Bernard Hopkins: Soda is like liquid crack
Collapse

I respect that. Me and a buddy went fishing once and he brought two bottles and that's when I first tried it. After that, any time drinking was involved, I brought it with me. I'd put it in a Gatorade bottle since they have similar colors. LolComment

Aye - and Mayweather Sr., unlike Hopkins, does anabolic stuff like lift-weights, and stays in a caloric-surplus. He's not trying to cut weight, and diet to stay on weight.
His diet prolly isn't even all that clean - lol remember him eating taco bell drinking sodas, etc.
He also has world class, A1 genetics, and incredible insertions (at least his biceps).
My money is Mayweather Sr. also being on TRT.Comment

Simple sugars like Coke cause an instant insulin spike but then your blood sugar drops even lower than it was before you drank that soda. So you get hungry and you eat... And people who drink sodas daily also usually daily eat McDonald's, KFC and all that ****.
Hopkins is absolutely right. His commitment to his craft has always been amazing. A 100% athlete.Comment

Yeah in the 24/7 or "road to" or whatever programme was the lead up to the Kovalev fight, he seemed to eat really well whilst still sticking to a diet. It'd be interesting to see how he made middleweight for so long.Sugar is bad for you. ****ty for your body + addictive so yea Bhop makes sense.
Randomly Bhop should get a food show or do something with healthy diet stuff. Write a book about it maybe or something in that world cuz he's deep down the good healthy eating habits rabbithole & is someone worth listening to from just the random tidbits I've heard him speak on over the years.
Light-heavy he probably didn't need to diet so hard even with his later age.Comment

It doesnt matter man if Hopkins was on a caloric restrictive diet which he isnt he only cuts water weight now as he walks around no more than 185 pounds and doesnt cut much even if he was on the diet on he would still be more muscular with TRT, look at those MMA fighters who were cutting weight more than B hop and on TRT and were still jacked you can do calisthenics and get huge if you are taking testosterone, any type of workout will build muscle when you take test.Well, you gotta remember, Hopkins, unlike your regular gym-rat in his 50's+ who is on TRT, is in a CALORIC DEFICIT in order to lose/maintain weight (Hopkins rehydrates to around 190 on FN).
Moreover, Hopkins doesn't do heavy resistance-training. He prolly does calisthenics, some very lightweight stuff, and that's it.
Just about everything Hopkins does to train for a fight is CATABOLIC, rather than ANABOLIC.
And it's also about genetics - Hopkins just doesn't have good insertions.
I'm sure if Hopkins got on a caloric-surplus diet, and did anabolic stuff (weight-lifting), he would look more what you would expect somebody on PEDS to look like.
you wont be super huge like mr olympia whoa re jacked on gear but you will be muscular and lean like a greet statue for sure.
Here is Vitor Belfort before and after he is only 39 years old for crying out loud, before he was on TRT look how muscular and jacked he was even his face has muscles and this was moderate TRT dosages they even did blood work on him so his test didnt get too high he had an exemption, then when they banned TRT look at his muscles flat and he lost the swole look and his face no longer has the strong jaw muscles
Hopkins body looks like Vitor without TRT in 2017

Hopkins is also 50 - ten years older. If you look at pics from his younger years, you can see he was a bit more muscular. Even if you're on TRT, the more you age, the less muscle you will carry. Coupled with the fact Hopkins stays in a catabolic state while training and fighting.
You're entitled to your opinion, and there's no way I can prove he's on TRT, or any type of pro hormone type drugs.
I think that he is absolutely on TRT, and has been for the past 5-8 years.
Look at James Toney - he got popped for nandrolone, and you'd never have guessed he was on anything looking at his build. Lol.
I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.Last edited by Cheek busting; 04-12-2017, 03:37 PM.Comment
