Hamdullah Aykutlu ALWAYS came in shredded to the bone. Look at many 80’s and 90’s bodybuilders, even the very large ones. They came in shredded, with drug use.
Believe it or not, Doug won the overall today at the Gaspari Pro! Took the heavyweight class and then beat Moji Oluwa, who easily brought his all time best, in the overall.

yes. And he has my buddy completely convinced too…
The way they wax poetically about the evil of steroids is utterly annoying.
Hard work, it’s all hard work…
And the right supplements from his sponsor…that too
Moji was the captain of the Nigerian weightlifting team in the Atlanta Olympics. He’s got a tremendous background and has been training for decades. Not hard to believe he’s natural

Moji looks good but doesn’t give anything that makes me think he HAS to be using. Totally could be, but he’s a manlet I think and not that heavy, seems like he’s just genetically has some good Quads which makes him stand out against most natties who get ‘stringy’ in the wheels.

I want to believe (as I mentioned before) however; I’ve been around weightlifters my whole life (national, European and World level) and rarely are they natural at the top level, certainly not at the Olympic level. I do know one teenage European champion who was clean when he won silver at the European championships.
Never made it any further though and this kid was a genetic marvel. Did a full snatch with 165lbs the first day he walked into the gym. Weighed a buck 25 soaking wet.
But, I do want to believe. The smug attitude towards steroids though is what makes me doubt. True naturals never seem to talk about it that way…
I very, very much admire the hard work and decades of dedication though. He’s meticulous and knowledgeable. Nice guy too, very well liked.

Olympic athletes in the '90s were natural?
Obviously plenty of Olympic athletes have/do use PEDs. I’m just saying he’s been dedicated his life to the sport for a long time. As Spidey said, nothing about his physique screams “not natty.” Man, not even worth discussing natural bodybuilding on this forum. No one can achieve a pro caliber physique without using…thanks guys, got it

Really? What, exactly, would he have to look like for you to say he HAS to be using? You guys are starting to sound like Professor X around here. THERE IS NO NATURAL LIMIT YOU GUYZ!!!

Cool story bro.[/quote]

I just thought that was a lame justification for believing/claiming he’s natural, whether he is or not. To be honest, the fact that he was an Olympic-caliber weight lifter is actually further evidence that he is assisted, rather than the other way around, at least in my opinion.
I think you’d have more respect for these guys if you were actually involved in the sport and had met many of them. People who scream out “can’t be natural” at the sight of nearly any IFPA pro have almost certainly never competed themselves

Seriously? I’ve been to multiple shows and expos, and I HAVE seen a ton of incredible physiques in person. Where did ‘respect’ come in anyway? I respect the hell out of anyone who competes in iron sports, whether it’s bodybuilding, powerlifting strongman, raw or geared, tested or non-tested. I live for this stuff, man.
We’re also not talking about ‘nearly any IFPA pro’. We’re talking about 2 guys here. I’ve definitely seen some monster physiques that I believe are natural. I believe Stu’s natural, and he looks incredible.
But thanks for pulling the ‘you don’t compete so you don’t know’ card. That’s super classy.
