Does a fighter taking PED`s help his ability to take a shot?

Yes if they work longer and harder on their legs,core and neck as well as general strength and fitness.

 

PEDs don’t magic anything.

They just allow you to train for longer durations,more often and at a higher intensity.

 

Its amazing to me that people here are actually defending ped use. fcking morons!

 

Seemed to work for Evander...

In all seriousness though

Which would help with recovery from fight-ending shots....

 

Where?

 

Wtf

 

Why would someone even bother wasting everyone's time with their ignorant opinions if they have not actually experienced what they are discussing? Go take a modest dose of TEST with some winstrol and after a week see for yourself. Not only will you be able to take a better shot, your entire body will become far more tolerant to physical stress.

 

PEDs do many things>the term covers things such as EPO which helps with endurance & aerobic fitness
You likely just mean the strength & size enhancing drugs such as steroids HGH & their potentiaters

Even what is listed as them "just" doing is a lot
But they do more than described above

They do not just get you there faster & ALLOW YOU TO TRAIN HARDER & RECOVE times your natural hormone levels in your body faster>
But you can attain much more strength & size than you could absent stuffing many times the male or growth hormone level you could naturally in your body

Also it is easier to gain muscle when drugging despite doing much of what amounts to cardio work

It depends what you take in what combination & HOW LONG + HOW YOUR BODY REACTS
But this cheating allows greater explosiveness power muscle & yes the total effect can be to help punch resistance
Even endurance IF you take the right things But gaining much musle & retaining or gaining endurance is difficult
Though rules & things like length of fights & more clinching allowed may make it unnecessary

Either way it is wrong & stealing success money + victories from honest law abiders

 

This. Steroids won't magically give a fighter with a bad chin a good one. Overeem is a perfect example. Steroids allowed him to put on massive size, since he was able to train harder, but he still had one of the worst chin's I've ever seen. Arlovski is another guy that had an incredibly weak chin despite all of steroids he took. No amount of steroids or other performance enhancers will make an average fighter an elite fighter. However, performance enhancers can help an elite athlete keep his spot longer than if he didn't use them, since once an athlete hits their mid 30's they can't consistently put out elite level performances anymore..

 

Taking PEDs
|
Perfom better in training, train longer and with more intensity
|
training = more effective
|
losing fat not muscles, building up muscles
|
being harder with the same weight, having a better stamina

Of course taking PEDs can not correct a glass chin like David Price for example (not accusing Pricey to take PEDs by the way, only an example) but of course you are having some major advantages compared to a clean fighter, definitely.

 

Winstrol can help to a point, but it still won't save a fighter if they take a complete pounding. Alot of the K-1 fighters back in the day used Winstrol. Tito Ortiz used it regularly, but it didn't stop Chuck Liddell from crushing him twice.

 

because chit posters like you are too busy ACTING enlightened, instead of sharing their knowledge and actually showing some enlightenment.

 

Most PEDs are administered through needles, so it helps them take lots of shots.

 

This. If a fighter actually trains to maximize what he's taking, he'll take a better shot because conditioning is a factor in punch resistance.

If he thinks popping a PED medley and then sleeping on the couch eating cheezy Poofs all day will give him McCall's beard, he's screwed. Unless the fighter in question is actually McCall.
