Anthony Joshue's Physique

[BigAlexSand]

I agree that he looks juiced to the gills, but I've always been of the assumption that the BBBoC tests their fighters all year round. He's also must have passed Olympic testing when he won his medal.

Exactly... And I have yet to hear about a large Steriod Ring in England pushing their athletes to use!

Anyway... Klitschko is obviously on steroids too, why don't people get angry at that?

Klitschko doesn't look like he's on roids, in fact he's not as ripped as he used to be.

If you follow him on any social media, he has the best diet I've ever seen.. that and he stays active nonstop. He's almost 40, so I would certainly hope he gained weight over the years like most boxers when they age.

honestly it's the most obvious case i've seen. he has HGH gut these days

230 pounds to 250 pounds at weigh in, from beginning professional fight to most recent fight (almost 2 years, slightly less).

This is physically impossible unless:

a) He was drained at 230, and re-hydrated at 250
b) He has never lifted a weight in his life, aka newbie gains (which obviously he has been lifting) --- so this one does not apply.


Yeah, you're not gaining 20 pounds of muscle just like that.


He's cycling harder than JMM.

You obviously do not know much about nutrition, hydration and body builds. Athletes who have the size Joshua has can easily gain or drop 20 pounds, easily. They're huge. If you knew your stuff, you would know that:

1) AJ did not gain 20lbs of pure muscle. His nutrition and hydration has improved. In essence, he ate and drank more. Of course he put some more muscle on, but can you see an extra 20 lbs more muscle on his body, lol? He is growing into his size.

2) Do you not remember when Wladimir weighed 224 lbs in 1998, then two years later he weighed 244 lbs? I guess he was on PEDs too.

Man don't bother with these guys.... I go to the gym 2 or 3 times a week. Joshua's physique is really not all that. These guys make him sound like he's a Mr Universe contender.

These beer gut arm chair guys are terrified of the thought that someone can get into amazing shape without cheating.

I have already created thread about his amazing physique...

He's literally a living "signs of steroid use" diagram and some people still deny it.

Guys who have never worked out and think you can look like that at 240 lbs just by going really hard I guess.

Drug testing in boxing is a joke. Fighters hire all these Memo Heredia types and just advertise it , in our faces, troll the commission with it.

Private enterprise is always 20 steps ahead of some slow state agency.

Again it reminds me of the Alistair Overeem saga. Anyone with eyes could see he was on every PED imaginable but you were "just jealous" til he got busted.

It's not a matter of being jealous (who even wants to look like that?) it's a matter of being around gyms and knowing what's humanly possible VS which guys shoot up 10 times per day and walk around lathered in perscription creams.

You obviously can't read--- perhaps you should focus on improving your reading comprehension instead of making wild assumptions about someone that are grossly incorrect. I know enough about cutting, bulking, and lifting weights. To Mr. workouts 2-3 times a week--- good for you! That makes you sound like a gym expert (I go 5-6 times a week, does that really freaking matter?). Worry about yourself, and not others, as they say.

I don't have a picture of him when he was 230 pounds vs. when he was 250 pounds. I don't know if he was dehydrated, or rehydrated at those weigh-ins. I don't know if he is carrying a higher fat % now (which I seriously doubt). The assumption was based on premise that AJ gained 20 pounds of muscles in slightly less than 2 years. He's not, "growing into his size" at the age of 24-26 years old when his body is basically fully developed. That weight change is either in: hydration, fat, or muscle mass.

Pick your choice.

I personally don't think he's necessarily roiding. Some have amazing genetics, this is Mike Tyson when he was 15,

Innocent until proven guilty for me, same with any other athlete. I do however, believe that if you test positive for PEDS, the fighter should be banned for life. This is boxing, where the objective is to beat your opponent up, not beat them in a race. A roided boxer could potentially cause serious harm.
