Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below Please help me to convince a friend that people that compete in World Championships in Powerlifting and World Strongest Man use some sort of Doping (usually steroids or Growth Hormone or both). I was trying to concinve him, explaining that steroids do play a large role when it come to strength and recovery. But he thinks that one can train himself up naturally, just by training a longer period of time i.e. 10 years instead of 5. What do you think, do competitiors in World Strongest Man use drugs?
Do strong men use steroids? HELP!

I have just as much respect for the chemically enhanced as natural. What matters is that you do things for the right reasons -- and thats what I respect.

plus you still have to put in the diet and training, especially those strong man competitiors. Its not as though they shoot a gram of test and watch Drream of Jeanie all day. They are training & eating and training some more. It still requires very hard work to be successful.
If you take a day off, somewhere someone is still working, and when you meet in competition he who worked harder wins.

I train pretty hard and I go through LOTS of pains. Some good and some worse than most can ever dream.
There are a few competitive strongmen who have been training with me now for several months. When they started I told them that my body hurt every single day...somewhere. They thought that I was crazy. I've been pushing them HARD now for about 6 weeks and they now understand.
Strongman is about the work...

well they probably do juice but the key is whether they juice or not they still have to train fucking hard and have good genetics. without that, they could try 5gms of test and still be nowhere.
i read an interview with one of the wsm competitors a while back. he said that everyone juiced, exept for maybe a few. he said the majority of the guys stayed on year round of about 600mg test and maybe 200mg deca. when competitions started getting closer they would just up all the doseges and do more orals and shit. you can read the interview at www.t-mag.com just type WSM into the search engine there.

That would be VERY low for the off-season for most strongmen that I know. The test seems about right for a short time in an off season...but there really isn't much of an off season anymore.
I've heard some stories about Mariuz and his use...and was told that he loves growth, slin, and winny. Growth and slin is becoming A LOT more of a factor here in the US as well.

I personally know some of the strongman competitors and I can tell you that they ALL use gear not as much test as you would think more insulin and growth than anything, BUT they all train their asses off I am here to tell you, I have trained (well did my best to train) with a few of them...

Of course they use...but its true you dont need as much drugs to get strong as you do to get big. And I mean this as with bodybuilders need a lot of drugs to help them add muscle world strongmen and powerlifters dont need nearly as much to be incredibly strong. Drugs in world strongmen dont just help you become super strong but also help to protect you from the things you do while you compete, without drugs many people's bodies would already be broken.
