COPE
This is wildly delusional…these guys actually know better😆 Its cool to protect your buddies though👍 I literally know people at the top in IPF and the people around them all know theyre on this and that… definitely not at the level of untested but its extremely far from drug free. C'mon guys…
Probably some of the guys this guy coaches
Honestly who even cares. Unless you are some kind of phenom freak who has the natural strenth to be competitive at the top level in a fair playing field, the difference between you and the guy squatting 900lbs is not drugs. There is no substance in the world that will make you competitive at that level if you don't have the gifts that those guys have.
Short answer: yes.
Whaaat? No fucking way. They get tested so they can't possibly be on. No athlete in any sport has ever gotten away with cheating for years. Also these guys consistently tell everyone they're natural, even when no one asks, so they're obviously natural.
Mr 83’s obviously
This guy calling Russ natty takes away all validity of his opinion
Crossfit athletes are all on the good sauce.
What's kinda hilarious know is the new trend in Hollywood for the "new natties" is being on TRT. I think Alan Richardson admitted to being on TRT and he was talking about how he's "always" been natural, but he developed "low testosterone" over the years getting older and now he is on TRT. Like it's the cop out in a way for celebrity fake natties.
In contrast to the fake natty, has anyone ever seen a fake enhanced person? Like someone who tells you they're on steroids but they're so weak and small that you believe they're lying?
The 45 year old celebrities saying they put on 15lbs. of lean muscle in 3 months to go play XYZ superhero by eating healthy and working out twice a day are full of shit. If you're that age doing two a day's getting jacked, you're on steroids. Just admit it. We're not going to like you less.
David o Hearn prolly
You can fail a drug test in powerlifting for weed???
Thank god these videos still exist
BART isn’t natty stop lying to the PEOPLE
The fact of the matter is that people who do steroids usually fall in three camps, top athletes in sports where there are massive financial incentives to do so with no alternatives (UFC, Baseball, Crossfit), fake natty influencers like Mike O'Hearn or recreational lifters who you see at commercial gyms to where you can't even tell that they're on shit.
USAPL tests 10% of their lifters at every meet they do, the reason most of these tests come back clean is because most people involved in drug tested powerlifting have no incentive to cheat. The mid-20s amateur powerlifter with a 350 DOTS score is likely not spending thousands of dollars a month to be the Nebraska State Champ.
John Haack is the only untested powerlifter who has had a long career. Everyone who competed in untested powerlifting circa 2015 in the untested side when I first got into the sport has fallen off the map. Steroids are not good for longevity, otherwise Eric Lilliebridge would still be competing. Meanwhile David Ricks is still squatting 600 lbs in his 60s.
I do believe drug free powerlifting at the top levvel is cleaner than pretty much any other sport,not just because of the testing procedures but because there is actually also a non tested alternative so it does not make sense to cheat…just switch federation…
lol this has me thinking back to a JK vid where some of the people Ryan looked up on the computer, you guys were trying to figure out if one was really natty or not. Good discussion. And I like this setup.
