I'll be moving there for a while in a few months and had some questions related to the legal status of AAS that I can't find through Google. Thank you.
LOL'd so hardyou ever seen a jacked china man? There's you answer roundeye.
Have you ever seen pictures of the Chinese Olympic weightlifting team? Here's a sport that isn't exactly known for producing monstrous physiques, yet, the Chinese team, where the government actually works to hinder WADA in drug testing, unlike Western countries, all look like in-season bodybuilders. You'll see 150lb guys with 6% bodyfat squatting 600lbs.you ever seen a jacked china man? There's you answer roundeye.
Their National Team don't really look like bodybuilders to me. They actually look right on par to what most elite, Olympic weight lifters look like. Fairly lean with great shoulders and I actually think their traps are a bit small for as many upright movements as they perform. That said, I put nothing past their government to give their athletes an edge. They don't look like they use roids, but I'm not saying they're not.Have you ever seen pictures of the Chinese Olympic weightlifting team?

There are drugs in China. Your best bet might be to seek out athletics where use is the accepted norm, especially at the international level, and make friends.
I know nothing of the legality issue though, only that if you are going to be doing *anything* illegal in China, do not get caught!
The Chinese are widely accepted as being on more drugs than anyone else in the sport, and pretty much everyone in Asia or Eastern Europe is using PED's. It is near-impossible to drug test over in China, compared to anywhere else. Since the weight class change and new records started, basically, since they brought in the 'lets actually try and catch them' drug testing, the jacked weightlifter look is largely gone. Check out the lifters from the 80's, as compared to now. The Chinese definitely have the look of the older less tested lifters. Maybe we're looking at different pictures, but I've seen a lot of sub-8% Chinese lifters. They also do more general hypertrophy than other countries do.Their National Team don't really look like bodybuilders to me.

You have to get an invite to be on the National Team, apart from that, who knows what else they are "voluntarily" on.
P.S. I'm also not sure whether the National Team invite is a, "please join the National Team," or "report to the National Team tomorrow or your family goes to prison."
I can't comment on the aas question. But overall China is amazing. Have a fun time there.
lol. I agree.^^^Weird...you just described Central Florida :lol:
When I think of bodybuilders, I think of probably the bulk of trainers out there. The look you see in the magazines, the best selling magazines anyways, not the ones that really promote AAS. Most actual bodybuilders look more like this than Coleman or Cutler. Obviously you could never get under a quick snatch looking like those guys. There are some pictures out there with these Chinese lifters just standing there posing, and others in action, that look pretty cranked up. I wish I could post up some pictures. I am even surprised to see the size of some of the arms on these guys, as arms play little part in the overall lift.I'm not arguing any of your points and this isn't a rebuttal to your post. I put nothing past their government, especially when international competition (thus, international PR) is concerned. Maybe we just have a different perspective on what a bodybuilder looks like. These are the physiques I'm "currently" seeing. He looks fairly average build in my opinion. Far from anything exceptional. I can confidently say I look far more jacked then he does and I'm as bare @$$ natural as it comes, I'm barely on protein.
They are probably on strength roids, as oppose to hyper-hypertrophy roids as you said. On the same token, I've never seen the 80's lifters, only the relatively current crop.
Dude, not cool. I guarantee he doesn't want you posting that on a public forum.My brother lived in China for a few months and actually did a cycle over there. He said it was hard to obtain but there was no legal repricutions on having them. He's military intelligence pretty high ranking so I'm assuming it's right.
That post couldn't possibly hurt anyone. Besides, he said it was legal to have.Dude, not cool. I guarantee he doesn't want you posting that on a public forum.
I can understand your concern chim, but no names, ranks, or any kind of personal information was disclosed in the statement, so I don't think it will cause any type of harm.Dude, not cool. I guarantee he doesn't want you posting that on a public forum.
AGREEDI can understand your concern chim, but no names, ranks, or any kind of personal information was disclosed in the statement, so I don't think it will cause any type of harm.
