Yes, a quicker and easier way.... that's not to say that hard work is not still required, just that you get more reward for that hard work. Is it cheating if you use gear to get a good body? No. Is it cheating if you use gear in a contest where everybody else isn't? Yes.
But yes, you are right, we can't police it.
What I am saying is that we should call it a natural comp. If you want to use gear next year, don't enter.
If anybody feels that desperate for that little bit of glory, or for the prizes, that they will enter into a natural comp and use gear, well, it'll be a hollow victory for them and a pretty embarrassing defeat if they still lose.
Why can't we call it a natural comp? Sure we can't police it, but can't we just politely ask our fellow forum members who choose to juice not to enter?
Again, no hate against steroid users. But you can't deny they speed up progress, recovery etc (they don't call them performance enhancing drugs for nothing...). So in the context of this contest, they should not be allowed.
What do you think?
