Great numbers!
East Europeans are brutally strong!!!
Greetings from Croatia!
And also juiced to the gills!!!
What is your point?
Being juiced or not,East Europeans have always dominated in weightlifting…Bulgarians, Romanians, Greeks, Ukranians,…Relatively small countries with many champions.
Thats why I stand by my statement-East Europeans are brutally strong!!!
My point is that they are strong because they are juiced to the gills. What is so hard to understand about that? The bulgarians and the russians combined have been kicked out of competitions more thant the rest of the world combined in weightlifting! And the russians have been kicked out of the IPF(powerlifting)for a reason you know…
And 105 kgs at 19 isnt impressive if you have no knowledge of his AAS abuse.
Wait wait. Being 230 lbs at 5’9" with a low bodyfat at 19 isnt impressive because you are not sure if he has used gear or not because he is from Eastern Europe and a lot of athletes over there are on?
So being on gear makes someone less impressive. So I guess when you weighed 20 lbs less than this kid when you were 3 inches taller after 14 years of training and considered prohormones, you decided not to taint all of your hard work, right?
First of all the guy is 5’11" and does not have low bodyfat. He has NORMAL bodyfat far a 19 year old who works out.
Second of all yes beeing on gear makes someone less impressive. Thats my personal opinion.
And what does my personal stats have to do with anything?
The facts is that steroids in Russia is as common as food in the BB, PL and weightlifting “industry”. I know this for a fact. If you think otherwise you are a bit naive.[/quote]
If steroids are as common as food in Russia in weightlifting,what is the difference compared to the United States?
And whats up with your bullshit claims that steroids are the part of culture in East Europe?
I happen to live in Eastern Europe,in Croatia and I can tell you that drinking,smoking and gambling are part of our culture,but steroids are very rare.They are used by very,very small percentage of people-hard core body builders,bouncers,gangsters,some throwers…thats it.
Most athletes here are soccer players.
Those that are too tall for soccer play basketball.
Soccer and basketball players make 80% of all athletes in Croatia.
99% of them dont use steroids…90% of them doesnt even lift weights,because in those sports skills and conditioning are more important than strenght and size.
Compare that to USA,where football is THE sport,where body building is much more popular and its logical to assume that steroids are more used in USA than Croatia.And Croatia is a typical East European country.
Success of East Europe in weightlifting is not due to steroids.Its the same ridiculous claim to say as that Scandinavians dominate in strongman competition because they take more steroids than others.
