What does it take? I realize bringing this up is like talking to the wind, but I’ll say it anyway.
Shawn Rodden is dead. He was 46 years old. Forty-fucking- six.
Now I know to some guys here, I might as well as say he was ninety six. 46 seems so far away. Well, I’m not going to preach to you. I’ll just say what has to be said.
Shawn Rodden had, what I believe, was the most perfect physique to ever walk on the Olympia stage. He had size, shape, density, aesthetics, definition and an ungodly amount of muscle.
But here’s the thing.
Rodden guest posed at a show 6 months after he won the Olympia and he was a fat blob. No, he wasn’t just bulking. And he wasn’t just out of shape. He was a total nothing. He had nothing -- barely the remnant of a guy who used to work out years ago. How can that be? Because the muscle was fake. It was entirely the result of steroids -- mainly Trenbolone.
This is what is so astonishing about these drugs. Shawn was the epitome of the result of what massive amounts of steroids can do . We’ve learned over the years that they can not only enhance the bodybuilding process, we’ve also learned that if you use high enough dosages of the right stuff and you have an affinity to respond to the drugs, then the training is secondary. You can work out like an average person and you’ll grow like a weed. And if you have the natural shape that Shawn had, you’ll get among the top competitors.
What it alsos proves is that even if you’re average, and you take enough Tren, you don’t have to know what you’re doing and you don’t have to train very hard, and you too will look absolutely amazing. Maybe not pro level, but more muscular than 99% of the people walking the streets. And that is incredibly appealing. And that’s what a lot of guys do.
And just like with Shawn, it’s fake. I’m calling everyone on Tren out. You’re a bunch of phonies. It isn’t real muscle. It isn’t even muscle that has been enhanced with PEDS. It’s muscle that is entirely created from PED’s and it’s every bit as temporary.
And, oh yeah...one other thing you get out of that Tren cycle. You shorten your life.
Tren was taken off the market for a reason. It’s poison. Then again, I guess night sweats, coughing, loss of breath, high blood pressure, mood swings and insomnia are perfectly normal and acceptable. I see some of the mods here telling people how to deal with those side effects. How about telling them to stop using that shit!
I know...I know...there will be those who say Shawn had other issues or that they don’t take too much or they use a good PCT or whatever. Yeah, keep telling yourself that.
Now, you don’t have to listen to me. I know I’m not mister popularity on these boards. Saying what people don’t want to hear isn’t a winning formula for making friends. But here’s the rub -- in trying to help people I’ve gotten a lot of criticism over the last 20 years. I’m used to it. It doesn’t bother me for one simple reason. In the end, I’ve been proven right. And I’m right about this.
Of course, if you’re young you’re immortal. And since I’m old I’m obviously out of touch. That’s been established. That’s the mentality. But I’m not here to defend myself. I’m here to speak my mind and hopefully reach one or two guys who still have enough sense left to listen.
So, here it is...
If you use Tren you are a fucking moron.
If you use more than a gram a week, you are a moron.
If you stay on more than 12 weeks at a time, you are a moron.
If you think you’re going to become a pro and get rich, you are a moron.
But that’s just me. I’m just a guy who fell in love with bodybuilding and spent my life becoming stronger and healthier from it and remaining young because of it. And I’ll keep espousing the true bodybuilding lifestyle until I do. I’m not anti-drug. I’m anti drug abuse. And there is too much of it. Not only among the pros, but right here.
And then there are the guys who’ve gone the other route. They take a shit ton of drugs, get big, and think they’re better. So, it’s your choice who you listen to.
I wonder what Shawn would say. I wonder if he thinks it was worth it. Maybe he does. Maybe some people reading this would make that sacrifice just to have that moment of glory.
There’s an old expression -- don’t let the tail wag the dog. Bodybuilding can enhance your life. But you still need a life. If all you have is bodybuilding then the desire for more progress and more attention will lead to taking that shortcut in order to achieve it. Then it IS your life. And that’s pretty fucking pathetic.
Take it for what it’s worth.
