Jeff Willet – Natural or NOT?

| by Truth Seeker |

Jeff Willet is undoubtedly one of the most popular alleged natural bodybuilders on the planet. He had a ripped and aesthetic physique that many admire to this day. Question is, can you have a similar body naturally? Is Jeff Willet natural or not?

The main factors to consider when deciding whether Jeff Willet is natty or not are:

1. Jeff Willet rivals former IFBB pros in size

A very effective way to see if someone is natural is to compare him to IFBB pros from the Golden Era of Bodybuilding when drugs were widely used and abused. Back then, doctors were writing scripts left and right. Moreover, in every gym steroids were sold like candy bars. It was not uncommon to see needles on the locker room floor. The dealers were not afraid to show their goods, and steroids were as reachable as an ice cream. All IFBB pros from the 70s used the stuff.

In his prime Jeff Willet had the following stats:

Jeff Willett-Natural-Or-Not

Height:

5’7” (170cm)

Weight:

198 lbs (90kg)

Bodyfat levels:

5,00%

Let’s compare Jeff Willet to Mr.Olympia 1982 – Chris Dickerson.

In his prime, Dickerson had the following body stats:

Chris-Dickerson

Height:

5’6” (168cm)

Weight:

190 lbs (86kg)

Body fat levels:

5,00%

To summarize: Jeff Willet is an inch taller than Chris Dickerson and weighed about 8lbs more in a contest condition.

A logical question arises:

How is it possible for a natural bodybuilder to be as big as a former IFBB pro and Mr.Olympia?

Let’s compare Jeff Willet to another IFBB pro from the Hall Of Fame – Mr. Olympia 1983 Samir Bannout. In his prime, Samir Bannout had the following body stats:

349px-Smaeer_Bannout

Height:

5’8” (173cm)

Weight:

210 lbs (95.5kg)

Bodyfat levels:

5,00%

Note: The stats of Samir Bannout are taken from bodybuilding.com {source}. In Wikipedia Samir Bannout was listed as 190lbs @ 5’7”.

To summarize: Samir Bannout is an inch taller than Jeff Willet and 10lbs heavier.

At 198 lbs and 5% BF, the lean body mass of Willett is 188.1 lbs (95% of 198lbs)

At 210 lbs and 5% BF, the LBM of Bannout is 199.5 lbs (95% of 210lbs)

The difference in lean body mass between Samir Bannout and Jeff Willet is 11.5lbs.

If the difference between a Mr.Olympia and a natural bodybuilder is only 11.5lbs why would anyone take drugs?

2. Jeff Willet looks like a comic character

Jeff Willett’s body is full, ultra shredded, grainy, conditioned and looks composed in Photoshop. That alone is a sign that something is going on.

Natural bodybuilders have a hard time achieving this look.

    Yeah, but if you’ve ever seen him talking about his nattiness on video, he’s a really really really good liar. Absolutely believable. Makes me wonder if he’s actually a girl in disguise. Could that be possible? Because body language experts say that men are typically horrible liars, no where near as good as women.

    As a previous member of his gym in Adrian, MI. I can say if he’s going to say he’s natural then I’m going to believe him. For him to build his entire career on a lie, I think that’s a bit much for anyone to handle for so long.

      Well you’re retarded if you believe him.

    TOTALLY RIDICULOUS AND RETARDED TO BELIEVE THIS DUDE IS EVEN CLOSE TO NATURAL. IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM IS THE HUMAN BODY CAPABLE OF HOLDING THAT MUCH QUALITY MUSCLE AFTER A DIET THAT LASTS FROM 12-16 WEEKS GETTING READY FOR A BB SHOW. IF HES TELLING THE TRUTH THEN WHY DOES HE LOOK TOTALLY EMACIATED AND ALL DRAWN OUT NOW? DUH…BECAUSE HES OFF THE MAJORITY IF NOT ALL OF WHAT HE WAS TAKING WHEN HE WAS COMPETING! FOR YOU YOUNG GUYS OUT THERE WHO ARE ON THE FENCE ABOUT HIS TRUTHFULNESS…TRY TO GET THE WAY HE LOOKS IN HIS COMPETITION PHOTOS….YOU WILL NEVER EVER EVEN COME CLOSE. THERE IS AN OLD SAYING WHEN IT COMES TO A CONVICTED MURDERER SENTENCED TO LIFE IN PRISON DESPITE ALL THE EVIDENCE AGAINST THEM…”THEY WILL LIE UNTIL THE DAY THEY DIE.” SAME THING APPLIES TO GUYS LIKE WILLETT, O’HEARN, LA COUR, ASHLEY, TITO RAYMOND, COLEMAN (CHECK OUT THE NEON SIGN ON THE FRONT OF METROFLEX GYM THAT SAYS “HOME OF THE DRUG FREE MR.OLYMPIA) LENARTOWICZ AND COUNTLESS OTHERS. ABSOLUTELY LUDRICRUS LIES. TOTAL BULLSHIT. THEY JUST WANT YOU TO THINK THEY ARE BETTER THAN YOU IN EVERY WAY, SHAPE AND FORM. ITS OK…THEY ALL WILL HAVE SOME EXPLAINING TO DO IN THE NEXT LIFE!!!! “THOU SHALT NOT LIE!”

    Jeff Willet is not Natural because he used Pro-Hormones in the late 1990’s;. However, if the accusation is that he used Steroids, I would be inclined to think not, and this article offers nothing to persuade me otherwise.
    Jeff’s best year was 2003 when he won the Team Universe and his IFBB pro-card. At this point Jeff had been training for 15 years solid and latterly was Employed/ sponsored /mentored by AST; he had access to the best of everything. Jeff was 5’7”and 198lbs onstage.
    To properly compare Jeff, we need people of similar height during the same era who had access to the same training knowledge and supplements; compare Jeff’s stage weight with some of his roided peers:

    Jeff Willet – was 5’7”and 198lbs

    Branch Warren – 5’6”, 245lbs (+47lbs)
    Dennis James – 5’8”, 258lbs (+60lbs)
    Kai Greene – 5’8”, 260lbs (+62lbs)
    Shawn Rhoden 5’10”, 240lbs (+42lbs)

    It’s worth mentioning that both Shawn Rhoden and Kai Greene competed naturally against Jeff in the Team Universe. Kai won the overall in 1999 and again in 2004 with 2004 being his best year. At the 2004 Team Universe, Kai was apparently 226lbs onstage and whilst not quite as ripped as Jeff was the previous year, he was very impressive and 18lbs bigger at a similar height. Shawn Rhoden competed in the Team Universe at 198lbs like Jeff but placed consistently behind him.

    What is interesting with both Shawn and Kai is that when they started using steroids, they both gained about 45lbs in stage weight. This drug-aided weight gain makes their previous “Natty” status credible and if that is the case then why couldn’t Jeff Willet’s physique be natural especially given all the advantages Jeff had through his association with AST.
