Criticism does pour in from every corner in every field. But in the world of bodybuilding and fitness, one common criticism that often comes up is ‘Natty or Not’. This refers to if somebody has built their body naturally or by the use of steroids. In this context, a fitness influencer by the name of Charlotte has been called out by a person for using steroids to build her physique. Charlotte gave him a befitting reply, showing him that she is as natural as anyone gets.

Fitness influencer and coach Charlotte was perfectly aware that she has an average-sized physique. But despite that, when she could perform some intense bodybuilding and weightlifting activities, it raised doubt in this person’s mind.

Charlotte took to her Instagram and shared the comment she received from this person. It read, “She’s just pumped with Anavar”. Anavar, also called Oxandrolone, is an androgen and anabolic steroid medication which helps in weight gain. But Charlotte gave this troll a perfect reply by posting a video of her working out. Alongside, she wrote, “I’m as natty as you can get, but thanks for asking”. The deliberate polite-yet-confident clap back from her was evident in her words.

In the video, Charlotte is wearing her training outfit and lifting a long and heavy barbell. She picks it up at once, slightly lowering it, and then comfortable completing the weight lift. Just to sprinkle some salt on her hater(s) wounds, she added a video caption, “You can’t judge a women’s strength by her size”.

Charlotte further added in her Instagram caption, “Just your average-sized girl, training 5 days a week, eating 2,900-3,000 calories daily, and living the dream”. Her passion for bodybuilding was oozing throughout the whole post, be it her words or the video. While several other influencers like her go through the same rigmarole almost on a daily basis, the focus on their work eventually makes the trolling go away.

Charlotte did just that. She is also a hybrid athlete and gives fitness coaching to others. Charlotte dealt with her troll in a rather healthy way. But the question of being ‘natty or not’ has also been raised by several bodybuilders so far. Of late, 54-year-old bodybuilder Mike O’Hearn was triggered by this question from an interviewer. Natty or not, the love of bodybuilding cannot simply be eradicated among the passionate by some trolls online.
