Ehhh most likely yes, but its actually possible he didn't juice considering he was well over 300 lbs. at the time. A good friend of mine and former training partner who is SHW benches right at 600 lbs. drug free (repeated tests, and I believe him, we've traveled together). Our other partner who is lifting at the arnold just moved up to the 220's last year and benches 450+ raw, also I can verify he did it drug free. Now what they do from this point on I can't say we no longer belong to the same gym.
At any rate I do love his attitude!
Although, after watching a few of the other videos that popped up with him after that one, he does say alot that he's natural... the last guy that did that that much was named.. uhm.. oh yeah Lance Armstrong! I do hope that he is natural but I dunno about now man, thats a wild level to be at when your in your 50's. Good luck to him either way
Either way he's moving some iron!!
I think he looks better now then he did back then. I wonder how athletic he is currently?
190 is human skeleton
For someone who was a jacked 260 and a huge 300+ man it is. LolQuote:

I thought that part was kinda funny
Big dude pushing and squatting 700 but wants to nail a heavy curl
Anyway as sorrow stated, great attitude and hopefully he nails it
Thought that was just my imagination! Thank goodness someone else saw it!Quote:

He is absolutely jacked now. Still love the part at the end.. its your set! Love it!
I knew those competitions used to exist... didn't realize any of those feds were still in existence. It's been years since I've heard of a curl contest.Quote:

secondly, why is it when we see a guy,obviously 'on', others who also use buy are vastly inferior in shape or strength, are quick to criticize, 'oh hes not drug free, oh thats bs, he must be on alot (cause i use and cant do that), ect ect
if hes moving 700lbs, odds are the dude is a fkn beast and can out lift most while hes clean and they are laced with halo
lanced was on, but its not why he won all those races, if it were that simple, how come no one could beat him, or out hit barry bonds.......all cheaters, but i see the grey in it as well
It's the pounding of the drug-free gavel that gets on my nerves, but, still, his max raw bench is insane. I don't give a damn if he's on 5g of test, deca, EQ, etc., that is still a hell of an accomplishment.Quote:

yeah on your first point, watched another vid, i see.............usually the people who defend their cleaness the most arent......i know when i was a bit younger and guys asked me, i was clean btw, my answer was different, more 'no i dont use, but i want, dont got no money, dont know where, but yeah im super curious'Quote:

It keeps me motivated because I know if they can do it I should be able to at least get close!
On the flip side of the coin there's a few who constantly say no Im not on and I was drug tested at the meet, yet somehow go up 20lbs of lean mass in around 4 months and had his bench go up too 900# equipped single ply, his best a few months before that was 650# in double ply gear. Also had acne on his back, hair loss.. but yeah Consistently denies ever even trying anything. Its like the classic line "I think thou does protest too much!"
Brings back memories from Doyle Kenadys gym... Doyle (RIP) sold to people, his team was obviously on, but one of the guys on the team... he vehemently denied it. 20 years later we caught up with each other... he told me the truth and that he narrowly missed getting nabbed by the feds on two occasions... for selling. Apparently he had worked his way up the ladder and was prominent on the local front with gear sales. Worked his way up the PLing ladder, too. He benched 640 at a meet with a single ply shirt from the late 80s.
