Whats the juicing at Strongman like?

[riverrock]

Hello All,

I was watching Strongman on TV last night and it was amazing stuff. Now, these are Big Big men who are all at least 6'0 and well over the 260LB mark. Its a build that allows people to have a strong natural physique anyhow, but how much juicing goes on, what might they take, and is there testing in the sport?

i would think a lot of anadrol, halo, and tren and huge amounts of test are involved. like you said though these guys were built to do that. i certainly was not lol.

Where's Steelmass?, i think he was a strongman

I have a strongman on my forum, he always talks about his test , halo and anadrol cycles - go figure

It is huge in my experience, I know several national level guys in the UK, and 5g+ of various compounds per week is not unusual, if they can afford it. Plus GH, slin and IGF for those with even bigger cheque books.

And I thought they were all natural...

Theres no drug-testing

they even juice just before the competition
it would not surprise me if they take some hard stimulants to get good pumps

Then why did Pudzianowski get his 1st place trophy taken away in the 2004 WSM?

I just saw a vid yesterday with Mario Pudz giving himself a shot.(Or at least implied) But it was in a different language so I couldnt tell exactly what was said. But they showed Mario Pudz doing an interview, cut to a whole table full of vials, then showed a large syringe going into someones glute. I saw another strongman on OLN(I think) and the guys back acne was obviously from steroids.

That was for rec drugs, some places, e.g WSM, test for those, but not AAS.

The IFSA certainly does have an AAS testing policy. Whether it's just for show or not I won't speculate, but the guidelines for their testing policy is clearly listed on their website.

[cityhick]

Strongmen and Vince are all on HRT! Duh. They dont want to die when they are like 45 from steroids.

I trained with a worldclass strongman and i'll just put it to you like this... they are on it all. You can pretty much look at a guy and tell what he is running atm - someone like marius runs short esters and stuff like test/tren/mast/winny/halo etc... The big bloated bulked guys are probably on lots of Test,deca,dbol,anadrol.

Slin and GH are definitely used as well.

My favorite cycle for strongman would be Test/Tren/Deca/Dbol (with dostinex). Deca for joints and +nitrogen, tren for strength and aggression, test as a base, and Dbol for kickstart. Obviously slin also. Never have, but would up the slin and run HGH also.

Oh ya and Halo the day of competition is fcking unreal!

It is without a doubt a huge sport for injuries, I have trained with some strongmen, just to try out the events, but I could not compete at it, my body just would not hold up.

You need to have naturally strong joints and tendons, IMO.

I know some national/world calss bodybuilders and powerlifters, and the strongmen take the most AAS by far, (out of the guys I know).

I laughed at an interview of the final 4 WSM. The Polish guy was so much more muscular then the three smooth guys. One of the three made a crack about trying to beat the freaks.

 

[NYBodyguard]

[mikefear]

test test test and more test.
