Natty Power

Natty Power is method mainly aimed at natural athletes, but nevertheless, it could be equally useful to those who are using steroids (aka “roids”, “juice”, “gear”) or any other performance enhancing synthetic substances. Nature does not discriminate anyone, so natty or not, everyone is welcome to try Natty Power method.

Steroids can enable athletes to handle larger volumes, higher intensities and shorter recovery intervals. It may result in reaching higher strength in less time, more muscle mass, more energy, etc. These are significant advantages, so achievements surely won’t fall in the same range with natty athletes. Because of that, juiced athletes will not be able to distinguish the pure benefits of Natty Power from the gains caused by drugs. Since Natty Power can do wonders for natural athletes, it would be great to try it without steroids, just to see how beneficial the method is itself.

Steroids and other non-hormone based drugs are unhealthy in numerous aspects, so why bother? Yes, they can improve performance and physique, but it is never worth risking health, whatever the reason may be. I have never ever used steroids or any other kind of performance enhancing chemicals in my life. Also, I never used any supplements either, because supplements are often totally useless and could be toxic. After all, I never used any additional vitamins or minerals, because these nutrients are useful only as ingredients of real food and usually are not needed, if you eat properly. My honest recommendation is very simple: eat healthy, sleep enough and train hard - that’s all. You may heard this before, but it won’t hurt to carve it in your mind, since that is absolutely the best recipe for successful physical training.

Steroids can induce faster progress and better final results, but are you a professional athlete whose career depends on elite level performance? Do you earn for a living with your body? Are you planning to crush some World records? Are you competing on a regular basis? Do you plan to participate in the next Olympic games or maybe Mr. Universe? If the answer is yes to any of the previous questions, then go ahead, I would fully understand why you need steroids, although I don’t approve their use. If you decide to go juiced route, remember that steroids should be applied only under supervision of a medical expert. If you are just a regular guy or a girl, an ordinary amateur athlete who wants to improve power and physique, then please choose the natty way.

Beside being toxic and generally unhealthy, there is another potential health problem with steroids, which may not be obvious right away. Avoiding injuries was always my priority and it should be yours too. If you are a natty lifter who strictly follows natural approach and pays attention to body signals, you will probably never get injured. You will progress slowly, so your bones and tissues will have plenty of time to adapt to heavy weights, explosive movements and high stress techniques. Therefore, natty lifters who train carefully and within natural limits, will have much higher probability to stay injury-free throughout their whole lifting career. On the other side, if you are on steroids, you will instantly become capable to train harder, use heavier weights, progress faster, rest less and all that increases risk of injury. For professional athletes, the risk is even higher and injuries are almost inevitable. They have to be on juice regularly, since it is a necessity for achieving and maintaining the top level performance. The problem is with bones and muscles having a hard time supporting that boost in strength and energy. Another problem caused by steroids is psychological and relates to mind altering aggressive behavior, false perception of being invincible and possession of immense godlike power. These are all potential dangers for health and question is for how long they can be avoided without consequences. Forever? Most often, injuries occur during competitions or record chasing. Whenever athletes push themselves to the limit and beyond, that is the moment when something snaps. Beside competitions and breaking records, even more dangerous are NFL games, where juiced athletes are slamming into each other. Although it is a “game” and not a competing sport, the participants are “on gear” most of the time and collisions are a guarantee for injuries. Contusions and fractures are just a matter of time. With all this in mind, we can conclude that professional sports are dangerous and certainly not healthy. Therefore, please avoid pro sports, competitions and record breaking. Stay natty and enjoy a lifetime of injury-free training.

I can confirm from my own experience that staying natty and training the natty way will bring power, build muscle and establish capabilities that will last for a long time. This last statement brings me to another advantage of natty approach. If athlete stops training for a while, it is normal to loose some muscle and performance will degrade somewhat as well. However, I was pleasantly surprised how slow this process was in my case. There were periods of 6 or more months of absolutely no training, but my body weight, strength and power didn’t suffer much. Once I had a pause of several years with almost no physical activity, except some light hiking, swimming and bicycle riding. I lost around 40lbs of body weight, but strength decrease was relatively small. Loss of muscle volume mostly resulted in low energy potential, but in a few months of hard training, I was able to get back to old capacities. Of course, I was never a competing athlete and competition levels are much harder to maintain and regain. The point is that for an amateur athlete, there is nothing better then staying natty and training the natty way for long lasting results.
