Controversy - Is Andoni natural?
Perhaps the biggest controversy surrounding this athlete is whether Andoni is natural or not . Much has been said about this since the young man's beginnings on social networks. Andoni has raised suspicions of having used anabolic substances since his early days, although he has repeatedly denied this (something very common among young bodybuilders).
There are some arguments against its naturalness:
- A very muscular physique developed at a very young age.
- Enormous strength at a very young age, as shown by his lifting 190 kg in the bench press with very little prior training.
- Great muscle roundness and quality mass with very low levels of fat. He weighs more than 20 kg above his height in centimeters, maintaining visible abs and an incredible ratio between muscle mass and fat.
- He has even competed at 101 kg weighing about 13 kilos more than his height in centimeters with professional bodybuilder fat levels (5-6% fat).
- Round shoulders and overdeveloped trapezius.
Recently, his name has reached the Fitness community in English and some references have spoken out, such as Greg Doucette, who analyzed his physique and stated that it is impossible to obtain naturally, especially for someone of Andoni's age. Greg suspects that Andoni may have been using anabolics since he was still a teenager.
The accusations have affected Andoni, who has had a hard time due to the controversy. He has been repeatedly attacked by other influencers such as the Spanish Strongman Antonio "Masmas". His friend Joan Pradells has publicly defended and supported him against the accusations.
Andoni has neither confirmed nor denied whether he is a natural bodybuilder or not. In any case, he has formidable genetics for bodybuilding and building his body takes a lot of work and dedication of years.
