Steroid issue from a "personal" viewpoint

[diddle]

If after 6 months of working out you had power number to rival Bonds, then after 2 years of working out you would be a world champion weightlifter or powerlifter.

And you got this strong while losing weight and going on 5 hours of sleep?

This is very odd for a few reasons:

1. Champion Olympic weightlifters don't even train 3-4 hours per day. It burns out the CNS.

2. Champion Olympic weightlifters sleep 9+ hours per day to recover from their workouts.

3. The HW olympic weightlifters eat 4500+ calories per day because gaining strength is hard to do while losing weight.

4. Champion Olympic weightlifters for the last 40 years have used steroids between meets and the Olympics.

So, you became insanely powerful while defying all convention, and all the while, you did not use steroids.

I don't mean to be slamming you, but what you have said does not mesh with anything I know.

I am curious, what were your power numbers BEFORE you blew out your shoulder? What were your power numbers after 6 months of working out?

Also, it is not possible to put on 30 LBS of muscle in a 4 month off-season without anabolics. If you don't believe that most of the superstars of the past dozen years have been juicing, then there is wool over your eyes.

Caminiti admitted it. Canseco admitted it. Giambi apologized for it. Palmerio was caught. Somehow Bonds made the most dramatic transformation of them all, and he did not use steroids?
