Chris Bell spoke with his father in his PED documentary Bigger Faster Stronger. Dad was the biggest asshole in a movie full of them, and he was in total denial that the pharmacy full of antidepressants that young Taylor was on had nothing to do with his suicide, and that it was all the juice. The two stories cited by Anon are measures from the same song, and something I've observed in my 40 years of weight training: steroids don't make you a jerk, but it's mostly jerks that take steroids; of course, that's absent any financial reason to use, like pro athletes.

I understand that they offend our Anglo sense of fairness--this is why they call it cheating--but if every athlete has access to these drugs, aren't we back to genetic advantages possessed by some which make them more competitive? I suppose some athletes might not want to dope, for health reasons down the line, and they would pay for this choice by being less competitive. I used to work with a junior and college hockey player and he said absolutely everyone who wants to make it to the show does it. The incentives are way too huge to expect anyone to refrain from it for any reason other than health concerns. <br /><br />Clearly some Hollywood actors dope to make themselves more attractive. This somehow isn't considered cheating, and no one wails because they couldn't resist the temptation. <br /><br />Everyone (every sports fan) enjoys witnessing the results of these drugs. No one wants to turn back the clock on wondrous athletic feats and watch only "all-natural" jocks.

There are subtle differences between each competitive class. Bikini girls are the ones seen in most of the fitness magazines. They have a nice 6 pack, and a tight and toned athletic look. Fitness and figures girls are more muscular, with deeper separation between muscles, and a bit more of a “jacked’ look. Bodybuilders pack on as much muscle as they can, and looked striated, vascular, shredded or ripped and physique is somewhere between bodybuilding and figures. Looking at the women bodybuilders, you can kind of tell they must be doing something to enhance their physique, but I was shocked to learn how many fitness and bikini girls were also using physique enhancing drugs, or steroids to be exact!</a><br /><br />seriously steve, get on with the times.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-88031079385571176432013-02-05T00:20:53.395-08:002013-02-05T00:20:53.395-08:00Why in the world are you trying to figure if athle...Why in the world are you trying to figure if athletes are on PEDs by looking at how ripped they are?

He finsihed off Brock Lesnar with ONE roundhouse kick, which broke three of Brock's ribs ending the fight immediately by TKO. Then he celebrated his win by applauding himself and inviting the audience to do the same. <br /><br /> Anyway, he got busted, got his license rescinded and had to go off. One year latter he appears 25 lbs lighter and with far less muscular difinition - indicating higher bodyfat levels -, and gets brutally KOd by tier-B heavyweight, Andtonion "Big Foot" Silva - the same guy who brutally knocked out former NFL player Travis Browne. <br /><br /> Personally, I think steroids should be legalized. I say let these guys take what they want and let them compete at their best. It's not cheating if everyone else is doing it and you don't have na "unfair"(is anything in life fair?) advantage. I want to see these guys at their biggest strongest and most aggressive. They are like gladiators anyway, so whatever harm the steroids do to them is small compared to all the hematoma and concussive damage they take.

...I was in the USMC infantry in the late 70's.<br /><br />Weightlifting was quite popular - the bases usually had excellent (for the time) weightlifting facilities.<br /><br />I knew lots of Marines back then who were pretty ripped. I never even heard of steroids back then.<br /><br />It isn't like any of those guys would have been keeping this secret - drug abuse in the military was absolutely rampant, pretty much winked at - this was before pee tests and whatnot. It was all pretty open. <br /><br />I can't imagine that if steroid use was widespread as were pretty humongous marines, I wouldn't have heard a little something about it. FWIW, I used to lift some, but I wasn't fanatical about it.<br /><br />Don't forget the other part of the equation to being ripped - low body fat percentage. Going on 20+ mile forced marches in full kit (this was before LAAV's, the pride didn't ride...) will keep you pretty darn slim. Even the most slovenly grunt could barely keep a few extra pounds on.<br /><br />Anyhow, it is possible, IMO, just a lot more work, to get to a highly bulked/ripped look w/out steroids.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-33380836153246090902013-02-04T20:00:45.427-08:002013-02-04T20:00:45.427-08:00"Apparently Lewis is also a murderer, but no ..."Apparently Lewis is also a murderer, but no one seems very concerned about that."<br /><br />Ray Lewis was never charged with murder, nor is there any evidence that he murdered anyone.Truthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17286755693955361308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-66011625720166922142013-02-04T16:58:22.605-08:002013-02-04T16:58:22.605-08:00"At 37 Griffey Jr. hit .277 with 30 hrs and 9..."At 37 Griffey Jr. hit .277 with 30 hrs and 93 RBI."<br /><br />At 37 Griffey Jr had a negative WAR.
