What Is “Natty” Bodybuilder Exactly?

Richard Sullivan @ age 52

According to online buffoons, “natty” refers to those who do not use steroids, testosterone, or human growth hormone. Other know-it-alls additionally claim such things as testosterone “boosters” are not allowed (as if they believe they get to write the rules for everyone else), even though they can’t even define what a testosterone booster is exactly.

Truly, most of this argumentative rhetoric comes from losers who have failed at getting themselves into the gym, ending up drooling over images of successful people online, then looking for an excuse to explain their failure.

A  “natty” or “natural bodybuilder” would have to be strictly  defined as one who utilzes nothing but his or her own bodyweight to work out—no dumbbells, no machines, no exercise bands. Bodyweight exercises only. Also, they could use no supplements—no protein bars or powder, vitamins, BCAAs, energy drinks. No Red Bull, No Monster, no coffee. They could eat no foods that are not completely organic and chemical free in their farming, manufacture and processing. You get the picture: "natty" means natural, and natural means NATURAL. Nothing less.

Those representing themselves as some moral authority are informing the rest of us that they are nothing of the kind. These trolls do not get to redefine the historic definitions of words to suit their own pathetic ends, or make rules for others to follow. They don’t get to denigrate or accuse others to solely boost their own feelings of diminished self-worth. They don’t get to tell YOU how to go about achieving your dreams so as not to threaten their fragile egos—or businesses. 

Recognize, then reject these losers and their self-serving preachings.
