Faulty logic. How many guys do you know of who will relay what their drug profile is? You could literally use an epi-pen while bending down to look in your gym bag. You could use it 10min before in the restroom for that matter. Why would you think the use of epinephrine would be off limits? That was why ephedrine was used previously.
Well…theyre pretty open about everything else that theyre taking…

Should the day come where I want to train like a Powerlifter and wear all the elaborate suits and triple ply bench shirts that you need 4 people to get you into and then have them wet it down to shrink wrap it to your body so you turn yourself into a human power spring and then on top of this be shot full of Adrenalin-which can stop your heart instantly and is something I would never dare do to myself-- to lift even more weight than your muscles would normally be able to lift under normal training circumstances then I will do so.
Understand, this is no knock against Powerlifters, but I think it is important that people understand what really goes on. I train to build muscle and the weights I use, I use daily … day in and day out. Many Powerlifters wind up setting records by lifting a given weight that they cannot come anywhere near lifting (given the circumstances I mentioned above) a week later in the gym or ever again for that matter.
No one “wets down” a bench shirt after they put it on. Some people wash them occasionally between uses. This whole thing reeks of poetic license.
If jacking up is such a common occurrence, then there would have to be someone who has gotten hurt doing it in the 6 or 7 years since Trevor wrote that or sometime before.
How many of you guys powerlift? How many of you have ever been to a real multiply meet?
Of course, I can get BG to ask the multiple WR holders that she sees on a daily basis if they know anything about any of this.[/quote]
The thing is, I don’t think anyone would tell you. It’s the same thing with steroids. People are super impressed how big/strong you are…until you tell them you take steroids. Then they are like “Oh…”. I don’t think anyone would readily admit that to anyone that they didn’t fully trust. No offense to you or BG, but in the PLing world you guys are still amateurs. Same thing for me and BBing. I have a pretty good idea of what goes on, but I can guarantee you there will be plenty of things I would never even hear of until I am in the pro ranks or a very high level national competitor.(Assuming at some point I even get there)
