Are the natural bodybuilders you see in the magazines really natural like they claim to be?

There are very few truly natural bodybuilders that compete or do photo shoots. You could say there are different levels of natural, if that even makes sense, and I’ll put them in categories for you.

1. Only uses proper nutrition to build muscle. I highly doubt if anyone is in this category anymore.
2. Uses food and supplements you can buy over the counter at a supplement store.
3. Uses food, over-the-counter supplements, and under-the-counter products such as ephedrine.
4. Uses all the above plus some GH.
5. Uses all the above and adds in what he would consider small amounts of anabolics.

So, to sum it all up, no. The supposed natural bodybuilders you see in magazines or competing aren't natural.
