Is this guy on steroids?

[Medicating]

I saw a picture of this guy on a forum and i wondered whether he was on steroids are not. He does seem incredibly ripped and it seemed a bit... i don't know, suspicious for me.

If he isn't on steroids, how much do you think he weighs and how much would you estimate his body fat percentage at?

 

[Drd13]

No sterioids and I would say about 165 @ 7-8% BF

 

[Medicating]

Okay thanks.

Really helpful reply. Guess i'm aiming for 7-8% bodyfat then.

 

[Simyan]

That's isn't incredibly huge. he is in good shape. 170 - 180 lbs depenging on height

 

[stillwantmore]

I agree with the above. I can definitely tell he's NOT on steroids. LOL, he'd be wasting his money if he was.

 

[Medicating]

Never said he's huge. Just was wondering. I've never taken steroids so i don't know what to really look for in a juicer.

Agreed the guys in good shape. Gonna be a while before i look like that i think. I have a year and a few months to do it in.

 

[kravitz]

Not on the juice for sure. Although, it is not easy to get in such shape. The thing that is confusing (questionable juicing) is the mature muscle that he is carrying. There are one of two ways to acquire mature muscle ...........steroids......or a life long relationship with lifting, body sculpting...whatever you want to call it. This guy has mature muscle, which shows his relationship with body sculpting as a lifelong endeavor. This includes everything from training, eating clean, proper skin care (notice the striations), and most importantly.........mentality. Putting a time table on such relationships is futile for sure. Good luck my man.....

He could also just be an athlete of some sort, a runner, someone with a good metabolism and body composition or all of the above.

 

[DLD]

Crazy good shape...no steroids though, unless cutting roids.

 

[dr.longdong]

hahah...u dont need steroids for that, i sincerely doubt that he takes steroids

 

[stillwantmore]

This isn't ''funny'' like ''ha ha funny'', but it is funny to me when I see men asking about this sort of stuff. I remember a while back a guy on another forum asking if he had to ''take steroids to look like Ryan Reynolds did in Blade Trinity''. Simply put, no. It only takes a clean, sensible diet and a LITTLE exercise. Mostly cardio, and TONING exercises. VERY little in the way of weight lifting. He's not bulky, just lean and toned. YET, because of his tone (aka low body fat) he ''appears'' to be as the young guys like to call it ''JACKED!''. Reality says Ryan Reynolds in the below shape is about 6' tall and around 190lbs. For the average guy to look similar, he'd be around 5' 9'' or so and about 175-180lbs. VERY FAR from ''big''. It's amazing how big a difference though a low body fat, a light tan and possibly some posing oil, baby oil or a spray mist...along with some studio lighting can make. Being critical on his shape, he's probably got NO lower body development, no back, weak traps and so so shoulders LOL I'm not saying he looks bad though, just not my taste. He's got more a ''runner's build'' than a bodybuilder build. Even a guy who lifts moderately a few days a week and watches his diet can look better.

A visual reference for RR's shape in that movie:

 

[REDZULU2003]

''The measure of a man’s physique is not what he weighs or measures but total symmetry''

^ This guy has good proportion and symmetry to his muscles. Narrow waist and wide. Doesn't look like a body-builder, that doesn't mean he's anything less but in my eyes looks more aesthetically pleasing than fluid filled juiced up beef.

Now to answer the question about him being on the juice. I disagree with many here that assume one would be 'larger' for them to seemingly be on steroids .. that is false. Steroids don't magically make you bigger, they help the trainer but he/she must provide STIMULUS via good exercise and NUTRITION. Without either nothing happens, even with large amounts of juice ... apart from slight growth which would occur naturally but speeded up slightly with a normal diet.

I would guess he has taken something to help him out. Could be Winstrol which helps strength and cutting up or something weak but that works in larger dosages called Anavar. Clenbuterol could also be used to help him cut albeit its not a steroid. Only way to know is by urine and/or blood works. I would think something has been taken but nothing too fancy.

This chap has a great looking body, well defined and many men would be envious of him that's for sure. This is a body allot of women would like over a juiced up body-builder like for example Jay Cutler any day of the week. Those guys who juice heavy are the most unhealthy guys on the stage and regardless of what so many brainwashed men think about juice being un harmful, it does lead to many problems later on in life if its abused.

Frank Zane the classic body-builder of the 70's I think had a similar shape and look to this chap albeit more muscular, GREAT body one of the best. Estimate this man to be around 180lbs but depends on his height, could be a really lean 165lbs. Body fat is 4-5% I would say, certainly no more than 7%.

You may also notice Apollo's belt to his right at his waist, where it goes upwards. This is a very nice feature and only seen on really lean guys.

A side note: Allot of these juiced up freak shows are actually less stronger than smaller guys! so this lad, although as some brainwashed individuals would have him as nothing out of the ordinary would be stronger than larger men who are perceived as being stronger. Dont believe me? fine, just read many physiological studies on strength VS size and how it relates.

Tendons, nerves, ligaments and very importantly NEURO-MUSCULAR connection ... that has to be good, the brains pathways to the muscles .. its channels, the roads to which it tells the muscle to fire its last round to the max ... many of us don't have peak neuro muscular connection unless its life and death, which is WHY one becomes very very strong in such conditions, superhuman sometimes because the brain kicks the wheels into motions but some guys have naturally good neuro muscular abilities already, which makes them much more stronger than they seem.

''The measure of a man’s physique is not what he weighs or measures but total symmetry''

I agree. This guy looks great but to make a decision I would need to see his legs.

 

[BigEvil]

LOL....sorry guys, no offense here....but how the hell can you look at this guy and say he is not on steroids? I have seen SMALLER guys in WORSE shape that juice over a gram of test a week, not to mention deca and dbol! Unless you know steroids, ran steroids, or at least been in that social loop, you can't just say "oh yeah he's natural" Steroids don't make you huge, they turn over protein faster and help you recover faster and for fat loss steroids the only that even have some properties in them to ASSIST in weight loss is tren, clen, T3. Steroids (if used to bulk) make you a bigger version of you, this guy could very well have been a 110 pound skin and bone weakling, and then juiced up a few cycles and is in the shape you see in the pic. Then again, maybe he is all natural and good genetics. My only point is there is NO WAY IN HELL you can just look and say "NO, no steroids for him!?!?!"

 

[Medicating]

I doubt hes a lean 165 pounder, he's not only defined, he does have . I'm 160 pounds and i look nothing like that. I would need to pack a lot more muscle to look like that. My body fat isn't higher than 15% so i'm guessing if he was a 165 pounder, we would look the same shape, but he would be a lot more cut. I think he is at the minimum 175-180lbs.

 

[DLD]

Whatever he is I would love to have that body (I will keep my penis though)

 

[Koga313]

I can't really tell if this dude is jucing, but i'd say depending on this guy's height he may weigh around 165-185 pounds and maybe 7-4% bodyfat.

 

[Medicating]

Yeah. Haha. I'm not sure if i'd prefer a 10 inch penis or his body. Thats such a tough choice.
10 inch penis and my body, or his body and my penis... Hydromaxmmm.

 

[DLD]

Yeah. Haha. I'm not sure if i'd prefer a 10 inch penis or his body. Thats such a tough choice.

Take the body and do Penis Enlargement...probably easier than taking the penis and working out

 

[KevinP]

I agree that it isnt possible to know if this guy is on sterioids. I have several friends that have done them/are on them. One is about 6'0" 230, bulky with lack of definition. I have another friend that is 5'6" cut as hell with great symmetry but not "big". It all depends on how long you have been using them, what kind of steroid, what kind of exercise, diet, genes and how your body reacts to them. Im no expert by any means but this is my opinion. That guy is in great shape regardless of his use or not. I would imagine I would look similar if I dropped my BF % from 16% to about 6-8%. If I could have a 9x6 or have his body I would choose the niner. A body like that can be achieved easier (in my case).

 

[Medicating]

I'd probably take the penis too. I think that body is possible in a year. However the marathon that is Penis Enlargement... years and years.

Exactly the point I was making. Steroids are not magical, far from it ... one must train and have good diet otherwise nada. I've played rugby with guys who were 'juiced to the gills' yet they didnt look like Arnie as some morons would assume it would make them look like .. makes you laugh doesnt it. Usually the guys who know very little and yet think they know so much and is also those who misinform youngsters in the gym who than injure themselves or OD on the juice, which in some men with undiagnosed heart problems can be lethal in insane amounts ... so tip here is RESEARCH RESEARCH RESEARCH and than do it again before you take a steroid ... dont just read and copy what someone says on a BB forums, thats bad idea and aswell what the local gym-rat has to say ... even though he looks like the incredible hulk ... chances are he's got multiple undiagnosed problems that will later crop up in life.

 

[REDZULU2003]

Thinking, knowing, doing and than achieving are very different things. I bet whoever this guy is in the photo has worked his arse off for years in order to look like that. It takes a few years to build a foundation if your not a naturally built guy already. Diet, training and rest all play a role. The most important thing though .... ENJOY it and have satisfaction in what you do, its self improvement I see it as ... not for the women but for myself. Also studies suggest (I will search them out) that stronger men actually live longer.

 

[W.A.L.]

He's not on roids.

He's 5'4. He goes by the internet name Tinytrip.

His entire body is well proportioned. Including his legs.

[REDZULU2003]

Thanks for the links, the guy has done great and a true inspiration for the average joe to make a change to themselves. Is it possible he could be tempted to visit here and post? just asking.

 

[Turnover]

Depends on how many leg's, if he had 2 strong one's he could work on his grip strength.

 

[TheStick]

He's built almost like a gymnast.

 

[TheStick]

Also he's using an old modeling trick in his pose. His lower half is turned to the side and his torso is turned facing the camera head-on. This creates an exaggerated T-shape effect.

 

[REDZULU2003]

Nothing wrong with being built like a Gymnast buddy, they have some of the highest functional strength of any athlete as they train solely on bodyweight alone.

 

[WhatCanISay]

He is not even close to steroid user. I saw an asian guy at my gym last night. He is 5'6 but his shoulder is 3 times my width but his nipples were pointing downward. It's bitchy tits.

 

[REDZULU2003]

Again assuming the big misconception that all steroid users will look like Dorian Yates, they do not. Steroid users can have nothing if they dont work out and allot if they diet and exercise accordingly. The guy in the picture has a body that looks great and could be like ones that steroid users have from drug abuse. Dont assume that steroids = A Dorian Yates body because they do not.

 

[stillwantmore]

More people than most realize also seem to think that if a guy has ANY muscle he must be on "steroids". Quite humorous....just like the new skinny and tanned craze with women. Women lately seem to be all giggly over tanned, skinny guys.

Here's a link to more pictures of him. He's ripped to fucking shreds man. Inspiration.

 

[tester8888]

He looks great. Wish I could just look a fraction as good as him! I don't care if it took anabolics or not.

 

[DLD]

Yup, he is pretty freaking shredded! legs need some work but pretty much perfect.

 

['pepe']

would like to know his diet plan

 

[REDZULU2003]

Superb lean in proportion physique. This is like the Grecian-Roman god ideal male body looked like from the statues they had and incl the great Apollo and other heroes. You'll always have guys comment negatively on blokes like this such as ''He isn't that large'' blah blah but they talk with jealousy.

His size will be more impressive than a larger buy because he is so lean and has the muscles in proportion, unlike the typical drug abused bodybuilder who looks a freaking mess with muscle slabbed on anywhere ... that isn't sexy but this is, in a non-gay manner I mean this ... I have saved this guys pix and aspire to become as lean with the muscular appearance.

In places he's that sharp you could cut yourself.

 

[Medicating]

Red hit the nail on the head. He's an inspiration.

 

[Konstantin]

You can never know if guy's on steroid or not from a picture, lol
You can have guy 180lbs 7%bodyfat on NO steroids, and thn 140lbs guy with 20% bodyfat on roids , ive seen that times and times again. If you dont have the mental drive and discipline you can juice like a pro and will always look like average Joe.
Redzulu arguin about , oh he probably took wistrol, or something, by looking at his picture ? wtf
And only way to know urine/blood work? ..... if someone is caught at urine test does mean only one thing - didnt do his homework


If you wanna look like the guy above you do NOT need roids.

I dont understand your hate and jealousy over bodybuilders. Not everybody caloing themself bodybuilder really is, im sorry you have bad experiences.
Typical bodybuilder = freaking mess with muscles slabbed on anywhere, no aesthetics? Do you ever watch guys like Dexter Jackson, Dennis Wolf and hundreds of other pros and thousands of amateurs, I dont think you do. I understand you like this kid(althou I dnt understand your comments at the beginning about wistrol or clen helping him), me too, lets call him inspiration, no problem. Do you think someone like Dex do less wokr thn this kid?
I understand 99% of public will prefer his physique over Dexters, but why so much hate man, ''juiced up shit'' ''freaking mess''. I dont see how Wolf is any less inspirational than this guy.

Here is your stated, Dennis Wolf. http://www.bodyfreaks.com/photoplog/images/1/1_754rb0514.jpg

I just think the website name says it all. He doesn't look healthy. He looks ruined. I think this 'tinytrip' guy looks in great shape, he looks fit and he looks in shape. The excess of veins, like snakes under his skin just kinda make me think that, if the veins need to surface for more air, the amount of muscle on him really cannot be good for him. Sure veins come up during sport to get more air, but not in the same way as this.

That much muscle will put a strain on the heart, giving him a shorter life expectancy. I can't see how this is a good thing.

Also, in terms of inspiration, nobody will look at Dennis Wolf and say 'i'm gonna be that big and get in the same shape as him'. They won't say that as it'll take years, and years, and years of hard work every day. Most people don't have the time to get that big, let alone want to be that big. However, 'Tinytrip' has a level of fitness and a body that is possible for a lot of people to reach. Yes, it may take time, but it won't take as long as being like Dennis Wolf. Therefore, Tinytrip for example is, to the masses, more likely to be in inspiration than Dennis Wolf. However, for people such as yourself by the sounds of it, Dennis Wolf will be more of an inspiration. I think you are the minority on this one though. There is no problem with that though.

We are all inspired by different aspects.

Good post, last part is nice, just a few things:
Exactly what I said about that kid being more of an inspiration and more likeable for 99% of the population, obviously. You can look like that kid with no steroids, you could be runner, basketball player, swimmer, athlete whatever you want and maintain that look and still have the outside life, on the other hand, looking like Wolf will cost you each and everyday, years of training, clean food, not to mention tons of money for all the food/suppl/juice/hormones there is no argument about that. Your gonna like the kids look better because you can look like him faster with alot less affort. The pat about veins was abit missleading. I like how you say the kid is ripped to fucking shredds, but 6-7% bodyfat is just ripped, if the kid was 3% bodyfat ath the day of the competition, he would have as much veins popping as wolf which you can see at amateur shows, even at natural level, thats it.

The part about shorter life exspancy is pretty funny, nearly as much funny as roid rage.
How much strain on heart do you think put half of the nation bein overweight, out of shape, no physical activity end so on, not to menation that his career will end one day and he wont be taking much, but still will have the discipline and the love for being in shape and for sport. Look at guys like Lee Haney, Lou Ferrigno , they are all over 50, have kids and ar in better shape that half of the guys in their 20s I can assuere you about that. Yeah sure they are the oldschool guys you say, I can assure you they took tons of shit, especially when Ferrigno got $250k to prepare for Olympia from Weider.... good talk

No hate and certainly no jealousy. Its my opinion they look a sight and many guys have thought it looks cool and wanting to be like them, ruining various aspect of life to be like that and for nothing. I dont give a shit if truthful about them, the best bodies are ones with symmetry and proportion which elite bodybuilders of today do not have. I guess old dogs like Vince Gironda, Arthur Jones and Mike Mentzer could be called jealous and envious hahaha they thought the same way and the former two trained world champions that although were getting large, they weren't grotesque.

I'm going to upload a few ebooks on the subject of steroid for those interested one way or another.
