hah ya, my fatigue was low, so on a whim i decided to just see what weight i could safely move without over-stressing.. 235 x 5 did feel unfortunately heavier than i imagined it would, but it wasnt too taxing.

had to test ;d

but ya, you're right.. that came a day or so after i posted that high rep reply in the Anti Ego Lifting Thread lmao.

Takes one to know one!

I suposedly replaced 3x5 squating with MSEM to keep them buffered and minimize time under tension.
First session i did 3x1@90% and 2x1@95% , and i said 95 could be pushing it too much.
Next session i did 3x1@90% and... 3x1@100+%, jsut because i felt good. So now quad bugs again.

   

AELSquad baby!!!

Requesting rage-comic emoticons.
Trollface and FUUUUUUU are must-have, all others welcomed. Animated would be interesting , but im perfectly fine with stills.

Some of the article is poorly researched/worded but you get the gist. Even though the article is referring to Bolt it applies to everybody else to.

This part of the article stood out to me.

A typical PED cycle would begin 12 weeks out from competition with the target date being the day prior to or of the competition. Along with the use of undetectable steroids and daily growth hormone injections, the athlete would also have his blood drawn on a daily basis to monitor his testosterone and rhGH ratios in an effort to keep them within Olympic World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) testing limits. Close monitoring of these ratios allow an Olympic sprinter such as Bolt to both use PEDs up to the day of competition while still comfortably submitting to multiple drug tests.
 
This isn’t evidence particular to Usain Bolt, as it could just as easily describe the protocol that every Olympic sprinter is using to pass the drug tests. However, it is mentioned simply to point out how easily Olympic athletes are able to pass an Olympic-level drug test, even with the highest levels of scrutiny. The bottom line is that if an athlete is within the permissible testosterone and rhGH ratios, he is deemed clean. The reality is that any athlete who doesn’t maximize his testosterone and rhGH levels to the maximum permissible level has no chance of breaking a world record.
 
For example, let’s assume that a talented NCAA sprinter has a testosterone ratio (testosterone: epitestosterone) of 1:1 which is considered normal, or average. The current WADA guidelines permit a ratio of up to 4:1. Given the fact that the only way for an NCAA sprinter to make any money sprinting is to win international competitions and garner endorsements, what reason could that NCAA sprinter possibly have for NOT quadrupling his testosterone ratio up to the maximum of 4:1? Using a number of undetectable steroid compounds, that same athlete would presumably see a major improvement in his sprint times without ever ‘testing positive’.

And this is the folly of drug testing: It gives ‘dirty’ athletes all the ammunition they need to proclaim themselves ‘clean’ — replete with Olympic level testing results.

The worst argument that anyone can make for Usain Bolt being a clean athlete is that he has yet to fail a steroid or other drug test, despite being subjected to rigorous drug testing protocols.
 
The reality is that most Olympic athletes have their blood levels so closely monitored that only an egregious miscalculation in the timing of a steroid injection or use of a masking agent (i.e. diuretics) to dilute the levels of a steroid within the blood would result in a positive test. This is the only reason why we rarely see positive tests for Olympic level athletes.
 
International steroid expert Anthony Roberts told Muscleweek: “With regards to fooling the Olympic drug tests, many of the same loopholes that existed ten to twenty years ago still exist today. Until those loopholes are closed, there will always be a shadow of doubt falling on the Olympics.”
 
Roberts continued, “Testosterone, hGH and most of the other highly potent anabolics are virtually undetectable — when we see a positive test and a tearfully apologetic athlete, he or she probably represents less than 1% of those who are actually using banned substances.”

United States Olympic Gold Medalist Marion Jones proudly proclaimed that she passed more than 160 drug tests in her career. The fact remains that she won three gold medals at the 2000 Olympics while passing the supposedly stringent requirements of Olympic WADA testing.

And yet, despite breaking world records in the 100m and 200m sprints; despite being romantically involved with and coached by Olympic shot-putter CJ Hunter who tested positive for steroids four times leading up to the 2000 Olympics and was subsequently banned by the ITAF; despite being romantically involved with and coached by Olympic sprinter Tim Montgomery who tested positive for steroids and was subsequently banned; despite training under track coach Trevor Graham who has been banned for life from track and field; and despite her affiliation with BALCO Labs and the insistence of BALCO president Victor Conte who admitted to injecting Marion Jones with steroids, the general public and sports ‘journalists’ were still gullible enough to believe that Marion Jones was in fact, a ‘clean athlete.’

Among his clients, Mr. Heredia identified 12 athletes who had won a combined 26 Olympic medals and 21 world championships. Four of the 12 athletes, including Ms. Jones, had been named and barred from competition for illicit drug use. Eight of the 12 — notably, the sprinter Maurice Greene — have never been previously linked to performance-enhancing drugs.

Mr. Greene, a two-time Olympic gold medalist and a five-time world champion, has never failed a drug test.

Answer: Usain Bolt hired the new incarnation of Angel Heredia to become his track ‘coach’ in 2009. Unfortunately for Mr. Heredia

good fights tonight on showtime boxing..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoEHQe2WCuY

i dont get why moralles is getting a rematch with garcia though?? odd.. first fight was good but it was obvious that garcia's youth/athleticism/speed was just too for moralles.

bailey/devon is going to be sick. i think devon is going to win tho.

garcia, devon, and kid chocolate = win.

They say that morales gave them opportunity and they want to repay favour. Morales said he had a bladder surgery, which put off his training and therefore he came heavy on the scales, that's why he was not the same he was when he was younger?, maybe.

Devon alexander is good, but if he gets caught by bailey's punch, he will go down, i hope morales wins, because he was winning the first few rounds, only later on the round he tired more quickly and therefore starting losing.

who's kid chocolate?

definitely going to be a good night of boxing.
