Why the doubt? He’s black! If this had been the pic of a white dude, people would be chanting “PHOTOSHOP, PHOTOSHOP!”
Reminds me of the late 80s bodybuilder Brian Buchanan. True wasp waist!

Who looks better, Panda or the black dude in this video?
This dude has a blend of aesthetics with thickness/density. Can’t speak of his lower body but Panda appears to have a more prevalent v-taper. I’d give it to Panda.

That’s what I’ve been thinking. Denying your not natural is not always about trying to sound more impressive. It’s illegal to take them and I don’t think most people are comfortable shouting that out on the Internet. I’d be scared that the police be knocking on my door soon. That’s espcially true with people with careers. If your a teacher and admit to taking them on a forum your principal wouldn’t be too happy with you.
The pros I guess are different somehow and idk if it’s the fame or something.[/quote]
In the US admitting drug use is a good way to get your door kicked in, an even better one is flaunting it.
Here is another clip of that black dude from above. You can see his physique more clearly. However fast forward to 9:00 if you want to see the true epitome of bodybuilding potential/superiority.

Go ahead and give it a try. However you will not look like him because YOU AREN’T HIM!
On a positive note, atleast he allocates TWO sessions/week for his lower body with an emphasis on his quads and calves. Take heed upper body whores![/quote]
Was that really necessary? I never said I expected to look like him, and moreover, just because I won’t look like him doesn’t mean I won’t see gains.

I look at it as Panda protecting his image and a career decision on his part. The IBFF pros and others who’ve admitted to using steroids seem to have very different promotional opportunities than those who compete as naturals. Also, guys who dominate natural competitions wouldn’t fare as well in untested divisions/federations.
Btw, do most threads like this turn into questioning whether or not a bodybuilder uses?

Keep in mind when a competitor presents a routine it typically represents where they are, not how they got there. I’d be more interesting in seeing programs from the previous two years as those contributed more to Panda’s build than the routine posted in the OP.
You know this guy is in the uk right? Steroids are not as much of an issue, dont think its even illegal to use them.

Makes my NSA post seem silly.
Sorry I didn’t know that, I was attempting to add to what the other gentlemen said about legal repercussions, because I think people should be careful about statements of their own or others illegal behavior.
Steroids weren’t against the rules when McGwire and Bonds were juiced to the hilt, it’s a crazy world evidently with possible retroactive consequences.

Huh I didn’t know he was British.
Well My post stands for anyone in a country where it is a controlled substance
And even in Britain admitting to steroid use probably carries a stigma. He could be saying that or maybe he is just trying to seem more impressive I don’t know. I have no idea if he’s natural or not and I don’t care. Everyone that’s saying he HAS to be could (if he is clean) be in for a rude awakening. There are freaks out there.

I didn’t know that. Roids are still illegal here but are pretty much decriminalised. You’ll get in trouble for selling them but not so much for personal use.
I can still understand why you wouldn’t want to admit it though

Selling is illegal, possession/usage is not.
I use gear, I have no problem with people using it lol.
I just think its borderline insulting when assholes like that guy not only deny it, but go on to condemn the use of steroids and blah blah blah I work so much harder than guys who use year blah blah.
You have a fucking world class physique. You worked incredibly hard for it. No one can take that away from you.
Did you use gear…fuck yes. Should anyone care…fuck no…but you’re heroic little stories of how you did it the right way is pathetic.
Own up to who you are. Man up or shut up.
Having said all that…I’d totally fuck panda.
It doesn’t take anything away from the impressive physique that he has built but using steroids and competing in natural bodybuilding is extremely weak and dishonest.
Just goes to show he is a person of zero integrity.

What happened to innocent untill proven guilty?
Seriously? everyone is bashing the guys ‘integrity’ does anyone have any proof?
Does anyone know the guy? Anyone trained with him? Anyone checked his ass?
Seems everyone throws the steroid card around when they are smaller and weaker than the person in question.
I don’t have an opinion on whether he uses or not. But his body transformation is amazing.

I’m pretty sure EVERYONE here is smaller and weaker than that guy…
Don’t be naive. Do you really think a human being can look like that wihout AAS, hormones, slin, etc?

He looks better in 2006 than many on here in all likelihood.
