That's what I say. How do these guys spend seven months running and playing and get bigger? They're taking something.
They're taking what ?
See Im usually on the Lakers board and I have posted a lot of threads about this subject in General.
Pages and Pages of it .
From B.Bonds to Mitchell report to the NBA .
But honeslty , some of these replies is a bit funny since they are based on the players size and body .
For example
Steriods are used to treat conditions that occur when the body produces abnormally low amounts of testosterone, such as delayed puberty and some types of impotence or for bigger mass .
Basically players like D.Howard which has been coming up a lot on here .
He is a freak of nature , he is big , thats his genetics .
He is a young man , he doesnt need steriods , you know why because he is young and his body is buildin a high volume of it , if he does start using roids , then his body will stop producing it naturaly ........ Why would he do that ............
He isnt a football player or a Hockey player .
He is a B.Ball player .
Imagine the side effects that D.Howard will put on his YOUNG BODY if he did use Roids .........
Shrinking of the testicles .
Why cause , if and when you choose to Juice , Your body will lock down your natural cycle of test that it produces .......Unheard of since D.Howard isnt a bobybuilder .
He is a ball player , a Basketball player .
Reduced sperm count .
Again he is too young to Juice even if he did decided to .
Yes I do know that a lot of athletes at a young age do Juice but those are guys that dont have the advantages that players like Maggette or D.Howard have .
I have seen many young KIDS juice in my gym , but those guys are mostly football playes , wretlers and a bunch of kids who want to get BIG and BUFF mostly for their apperance , but since they are young and some of them stack to much and dont have any idea what they are getting into they are taking risks of infertility, baldness, development of breasts, increased risk for prostate cancer at an age that their body is building its own level of testosterone .
Its called puberty.
Okay next topic , since someone on here posted .....
He cant be taking Roids , since people that Juice , they are always hurt and D.Howard isnt hurt .............LOLLLLLLLL
What's the difference between steroids and HGH ?
For starters ...... If you use Roids or Juice .
Your trying to gain Mass , Size , and strenght .
Thats if you use roids now if you use HGH then its different .
Treatment with HGH does seem to reduce body fat and increase muscle mass but not a much as Roids will .
HGH possibility is that the drug really does enhance performance but that the effect is too subtle to measure in a an elite athlete might be able to detect very slight improvements in strength and agility that would be invisible since its basically used to the increase in lean body tissue caused by HGH for better recovery , surgeries , faster way to loose weight , denser bones, thicker skin, less fat, and more lean body tissue.
See a man in his 40s 50s or 60s your HGH levels fall off as we get older; 60-year-olds might make half as much growth hormone as they did in their 20s , thats why as we get older its harder for us to lose weight or recover from an injury , but a a young man in his 20s or 30s wont need it unless your a pro athlete and your injured and you need a faster time to recover , thats why a lot of younger players in Baseball used HGH .
Also older players to , since they need that step to stay ahead of the younger players .
While HGH isn't as bad for you as anabolic steroids, it does have some minor side effects.
The reason I know about these two subject is because I was small in high school .
When I was 16 I weight 145 pounds and I was 5.5 , so I wanted to get big since I didnt think I was going to get tall .
I did a lot of research on this subject and I wrote a term paper on and I was about to use it , until an older guy at the gym advised me to stay away from it since Im only 16 .
He told me to give it some time and allow my body to grow until Im 22 or 23 .
So I did , I am now 6.1 and I weight 210 pounds with a body fat of 7.5 to 8.0% .
Oh ya Im 37 years old .
I hope I helped a little with this post , and forgive me for a few mistakes of my grammar or facts .
Again I hope I helped a bit .
Not only it was wrong but it was funny .
