Natural Bodybuilding? Natty or Not? | Stick to Fitness EP 22
In Episode 22 of the Stick to Fitness podcast, hosts Hymsuen Liu and Archie Collings take a hard look at the world of natural bodybuilding and its authenticity. They explore the intricacies of drug testing within natural bodybuilding competitions, sharing their own experiences with these tests.
The discussion covers the varying standards across different federations regarding how many years an athlete must be "natural" before competing, and what substances are banned in the sport. Hymsuen and Archie also delve into the challenges and limitations of drug testing in natural bodybuilding, questioning how organizations can effectively test for a lifetime of natural status.
They examine the concept of the natural limit in bodybuilding and debate whether the effects of steroid use can linger for more than 7-10 years, impacting an athlete’s performance long after they stop using these substances. The conversation extends to the broader issue of performance-enhancing drugs in sports, making this episode a must-listen for anyone interested in the ethics and realities of natural bodybuilding.
