He is a fat ass. I was careful to not accuse him of steroids. I'm just informing people not to compare themselves to steroid users.
But if you ask me if I think Hickson is on steroids, of course I do, but that's part of the sport he's competing in.
- Ok, haha, wel you DID accuse him of being a 'steroid' user, indirectly I suppose, but we were not talking about anyone else in this thread when you said not to compare yourself to it..moot point I don't really care about what you did or meant to say.
A bigger muscle is a stronger muscle. Tendon strength will increase over time, but not as rapidly as muscles so that's why steroids can be dangerous if you're lifting maximally.
-not true, a bigger muscle can be full of water, fat, and shit. Many bodybuilders use the same exact weight for months in order to shape the muscle differently and fill it up.
There's tons of steroids that greatly increase strength without a big increase in muscle mass. Stanozolol comes to mind, which is why it's used in sprinting and combat sports.
- very interesting, I have neevr done research on steroids, do you have any neat links about this? I know Harry Aikenes is on steroids, he admits it, but he's huge like 84kg.
He's 240 (250ish now I believe) pounds, which is fucking huge. It's not like he stayed small. He also has good proportions for deadlifting. His squat is less impressive and his bench is pathetic.
I didn't accuse Jonathan Edwards of taking steroids. I don't even know who that is.
Jonathan Edwards has crazy spring

Hm.. why do some people have trouble growing traps? ust low testosterone? My traps grow fairly easily but I deadlift easy
