To me, the point is longevity. He gets to burn brightly for a while then... burn out. What's he going to be like at 40? Will he think it was worth it? I hope so.yes we all know he takes steroids so whats the point of bringing it up, u have no idea what he takes, how much he takes blah blah blah so theres no point in posting anything about drugs.
more like 1/2 as hard. No hate to Aiden, just emphasising Alexey's effort in all areas.I can prob say with a fair amount of confidence that you (Aiden) do not train as hard, diet as hard or live the life he does to get to the level that hes at.

Guy I knew in the Army juiced, obviously didn't look like this guy but was a big guy, really solid and impressive. We didn't like each-other (he didn't like anyone) so didn't keep in touch, about 12 years later I bumped into him outside Melbourne Central one day - he was morbidly obese, had a whole swag of health problems. He was still an arsehole, but a much humbler arsehole.
Now, a lot of that would have to do the ordinary Old Footballer's Syndrome - they ate a heap to play football, then when they quit they kept eating the same, so they turned fat. But some of his issues were to do with years of juicing.
Any sport you risk injury for high performance, that's fair enough. But you should realise the risks and weigh them up, is it worth the knee reconstructions to shine at netball, is it worth the shoulder surgery to shine at Olympic lifting, whatever. So long as your choice is an informed choice, I have no issues with it.
I would suggest that a 14-16 year old cannot really make informed choices about performance enhancing drugs. And once you're into that stuff, it's hard to turn back.
How does the 35 year old netballer feel about her fucked knees, was it worth it? The 45 year old Olympic lifter? How will a 40 year old Alexey feel about his liver dysfunction and obesity, the thousands he has to spend on endocrinologists? Will he think it was worth it? I hope so.
I agree.I can tell you right now there are millions of ppl in Aus right now smoking and drinking that will have alot more long term health risks than a dude eating healthy, training and taking some steroids.
This is where we find it's most useful to actually read a person's post before responding to it. I said, with bits bolded for clarity,PowerSports said:Yes there are health risks...but there are health risks with everything...
It's okay to take risks, that's life. But you should be making an informed choice, so you can properly weigh risks vs benefits. And teenagers can't be fully-informed, they're still children in many ways. If you're too young to have sex with adults and drink alcohol, you're certainly too young to take performance-enhancing drugs.Kyle Aaron said:Any sport you risk injury for high performance, that's fair enough.

He has a amazing body, with a case a of gyno. which has had removed twice before.
i just stated my opinoin okayyyy. Im pretty new here and didnt really know these sorts of pages were bombarded with drug talk, so sorry to wreck ur thread.
Best of luck to that guy at the classic and if he can keep it up im sure hel b a pro, i dont think he'l do very well but yeh.
cheers
Why can't we all just marvel at the size of this bloke, rather than justifying why we don't look like him ourselves
I read it on another forum, i think md said it. pretty sure.
i duno where the link is.
i thought it was pretty much common knowledge that he had gyno? it was pretty clear in some of his younger pics. i don't know if he did anything to get rid of it per se, but it does seem to have reduced significantly
We don't know, precisely. But it's obvious that it's been more than a year, and earlier photographs of him suggest that he started sometime in his mid-teens.How do you know when he started using? :S
I marvel at the marvellous. This is freaky, not marvellous. It's like "marvelling" at the woman who had plastic surgery and ended up looking like a cat.benno said:Why can't we all just marvel at the size of this bloke, rather than justifying why we don't look like him ourselves
Same as any top athlete, endorsements are much more than prize money. I mean, how much must the typical Aussie swimmer have spent on coaching, it's not just for the gold medal at the Olympics every four years.vegas said:does anyone really think hes using $30,000 of hgh alone when the prize money on offer is no where near that? please....does anyone really think hes using $30,000 of hgh alone when the prize money on offer is no where near that? please....

So he's made lifetime decisions in his mid-teens. Which is why I say: I hope he won't regret them.

Bodybuilding used to be about good health for a lifetime. This ain't that.

Plus people like the prestige of winning competitions. Just think of how much people spend on extra food, supplements and training before they enter (for example) a PA lifting competition, thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours a year for what, a trophy?
Heaps of people look at his pictures and talk about him. Many people enjoy that attention.
