Don't compare yourselves to steroid users.

I always used to lol at his sig

"for all you lil faggots with the routine of benchpress and curls daily listen up....... If I walk into the gym and your in the squat rack doing fuggin curls, u better prey Im feelin like a nice guy that day or your about to experiance a special treat from my bag of trick which includes loud dropping"

Maybe he should have a routine for his pathetic bench press, so it wouldn't be so pathetic for a fat ass


And it was a hook grip you retards, a favorite of steroid users because their grip/forearm strength doesn't increase as rapidly as their lats/traps/legs. The more you know

He was on roids?
"Performance during stretch-shortening cycle exercise is influenced by the visco-elastic properties of the muscle-tendon units. During stretching of an activated muscle, mechanical energy is absorbed in the tendon structures (tendon and aponeurosis) and this energy can subsequently be re-utilized if shortening of the muscle immediately follows the stretching. According to Biscotti (2000), 72% of the elastic energy restitution action comes from tendons, 28% - from contractile elements of muscles.

I didn't say that, as I don't want the slight possibility of falsely accusing someone. You can decide for yourself.

OH SHIT..... HE ON DAT JUICEEEEE NIKKKKKK*****


Ok so you're just jealous.

You accused him of being a 'fat ass' and a steroid user when you said 'Don't compare yourselves to steroid users.'

But does anyone know how taking steroids (albeit there being differet types), improve STRENGTH rather than MASS? Is strength als increased by testosterone? You need strong ass tendons to be storng, but you can be huge and have weak ass tendons and weak ass explosion.

Sure he did gain mass, at 225 he was lifting 800 that's beast.. So I gess if he didn't gain any mass but just got stornger you can't accuse someone of steroids.


Jonathan Edwards WR holder for triple jump for instance. How can you accuse him of steroids? He's a skinny white dude who could powerclean 300.

So this needs to be cleared up. He's not overmusculed at all, his arms are small, back huge typical of a deadlifter,

but in all seriousness, how does steroids increase lat/trap/leg mass faster than grip/forearm strength? I'd think if you're DLing consistenyl they all go up. ANd not to repeat myself, but for someone who can deadlift 800, he's tiny

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.

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.

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.

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.

Traps/Lats/Legs/Shoulders have more androgen receptors than your forearms, that's why steroid users always have huge traps and small forearms compared to their upper arms.

 - 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.

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

  Some guys use the hook grip because they dont want to tear the biceps tendon, as the hand thats reversed in the mixed grip puts it in more danger, especially if there is reason to think that their tendons might not be coming along as fast as the muscles.  Some use it because its comfortable, and they feel they can get a higher start with it. 
Relax.
