Media Fighter talking honestly about PEDs

[spinup]

Everyone wants to be like the Natty GOAT

Fun thing is, this guy is probably not even on PED. Synthol is not illegal afaik.

PEDS are awesome and make an incredible difference in performance. Faster + stronger.....useful in MMA.

The difference between the two pictures isn't PEDs; the muscles are all there in the picture on the left. The difference is diet and calorie burning.

The guy on the left is using steroids just as much as the guy on the right, which is something people often seem to forget (look at everyone claiming Fedor was clean in Pride). Steroids don't burn fat and don't keep you from eating tubs of ice cream. They do help with muscle recovery, letting you lift more, for more reps, and more frequently.

I see your point and partially agree. The pic on the right has more developed deltoid and trapezius muscles; two muscles with the most androgen receptors, when compared to most other muscles in the body. When I see a change in delts / lats on the same fighter I know PEDS are in play.

So, Russian parents are like putting roids in their children's Cheerios?

It’s what Santa brings them for Christmas

Fucks steroids and the cheats..

This world has lost all its morals and marbles



Yeah they should just let them use it ..

Umm no .. its fucking unsafe chemicals that litterally fucks your body up because your not supposed to be having those levels in your body...


Theres no such thing as safe PED drug use...

Theres always a cost and sometimes its more then just the individual that used...

What a chump that fighter in the video is...semi proud he used and claiming like a junior kindergarten kid ...well wel welll everyone else is soooo i will too ..

FUCK ROIDS AND ROIDERS..


CLEAN ATHLETICS IS TRUE ATHLETICS

I was semi involved in sport 15 years ago.

All but one of the guys I knew in boxing and MMA were on either anabolic steroids or stamina enhancing drugs (EPO specifically).

Lonnie B (thompson) out of Vegas is the only one I'd say with any certainty that did not use PEDs. Dashon Johnson as well most likely clean.

None would admit it directly to me.

It's rampant and that's an understatement.

 

[GluttonforPunishment]

Only PFL chumps are on steroids. Prime UFC athletes have that drive and motivation to get to the top. They don't take shortcuts on the path to success.

Different mentalities B.

If you say so ma'am

When guy a like this get busted like 5 times


You have to wonder about guys who look like this

 

[Chaotic Progressor]

The whole sport is dirty at this point. I've been told by more than one guy that they showed up to a large well known gym in FL and it was basically like "Here's your locker....and some steroids. See you on the mat!".

They should just let everybody do it, then there's no issue.

Don't see why it should be illegal anyway. Let people put in their bodies whatever they want.

Nothing's 'fair' anyway. Genes make sure of that. You can train 2 x harder than a guy who's just always going to be better than you, always faster, always stronger; height, reach, brain/mindset, none of these things you control. At least if they let everyone do it - everyone has the same open opp to, if they want, then there's no problem.

Bullshit
That’s completely bullshit

 

[icemun]

I've seen amateurs taking laxatives, roiding + other stufff for fights they would get 50 bucks for.
I've seen seen them doing the same for unpaid fights.
I've seen amateurs taking roids, without even fighting.

Part time fitness guys who aren't even in shape on roids, take them for the ladies/ego/pools

Its wild, guys in UFC 1 were on gear for $500 to fight.

And people think that career fighters making 6, 7 figures todaa re Natty?

There are some truly naive man children up here

 

[GluttonforPunishment]

Eye pokes > peds

Hurr durr...

 

[azerty]

i think most are on something, but i also think the quantity of PEDs they're on differ greatly between fighters, especially during the USADA era, if "everybody is on steroids" and the tests are so easy to beat, then explain vitor deflating as soon as he didn't had his TRT exemption? why did'nt he just keep using? or you're telling me there is no difference between strikeforce reem and UFC reem?

 

[Portland8242]

Going on almost 2025 and it still actually blows my mind just how little MMA fans know about PED's and the fact that probably every ranked fighter is on them.

Yeah except for those things called side effects..


This is literally anarchy and chaos theory wrapped into one post lol


Cocaine improves energy and makes you more aware, and increases focus.. everyone should be allowed to take it ...lifes not fair so drugs should be used to even things out because someone might be smarter then you but you can make up for it by not sleeping and working cuz ur high on shit ...


Wow ... What a scary world you want to live in...

These things are banned for a reason

Nah totally commonplace to get down to like 7% body fat, not lose one ounce of muscle (actually gain muscle) all while achieving superhuman cardio.

Lots of people should try working out and see just how easy it is to gain lean mass at sub 10% bodyfat.

Steroids are literally the gap closer of different genes. Some guys respond to steroids exceptionally well.

How else would a guy like Johnny Hendricks who clearly doesn't have the athleticism that GSP has compete that closely with him.

I believe the whole "everyone is using roids" bit stands as the top reason fighters use to justify the idea it is OK to cheat and take roids.

I would be interested to see exact numbers on this assumption (we never will obviously). I think it is mixed. The fighters who say that everyone is on roids could not possibly have first-hand knowledge of everyone else. One of the reasons USADA would test certain people more than others was rumors about them using; I'm sure most fighters that use roids keep it hushed.

USADA was corrupt as fuck lmao everyone is on steroids bro, you’re naive to think they aren’t yes that includes your favorite fighters

Regardless of whether or not the USADA is corrupt, the level of corruption that you imply obviously is false. They wrecked good main events that would have brought the UFC big money, so they weren't entirely corrupt.

As far as everyone being on roids, I am waiting to see some proof. Fighters who say everyone is on roids are implying that everyone BUT THEM is on roids, which is a pretty goofy thing to say. If you have compelling evidence that everyone is on roids, I would love to see it. If you don't, then you would be the naive one for being so sure of something you can't come anywhere close to proving. I would say you are naive for believing brain-damaged claims from someone like Nate or Nick Diaz who are self-promoting with these claims, as if they were the only ones not on roids.
