sooo what classifies natural? NPC rule is anything that can NOT be bought legally by the public makes you not. So PHs are ok but SERMs will ruin it for you.

Others say any type of PH is not natural.

hmmmm....any thoughts? Anyone know any of the other orginizations rules on it?

Well, just for forum convenience, those subjects have their own forum. I think this is meant to strategy and encouragement talk for those that edge towards that approach (non-hormonal).

it's pretty strict. I went to all the sites as I plan on competing naturally. To sum it up from what I read, you pretty much can only take your basic non-hormonal supplements, with test boosters only being the herbal ones.

no clen, no pro hormones, no anti-aromatase, no ECA, etc.

pretty cool tho, i mean why even bother using any of the above if you aren't competing in the first place? a lot can be achieved naturally as shown time and time again on these forums.

Natural Bodybuilding = Using hormonals, but only months before competitions, so when they compete they're "clean"

[D3vildog]

I like the addition, I prefer to train with out any of the PHs or anything like that. I'm not a big fan of supps to begin with.

[fightbackhxc]

all natural here

[Whacked]

Can't help but wonder - I've always wondered this myself! Any truth to this?

I mean, WHEN does testing actually take place? YEAR ROUND?

GREAT FORUM! PROPS!

They use lie detector tests and then screen the class winners. It is possible to cheat. But why?

Not to beat a dead horse on the subject, but the truth is you can define "Natural" however you want to. Some say certain supps are ok, some say all "over the counter" supps (ones you can purchase legally) are ok, and some are as strict as saying NO SUPPS would be natural. Me...I adhere more to the "if it's legally sold, it's natural". I don't take advantage per se of everything that entails, but I believe that nonetheless.

Now, if you are completing, I would strongly suggest going to the website of the organization you are planning on competing in (OCB, NGA, etc.). They will list for you everything that is banned.
