It can be done, but you'll find yourself in 16th place (aka, last place)
Yup. Just like any other category, you don’t NEED to take gear, but you’ll end up dead last.
Fitness competitions are arms races. Same with strength sports. Back when CrossFit was new, the events at the first Games were pretty realistic if you wanted to compete naturally. Today, it’s a whole different beast.
While all the big and famous bikini competitors like Emily Fenton are most likely on gear. Do you think that for the bikini class, since they don’t require much mass and muscle hardness, can be done without the use of steroids?
