From Mr Average ... to superman: Craig Davidson's account of using steroids | Health and wellbeing | Life and Health

In 16 weeks, Craig Davidson, a Canadian novelist, transformed himself into a hard-as-nails hunk by injecting illegal steroids. He loved his new body - but not the hideous side-effects. In this graphic account of being a 'roider', he recounts his hellish journey.


Alternatively, he could've tried squats.

By my best estimate, I've eaten 560 cans of tuna, over $750 worth. $1,280 on protein powder.

Holy crap.

OT-What do you front squat these days, Revok (if I remember right, you're not a back squatter)?

 

[Klotz]

Only mention of the word squat in the article:

lifters added 30lb to their bench press and 50 to their hack squats virtually overnight

superman ... lol

 

[Merrill]

That story seems a little embellished. He says he lost 13 pounds overnight. I think this guy is trying desperately to sell books.

His routine sucked. At 200 lbs he could barely DB benchpress 90's. After years of training I assume.

There is a guy at my gym who took massive steriods in the 80's, mostly Decabolin. He competed in Powerlifting in 1984-1986. He got to a 600 lb squat, 650 deadlift, and 350 bench at ~250 BW. He said that back then most people, even power lifters that he knew, did not know how to train properly or use steroids properly, including himself. He got off teh roids because his blood pressure was sky high.

Thank god for Rippetoe and teh interwebs. Amen

Joe DeFranco, Cosgrove, Sheiko, etc. also.

Nothing to shout about. Last I tried my Z-squat PB is 140kg. Front squat 110. I might start back squatting again when I restart my log.

 

[dugforeva]

I'm sorry but that story is completely unbelievable, I don't buy it for one second.

 

[akakabuto]

He looks like a bodyweight-only guy in the "superman" pic. He probably just cut his weight in those 16 weeks.

 

[Donut62]

Steroids are like high fructose corn syrup.

This guy is a fucking tool, and I don't buy this story isn't full of all kinds of whimsical embellishments of things that are "supposed to happen" to steroid users. He's talking about stupid shit like his facial structure changing after a few small injections.

Holy crap.

Apparently he has never heard of mercury.

 

[akakabuto]

He's talking about stupid shit like his facial structure changing after a few small injections.
.

Haha. I thought you had to use HGH for years to have that sort of structural changes.

 

[brian80]

He's spewing a lot of what us "regular lifters" call "bullshit"

 

[Merrill]

buy oral human growth hormone and hgh review


"hgh to me is so important for a sense of well-being when you get older, everyone older than 40 would be wise to investigate HGH because it improves the quality of your life so much. Mark my words for it."- Sylvester Stallone

The holy grail of HGH clinical studies

The Rudman study is the foundation of the HGH revolution; back in 1989 a well valued endocrinologist from the University of Wisconsin by the name of Donald Rudman, conducted an experiment where all the subjects were given medical HGH injection for six months and were specifically told not to change anything in their lifestyles. After the six months elapsed most noticed significant changes in their health. To name few weight loss thicker skin, better stamina, stronger hair, less wrinkles, leaner muscles and an overall better health were among the immediately noticeable effects of hgh injections in other words all the subjects of this hgh experiment felt years younger and much stronger. Still, the proof from Rudman

 

[MMAftfw**]

Sounds pretty over the top. How could he lose 13 pounds in one night? where the hell did the weight go, sweating and heat lose? Does not really look that great in the after picture regardless. Oh well even if its all bullshit at least it advocates against steriods.

 

[Donut62]

Correct, as long as when you make up a bunch of fucking bullshit and lies it's ok if it supports an ignorant public bias.

 

[Orion]

He looked like shit before and after. What a waste of time and money.

And on a side note, the story sounds like utter bullshit but I'll take his word for it just because I don't know why any one would want to embarrass themselves this bad without it being true.

Why am I stronger than "superman"?

I didn't know you were on teh gear:icon_chee.

Anyone else think he looks like ayoung Willem Dafoe in the 'after' picture?
