Fans stunned by Anthony Joshua’s ‘lean’ physique as he shares new training pictures

Maybe he's ill? A wasting disease? He'll be down under 200 by fight night.

 

TYSON FURY has labelled Anthony Joshua a 'chicken nugget' as he took aim at his heavyweight rival's chiseled physique.

The two Brits looked set to clash in an undisputed fight during the summer before an arbitrator ruled that Fury had to take on Deontay Wilder for a third time - a dust-up that will now take place on October 9 in Las Vegas.

Speaking to Gary Neville on The Overlap, Fury joked: "Yeah, I backed out and I admit it. I'm scared of him.

"I fought the best men in the world in their prime and beat them, but I'm scared of this plum.

"I'm gonna call him a chicken nugget, just because he's ripped and I'm jealous."

 

Nah, Joshua may well be on the juice, but it makes no sense to assume absent evidence that everyone is.
That is as evidence & logic-free as those who are naive enough to believe nobody is.
That all are fake positives-or even that nobody who does not test positive successfully doses & cheats!

We do not even know if the majority of boxers have dabbled in PEDs, or use regularly.
I have lifted for decades & you can read the literature about natural capacities-some do have the ability to get this size & definition naturally.
Others use PEDs & they do not look like it; not very bulky, or muscle is covered with fat.


Folks often believe what supports their prejudices, what justifies their preconceptions, what their Ego identifies with.
Unless there is good evidence-which can include getting bigger faster when already strng than naturally possible, or being a pro HW bodybuilder size, like Ronnie Coleman ripped at under 6' & ~ 300 lbs...

The truth is we usually do not know who is a dirty rotten cheatin' liar!

 

But if his legs are much more muscular then even if his whole upper body is proportionately smaller, he has built MORE muscle mass.
Fuhggetitabout that the biceps themselves are a relatively small muscle & both account for 3% of total muscle mass.

60% of all muscle is normally below the waist. So if what is claimed about him is true, he should be carrying MORE muscle mass.
Which all other things being equal would HURT his endurance.
At least compared to when he was no more tha mid 230's in recent years, such as against Ruiz 2.

 

Seriously man...

Performance
Enhancing
Drug

Inhances your performance... Theres about 1000 drugs that fall into this category.

If it makes you be able to go harder and longer, doesnt that amount to stamina?

Not all PEDs are designed to build muscle, so that's an incorrect assumption on your part.

Anavar.
Winstrol.

Those are 2 examples of anabolic steroids that may help with lean muscle, but arent for bulking and are used by track athletes and other sports when bulking muscles dont suit you. They most definitely help you with aerobic activity.

 

He'll be like 235-240 for this fight.
Is he really going to try and outskill Usyk? Risky business

 

You ... you can't be this naive/uninformed, surely.

 

Even riskier to bulk up and try to take him out early

 

You are mostly correct. But Stanozolol (Winstrol is the brand name) is a traditional body building drug that is absolutely used for bulking.
Although you can also keep low body fat easier with it.

It can increase endurance & drive during a work out. But what is ambiguous is if you add significant muscle with or without PEDs, that or any extra weight needs to be oxygenated, so all other things being equal you tend to have less endurance-like AJ when he weighed 250 & more-although you may well have more energy & drive for working out due to all the androgens coursing through your system!

 

Yes I get it. Stanozolol is definitely used by athletes who require stamina over strength though which was my point.
I never took Anavar (too expensive), but I did 2 cycles with Winstrol and I was in tremendous condition. This was when I was boxing all the time. I can say from experience I leaned out and was able to do more for longer.

 

So nothing exists to improve stamina?

Learn something new everyday huh

 

Needs to build some big muscles on that Crystal chin of his.

 

He's always had relatively big legs though, hasn't he? Apparently his muscles now are mainly just 'naturally' happening through boxing. I think we both know what we think about that one. His weight will be interesting - I don't expect it will be Takam high by any means but he won't be as light as Ruiz II.

Joshua is naturally a genetic freak, no doubt about it, but he's getting some 'special' vitamins, also no doubt about it.

 

EPO should be legal in high level endurance sport like boxing..
