    I agree with all of this. Botha was also busted by the way, and by golly if he was busted, then who the heck isn't using the stuff?
    But it's not confined to only the heavies...I'd imagine most fighters, sad as it is to say, do something these days.

    I forgot him another not only blatant Roider, but someone abusing Roids and not getting the best results for a boxer with them.

    Sure is.

    I'm heavily into bodybuilding myself and anyway that compares creatine to even a light steroid like Winstrol or Epistane is ****ing clueless.

    Tampering with your thyroid is a way to lose ridiculous amounts of weight in a short time. Ali was having harder and harder times making weight later in his career, cutting down.

    10 to 1 odds that's why he was on them.

    My own research (nowhere near as extensive) and obervations lead me to agree 100%

    Yes but stack the latest CEE Creatine & Creatine Malate, with a Nitric Oxide System that has high strengths NO catalysts, high dose AAKG & Citrulline Malate (throw in every NO Amino for good measure), combine with high dose Beta Alanine, a 6 pronged stimulant system, a thyroid booster, advanced recovery aminos, and you can get some pretty staggering results.

    Take a high dose of that first time out and you'll have the shits though :yep

    My boxing trainer doesnt want me using supplements or weight training. He wants me doing tons and tons of body weight excersices until I cant do anymore. So I will be lean cut and fast. not bulky and uncoordinated

    My Trainer defintley knows what hes talking about when it comes to nutrition(eating habits) . I train at a famous world class gym for crying out loud.

    He blatantly doesn't have full nutritional knowledge, which includes supplements. By discounting supplements you lose advantages, thats why most world class boxers supplement.

    He also doesn't know a great deal about training. Bodyweight exercises are weight training, its just using your body as a weight instead of a weight on a bar. So why only use bodyweight exercises?

    Standing presses and Power Jerks build punching power more than press ups. You can do high reps of these exercises much like you can of press ups. So why aren't these advocated? Because your trainer doesn't know about training. I don't know if he knows boxing maybe he does, supporting boxing training he doesnt.

    Which would be more expensive than a solid steroid cycle I could buy from any number of places online.

    Maybe more expensive but it would be sports legal, which is the point. We run all those ingredients in 1 product anyway but its a little bitter and dosage on a few ingredients are a little compromised

    Yes I do more than him on nutrition and sports science. Does he know more than me about boxing technique, possibly. A wise man takes advice from all sources

    I didnt realise Peronelli trained either Robinson, Greb or Monzon :rofl Seriously any good trainer could of made Hagler a champ though, Hagler's ability was innate.
