    Ironic, seeing as you are the one who appears to have denied flatout that I'd said muscle gain from steroids use or non steroidal exercise increase the basal metabolic rate. Why would you ignore the facts I gave you?

    If you've simply not understood what I wrote then thats cool with me, but you'll forgive me for becoming suspicious that you are just trying to appear to be right rather than perusing the facts.


    So if you are being genuine then read on, if not, stop here.

    One way you can improve your post quality on this subject is to avoid quoting a website that is supported by steroid sales. Use a medical journal. If you had done that, you'd have avoided being horribly misinformed that 'steroids buffer lactic acid'. They DONT. Period. The lynchpin of your counterargument is wrong.

    It is the creatine in muscle which helps buffer lactic acid, and thus helps recovery from training. This is what your article writer SHOULD HAVE WRITTEN, but he didnt, because he wants to relate improvement to steroids as as to market them. Creatine is natural in muscles. (The article writer should have written that since anabolics build muscle fast, they aid in recovery from training a little faster, by REBUILDING damaged muscle faster than someone on no supplements at all).

    But to return to the key word, creatine.

    More muscle mass=more creatine.

    If you now recall my previous post - more muscle=higher BMR. It doesnt matter whether that muscle is gained using anabolics or not, AS LONG AS YOU GET THE EXTRA MUSCLE, YOU GET THE EXTRA CREATINE and the extra BMR.




    Theres no real point in further denying that anabolics act by increasing muscle mass primarily, and the secondary effects of raised BMR are a result of the muscle mass, not the drug, unless you are auditioning for Team Elite levels of ignorance.

    Which is what I stated in the first place you clown! You could have saved yourself time writing out all that irrelevant rubbish if you would have just admitted I was right in the first place. That increased recovery time means you can train at a higher intensity, leading to improved strength, stamina speed and power :deal

    You accusing someone else of being ignorant? Pot kettle black :lol:

    no, I havent said what you said, its you who is claiming stamina and speed. I have claimed strength alone, with 2ndary effects related to muscle growth and NOT related to the steroids themselves as you are claiming. You are treating ALL these effects and more as stemming from steroids themselves. They dont come from the steroid, clearly and blatantly. You've never mentioned creatine once yet, but were happy to follow an article that falsely told you that anabolic steroids buffer lactic acid. An anabolic steroid could NEVER act as a buffer, it doesnt have the dual formations needed to do that in the bloodstream.

    I've only ever said it helps build muscle mass. Muscle mass can be gained through weight training alone. Two equal body builders with the same muscle mass and the same 2ndary effects from that muscle mass will have the same speed and stamina, even if one is peded to the eyeballs with anabolics and one has zero anabolics. Do you understand why you have to compare like for like? You MUST understand this scientific requirement, if not I think this is where you are going wrong.

    The one way that you can legit claim that anabolics helps you recover faster is because they build muscle faster, they can build damaged muscle faster too. Do you understand that building muscle and rebuilding muscle are the same claims, since muscle is in a constant state of building and rebuilding throughout your life?

    You would try and argue that the earth is flat, and the moon is made of cheese to try and save face, instead of just admitting you misinterpreted what I originally wrote. It's ok to concede herol, no-one will think any less of you

    I can see that you are writing that because you want to 'win' -thats why you are pretending that I am talking about speed and fitness. Its you talking about them, and never me.

    I just want to put across the facts - anabolics build muscle. The exact mechanism for how this happens in muscle tissue is here - wiki- anabolic steroids -The pharmacodynamic action of anabolic steroids begin when the exogenous hormone penetrates the membrane of the target cell and binds to an [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Androgen_receptor"]androgen receptor[/ame] located in the [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytoplasm"]cytoplasm[/ame] of that cell..... either alters the [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_expression"]expression[/ame] of [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene"]genes[/ame][22] or activates processes that [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_transduction"]send signals[/ame] to other parts of the cell. The effect of anabolic steroids on muscle mass is caused in at least two ways:[25] first, they increase the [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_biosynthesis"]production of proteins[/ame]; second, they reduce recovery time by blocking the effects of stress hormone [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cortisol"]cortisol[/ame] on muscle tissue, so that [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catabolism"]catabolism[/ame] of muscle is greatly reduced. It has been [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothesized"]hypothesized[/ame] that this reduction in muscle breakdown may occur through anabolic steroids inhibiting the action of other steroid hormones called [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucocorticoid"]glucocorticoids[/ame] that promote the breakdown of muscles.[26] Anabolic steroids also affect the number of cells that develop into fat-storage cells, by favouring [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_differentiation"]cellular differentiation[/ame] into muscle cells instead.[27] Anabolic steroids can also decrease fat by increasing [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basal_metabolic_rate"]basal metabolic rate[/ame] (BMR), since an increase in muscle mass increases BMR.

    If you can post up the mechanisms for how anabolics increase speed and fitness instead of paraphrasing 'schooled you' with no actual answer as to how your claim works, then it'd be great to hear from you. You can have eternity to reply in - happy searching.

    Can't agree with that pal.

    Remember those punches are in slow motion and if memory serves me right i think that was only the 3rd round.

    What was impressive for me in this fight was that Calzaghe got put down hard in that 1st round but by the 2nd or 3rd round Joe had the confidence to drop his hands and poke his face through Roy's guard. That just shows the confidence that Joe had in his ability, its the type of thing that comes from Joe being unbeaten and feeling invincible in that squared circle.

    Nonsense, revisionism and hindsight is a wonderfull thing after the event.

    Lets take a look at what respected figures in the boxing fraternity were saying prior to the fight . . . . . .





    Bernard Hopkins- Former two-division world champion

    Fought Joe Calzaghe on April 19, 2008 and lost by split decision

    Fought Roy Jones Jr. May 22, 1993 and lost by unanimous decision



    “Jones by unanimous decision based on his speed and power.”



    Lennox Lewis- Former heavyweight champion

    "Jones has unbelievable speed and Calzaghe's never fought anyone like him. Jones likes it when his opponent comes to him and unfortunately for Calzaghe, that's exactly what he does; comes to his opponent and is right in their face. I pick Jones on points, but I think it’ll be a very close fight."



    Jeff Lacy- Former IBF super middleweight champion

    Fought Joe Calzaghe March 4, 2006 and lost by unanimous decision



    “It’s going to be a hard fight to pick. If Jones doesn't stay on the ropes and give Calzaghe angles and lots of movement I'm going to go with Jones by decision. Roy can't stay on the ropes and give Joe the chance to throw his slapping punches. This is a great fight for Jones to win and setup a big money fight again with Hopkins!”



    Glen Johnson- Former IBF, IBO and Ring Magazine light heavyweight champion

    Fought Roy Jones September 25, 2004 and won by KO in 9th round



    “Roy Jones will win. I believe Calzaghe fights an amateur style. He throws a lot of slappy punches. Roy throws much more meaningful punches. In general, Calzaghe will throw more punches than Roy, but Roy’s will be harder hitting. Unless the judges are blind, they will see that the harder punches make Jones the winner. They should see that Roy Jones’ hard-hitting punches make the difference.”



    Vernon Forrest - WBC welterweight champion

    “Roy Jones is still the best fighter in my era and still arguably one of the best fighters period. Roy with his speed can match Calzaghe, and he has power. So the power and speed is with Roy. Roy by decision.”



    Paulie Malignaggi- Former IBF junior welterweight champion.



    "It's a hard fight to pick. I thought Calzaghe at first because, but maybe he's too much for Roy right now. But based on what Joe just said about the three Brits beating the three Americans (Calzaghe-Jones, Hatton-Malignaggi, Haye-Barrett), I'm pulling Roy home.....Jones by decision."



    Winky Wright- Former world junior middleweight champion



    “I think Roy is going to win. I think that his punches are going to be sharper than Calzaghe’s and I think that Roy is a harder puncher. I think it might go all 12 rounds, but if somebody gets stopped I think its Calzaghe late in the fight.”



    Dan Rafael- ESPN.com



    “Although Calzaghe is the favorite, I think Jones' style and speed -- he's still fast -- are going to give him problems. I think it will be a tough, close fight but I'm going with the upset special. I like Jones to pull it out on a close decision.”



    Gordon Marino- Wall Street Journal



    ”Jones over Calzaghe. This is a fascinating fight. Jones is still quick and with his awkward style and dangerous punching power is able to freeze very active opponents like Calzaghe. I'm picking Jones by a decision.”



    Tim Smith- New York Daily News



    “Roy Jones has good power and I think that will offset the volume of punches that Calzaghe throws. Calzaghe has a good chin so I don't see him getting knocked out. I like Jones in a decision.”



    Franklin McNeil- Newark Star Ledger

    “On paper, Calzaghe should not have much difficulty getting by Jones. Calzaghe is a southpaw, and Jones has had his most difficult outings against non-orthodox fighters. And though each man has quite a few miles on his tires, Jones has logged a bit more. The physical edge goes to Calzaghe, but stylistically Jones’ constant movement could prove to be beneficial. If Jones can control the pace, make Calzaghe miss, score with counter shots and his stamina holds up, he will win. Jones wins by decision.”



    Bobby Cassidy- Newsday

    “I like Roy Jones in the 11th round TKO. Calzaghe does not have the power to keep Jones honest. I think by the second half of the fight Jones will be picking him a part. Calzaghe looked so good against Hopkins because Hopkins didn't have the firepower to slow him down. But Jones has both speed and power. In other fights, Calzaghe has been able to adjust to one of those assets; he won't be able to adjust to both, especially from a fighter like Jones.”

    Was it around 98 when Lou Del Valle first exposed the glaring punch resistance weaknesses?

    If roy was beating cab drivers during his prime, then joe was beating the homeless. Regardless of delusional resume ripping, the fight at that point in time put a well past it jones against a slightly declining joe. It says nothing about how it would of went prime vs prime. A decent win, because jones was winning well picked fights and was still relevant in the media, and you still gotta win, but no masterclass on any level, and any unbiased eye knows it. Anytime prior to 2003 that is an entirely different fight.
