Natural Bodybuilding Contests: The SHOCKING Truth You Need To Know

Should you consider competing in natural bodybuilding competitions in 2025 or is the drug testing a joke? There are many fitness influencers out there who decry natural bodybuilding contests, saying the drug testing isn't legitimate, that the polygraph tests are easily passed and that all of the so called natural bodybuilders are on steroids. And as such you should not waste your time going onstage with a bunch of "fake natties."

That being said, I have completed in natural bodybuilding competitions where the winner of the class failed the drug test and other competitors who placed ahead of me failed future drug tests. And while you may think that this would dissuade me from recommending natural bodybuilding contests, nothing could be further from the truth.

If you are a natural bodybuilder you should seriously consider competing in natural bodybuilding competitions and not with any non tested organizations, even when they have natural contests.

They may not be perfect, but as someone who personally knows many of the heads of the various natural bodybuilding organizations, I can vouch for the fact that they do their very best to stop those using steroids and other performance enhancing drugs from competing against natural athletes. Especially with the limited resources available to them.

So if you are on the fence about competing, don't be! Go for it as I believe you will be a part of what it takes to make the sport of natural bodybuilding even better! Thanks for watching and as always, Excelsior!!!#naturallyintense
