I have no doubt that all elite athletes push the boundaries in terms of supplements etc, but frankly some humans are just genetically gifter in certain areas, where their muscles grow quicker/respond better to training. Look at Yao's legs in 1999. Some people are just naturally gifted in say legs/shoulders/whatever, just cause the 'average' individual struggles to obtain it doesnt mean its not true. These athletes train their whole lives day in day out, in the gym, nutrition all that, frankley I'd be disappointed if I DIDNT have a body like that.
I did not know that. Thanks for the correction. Whether he did or didn't, hes no doubt a talented player.
I think all major pro athletes are on some sort of performance enhancing drugs, so yes i believe Lebron is also using. That being said that doesn nt make him any less of a freak of nature, and physically gifted.
I think it depends on the type of performance enhancing drugs. I think he's taking some of HGH that all athletes secretly take, but I don't think it's the "major" steroids/hgh that Barry Bonds and Wade (probably) uses. Thing is LBJ has always been a freak, if he's been on something we would've seen it by now, he would've started breaking down ala Wade.
It is a hard call, even with the help of steroids there is a lot of hard work and time he has put in gym. Thought this his job when we go to work he goes to the gym (for hours) then plays basketball - day after day... year after year. with only the best trainers in the world and eats the best foods, too. He and few others are born to do this AND get too. I don't think he is; but I am wrong most of the time.
This is a video of Lebron working his shoulders, using only 55 lbs. Does Lebron even lift? Im surprised he lifts so light. Then again, hes basketball player, not a body builder. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/2nE7YlfHAZ0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I'm not saying it's impossible for Lebron to roids, I'm just saying there is little evidence. There is a difference between guys like Lebron and Greg Lemond versus guys like Barry Bond, McGuire and Lance Armstrong. Lebron and Lemond were freaks of nature even in their childhood. Lebron was playing with NBA players in pickup games as a sophomore in high school. Lemond won every junior title in sight when he was a kid and had one of the highest VO2 max ever measured when he was a teenager. Compare that to Bonds and Lemond who were just slightly above average athletically when they were growing up. Bonds, however did have ridiculous hand eye coordination.

Alot of sour grapes around here, also just because someone is very muscular does mean that they are juicing with roids/HGH. Some of these players actually train hard and are pretty much NATURALLY ENDOWED.
Thats probably at the end of his workout...hes lifting it like people do when they have nothing left, with a lot of wobble.
