Yesterday i walked into my gym and iffb pro mike ely was there training. Guess there is a local show going on. Seeing a person like this makes me realize how much i lack in discipline and dedication lol. Anyone else have pro`s at their gym? My gym has 2 but not the size of this guy. Dumb subject but im bored.

But anyone can look like that with steroids. Lol! I hate hearing that statement. Yes, you must lift full tilt. And imo be maxed out natty prior to steroid use.
I remember back when I was 15 over in California and managed to sneak a temporary 2 week pass into Powerhouse gym, I had just finished 'training' lol and out of the locker room walks Shawn Ray right in front of me who was one of the main guys at that time. I literally couldn't believe what I was seeing, yeah he isn't a tall guy but his width and thickness was absolutely massive to me back then. Legs for arms it was insane!!! Of course I didn't know what steroids even looked like back then so to me this guy looked non-human as I figured he could be natural - so why didn't I look even 10% like him LMAO Tito Ortiz was also in there most days lifting, he'd just constantly stand doing barbell curls in front of the mirror. He always had his shirt off with that massive cross on his back - I was scared shitless to even look at the guy lol.
I can’t imagine, dude, I really can’t. I’ve seen some big guys, but to see those guys would’ve been jaw dropping. I would’ve loved to see Ronnie at his peak, too, especially with him being a bit taller. Sheesh!
I had a couple friends growing up that wound up going for their pro cards, how they didn’t earn them, politics I guess. They won local shows but couldn’t win that card, one of them even did some photo shoots for magazines. These guys were big (at 5’10” or so), thick, and absolutely shredded for the contests. This was early-mid 1990’s, maybe they didn’t have the “look” the judges wanted to see, but impressive nonetheless. And in case you’re wondering, no, 500mg of test, 300mg deca, and an oral wasn’t even close. The diets and water intake off season and leading up to the show were more impressive than the drugs though, it was a science all in itself.
I’m “gym buddies” with a pro, but I won’t give his name for info sec. He’s not a big name (that I know of), but he’s a pretty big dude. He’s taller, so he isn’t quite as wide, but you can tell he competes at the very least. I have yet to see the gigantic pro’s, though.
I train at a bodybuilding focused gym that has several pros and high level amateurs. It is definitely a sight to behold seeing them up close and furthers my own body dismorphia lmao I'm a lean 245 now, but still feel like I'd need another 30-40lbs of good mass to even be in their ballpark.
