I believe this is a great event, but the obvious use of anabolic agents by several competitors this year may be discouraging to responsible, natural bodybuilders on campus. (Continued…)

Natural Lifter,

I find it hard to believe Chester really wrote that comment. I remember him having more sportsmanship than that.
I could care less about mass. According to head judge Chad Graham, I beat out heavyweight Austin Signor in the finals, who had over 60 pounds more "mass" than me. (Continued…)

Dude, Chad Graham is full of shit. Only thing you had on Austin was you were more conditioned, and you obviously had a better color. I mean your traps are not existant. (Continued…)
