There is an author who writes about this topic in a very educated way
IMHO, I would love to see Poundstone and all top Strong Man “exposed” for AAS use. Fuck all naive spectators, fuck all people who watch a sport they don’t understand shit about anyways. Let them turn away from it because we don’t need 'em and I personally don’t even want them watching.
I believe every one of us who picked up Strong Man did it for themselves because, well you wanna see how strong you can possibly get.
That’s my coach speaking here but I fully agree: You gotta do your thing even when you’re just the freak show at some lame-ass fair and nobody’s paying attention to what you’re doing, when instead of metal there’s country music playing in the background.
I know Poundstone for example absolutely loves the sport and would do everything in his might to promote it and I respect that a lot. However, I personally don’t give two shits about spectators. Just my angry 2 cents
without the spectators where is the money going to come from to televise or hell even organize strongman events. while i definitely see your point as a competitor, economics still play a roll in ANY sport.

Ok, so let me clear some stuff up here. I have been training strongman with Travis Ortmayer for the last year and trained with him exclusively for this years worlds strongest man,and in my prep to turn professional, we have become pretty good friends.
Answer 1- yes, Pudz tested negative for recreational drugs, not AAS.
Answer 2- There is no longer a strongman federation that tests for AAS, an individual running a competition can if he/she desires.
Answer 3- Pudz and Poundstone are on as much gear as you think they are. They also happen to be genetic freaks, have crazy work ethic and have the best training programs that is possible to have.
Answer 4- There are guys at the top who have never used AAS or no longer use them. I wont name any names on this one.
The fact of the matter is like has been stated here, people just want to see big guys move big shit. In my conversations with people outside of strongman most assume that AAS use is common but dont care so much and are still impressed. The general public also doesnt have any real clue what can be achieved naturally. I get asked often if Im on gear with only a 650 deadlift and 500lb front squat.
Thats my 2 cents.[/quote]
So you wont name any names of who doesnt use, but you have no compunctions about commenting on the size of poundstone and mariusz supposed stacks? that’s completely backwards. I’m also certain that you have zero first hand knowledge of their use, and willing to bet you dont have second hand knowledge either, jsut supposition and guesses. Which, incidentally, is all you really have about the ones who supposedly dont use as well
If I were a lesser man I would care about your opinion.

Then why respond at all?
Hey, look at me! I’m the bigger man by not responding with this response.

right, so it’s responding by not responding and not naming names of drug-free guys. In other news, black is white, up is down, the water pistol squirts jelly and the train has square wheels.
The strongman sub-forum has officially become the land of misfit toys.
haha. this shit is funny. who will save the strongman forum (which i just recently found, btw)?!

Rather than this total shit fest of a thread, I would be curious as to hear actual discussion of what a cycle would look like for a pro strongman.[/quote]
That would be interesting.
Who really gives a shit whether or not some guys use and some don’t. I am going to go out on a limb and say there are alot of people using it on the pro and am level. Do the top guys use? I would bet anything on the fact that almost every guy at WSM does. Does that mean anything if they all do? Not at all.
For every WSM there is using there are 50 guys who suck ass using the same dosage, so if the drugs did it then there would a ton more guys performing like the top guys. As far as a cycle it will range from someone just using 500-750 mg a week of test to maintain a constant test level to guys using injectibles, orals, hgh, epo and you name it.
As far as jr’s comment on pudz and poundstone. Does anyone seriously doubt that they use a shit load? Look at the picks of how bloated poundstone’s face is while maintaining a 6 pack. Tell me thats natural and I’ll tell you pam anderson’s tits are natural.

Masterone
Trenbolone
Testosterone
Winstrol
Tbol
Halotestin
probably the most likely IMO

Detroitlionsbaby: I totally agree with these. How about Equipoise/Boldenone? The increase mass, strength, and blood volume would help significantly, wouldn’t you think?

Its perfectly natural for tits to get that big when you jam enough silicon or whatever in em.

I don’t really see what the big deal is. If they get a good surgeon and the silicone:real breast ratio isn’t completely out of wack, it seems natural to me.
