roids are for when youve reached your natural plateau

Natural plateau? How old are u guys? Hotrex- I seriously doubt that anyone on here has reached their natural plateau. Thats something that dosent happen until after years (8-10) of lifting. Then what? You do roids and break the plateau and become ronnie coleman? Seriously, there is very little money in bodybuilding. You want to make even less money? Then do roids and become a champion powerlifter. Name a famous powerlifter. These kids will think that since they are 18 and are stuck at a weight that they are done growing and do roids. Thats what I see alot of at the gym. You see a huge guy at the gym on gear and then after a month or two, you just dont see the guy anymore. Then maybe comes back next semester and looks all skinny. ---- all that put the time in. Grip it and rip it.

Re: *lol* Where the steroids at?
 

well i was about there. after 6 yrs of lifting. i juiced, waste of time and oney and your body.

i would not reccomend steroids to anyone

Re: *lol* Where the steroids at?
 

That is damn good for your size.

I do 12 reps at 225, and 10 at 275...

sound like a decent amount, but I weight 309 :-\

those benching numbers' aren't bad at all guy's. I'm up to 275lbs now for my max benchpress and weigh in at 205. I gotta say, doing Heavy dumbell benching increases your max Barbell bench like Mad. In 5 month's I went from a max of 205 to 275lbs so it obviously makes a huge difference!

My brother is a hardcore gym fanatic. Everyone thinks he does steroids but he doesn't, he's 5' 11" 168lbs and his max bench is 325- he can rep 275 for 5. scares me watching, I think his forearms are just going to snap. He can curl his own body weight. It's nuts, he's like me too, very fast metabolism- his body fat percentage is somewhere around 4.6% he's probably one of the most cut people I know but you can't tell unless he has his shirt off.

Me on the other hand, I'm 6' 184lbs I'm two years younger than him, but I've got it the other way around, upper body is fine, pretty well cut, but no chest, all my power is in my legs, I've got thighs that have more splits than a banana peel :8 hah, 9+ years of skating and basketball will do that to you, I can dunk a basketball two handed easy, but I can probably only bench around 200lbs :-X

I always felt like 'roids were cheating yourself, you didn't earn it, it's not really yours as soon as you stop taking it it's gone. Kind of like nitrous- you've got to keep refilling the bottle if you want to play.

side note: whoever said that about nerdy kids doing roids, that's totally true, there was this one dweeb in my freshman class, moved away for two years and when he came back for senior year, he was huge. still a total idiot though. just goes to show you can take the weakness out of the nerd, but you can't take the nerd out of himself. :3

I was never small or weak, never had a girl problem ::)

Re: *lol* Where the steroids at?
 

i love how poeple pride themselvs on bench pressing ::) benching isnt the end-all, be-all to weight lifting, its one damn exercise. it tones your triceps and upper pecs... who cares who much you bench, its the TOTAL workout that matters, not one damn exercise. I could brag on how i can power squat 600lbs, but it doesnt matter.

Re: *lol* Where the steroids at?
 

True, but it doesnt seem like anyone is bragging. Anyway, its sort of like max hp... its a relevant figure, but hardly tells the whole story.

Re: *lol* Where the steroids at?
 

I can DEEP squat 315, free wieght, ass almost on the floor, not good practice for the knees but its gangster style. Feel better?
