Oh. My point stands then, you can get ripped without either (growth hormones or steroids). |
can you show me some pics of what you mean by ripped? i think we might be using different definitions here.
i'm talkin abt ppl that look like dwayne "the rock" johnson, or even hugh jackman in "x-men". even tho hugh jackman doesn't have as much muscle mass as the rock, i'll bet good money that either a) a good bit of magic touching up (CGI etc) was done to make him look as fit, or b) a liberal regimen of PEDs was used during or immediately prior to filming, to get him in that shape.
i've had numerous trainers and such over the years, and every single one admitted to using some kind of PED, many would even offer them to me at inflated rates.
so if you're talking about ppl that are just in "good shape" then yes, that's certainly possible. but i'm talkin abt the 6-pack abs and ultra-defined muscular look of movie stars here. |

Human Growth Hormone.
It's expensive, but it gets you ripped really quickly if you work out a bunch while taking it. Very popular in Hollywood, for getting the stars in "screen" shape, on somewhat short notice. |
I did wonder how these guys manage to pack on so much muscle so quickly. Is this legal then? |

it isn't legal, and real HGH is quite expensive - significantly more expensive than steroids, even. which is why only movie stars and well off ppl can afford it. |

Yeah, the results are pretty impressive. I was under the impression it was legal, but only by prescription and under the supervision of a doctor... but I may be wrong, or that may have changed. It probably differs from country to country as well, but Hollywood doesn't really care about things like that anyway. |

Oh, I meant bodies women might actually find attractive, like that swimmer body look, so we're working on different definitions here :p

I say most, because most people have very little objectivity when it comes to self improvement or educated criticism of their behaviour. Surely as an teacher you'd see for yourself that the majority of your students would probably fall into 3 categories;
A tiny percent that genuinely want to improve what they know, even at a serious challenge of their own preconceptions or drastic changes to their personal direction.
A big fat lump in the middle that are swinging their legs going lalalala, I'm here because I have to be and will do the minimum effort to pass.
Another smaller lump that have decided now is a good time to switch off, have a nap, browse the net on a smartphone and meh-whatever on their laptop/doodle on a note pad.
Its not an idealists situation, its just reality. |
Well... in a sense, yeah. It depends quite a lot on the institution as well, but there's some truth to that :/ |
