*How do PEDs benefit a MMA athlete?*

[loisestrad]

Best of all they give you two years of suspension, so that you have time to catch all Pokemon's.

I know PEDs would improve all aspects as it gives you an edge on training, but mostly, which aspect is the one that would be on top:

a) Stamina/Gas tank

b) Strengh/Power to wrestle

c) Power/Speed for striking

Recovery from injury and other wear and tear is actually arguably the most important aspect.

Rampage approves.

Peds =
better recovery =
more training =
bigger faster stronger

You have obviously not been close to roid users or used them yourself. If you are lifting weights hard, they make you way stronger just doing the exact same workout you had been doing before you started roids.! 20 pull ups turns into 35 pull ups in 3 months, a 275 bench becomes a 350 bench in 3 months, a 350 squat becomes a 415 squat in 3 months. Plus, they make you faster. Just look at all the US Olympic sprinters who have been busted and had to return medals. They make you more aggressive. You must of heard of "roid rage". If fighter 'A' is training hard and clean and fighter 'B' has the same skill set and is doing the same training but is using roids, fighter "B' wins 9 out of ten times. Just look at the UFC for crying out loud!

lol cute... that's what happens when you can max out on squats every day and a raging boner 12 hours a day, you don't do the same training live the same life as a natty athlete

And become a bodybuilder.

sorry bud but i had to....

It's not obvious go read any of the Brock threads where all anyone talks about is muscles and strength

 

[D 1 Wrestler]

What exactly are the health risks of most PED use?

the main risk is your heart will get jacked up and you'll die young

 

[HomunculusXV]

They don't give any benefit, MMA fighters take them just for the challenge of beating the tests.

Colton Smith made it public that MMA is easy, so fighters have to find a challenge somewhere.

yea you're totally right. i guess someone will have to tell the 98 olympic athletes that are currently pending investigation, most of which are NOT competitors in strength focused sports; that they should read expert sherdoggers opinions on how steroids work.

The most real answer here is healing speed.

Using PEDs helps you heal fast and that's very important during training. Most of these people have other jobs too, so yraining, getting sore or broken messes with these other jobs.

PEDs will heal you really fast. Allow you to keep working your other job. They will give you more days to train since you don't have injuries or your injuries heal faster. This will increase overall technique, speed and strength, because you can train all of these aspects more, without having to sit out for a rest day.

PEDs are mostly about healing and I don't get how most people don't know that by now.

You can't really say they will
Make you " this much stronger in three months" and what not. Steroids aren't always about strength. Of course if you're taking tren or deca you're going to get strong as fuck but this isn't bodybuilding. Most fighters are taking drugs like masteron that allow you to keep your muscle mass and strength while cutting weight at a caloric deficit. Anderson silva, Brian Ortega, Kevin Casey, etc tested positive for this one.

Basically what I took from the thread about Carwin being on them is that they give you super big hands and make you a National Champion Collegiate Wrestler....

Brock isn't a good baseline for anyone to be compared to.

 

[10mm]

These guys arent getting busted for testosterone. They are getting popped with E2 blockers. Just like any drug you take, you have to take a different drug to offset the affects of the first. Pop adderol all day and you will need ambien to get to sleep. Or, maybe they simply do have vaginitus and need to tap their estrogen levels down.

Ok go read the jones thread where people post his bulking pics

 

[Toxxus]

more time to train

First post nails it. In addition to being stronger, having better endurance and being more aggressive they benefit from reduced healing & recovery times which allow fighters to train more often and develop higher levels of skill.

Steroid cheats aren't pandemic in virtually every major sport there is because they don't work. Just the opposite. They make it nearly impossible for clean competitors to actually compete.

As you can see, in the charts below,there is a stark difference in the performance of these fighters before and after they were caught and subsequently sanctioned. The average win percentage before the ban was 78% and after it dropped to a staggering 45%. Just by glancing at the amount of losses after their ban and the drastic decrease in win percentages, surely proves that doping gives you a significant advantage.

Vitor Belfort before and after doping, just as an example.

 

[Rea_ctor]

I can't tell if this is a serious post or not. Different PEDs do different things.
-Endurance Enhancement - EPO, Candarine
-Strength/Muscular Endurance - Test, Tbol, the steroid list goes on and on. You also have sarms such as Ostarine, these come with the added benefit of increasing mineral bone density whereas steroids lower your collagen. Ostarine and other sarms and also great for injuriy recovery especially muscle belly injuries.
-Recovery, collagen production etc - HGH, GHRP's such as Ipam, Mk-677 (oral ghrp) I have taken, Ostarine and Mk-677 together and felt like I could train multiple times a day, it was truly incredible.
