Before And After: Artemus Dolgin Says He’s Off Steroids And Has Been Natty For Over A Year

by GI Team Published on Jan 29, 2018

Is Artemus Dolgin claiming natty?

Artemus Dolgin is a very divisive figure in bodybuilding. While many agree his opinions of bodybuilding philosophy, that the Golden Era of bodybuilding was back in the days of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Frank Zane, there are many others who find his motivational speeches as attention seeking. Everyone has an opinion and Artemus Dolgin chooses to let his be known for better or worse.

Bodybuilding will forever be tied to anabolic steroid usage, it’s simply an unavoidable reality. Many bodybuilders still refuse to talk about gear usage and would much rather keep things on the hush hush. But bodybuilding fans aren’t fools, they understand the reality that many of their favorite bodybuilders are using something to enhance their appearance. For Artemus Dolgin, admitting his gear usage is something he’s never been afraid of talking about.

A recent post to his Instagram shows a before and after picture of Artemus Dolgin. In one picture claims to be on steroids while the other is after his anabolic usage. Take a look below.

On vs 1.5 year off. Comments? Right or left, and why? #goldenaesthetics #strongerthantheworld

What is Artemus Dolgin trying to suggest with this before and after picture? Is he trying to claim that you can still have crazy gains while living a natty lifestyle? If that’s the case, is the argument harmed due to the fact that he had already cultivated his muscle with the help of steroids? It’s hard to claim natty after already building considerable muscle while on gear. After all, if you train hard enough and stay diligent on your diet, it’s not like all your muscle mass will simply fade away completely.

What’s your thoughts on these before and after pics posted by Artemus Dolgin?
