Mo said:lol Yea, I guess I'll just give up bodybuilding and take up drinking and partying. That's the difference between you and me, a champion, and a norm - I'm a champion, I will keep winning and leave you in the dust watching me in the magazines and on TV, meanwhile you will be shaking your head eating McDonalds and talking about how unhealthy I am.... Why do you automatically assume I'm unhealthy? My blood pressure is far below the national average, so is my cholesterol. I have a healthy heart, I actually do blood tests and take supplements to keep my liver and kidneys clean. When was the last time you checked your creatnine and cholesterol levels? It's so funny how people think us bodybuilders are so stupid and in reality, we know more about anatomy, biochemistry, physiology, nutrition,and gynecology more than your average doctor. You just see a page out of your comic come to life and you automatically think that we must do something unreal and stupid to get that way. Ever try training and eating like a bodybuilder for 8-10 years?
SEE YA - WOULDN'T WANNA BE YA!
That's all very romantic to say but
1)IMHO you seem to have used drugs which are usually attached to health complications (which could not be the case but unfortunatelly this is not the only thing that could be bad for your health).
2)"Natural"* supplements are not so healthy too.
3)Moderate training for healthy people is usually health benefitial but this is not the case for competitive or "champion" levels.
Pay attention that complications don't necessarily appear right away but sometimes are a byproduct of a chronic situation and you could happen to face them years later.
And a last bit of important advice: If you haven't done allready, head to a sperm bank, check your sperm health and if its ok store some of it. You never know what happens and your path is one with statistically increased odds of complications regarding sperm health. And I hope you allready understand that sperm health could be a serious psychological and life quality issue - for some people at least.
Eventually, I understand that bodybuilding is a successfull business industry but that doesn't mean it's healthy.
Same goes for athletes of various sports.
*I put "natural" in brackets because assuming glutamine and suplement stuff like that isn't really natural. Yes, these substances exist in our body but this fact and the way you diet on them is a different question. Natural diet is considered a way of nutrition whose usage is testified by generations and comes from our direct ecosystem (eg fruits, vegetables, traditional cooking, etch)
P.S. Ancient greek quote: "Pan metron ariston"
Which means: "Excellency is measure/moderation in everything"
