Mark Young, lol. I am picturing the shot that Dawkins put on Michael Vick in that playoff game. Oh baby, betcha Mr. Vick had some trouble breathing the next day.
6’2’', 245lbs, ripped to hell and his legs are small? It’s a possibility because he looks like he’s got decent upper body size, but I’ll have to see that. Not doubting you, it just sounds strange.
Anti:
I’m still not convinced. I see no reason for a healthy athlete to have this done. I see no reason for anyone to for that matter. As for processed foods not making it out of you…how about not eating processed foods? If they don’t make it out of you where are they being stored? And about the caveman comparison it’s quite different from cooking food. We have cooked food for the past million years. It does provide benefit. I’m always skeptical when someone comes along and says you need this and it’s something that we are naturally capable of doing. I think it’s just people that preform and make money off the hydro-colonics that espouse the benefits! Any medical doctor worth his salt will laud this off as qwack therapy. I’ve heard it can actually weaken your intestinal walls. Anyways that’s my opinion. 
Arcane, I obviously can’t say much about what it may do to intestinal walls, although I doubt it would weaken them.
Really you have to have a colonic to see what the deal is. I mean you really start to eject some odd looking stuff at the end of it, and the feeling you get (after you stop pooping) is quite good.
With all of that said though, I agree about processed foods. I don’t really see the need for colonics if you aren’t eating a lot of that bad stuff, which is the main reason i’ve never had them done in several years.
Another thing that is funny about them is the weight loss. You lose a good 5+ pounds from it, and that isn’t counting the water weight from pooping. I’m talking after several days recovery you are down that much. And you really don’t gain it back either, so obviously it’s not valuable weight.
With someone like boston though I dont see the point. I cant imagine any high end athlete eating crappy, and unless his bowels just dont work right I dont know why he would need to clean them out manually.
But, if he likes them, good for him. I would say he is nuts if he does like them though…lol
So were pretty much in agreement then. Cool. Urh um I don’t want to try one. LOL. As for the odd stuff coming out…undigested food looks pretty nasty. Alot of fermenting and crap(pun intended) going on in there. Apparently stretching your intestinal walls can weaken them over a several…sprays. 
Not gaining the weight back. Hmm? Yah got me there. Alright I’m done talking about poop. Ciao.
Just as I suspected… all arms and no back.
poliquin in an interview on his site talked about prioritizing upper and lower back when he worked with Boston. To the guy who said Boston’s got no legs, who cares how big they are. They’re sprinter’s legs and they get the job done. Those bodybuilder legs are only for show.
Sprinters legs? Do you know what you’re talking about? Go to charliefrancis.com and take a look at Ben Johnson’s legs. Tell me they’re small.
Here is a portion of another D-Bo article:
At 20, he turned pro. But the NFL was full of hard bodies, and after that auto accident, he needed an edge. And so his chiropractor referred him to a Canadian bodybuilder named Charles Poliquin.
Poliquin, known for bulking up hockey players and bobsledders, set two primary goals for Boston: reduce his insulin levels with a low-carb, high-protein diet and vitamin supplements, and raise his growth hormone levels with vigorous workouts to build muscle. There would be blood tests to monitor it all, and there would be 90-minute IV drips of magnesium and minerals to help his body recover. (“I lay there during these drips and listen to trance music, you know, ocean music,” Boston says.) It was all done away from his teammates, which is why, when he showed up at Cardinals camp bigger and faster in 2001, the rumors about HGH started spreading.
“Blah, blah, blah,” says Poliquin, who’s based in Tempe, Ariz. “As a 25-year-old guy, David produces more growth hormone than he could buy in a store. An intense workout will boost your growth hormone nine times above normal levels. You’d have to shoot yourself up with a week’s supply of HGH to equate one workout. People say he’s on drugs. Food, if used properly, is a drug. So, yeah, he’s on drugs. He buys 'em at Safeway.”
Researchers agree that exercise increases growth hormone levels, but they say it’s unlikely an athlete could gain 50 pounds of muscle through workouts, food and supplements alone. Boston didn’t want to hear that. He told Poliquin he wanted a full-time trainer, someone to tell him what to eat and when to eat it. So Poliquin referred him to one of his colleagues, a former Canadian Olympic bobsledder named Ian Danney. Originally from Guyana, Danney is foremost a speed trainer. But he’s also a former biochemistry major at the University of Alberta who, says Poliquin, is using biomechanics to advance his theories. Boston asked Danney to train him, and Danney agreed – and walked right into the rumor mill.
Boston made it clear during contract talks with Chargers GM A.J. Smith that he and Danney were a package deal. At Schottenheimer’s request, Boston promised to work out twice a week at the team facility, but he otherwise wanted to be free to train alone with his guy. “We’re flexible,” Smith says. “It all worked out.”
But a handful of Charger players and coaches are already curious about Danney, who often stands with his backpack on the fringe of the Chargers’ practice field. The truth is, other than at meetings and practices, Boston and Danney are inseparable. Boston still sleeps in the room he shares with Tomlinson. He signs in every day at the team cafeteria, but then he’s off to see what organic food Danney has for him. It’s Danney who organizes Boston’s day. It’s Danney who brings in the registered nurses for the post-practice IV drips. It’s Danney who has Boston take an average of 90 pills a day. And it’s Danney who does the hormone and insulin testing in Room 614. Even though Schottenheimer and Smith say they’re unconcerned, the accusations come anyway. They come from a strength coach who used to work with Poliquin: “I started to question it this past year because I’ve compared pictures of David in 2001 to now. And his cheekbones have changed.” (Doctors say excessive amounts of HGH, which is legally available only from a physician, can induce elongation of the jaw muscle.) They come from current and former NFL players who assume a 6’2" wideout can’t outweigh Lennox Lewis. “David works hard,” says wide receiver Rob Moore, Boston’s former teammate, “but who wouldn’t get suspicious?”
“I hear this all the time,” says Boston. “People question me because my physique is totally different from everybody else’s in the league. What am I supposed to do? I pass every drug test. I eat the right things. I work out hard. And when I sign a big contract, instead of buying a Benz, I move my trainer out here. Some people go to the movies; I like to lift weights and run. All I care about is my body. I take hot and cold contrast baths to flush my system out. I pay five grand to have a doctor test every pill I take. I watch my calorie intake. I take antioxidants. I eat egg whites and cottage cheese, lean steak with asparagus, protein shakes before and after practice, sushi and simple carbs at night like blueberries. I eat six, seven meals a day. Yeah, I’m over 250. But I’ll be 240 on opening day. I can lose weight any time I want.”
But he can gain it, too. How big can he get? He sits in Room 614 and thinks about it. “Maybe 290,” he says. “It wouldn’t be for football, but give me a year and I could get to 290.”
who cares how big they are…they have to be pretty strong to run as fast as he runs. i bet they are huge.
Dawkins is a hard hitter. I want to see Boston play over the middle. Lets see if he can cross the middle like Rice and take a hit and not go to the sidelines whining about his oblique hurting or some damn thing. We need Tatum back so that Boston could get some regular hits when the Chargers play the Raiders. Then we will see if he is good or not. Maybe Charles Woodson will lay him out like he did that other dude last year. I am gonna watch and see if he goes across the middle. If he won’t then he ain’t worth the money, big arms or no. I would take Rice or Tim Brown over Boston any day
john clark, are you a bodybuilder? Is the extent of your sprint knowledge derived from pics of Ben Johnson? any olineman or dlineman will have bigger legs than than any sprinter. Sprinters legs means mostly hams and glutes, not quads. Again, Boston has plenty of speed, who cares how big his legs are; they get the job done.
Peter in 2001, Boston had 3 catches in the first game, and 1 in the second when Champ was covering him.
Unfortunately Marty ran a lot of zone coverage, and in the first game Boston did get over 100 yards, but it wasn’t on Champ. He never did well against Bailey.
Actually I was a sprinter in college…nice try. If you look at any sprinters legs, yes they have big hamstrings and glutes. Boston has NEITHER of those.
John, it seems to me you are a Raider fan. That’s the problem. Not Boston’s leg size.
Boston’s skinny legs…
john clark, is Boston faster at 245 than you ever were? Why hate on the guy? If you actually ran in college as you claim you did, you should know that muscle mass and definition are not requirements to run fast
Renegade Raider/Dragon, I’m a Redskin fan and I’ve seen Boston outmuscle Bailey for the ball several times. As for Woodson, there was that game winning slant pattern Boston took the distance against Woodson after shoving him to the ground like a rag doll.
I never ran 40, so I wouldn’t know. What good is it being able to run 40 yards straight unless he’s going to be running go’s all day (which you know he won’t).
p.s. I know twice as much about training than you do so stop. Yes, you don’t HAVE to have big legs. Every sprinter I’ve ever seen has big hamstrings/gluts (not like bodybuilder, but big), and decent calves.
“p.s. I know twice as much about training than you do so stop.”
Some people imply this in their posts. This guy comes out and says it. No beating around the bush here.
