Guess whether male or Female!!

I figured someone as well respected as you on these boards wouldn't have such an ignorant opinion. Taking steroids doesn't put the muscle on for you-- as you still have to bust your *** in the gym. Sure, they can accelerate gains etc, but most of those guys were already huge before they started using and had been working out for a very long time.

Have you ever even been to a bodybuilding show? Competed? Do you know what its like to diet for 12-16 weeks all the way down to less than 5% bodyfat? They have more heart than 90% of the people out there. Also, besides a few exceptions, most of them are great people and more than willing to help out and give advice at shows.

Cyrus

Man, I have no respect for those steroid using bodybuilders. Sorry, I just dont.

Thats like me praising a scientist that cheated to get his award. Ant gonna happen.

I already said that they are nice people. But that does not make it any better!!

JasonRox

No, I do not take steroids and I never intend too.

It's not cheating because he's at a no testing level of bodybuilding. There are natural bodybuilding competitions, which he has won in the past.

You can't compare this to a scientist either. It makes no sense because they are completely different. The analogy doesn't even relate.

Anyways, your critical attitudes towards bigger guys at the gym clearly displays that you have personal issues to deal with. It's totally obvious in this thread.

Cyrus

Well, three cheers for that. Im glad you wont stoop to that level. Ive seen one to many a people do it.

Like I said, good for all natural. But now he's a junky using freakezoid. Just look at him man!

The point is, he has gone way beyond what a normal body should hold on its frame. He looks like a retarded meathead.

I said they are nice people, but they are dumbasses for taking roids to get as big as they are.

Your body just isint made to pump that much blood throughout it. He will get a heart attack, its just a matter of how far in the future.

JasonRox

Not the best choice, but neither is playing hockey for a living.

Both professions finish their careers with their own share of physical problems. Meanwhile both could have gone to school and get a better job, but making less money.

Personally, I'd rather make less money.

Also, it isn't about money either. It's usually for the love of it.

Cyrus

Dude, I love to workout and exercise too. But this guy is a clown!

When you bodybuild naturally and you become big thats great.

But when you feel like you need to get this freakishly big, you have problems. He might have Muscle Dysmorphia. Who in their right mind would want to become a freak of nature like that?

JasonRox

I have no idea.

But who in there right mind would study science day in and day out? That's the same question he can ask us.

We have our issues, but I don't think he suffers anything psychologically regarding his size. Arnold Schwarznegger (spelling?) seems pretty good to me. You never hear about him obessing about his size and he was quite large in the past. So, if he had Muscle Dysmorphia, wouldn't he still display that disorder?

Cyrus

Well, we are trying to advance society by making meaningful contributions. This guy is a mere freakshow for people to spectate and point at.

Dude, have you see arnold next to these guys? He's TINY! Arnold was no where near as big as these freaks are today!

shmoe

He also might not have Muscle Dysmorphia.

Dunno, who in their right mind would want to pierce their nipples or nose? One persons freakish might be anothers idea of awesome. It doesn't mean that there's something mentally wrong with the person you (or even the majority of people) consider "freakish". He may even consider himself freakish, but enjoys entertaining his fans and is willing to make this sacrifice.

Is entertainment not considered a meaningful contribution?

JasonRox

Just because they are bigger doesn't mean they are at a higher risk of Muscle Dysmorphia. The was to show that there are lots of people getting big without that disorder.

It's almost as if you'd go to the gym running around yelling at girls, who are thin and working out, about how they may be suffering from mental disorders like anorexia because they want to be thin.

In the case of a pro hockey player, probably much, much less money . An NHLer will probably make more in their first 5-10 years then they would over an entire career of something else they are capable of. This is more a reflection on their high wages then their ability to do other jobs (many are very intelligent, and very hard working).

But yeah, love of the game. Even with broken bodies, I wonder how many pro hockey players keep playing after retirement, I'd expect most.

JasonRox

They'd play casually, but that's about it. I doubt any of them would play rough after retiring.

A goalie on TSN once said that every NHL goalie retires with atleast one replaced knee cap, meanwhile both of his are artificial. Hockey players take a lot of damage to their bodies with great pain, meanwhile also always being away from family. I don't think I love the game that much to go through it though.

Cyrus

Look at how much bigger he is than arnold.....

Evo
