JJ Barea probably took HGH the way they gave it to Messi to make him barely passable in height. I mean just look at the village he came from. Everyone in Hobbitton is so proud of him!
Also, people I most suspect: tall-ass white boys from the suburbs. Steroids are not a ghetto drug, it's a product of crazy driven moms and dads with both the means and the know-how on how to get their kid an unfair advantage. With football and baseball that means primarily anabolic steroids. In basketball I bet HGH is a far more abused product. Case in point: Tyler Hansbrough. Isn't his dad like 5'7 or something? All I know is he looks like Larry David. Granted he married a behemoth as a wife. So naturally the NCAA would probably have far more culprits than the NBA does.
Anyone who doesn't think that LeBron was on something in high school just isn't/wasn't paying attention. It's ridiculously hard for guys that size to maintain muscle mass as they hit growth spurts. Your body just burns all available substances to fuel the growth. Add calories burned from playing ball all the time and it's just inconceivable that he would have looked like he did naturally. Heck, I would have done it - with the rewards available you'd be stupid not to. I'm sure with most of them, it starts as a way to stand out in high school so that you can get that scholarship.
What mass did Lebron have in high school? It was nothing crazy, especially at his height. The guy had a trainer late in his HS career that was making him do pro-level workouts, that's where he got the mass and how he maintained it, but prior to that he was a thin. Also, remember he played football as well and that helped him establish a foundation with lifting. He gained some mass, but he's hardly big or bigger than his teammates and that's what some flexing in this pic..: I think people get fooled by the cut of the jerseys. It brings out the shoulders more and makes it seem like they're built from head to toe. Battier is an example of this as well. His overall frame is thinner than it looks. Dwight too, cover his shoulders in this picture. He doesn't look like anything special then. Same for Lebron. Hell, Nelly has more all around mass than either of them. Seems like nowadays guys just need to do bicep curls and shoulder presses to be labeled massive.
Yes, all poor 14-year-olds from Akron, OH being raised by single teen moms pretty much hit the Deca/Dura as soon as they're able. I think they actually sell it over at the Pik'n'Save.
LOL :grin: I'm sure these guys knew a lot about deca tren test dbol winny anavar etc. Realistically, maybe flinstones? D. Rose might be a little off with his number in the basketball world. It's more like a 2 OR 3 at MAX. This is not exactly football or power lifting we're talking about here.
I think most people would be surprised how much mass you can put on with the right workout regimen and protein shakes all freaking day long.
I doubt Dwight did. He's just an athletic freak. Plus, he was only 18 years old when he came into the league.
Anthony Mason,Alonzo, Charles Oakley, Karl Malone...Malone had 21 inch professional body builder sized biceps
Thanks for making my point. Go back and investigate that trainer. You don't make that switch easily to pro-level workouts without PED support. People don't understand how hard it is to put on muscle. Someone said that it's easy for these guys to put on 20 pounds in 4-5 months. Ridiculous. If you want, you may be able to add 20 pounds of weight in that time, but you'll be looking at eating like crazy and adding fat as well. When you cut back down, you've only added 8-10 pounds of muscle if you are lucky. Experienced lifters look to add 5-10 pounds per year - and it's years of that that gets them to where they are huge.
I found it funny that Rose was the only big time player interviewed, everyone else they asked is a chump for the most part
lol seriously what is up with Wade's jaw? I noticed it the other night watching the game, it looks all swollen and godfather-like. I'm not an expert on the subject so I'm not saying that's evidence of PED use, but judging by that younger pic his jaw wasn't always like that. It's just weird is all.
