I agree.

Plus if you are gonna use, where is the fun in coming off and running pct in to comp as per this example?

You may aswell compete balls to the wall at the peak of your cycle, halo'd up to your tits Grin

As a strength athlete, the motivation to win a competition at the expense of lifting less weight baffles me sometimes.

exactly. i'm only satisfied if my total goes up and i hit numbers that reflect gym work - don't care if I lose or win.
masters is a crap shoot at best as far as competition goes. one comp you could be up against delroy, norcup etc.
another just noobs or even no-one.

Someone very famous in powerlifting said (wrt drugs) "It's your life and you can do what you want" and there is a song with those lyrics. I would re-write them as

Lyrics re-written said:
It's your life and you can do what you want. Do what you like. But please don't take PEDs in a tested fed/sport, compete in an untested fed.

Must be pretty humiliating to get caught cheating when there are untested Feds you can compete in. I know I'd never live it down with people I know.

GBPF is probably riddled with users. I won't put a percentage on a guess, but would anybody be surprised at least 1/3 are on??

Adam, you've often shown a lot of support for me, and there's plenty reasons to like you, so I'm going to do my best to put this delicately.

That is a complete dickhead suggestion to make. No it is not a f**king third lol. I doubt a third of British powerlifters from every fed combined are taking PEDs, let alone those who have chosen to lift in a tested fed.

I'm a sceptic by nature Tom lol

I still support you.

People react strangely to failed drugs tests. A lot of people take the stance of "well, if he got caught, then how many others must be doing it and getting away with it". Drug testing is not random, it is definitely targeted in the GBPF. A failed test and a banned cheat is surely a triumph of drug testing, not an exposure of how flawed the system "must be".

The real kicker is, if all drug tests came back clean, you all cry about how easy it must be to pass a test if no one failed, and by extension, everyone must be taking drugs.

So you can't win either way, either no one fails because drug testing is too s**t to catch anyone, or when cheats do get caught it means there must be hundreds of other cheats that didn't get caught.


A big consideration when moving to untested powerlifting for me was "NO ONE f**kING BELIEVES YOU ANYWAY".

To be fair Tom, that's only relevant if you're strong. Which is your own fault. If you were a fair bit weaker you'd fm find more people would've believed you.
So there!

Id be curious what you think the ratio of users vs non-users is Tom?

Based on the very small sample this thread covers it suggests about 1 in 7 in the GBPF.

I cant begin to understand why you think so few of the untested lifters are using? Surely a huge part of the reasoning behind lifting untested is to allow freedom to use whatever people want (i appreciate this could as easily be recreational drugs and wont always necessarily be AAS)

I know a s**t load of lifters who compete untested who are natty. Less strict rules, more fun lifting environments, less hassle. There are plenty of reasons to lift non GBPF other than drug testing.
