to demonstrate just how uneducated many of the bodybuilders that you see everyday in the magazines are. They don’t have a secret or train harder than you. They just have fantastic genetics and utilize a truckload of pharmaceuticals… PERIOD!!

Now remember – this has nothing to do with you reaching your OWN potential. Keep hitting the weights smart and hard!!

(Let the chemical giants do their own thing.)
