When physical specimens like Brock Lesnar, Batista or HHH, are spoken
about, it is often assumed that they use steroids. Why is it so?

Is it not possible to get a Venice Beach type body without supplements?
Especially for example, if one uses Periodization or other such methods
in their training.

Also, why are steroids illegal anyway. Unlike cocaine, for example, it
is not a drug that impairs rational thinking. I do not understand why
steroids should be illegal wheras Creatine wouldn't be.

On a related note - why are steroids often associated with injuries?

Well for one, the WWE has had a history of steroid use among their
wrestlers. Secondly, size and strength are considered two very
important traits in their business. I'm sure there's a lot of pressure
put on them just like NFL and MLB players.

If you have the right genetics, the right training, the right feeding
and adequate rest, I don't see why you couldn't have a good build but a
good build is really subjective in my mind. Can you look like Ronnie
Coleman without supplements even if you have the right genetics? I
doubt it.

Well, like cocaine, steroids have been shown to have negative effects on
one's health in the long term so government agencies make it illegal in
order to "protect" their citizens.

Because they all are heavy juicers.

Technically, if you have *SUPERB* genetics, you can theoretically get a
Venice Beach type body naturally. If you look at the guys who win the
national natural bodybuilding competitions, they are absolutely cut and
they do it without the use of steroids. They guys (1) have
unbelievable genetics and (2) devote their LIVES to working out.

For the other 99.999% of us who don't have such genetics and don't have
time to workout 5-6 hours a day, you will never get "Venice Beach"
ripped without the aid of steroids.

Don't ask me to defend this nation's drug policy. However, there are
costs to taking steroids. I've known people that have been into them,
and it does affect their personalities. Steroids are addicting in that
its hard to go natural after having used them. When you get 3x the
gain for working 1/2 as much, it's hard to go back to busting your ass
for small gains. I've never taking them because I simply don't want
that physique, I have no moral or ethical judgment on those who do.
It's their choice.

> On a related note - why are steroids often associated with injuries?

Because the muscles grow quicker than the tendons and ligaments that
support them.

John Cena used to win all-natural bodybuilding competitions. His type of
body is about as good as you can hope for without being a genuine
genetic freak and without taking anything.

Steroids are a prescription drug that can be used in small amounts to
help recovery from muscle damage, or even with acne problems. They are
not designed to be consumed in vast quantities to pack on massive
amounts of extra muscle, and when you do that you do just as much damage
to your body as any other illegal drug.

> On a related note - why are steroids often associated with injuries?

The freakish amounts of muscle a guy like HHH builds through using
steroids, HGH etc is too much, basically. The muscle fiber is there, but
it's not particularly "good" muscle, and so it's prone to tearing much
more than healthy muscle is. This is how both Hunter and Vince managed
to tear their quads just by walking.

Let's be fair here. Vince tore his standing up. HHH and Nash tore
their walking. And Batista tore his bicep doing a clothesline then again
jogging with his wife.

Define "Venice Beach type body"

Err, that could be argued but yes, "roid rage" is more a myth then a
fact.

When Woody Strode was around, there were no Steroids. He was jacked to
the moon.

That would be wrong.

He was lean with some decent muscle for the time, but far far from
"jacked."

Not if one is a wrestler on the road 300+ days a year. These guys are
HYOOGE, and the pro bodybuilders who get that big pretty much just train,
eat, and sleep. Wrestlers can't exactly do that.

And how many 'designers' have you spoken to? what about the original

What about small to moderate quantities? Or is the world black and white

So testosterone = heroin....time for you to cut off that remaining

Lol! Is that what was written on the toilet paper after you finished
wiping? (assuming you even use paper)

There is a real explaination for this, but you're pulling this out of
your bum.

To be fair, I consider AAS used in sports where they are banned as
cheating and a reprhensible practice.

No, his physique tended more to the "barrel-chested" variety -- a lot
of innate strength due to his frame, but not much muscular definition.

Also, he had a goatee.

Jack,
You are a moron. There is no such thing as "roid rage." It is painfully
obvious that you know NOTHING about anabolic steroids, so why comment?

More lies.

Once again, more lies. You have to train harder for steroids to work.
They allow you to train harder and recuperate faster. Stop commenting on
things that you know NOTHING about. Moron.

So the dozens of studies, hundreds of doctors, and thousands of
first-hand testimonials about "roid rage" are all made up, are they?

You end up with some people with very fragile personalities turning to
steroids to try and improve their self esteem. These people had anger
problems before the steroids. These folks are also of the 'I'm not
responsible, it was <insert excuse here>' type mindset, and the steroids
are an easy excuse. I've not experienced 'roid rage', and I suspect it's
very similar to 'reefer madness' (the people who are coming out and
saying that marijuana use increases the risk of developing schizophrenia
are DELIBERATELY confusing correlation with causation to manipulate
people for political ends, and it really really ***** me when people who
KNOW BETTER, such as doctors, decide that it's okay for them to lie to
and manipulate people who trust them because "they know what's best for
us"). Stop being such a sheep, Freezer.
