Pro's and Acne Question

[Panzerfaust]

Ok, we all know about the dreaded side affect that is acne. generally this is on the shoulders and back and in some cases can spread to the chest as well.

I have been watching a couple of my bodybuilding DVD's alot recently. In particular Jay Cutler's "A cut above" and Ronnie's "On the Road".

With all the gear that these guy's take, just how in the hell do they have such smooth skin without a single blemish? wtf?

I seriously am wondering just how in th hell they are getting away with not having acne problems all over their shoulders etc..???

Are they taking in supplement to counteract a break out?

I have some white heads on my shoulders and back but it is far from being real bad but still i dont even like that.

So what is the secret here?

[number twelve]

bump i would be curious to know also

[Hoggage_54]

That's why they're the Pros and we're the Joes!

[nickm748]

they might take accutane and stuff like that (thats my guess)

[number twelve]

and i guess all the tanning keeps it clear too

[PeteyK]

the truth is none of them use gear, they are actually all just the next step in human evolution like X-Men

i would like to know also. i assume genetics plays a large roll. i get it mildly on my back, shoulders, chest and even upper arms. fortunately i dont get it on my face (knocks on wood).

[5ifthCitizen]

i took accutane for a while, worked really well for me. only problem was dry skin and it kinda messes with ur emotions.

[Schmidty]

A lil bit of test and i break out like no other. My face gets so gross im taken 3-4 showers a day

[BigGuy5420]

accutane, it is the cure for acne.... many pros have a had run through with it even if it is not that bad to begin with, accutane permanently shrinks the sebaceous glands making post accutane breakouts greatly reduced and/or much less visible if they do occur.

[5ifthCitizen]

if you stay off aas its permanent but once you go on without the accutane it comes right back. they must have to take it pretty much always.

I'm sure if you saw them up close in person offseason when they aren't as tan, you'll see acne. But like the bro's said above, accutane and dish soap work miracles.

I never had acne as a teen and I do not get acne now. I have run some decent doses of test without any anti-Es and never have got acne or gyno as a side. I've gotten some bloating but that's it.

I see Victor Martinez several times a week and he does not have acne.

Generally speaking, I think white guys are more prone to acne than black guys, atleat it will be more noticebal when you have brighter skin...Tanning helps to mask the problem even if it doesnt actually help.

Has nothing to do with one's race, the darker the skin the harder it is to notice blemishes.

[Panzerfaust]

I am going to start tanning religiously again most likely next week. This will clear up alot of my shoulders but it still baffles me how perfect their skin looks.

[C_Bino]

Also laser type surgery can get rid of it. Saw it on TV. Also GH helps with skin and DIET. When I eat really clean my skin looks WAY better, not that I have acne, but I look like I have tighter younger skin.

But its all sepculation really.

[Bojangles69]

Yeh theres about a million and 2 prescription meds & gels for acne besides accutane.
Start with the weakest and work your way up.

And others just dont and never will get a single pimple thier whole life.

ur lucky man. i have to take 20mg nolva and .5mg arimidex just to keep my gyno somewhat under control. so it is mostly genetics i guess.

actually black ppl do have better skin then white ppl

Ok I just typed 3 different short responses to this comment and have decide I dont know a damn thing.
Physical and biological characteristics DO vary from race to race but I just dont know.
My intuition wants to see black covers red, thus the *illusion of no pimples.

But from my time in the slammer I do recall them getting mean ass angry bumps shaving while white people might just get a nik or 2.

Who knows?

It's summer time too nothing like the sun & sea water to help your skin if you live near the coast as well as the girls.
