It is incredible to me how much steroids have become a part of Bodybuilding, Fitness models and even the sporadic attending gym jock are all users in one level or another. It is not difficult to spot the puffy pointy nipples on guy that result from steroid use. And some competitions claim to be natural, yet they neither test nor do they really want to curb the use of such drugs. Follow the money. The sport can attract better audiences with bigger and better physiques. So why really try!

Well there is one exception to this rule, International Natural Bodybuilding & Fitness Federation (www.inbf.net). These guys are serious. You use, you lose. You can check it out for yourself and see what the stringent levels of checking and protection to insure their contests are drug free. Even legal stuff that are prohormones available at your local GNC are OUT! And by the way, YOU WILL BE TESTED, PERIOD!

So without drugs you might expect that the physiques to be more similar to the 60's bodybuilder. (By the most in that day could not pass the INBF standards). Not So. Check out Jim Cordova, the 2007 winner of the top Contest.

Is Jim's Back Definition short of amazing?

 

Over Christmas break, I had the honor to meet Jim, the 2007 winner of World competition in natural bodybuilding. Okay let me say, he does not weigh as much as the pro's that step on stage at the Mr. O or Arnold Classic. But then again Jim is every bit as ripped. Yes you heard me right, RIPPED. The level of definition on Jim is nothing short of amazing. His diet coach and friend, Dr. Joe Klemzewski, (better know as the Diet Doc), has helped Jim fine tune his diet to bring a level of crispness that is superior to many bodybuilder using steroid cutting agents. And without the drugs, Jim has that classic miniscule waist that magnifies the size of massive back, shoulders and arms. Jim may be the most balanced symmetrical and proportioned bodybuilder of this day.

Jim is a quiet shy person with few words. The day I met him he was training another and I had little opportunity to talk much. I can say that Jim terrific genetics, a necessary ingredient to competing and winning at this level. And of course, Jim trains like a maniac to produce such incredible results. Not to mention his diet takes him to the next level.

This back is freaky and veiny. I can vouch for it being naturual.

How can a guy weighing 40lbs less than me look so much better and bigger? Okay age does have something to do with it.

If you have ever contemplated using growth enhancing drugs or steroids, take if from Jim, your potential can be reached Naturally.

As you have heard me say repeatedly, Sweat Hardens to Muscle. There are no shortcuts to developing your potential. It is in gym, 4-6 days per weeks pushing the envelop of intensity. It is denying yourself the indulgent foods that produce fat and enjoying the foods that recover, repair and build muscle.

Are you willing? If so then push it, nail it, win it. A natural competition awaits you.
