Check out AJ's new physique

[GelfSara]

one of hte most obvious drug cheats in all of boxing.

Could you please enlighten me as to why you believe Anthony Joshua to be a PED-user?

Fat or muscles do the same. The body has to feed those muscles. The body has to carry that far.
Just need a good in-between.

So--muscle is essentially dead weight, in your opinion?

What does the body use to carry muscle (or fat)?

[GelfSara]

No, he is talking about cardiovascular stamina. Stamina in terms of boxing that is different to the strength resistance training that you would require in order to increase the press you speak of. To put 50lbs extra on the bar is not going to do anything for you in terms of improving your cardio. If anything it will deplete your cardio as more muscle mass requires more oxygen and leads to faster build up of lactic acid in your system.

So, if I want to perform as many reps as possible with a dumbbell of a given weight it is advantageous to strengthen my shoulders and triceps, but if I want to run a mile faster it is disadvantageous to strengthen my legs?

What sizes have you been?
I was 6'4 290 all fat. Then I was 250 all muscle. I did lot of cardio at both weights. One when I was trying to lose weight. One when I was trying to cut weight.
I've now settled on 225 because I feel better when doing cardio and overall.

Just my opinion.

you are full of s hit. you do not put on muscle when you get older. you lack the chemistry. if you were able to put muscle on naturally into your 30's THERE WOULD BE NO NEED FOR PED'S

U should post a picture of yourself with the caption “U can’t put muscle on naturally into ur 30s without PEDs” and see how well it goes over.

[Blond Beast]

wtf he looks deflated. like he got off steroids thats the look of someone who got off roids he used to have those full muscle bellies now he looks like someone stuck a pin in him

So what’s he going to weigh?

[nacho daddy]

Let me see if I understand you correctly. If a 50 year-old man comes to me and asks me to be his personal trainer, and I ask him what his goals are, and he tells me that he has been staying in reasonable shape due to boxing training such as bag work, sparring, running and sit-ups, but that now he wants to gain muscle mass, if I tell him he can accomplish this without using drugs I am either lying or mistaken?

yes you are lying or mistaken . you have to take chemicals at that age that your body DOES NOT MAKE ANYMORE to gain muscle mass. if a 50 year old guy can go into a gym to gain muscle mass without drugs why the f#ck would a 23 year old guy need juice? why do body builders in their 20's use it if they can gain muscle without it? you are insane

OK why do people use PED's if they don't need them? why do pro body builders use juice in their 20's knowing it will kill them if they don't need it? do you realize what you are saying?

Nobody “has” to take anything. Gear increases the rate/efficiency u build muscle. Muscle also uses up calories to be maintained, so added muscle can help u lean out. So anyone who wants to add muscle faster than they normally would, might consider it right? It’s that simple. Pro bodybuilders are trying to add muscle each year, so it makes sense right? lifetime natural u can keep gaining muscle into ur 30s if uve been consistent, with training and food, course u gotta eat more and train heavier as u go. The muscle starts to compound on ur body, u get stronger, hence lift more, hence ad more muscle. Ur natural test starts to decrease, and it’s the law of diminishing returns sure, ur not as efficient as u once were, but it doesn’t mean u can’t still gain size and strength. If u were geared up in ur 20s and then do the same routine in ur 30s but with no gear, no one expects u to be as muscled. Ronnie Coleman made it to his first Mr. Olympia natural. So when he took gear it’s no surprise he became the most muscular bodybuilder ever. I don’t mean to blast you, but don’t we all know how roids work right? Added muscle also uses up ur energy and oxygen in sports, so without increased cardio vascular training on top of things, u can run out of gas faster.

You are mistaken. The adaptive response to exercise does not disappear with age and there have been many studies on the elderly demonstrating this; if you are interested in this subject I suggest going to Google Scholar and searching for "elderly weight training" (without quotation marks), "elderly exercise", etc. Here is one link: *** https://scholar.google.com/scholar?h...+elderly&btnG=

Obviously, strength and lean body mass will decline over time among both sedentary populations and among those who train, yet if--for example--an untrained, healthy 90 year old begins a well-designed and executed resistance training program he or she will typically double his or her starting strength within a few months--in the process adding a significant amount of lean body mass. An interesting talk: https://********/o80sOqB_Q4U

Anabolic steroids and other anabolic agents can allow a trainee to 1) gain muscle mass more quickly than would otherwise be the case, 2) gain more muscle mass than would otherwise be possible, 3) recover from exercise more quickly than would otherwise be the case, 4) tolerate more exercise than would otherwise be the case, 5) retain more muscle mass while dieting than would otherwise be the case, etc. For these and other reasons they are very helpful to boxers and other athletes.
