This isn't hate at or shade on natural bodybuilding. It's just not really for me. Natural bodybuilding at a high level requires competitors to be extremely lean, to the point of muscle loss, hormonal disruption, strength degradation and an overall tanking in quality of life.

If you want to compete in natural bodybuilding, feel free, I'm not your mother. But it's important to realize that a lot of natural bodybuilders don't talk about the negative aspects of it, and many do blow up quite a bit post show. Would you rather be 4-5% for a week and rocket up to 25-30% body fat later, or just maintain 12-18% year round?

I'd pick the latter, every single time.
