Pictures of Pacquiao from 120lbs to 144lbs

[jrosales13]

From 128.5 to 130 theres a huge differance

The time frame from those 2 pics are 11 months apart. Is possible for a fighter to get in good shape in 11 months.

Also look at Oscar body when he fought Sturm compare to his next fight against Hopkins. You would see a huge different also.

also befoere you reach 25 your body (including skull) is still growing and some vary more than others. If you look at pac after 25 which was around Marquez I fight, then there really is little to no change, outside of picking up a little extra weight, in Manny's physique.

That should be the real question...from 25 and up because from a biological viewpoint your body stops growing. Barry Bonds head and physic changed dramatically after 30, so that is why he was under suspension during his playing days.

Manny was just another of the worlds top fighters and stuggling with guys at 130 , 18 months later he is beating top 147 pounders .

This much improvement in only 18mths = PEDS

I wonder why he flat refuses a simple random test = PEDS

wtf are you talking about??? he struggle with a LEGEND vs morales in the first fight then whooped his ass the next 2...

went toe to toe with another LEGEND with marquez KD'd 4 times, if anything they shouldve been yelling STEROIDS when he KD'd JMM THREE time in the first fight.

morales and marquez in their weight classes are ATGs you dumbass

[DonTaseMeBrah]

the head size is the same you lying scum bag. look at the pictures you are taking. you choose the first picture where he is at a distance then all of your pictures are close ups.

plus the picture you use for the oscar fight is edited. you used a picture that was edited by puntoy haf a user here who photoshopped the picture to make pac's head bigger & turned oscar skinny.

there is no difference in size head.

here is pac weighing for the first morales fight, march 2005

Not bashing philliphino,s but most of them have large heads for there bodies... And in some of those pics manny wasn,t in the greatest shape... A conditioning coach will bring your conditioning to the max if your committed...

Human Growth Hormone and Pro Athletes, Perfect Together
March 4, 2007 by Sal Marinello
Filed under The Healthy Skeptic


Here is a list of reasons as to why HGH – right now – is the ideal drug for athletes. With the latest edition of the steroids in sport scandal that involves professional athletes from Major League Baseball, as well as other sports, people need to understand why these supplements are desirable to pro athletes.

And you won’t get this kind of info if you depend on the mainstream media and sports news outlets…

Body builders have enjoyed the benefits of human growth hormone, used in conjunction with a variety of other anabolic agents, for over 20 years but only in recent years have legit athletes started to catch on to this “better” kind of performance enhancing drugs.

1) HGH provides a potent anabolic effect; it builds muscle. Without turning this into a biochem lesson – especially since that’s way over my head – suffice to say that HGH increases the body’s ability to synthesize protein, and that this allows for muscle tissue to be built. HGH use produces the holy grail of all anabolic benefits, hyperplasia. Hyperplasia is the permanent increase in the amount of muscle cells. Over the years there have been many steroids that were alleged to result in creating new muscle cells, but HGH is the substance that actually delivers this incredible benefit. HGH also increases the size of existing muscle cells.

So with HGH you have a situation where the size of existing muscle cells are increased AND a permanent creation of new muscle cells. So a person could go on a cycle of HGH therapy, which would create new muscle cells that remain after HGH therapy stops. The longer the person remains on this regimen the more new muscle cells will be produced. This person would then have more muscle than he did before the therapy and reap all of the performance benefits that come with increased muscle even after the end of therapy.

Additionally, HGH has a positive strengthening affect on connective tissues such as ligaments, tendons and cartilage and at an accelerated rate. Old injuries will heal and these tissues will be strengthened which can potentially minimize future injuries as well. There is no doubt that human growth hormone therapy is being used in conjunction with the surgery and rehab of professional athletes, which has had the effect of getting athletes back on the field quicker than ever. These connective tissue benefits make HGH much more attractive than the use of old school steroids, as steroids only positively affect muscle tissue, while having a negative effect on connective tissue.

2) HGH provides metabolic benefits such as helping the body burn more fat than usual, and serves as a protein-sparing agent as well. HGH administration triggers the release of fatty acids from fat stores and the body winds up burning more fat than carbohydrates to meet energy requirements. This is why athletes on HGH can have extremely low levels of body fat while maintaining extremely high levels of muscle mass.

Without drugs, there is a kind of equilibrium between body fat and muscle mass. If body fat is too low a person’s muscle mass will decrease as well. HGH also has an anti-catabolic effect (protein sparing), which means that muscle protein isn’t broken down during periods of intense exercise or in the case of calorie restriction. This anti-catabolic effect means that athletes can recovery quicker from competition and training.

3) HGH is legal and can be acquired and administered by a physician, and as a result, the intelligent athlete can use medical privacy regulations to avoid the spotlight. The dose at which HGH is effective is small, which minimizes risk and – in most cases – allows the physician to avoid breaking any laws or breaching any ethical standards.

Additionally, due to the stresses of professional sports there is a very good chance that most – if not all athletes – would test for low hormonal levels during their season. This means HGH can be administered in order to normalize an athlete’s levels. This kind of the****utic dose can provide enormous benefits to an athlete during their season. This is an important distinction to make. If an athlete does test for low HGH levels – which most would or could – this is a case of using HGH as it is intended and not abusing it.

There are doctors all across the country that are openly practicing this kind of medicine. One could argue that these doctors are incorrect in their uses of HGH, but this argument doesn’t seem to hold any more weight than the counter argument that there are no appropriate “off-label” uses of HGH. These are the major reasons as to why HGH is so popular among athletes.

There are other reasons as well, but this is enough for now. And it is worth noting that testosterone when used in similarly appropriate doses, in conjunction with HGH is an extremely potent supplement ****tail from which all athletes would benefit greatly.

Remember, this isn’t an effort to rationalize or justify the use of HGH and testosterone. I am simply recognizing and pointing out reasons why athletes – or anybody who works out for that matter – would find these substances so desirable. What I will say is that when you understand what these drugs can do for athletes, and understand the nature of risks involved with playing professional sports – especially football – the case can be made that some supplementation may be appropriate and even necessary.
