It is obscenely reckless, this is undeniable.
I agree; I hate the supplement industry, I hate how sponsors dictate the sport, and I hate how pros relentlessly lie to their fans to cover themselves. But... as long as law enforcement places such an emphasis on these socially harmless compounds, one has to protect themselves. Similarly, unless you're sitting on boatloads of money already, sponsorship is an unfortunate necessity to place an athlete in the limelight. I mean heck, someone has to pay for all the compounds the pros are lying about using.
His public honesty is a huge sigh of relief. He's just not the guy to do it, it is his character. He doesn't know how to be professional or handle himself properly. On that note, under the proper guidance, he could overcome these issues, quite easily.
I have to question the challenging of the use of SEO's. I think his protocol isn't necessarily the best for a career with longevity. But... SEO's are huge and I feel heavily used in the sport, by a lot more people than anyone will ever admit. The key to SEO's is understanding how they're going to affect your appearance. If you manipulate them properly, that can be the difference between winning and losing. On the other hand, misuse will leave you looking like a freak and destroying your career.
I hate to call you out, but, I have to call you out. Two years training naturally and you could've walked in and took Mr. Teen California and won the biggest show in Northern California?
Until you run a contest prep, never compare what you "could" do in a contest prep to someone else's contest prep. Honestly, as a dude who has weighed in at 280 lbs. with visible abs, every aspect of bodybuilding is fun, easy, and gratifying to me... except contest prep. This is a whole different ball game, it is grueling, torturous, and the results are never as "easy" as you may think. And honestly, one slip up in your twelve weeks of prep can be the difference between first and last place. I have the utmost respect for every competitor who walks on stage, knowing they went through a contest prep - whether it be successful or unsuccessful. Reason being, in my opinion, this is the most challenging feat any athlete can put themselves through.
