Did anyone else notice that hes doing mixed hook grip?

I feel like there was a topic on this before or maybe it was a post but I canât find it now. I forgot entirely that there are guys who do mixed hook grip. I can see his under hand hooking for sure.
Hook is already super secure so mixed hook wouldnât be more secure. If a lifter is used to a lifetime of mixed grip pulling like maybe the way they tighten their back and shoulders than mixed hook is close to that while offering the security of hook
So when ur juicy cardio is gains
Or maybe trying to stay healthy and counteract the negative effects is better than just taking more and more.
If someone asks if you take steroids say âno, I donât want to do cardioâ.

Just wanted to pop in and say⊠this guy is insanely powerful⊠wasnât he breaking records natty for a while? Or at the very least in a rigorously tester federation
Yeah, he was in the IPF/USAPL. If you look at what went on at USAPL nationals this year, I donât think very many of the top guys are clean. When you have 3 guy in one weight class squatting more than then untested all-time WR there is something wrong. And another guy benching 70-something pounds over the IPF bench record in his class. Maybe drugs donât really work?
For mass they certainly do⊠and for strength⊠but PEDâs are a tool thatâll primarily help you cater to specific goals based on youâre needs. You canât take gear the way say a marathon runner would (typically a low dose of deca for joints/recovery or a low dose of an oral to aid in RBC production) and train like a marathon runner, then say âhmmmm I donât look like Phil Heath, somethings up hereâ, this goes with weight classes too. Canât take gear but eat 1000 calories daily and wonder why youâre not pushing 70kg. Granted here is a cut off point here where gear over rides everything. If youâre taking a gram of tren, youâre goig to look sick and be strong as fuck no matter how youâre eating or training. At which point easy gains come with a huge price to be paid
John Haack certainly wasnt permablasting massive doses of tren prior to going untested thatâs for sure, he was a genetic freak⊠do I believe he was natty? Absofuckinglutely not⊠but I donât believe he was permablasting fat doses either. For him to do what he did⊠by using whatever he did is astounding
Saying tested lifters are not on PEDâs is like saying nobody in the NFL is on PEDâs because theyâre tested too.

Yes, but depending on how rigorous the testing is determines how often one can cycle/what they can get away with using. Youâre not going to find many tested athletes using deca/tren etc due to exorbitantly long detection times
For strength sports however orals appear to be king of the game, many of which have short detection windows, allowing the user to floop and yeet as they please depending on testing intervals
Test suspension is probs the easiest to get away with, as t/epit ratios supposedly return to normal within hours of dosing

Youâre kidding⊠I was almost SURE Reggie Bush was full natty

Of course, they wonât be able to just go freely with it and will have to time their cycles, but some people might compete once a year and spend the rest of the time blasting crazy amounts of steroids. You can still pack on mass and strength at a supraphysiological rate and maintain plenty of it as your levels return to normal, Iâm sure.
Somebody on here, I donât remember who or when, was like â99% of Proâs are drug-freeâ. It was funny. A good time was had by all.
I donât even give a shit about pro PED use. I think itâs closer to 99% of them are using or have used drugs, because thereâs millions of dollars on the line to be the best, and the risk is totally worth it, especially when the guy next to you is enhanced.
You can but many compounds like say nandrolone take 12-18 months to be out of youâre system, no go⊠if the affiliation requires you to be tested at random intervals youâre really put in a tight corner, as youâve got to wait til the last test, hope to god they donât pull a fast one and say test you the next day or so and use whatever you can with the shortest detection time, they test for traces/metabolites of hormones now too, not the mere blood concentration

I think itâs closer to 99.999999% at the top level in the world. I know someone who was in the Olympics for an intensive, predominantly anaerobic sport⊠within the few years they were at the Olympic level this person mysteriously and rapidly went bald⊠coinnncideeennce? PEDs donât simply relate to hormones either. Stimulants, beta blockers, beta 2 agonists etc you name it⊠they can all be abused for performance enhancement if the situation calls for it
Was it rowing? Those motherfuckers are in RIDICULOUS shapeâŠ
No, âtwas a water related sport though
Synchronized swimming, the anaerobicest of all sportses!

Also I should say in the realm of sports, I think many do vastly over and undermine the amount these guys use⊠no, theyâre not on just trt and some GH but theyâre not blasting grams year round either⊠such behaviour is primarily reserved to strongmen, bodybuilders and powerlifters in higher weight classes. The majority probably do come off when not competing barring powerlifters and bodybuilders
