The Future of Bodybuilding
What I'm about to write here is not based on some hard evidence, however based on what I'm reading and what I'm seeing, I believe the new Mecca, the new Hub of beasty looking bodybuilders will shift from its current base in the good old U.S of A, and end up in that very tiny country we call Kuwait.
So what makes this country special as far as providing the necessary "ammunition" that would see a bodybuilder's physique explode with gigantic muscles? Zero regulation coupled with more money than they can handle, that's what! I'll clarify.
You may have noticed that Big Ramy has been gaining enormous size for an already humongous bodybuilder. I think we can all agree that once you get huge, the muscle gain rate slows down to a snail's pace, however that's not what we keep on seeing here. How is that, the explanation (call it speculation on my part if you like), but I know how the Mid-East works. I've already said there's zero regulation, I was referring to someone like Big Ramy seeing a pharmacist friend who is usually a specialist in biochemistry and the way drugs work. Bodybuilders as we all know are their own guinea pigs on a daily basis. So what's going on here?
Something I've written about back in 2009, and something the FDA has been dabbling with for more than few years now. That something? It's a Myostatin inhibiting type of a drug. Looking at Rami's deltoids, I can not help but see those images in my head of those double-muscled Myostatin-inhibited Belgian Blue bulls. Steroids we know; HGH we know, Insulin we know..., but Myostatin is a different ball game altogether.
I may be wrong, but there are way too many very young and pro looking bodybuilders coming out of that Oxygen gym in that tiny little country called Kuwait, that it reminds me of that other tiny little Eastern European country that was kicking the ass of (not only Russia as we know it today), but the whole friggin Soviet Union back in the late 70s and 80s...., until few things changed that caused a dramatic decline in the Bulgarian power as we knew it.
I could be way off the mark, but then again, you might read about what I've written here in the not too distant future. I'll leave it here.
