Everything is relative. After joining this forum I began realizing what a nebulous term "natural" is. There are many different perspectives for what makes a natural lifter. For example, I was offended one day when my lifting buddy said he was natural and I'm a "supplement guy" when someone asked us about our habits. I take glutamine and whey protien isolate, and I always thought of myself as natural. But I could see that in his eyes, that isn't natural, whole foods. He's quite the purist.
I've also noticed many folks here have their own standards. For example, I personally don't consider ephedrine natural, but noticed plenty of folks discussing it in the natural bodybuilding subforum.
So, is there and accepted and agreed upon definition of natural bodybuilding? If not, what does natural mean to you? Where do you draw the line?
For me, I am OK with protien, bcaas and vitamins. Too much past that I don't consider natural anymore, but who the f*ck am I?
