  1. When physical specimens like Brock Lesnar, Batista or HHH, are spoken
    about, it is often assumed that they use steroids. Why is it so?

    Is it not possible to get a Venice Beach type body without supplements?
    Especially for example, if one uses Periodization or other such methods
    in their training.

    Also, why are steroids illegal anyway. Unlike cocaine, for example, it
    is not a drug that impairs rational thinking. I do not understand why
    steroids should be illegal wheras Creatine wouldn't be.

    On a related note - why are steroids often associated with injuries?

    No.

    Well for one, the WWE has had a history of steroid use among their
    wrestlers. Secondly, size and strength are considered two very
    important traits in their business. I'm sure there's a lot of pressure
    put on them just like NFL and MLB players.

    If you have the right genetics, the right training, the right feeding
    and adequate rest, I don't see why you couldn't have a good build but a
    good build is really subjective in my mind. Can you look like Ronnie
    Coleman without supplements even if you have the right genetics? I
    doubt it.

    Well, like cocaine, steroids have been shown to have negative effects on
    one's health in the long term so government agencies make it illegal in
    order to "protect" their citizens.

    Because they all are heavy juicers.

    Technically, if you have *SUPERB* genetics, you can theoretically get a
    Venice Beach type body naturally. If you look at the guys who win the
    national natural bodybuilding competitions, they are absolutely cut and
    they do it without the use of steroids. They guys (1) have
    unbelievable genetics and (2) devote their LIVES to working out.

    For the other 99.999% of us who don't have such genetics and don't have
    time to workout 5-6 hours a day, you will never get "Venice Beach"
    ripped without the aid of steroids.

    Don't ask me to defend this nation's drug policy. However, there are
    costs to taking steroids. I've known people that have been into them,
    and it does affect their personalities. Steroids are addicting in that
    its hard to go natural after having used them. When you get 3x the
    gain for working 1/2 as much, it's hard to go back to busting your ass
    for small gains. I've never taking them because I simply don't want
    that physique, I have no moral or ethical judgment on those who do.
    It's their choice.

    Because the muscles grow quicker than the tendons and ligaments that
    support them.

    John Cena used to win all-natural bodybuilding competitions. His type of
    body is about as good as you can hope for without being a genuine
    genetic freak and without taking anything.

    Steroids are a prescription drug that can be used in small amounts to
    help recovery from muscle damage, or even with acne problems. They are
    not designed to be consumed in vast quantities to pack on massive
    amounts of extra muscle, and when you do that you do just as much damage
    to your body as any other illegal drug.

    Quoted message said:

    The freakish amounts of muscle a guy like HHH builds through using
    steroids, HGH etc is too much, basically. The muscle fiber is there, but
    it's not particularly "good" muscle, and so it's prone to tearing much
    more than healthy muscle is. This is how both Hunter and Vince managed
    to tear their quads just by walking.

    Let's be fair here. Vince tore his standing up. HHH and Nash tore
    their walking. And Batista tore his bicep doing a clothesline then again
    jogging with his wife.

    He was lean with some decent muscle for the time, but far far from

    Not if one is a wrestler on the road 300+ days a year. These guys are
    HYOOGE, and the pro bodybuilders who get that big pretty much just train,
    eat, and sleep. Wrestlers can't exactly do that.

    There is a real explaination for this, but you're pulling this out of

    No, his physique tended more to the "barrel-chested" variety -- a lot

    You end up with some people with very fragile personalities turning to
    steroids to try and improve their self esteem. These people had anger
    problems before the steroids. These folks are also of the 'I'm not
    responsible, it was <insert excuse here>' type mindset, and the steroids
    are an easy excuse. I've not experienced 'roid rage', and I suspect it's
    very similar to 'reefer madness' (the people who are coming out and
    saying that marijuana use increases the risk of developing schizophrenia
    are DELIBERATELY confusing correlation with causation to manipulate
    people for political ends, and it really really [censored] me when people who
