PR Friday, Steroid Preview, etc.
Apparently the whole town is having Internet issues. I was going to post for Justin, but my connection sucks, too, so I”m going mobile. Sorry, guys.
It has been a month since I did the steroid primer post. I have spent the last several weeks gathering facts and talking to current and former steroid users about the ins and outs of supplementation. I should have something pretty good for you by next week.
So, in addition to your normal PR Friday posts, ask me any questions you want answered about steroids and I”ll try to cover it next week.
In the meantime, check the trailer for BSF.

February 5th, 2010 at 7:51 am
@Hookgrip_
Which one?
@PR”s
I have to go buy new boxers and a shirt I bought in November is about to burst off me when I button it up.
I actually have welts on my thighs from wearing some of my boxers.

Yeah Mike died, the older brother but im not sure of the circumstances
February 5th, 2010 at 8:31 am
DL 525 for 1, up from 475 8 weeks a go.
BW 230 up 10# over the past two weeks, stopped trying to gain once I hit 220.
February 5th, 2010 at 8:33 am
He died in some rehab facility in California if I remember correctly, steroids weren”t the only drugs he was using. The amazing, and really sad, thing is their father actually said in the movie he expects to find him dead some day.
Anyway, not that many PRs for this week:
BW – 80kg. Closing in on that 84kg milestone.
squat – 107.5kg 5-5-5F. collapsed on the way up, which is sort of a PR as well, my first real squat failure.
Press – 52kg 3×5.
February 5th, 2010 at 8:36 am
Bench 2×5 240, 1×5 235
Deadlift 1×4 365
Press 1×5 140
Decided I haven”t been going deep enough on squats: going to scale back 20 lbs. on work sets tonight to get proper depth. I don”t want to be the guy scoffed at for squatting like a fool.
February 5th, 2010 at 8:38 am
This week tried for several max”s
DL= 425
Squat= 375
Press= 205
I also signed up for a powerlifting meet on March 13. Missouri/Ozark Open.
February 5th, 2010 at 8:57 am
I”m the 4th week of a Russian 9-week program preparing for a PL meet in March. I”ve set two PRs this week:
SQ 140kg for 6×6, PR for overall reps
BP 107.5kg 6,6,5,5,4,4, old PR 105×6
I”ve done 80% for 6×3,6×4,6×5 and 6×6. Next week it”s 85% for 5×5. Hoping for a few more PRs then.
February 5th, 2010 at 9:01 am
Currently only having deadlift PR”s as I work some things out with squats and work back up from resetting on presses:
Deadlift this week 475X4. Its a PR even though i was going for 5. I will get it next week. My recovery was off this week.
Oh and I accidentally weigh 252 now. I”m trying to get “Chris-big”
February 5th, 2010 at 9:02 am
Bodyweight PR – 199lbs. I will be an adult male next week.
February 5th, 2010 at 9:26 am
DL 405×5 Nice thing is, I”ve never done more than that, so everytime I DL, will now be a new PR. BW around 255, so I need to get the DL up.
February 5th, 2010 at 9:31 am
Bodyweight PR: 233 at 6”
Squat PR: 295x5x3
PRs on other lifts should arrive next week.

February 5th, 2010 at 9:49 am
BW PR of 195
Was up over twenty pounds since Dec. 1st to 193 until I got bronchitis and subsequently a stomach virus. Lost close to 10 lbs in a matter of days. Back up to speed with the eating finally.

PR BW: 88kg I”m allmost getting to the Big Mitswa
Steriod question:
* Granted that athletes want to find the next thing that will help them to recover better and train harder, but in what form isn”t using steriods cheating? Is that when everyone uses it? And how would it be like if steriods were made legal in sports?
* And what about the health risks, I remember some youtube movies stating that the health risks aren”t that great if used moderately and wisely. Overdoing things will ofcourse kill you. Hell even drinking to much water will kill you.

February 5th, 2010 at 10:57 am
loved the film, really makes me think. I feel bad that this is the first that I have heard of Mike Bell”s passing.
you can watch the whole thing online here: http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/bigger-stronger-faster/
But it”s worth it to rent the DVD. There are some outtakes that should have found their way into the final version. Including a short interview with Jay Cutler, and some clips of Chris Bell lifting weights with Michael O”Hearn aka “Titan” from American Gladiators.
February 5th, 2010 at 10:57 am
Only Pr this week was Press 65kg 3×5.
Squat went 3×5 but I was told they were all high, so I don”t count them.
Then I was told to take the week off from heavy lifting because I have to lift some 5rms this weekend in San Diego.
I did do handstands longer than I ever have before in my life as part of a conditioning session on wed and broke the window on my garage door.
February 5th, 2010 at 10:59 am
Deadlift PR – 455lbs…easy off the floor, tough to lock out…i think that means i need more glute strength…maybe do some rack pulls too.
February 5th, 2010 at 11:01 am
O also, hit a 52″ box jump from a standing 2 foot position. Up 2″ at almost 20lb heavier bw than my previous pr.
February 5th, 2010 at 11:02 am
Been lurking, finally decided to join. Back on linear progression after losing my hard earned gains through Xfit
I”ll be back in PR territory in the next few weeks! In the meantime, PR of eggs consumed: whole dozen!!!
February 5th, 2010 at 11:09 am
Sorry for double-post. I had a question regarding AAS. Let”s say you have a trainee who TRULY exhausted their linear gains, ate right, etc. Would taking AAS after one”s linear progression put you back in “linear progression” mode since your recovery rate has increased again? Hope that makes sense, love the site guys!
February 5th, 2010 at 11:11 am
still out of the gym bc sciatica is giving me problems. seeing a chiro for the first time on monday so hopefully i can get back at it again soon.
February 5th, 2010 at 11:14 am
I think that”s a good question Justin. I would think, most definitely. I don”t see that as an excuse to start using AAS, but if a trainee was to start using, even if they were and intermediate, they MIGHT be able do some more linear progression.
I”m under the impression that AASs should be used by advanced/elite level lifters to get a little more than what nature intended. Novices and intermediates should just carry on eating, lifting and getting stronger.
But I”m still a novice and haven”t used AAS so I”m not the person to ask; that”s just how I see it.
February 5th, 2010 at 11:22 am
I have been lurking for a while. Decided to post my PR”s from a grip contest this past weekend.
2HP – 183lbs
DO Axle DL – 310lbs
Grippers – 155# CoC #3
February 5th, 2010 at 11:24 am
@SMed I agree that the extra push in performance doesn”t justify on it”s own using AAS. I just think that exploring the question can reveal a lot about training and how our body responds to it (as well as exogenous supplements). It”s more of a rhetorical/thought-provoking question than anything.
For the record, I agree that a novice/intermediate trainee should probably just eat a $hit-ton, lift hard, and rest. I”m still back in the novice phase and am continually learning how my body responds and adapts to training/eating/recovery methods.
February 5th, 2010 at 11:24 am
@SMed
than when you say that advanced/elite level lifter could use it. Is it then ok to use it for competitions?
February 5th, 2010 at 11:29 am
@kincain
Regardless of our varying personal morals of which we decide whether or not exogenous hormone ingestion is “okay or not”, rules of competition are rules of competition.
In baseball, an infield fly results in an automatic out for the batter. If the MLB declares that AAS are against the rules, then so be it, it is cheating (this conclusion is independent of one”s personal morals/opnion of using AAS).
February 5th, 2010 at 11:34 am
Gant, what age range does Masters compete in? You look like you could be in your late 20s, so weightlifting has kept you young
February 5th, 2010 at 11:39 am
@Justin_C you are completely right, but what I was trying to induce was a bit of a discussion whether AAD should be made legal in sports.
The only thing that comes to the top of my mind is that it isn”t allowed (atleast in the Netherlands) because of the health risks not really because it would be performance enhancing. That is why creatine is allowed because it is a substance that is already present in the human body. As I understand it correctly that is.
Just want to know your opinions
February 5th, 2010 at 11:39 am

February 5th, 2010 at 12:51 pm
Steroids question: How much of the gains made on steroids persist after going off steroids, if you were near your physical strength limits before steroids? And if you weren”t near your strength limits before juicing?
No intent to juice, just intellectually curious.
February 5th, 2010 at 12:56 pm
@kincain
Some friendly discourse eh? Excellent!
Well, I”ll play devil”s advocate. Using the logic presented, testosterone is also a substance that naturally occurs in the body. Also, there are sports that are inherently risk and present great physical danger (football, fighting, auto racing, etc.).
Also, elite level athletes may display awesome levels of physical prowess but I would hardly consider their lifestyle “healthy”. The training stress on the body, consuming massive calories, the mental/emotional strain brought on by the need to excel and win.
February 5th, 2010 at 1:28 pm
@Justin_C
, I think you are right on the spot it was the same thing I was thinking about. I”m no expert on why certain substances are prohibited or allowed. But the argument that I always hear that those substances are banned because it has a health risk attached to it then as I stated earlier water should be prohibited too. Drinking it will enhance your performance and drinking too much can kill you. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_intoxication). And as you stated elite level athletes aren”t that “healthy”. A friend of mine is silver medalist lightweight sculler (rowing)and methods in order to get to that weight borders somewhat to malnutrition.
thanks for the reply
Maybe my real question would rather be why are these substances prohibited? Because we don”t want and like competitions were people can take shortcuts? Whether it would be a health risk could be debatable.
February 5th, 2010 at 1:37 pm
ok I did some looking around. In the Netherlands. The anti-doping agency states that substances are placed on the list if 2 of the three statements apply on the substance
1. (possibly) performance enhancing
2. (possible) health risk
3. it is not in line with the ”spirit of sport”. this means the values that are present with sports, like fair play

February 5th, 2010 at 2:24 pm
@kincain
No problem at all! I think there is an element of people genuinley wanting a “level playing field”. This, in my opinion, is a pipe dream though. Not everybody can afford elite coaching, the best facilities, the best nutrition, or even the time dedicated to train to reach a competitive level. Am I saying, “Just let everybody take whatever the F— they want!”? I”m starting to sound that way I guess, although that wasn”t my intent. *shrugs*
That being said (without getting to philosophical), I think humans are very tribal by nature. By that I mean we all have a tendency to project our personal morals/opinions/ethos/etc onto others. This ranges from politics and religion, to sports ethics and tastes in music. Maybe we just want others to see through the same lens we do? Shit I dunno man. Been a long week at work…

PR”s: 415 3×5 Squat, 405×9 DL (gotta love weird 5/3/1 “PRs”)
Roids – don”t use ”em. Interesting stuff, but unless my livelihood depended on it, I don”t see the point of even considering them. Oddly enough, I would consider “natural” testosterone enhancers if such things existed, because I do feel like mine is probably lower than average. For now, I rely on squats.
Also, I made Gant”s CFS last night and am now inspired to submit another recipe article over the weekend.
February 5th, 2010 at 3:19 pm
@Brent,
I said over 230. And 240 is over 230. Im trying not to limit myself, so Im leaving the topside open. 250 is also over 230…
February 5th, 2010 at 3:29 pm
AAS- I guess once you are old enough that natural levels have leveled out, I do not see anything wrong with healthy and educated use. Athletes or users in general are still limited by genetic potential (until gene doping is more popular). 10 years of perfect training could be accomplished in 2 or 3 with anabolic support. Medicinally there is a typical range, who is to say that I shouldn”t be able to be towards the top of that range?
February 5th, 2010 at 3:56 pm
Just hit a new size PR – had to get a new suit, jacket size went from 44 to 46.
February 5th, 2010 at 4:11 pm
Strep and sinusitis Sick PR? will be back hopefully on sat.
Steroids: I dont like them. I dont really know why actually. Guess it was just how i was brought up. I understand why pple use them and dont think any different of them. I do think when you start to reach the upper facets of what the body can do naturally, after working your ass off, and you want to keep improving I dont think its wrong.
Ill personally never use them. Ive only heard bad health rumors and my job doesn”t depend on it. I think ill be sufficient with just eating and lifting.
O and someone referred to me as “Squat Joe” today. Good thing?
February 5th, 2010 at 4:20 pm
Gant, I”m interested in hearing about what professional athletes might be taking i.e. weight class athletes might be taking something that won”t lead to weight gain, females might take something else, and a bodybuilder might be doing something else.
Some examples of what kind of cycles that athletes might be taking and the reasons for it as well as the trade offs of some substances, such as cramping, bloating, getting out of breath easy, etc.
I”ve never taken steroids and there is an ethical component to the Olympics and supposedly clean events, where the athletes should not be using out of fairness.
However, the average lifespan of an NFL player is 52. Its a commercial sport, and I would separate from the Olympics in that although there is endorsement deals and such at stake, every football player is making a good living at it.
If I played a sport where I was pretty much getting my ass kicked for a living, I would be taking steroids for my own well being.
Additionally, there is the liberty component; If I want supranormal levels of serum testerone in my blood, its my body and should be allowed to do with it as I please. The same goes for choosing to smoke dope, drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes, eat McDonalds and drink cokes. People need to mind their own business, and a grown individual should have the liberty to do with their bodies as they please.

@kincaid
Just looked at the criteria for banning something in the Netherlands. Guess we better rule out barbell training eh (hits two of the three). It”s performance enhancing, and can possibly bad for your health (risk of injury for instance). I love being a smartass
February 5th, 2010 at 5:06 pm
I was sitting at my desk, feeling sorry for myself about the shitty week I had, both personal and in the gym, when I came upon this little gem on a MTB forum I frequent. “LL Cool J said the difference between people like himself (the fits) and others (the fats) is the willingness to work out when you don”t feel like it.”
I don”t know if he ever said that, but it was enough to get me off my self-loathing ass and out of the office. I had skipped breakfast and lunch (when I get stressed, I don”t eat), so I got up, drove to Chik-fil-a, ate two chicken sandwiches, went to the gym and proceed to set PRs in Squat (225x3x5), Bench (150x3x5), and Deadlift (285x1x5). No one in the gym seemed nearly as excited as I was to complete the deadlift with an overhand hook grip. (I failed to hold on to 275 last week). They all stared at me as I cussed at the bar after dropping it to the ground after the final rep.
Those are my PRs this week. I failed miserably at PC and SP earlier in the week, but next week will be here in 3 days.

I guess my whole trunk holding 300+ pounds in isometric contraction during deep squats doesn”t count as core work. Who wudda thunk.)

didn”t workout all week, left lower back still hurts, obviously not as much but i”m going to workout on monday and see how it goes, still foam rolling and icing. not sure if on monday i should do the starr rehab protocol or just work the weight up till a weight i can for 3×5.
obviously after my left lower back will be ok i”m going to add some extensions to help prevent these thing.
February 5th, 2010 at 7:20 pm
Not sure if you will be able to cover much about these questions, but touching on them would be very interesting.
First, steroids/designer steroids/pro-hormones have health risks that people are more aware of today than in past and thus post-cycle therapy is a rather hot topic (PCT, taking other supplements to help retain gains and get your normal hormone production back up and running). As far as I”m aware, this was not really given much thought back in the heyday of bodybuilding and powerlifting. Was there much concern about stopping a cycle of steroids and how prevalent were side effects such as gynecomastia and acne?
What do current steroid users think about pro-hormones? That they”re nearly equivalent, pointless and should stick to the real deal, or another useful tool for progress?
February 5th, 2010 at 7:59 pm
Yeah PR Friday! BW up to 185.
Squatted 355 for five singles, benched 220×5.

PR
Push-pressed my brother-in-law overhead, from a fireman carry position.
Tried to do so again, but from the floor (like a strongman log press), but failed to get him into a good pressing position. Ripped my pants in the process.
Wife not happy that I ripped my only good pair of shorts that actually fit.

I”d like to learn about the long term side effects of steroids. Are they overblown or not? Do serum levels really drop after steroid use? I”d be interested in something scientific, so see whether it”s scare tactics or justified banning.
