What a result out in Botswana. A new World Strongest Man as of today.   1st Eddie Hall (England)   2nd Thor Bjornsson (Iceland)   3rd Brian Shaw (USA)   He said he`d do it and he did.  

Amen! Not all PED's are illegal. It's down to what works!   If you think that PED's aren't rife in professional sports you're seriously out of the loop! What the British public doesn't know is wh

Bill Werbenick used to take 18 pints and 2 whiskeys to steady his nerves, much more of a feat of endurance in itself than popping a pill or two.

Yes mate, he boxes out of oakleaf abc, trains k1 at rathmor warriors, an plays football for newell academy mate, six days a week he trains lol more than me mate.

 

That'll keep him out of trouble!

 

Does he not get confused with the stances?

I've always found I can't train for both at the same time,I end up square on and wide open in boxing and side on and open to leg kicks and getting ragged about in the clinch in Thai.

Aye mate he did at the start, but hes learning to switch stances, it is confusing at times, but he seems to be adapting quite well to both stances, he should learn both at this age an progres with it an see were it takes him.

I used to train with a girl who ended up very good,I think she was picked for the Olympics after only about a year after switching from Thai to boxing.

 

Her boxing coach got her to fight out of a southpaw stance when she switched because she couldn't stop going square on and her movement wasn't very sharp.

I was thinking that'd be the way I'd do it if I trained both,different lead foot for both sports.

Back to the strongman, them dudes must be eating some amount of grub everyday, does anyone kbow the calorie intake of these beasts.

Around 10000 a day inthink I read it in the paper when he done the deadlift record. Btw I have to come clean lol i know the difference between protein and steroids lol was just trying to get a chuckle to myself at work I don't even lift weights. Thought I needed to come clean since you were offering decent advice lol. I ve just started back training thai boxing afer a year off. I train with my mate sometimes whos fought as an amateur boxer before and it's proper weird how much the styles are different. Well done to your boy managing both.

Haha i knew your werent that stupid mate?

 

Thats some calories a day, what that like a half a cow lol.

 

Fairplay mate for getting back at it, an yeah style difference is interesting to say the least, many times a week do you train?

2 or 3 times a week at the gym. Then just a bit of cycling etc. I'm along way off even considering fighting. Well over a year so I'm not doing too much and not watching what I'm eating which probably isn't the best bit I'm just tryimg to ease back into it

Thats the best way lad easing into it, its hard going when your not as determined as ye you used to be when younger, what kinda bike do you have, do you do many miles?

when you get tested in the military you have to fill in a form declaring what meds your on which can be checked with your medical centre so any positive result that's contributed to by legitimate meds is ignored ... if your on any drugs in the military it's a role of the dice before your caught ........

 

I understand that. Would it be also possible that a medical professional could prescribe a normally banned substance, thus legitimising it in the eyes of the CDT program? :hmm:

 

Like you say if it's a legitimate med, under medical supervision, it's ignored. That's exactly how the Williams sisters are getting around the IOC testing.

 

Read my post again chris, at the end of the day when you look in the mirror your only cheating yourself, no matter what governing body says.

 

Plus imo money aint that important for me just to take pedds to be a sucess mate.

 

Plus the military is not a f***ing game mate, its life or death.

 

Im no angel so im not looking down on anyone i just think it shouldnt be encouraged, cause children will fall foul of this.

I did, mate and frankly I'm baffled. You stated earlier that you don't know much about PED's but then stated that there is no excuses for it as it's cheating. Then you appear to give the military an exemption.

 

I just think it's a tad hypocritical of us to sit here and criticize the use of banned substances when we're completely okay with their legalisation on another thread.

 

On a side note if you're as passionately against this as it appears you might want to have a serious chat about it with your youngster. If he progresses to a higher level he will be exposed to this. Nothing wrong with education. :thumbs:

Well im not a scientist chris, but i know enough about them to know they enhance your performance, an as i said if an adult wants to take them iv no problem with that.

 

If your referring to cannabis then yes for recreational, but not to enhance performance.

 

Id exempt the military cause its not a competition to see whos best lol

 

Well hes only seven now chris lol so il say nothing at the minute, but hel be fed the best grub an good training hel not need them.
