More over, fitness models are photographed only when they are in “contest shape”, which means that they have dieted down to a low body-fat for a short period of time. In the “off-season”, most carry a higher body-fat level because extremely low body-fat levels are physiologically unmanageable.
Besides, some fitness models do use anabolic steroids, just like female bodybuilders. Other drugs used are thermogenics, diuretics, appetite suppressants, amphetamines, and the plethora of “gray market” bodybuilding supplements.
