Matt Wenning once said drugs add 30% to your current lifts. Dont know where he gets that number outside of maybe his own experience but that's pretty fucking significant.
I'm sure most people never reach their genetic potentialDrew how do you determine ones genetic potential?

FWII the NFL has been trying to determine an athletes genetic potential for decades now and spending millions of dollars to do so
nothing has been conclusive
IMO its a pretty self defeatist limiting attitude to believe you just a robot that has a genetic potential ceiling in accordance with a calculator
people always talk about genetics without even knowing what they are saying because there are athlete with horrible combine numbers who end up being some of the greats all time in all sports so how do you define those genetics......will, heart, desire, ability to handle failure, mental toughness are all traits that are genetic to
Whoyou have been lied to
Name me one elite running back, receiver/cb, or defensive end with shitty combine numbers. Yeah, a physically subpar quarterback can achieve greatness through skill and smart playcalling. But that's impossible with any position that relies on speed.people always talk about genetics without even knowing what they are saying because there are athlete with horrible combine numbers who end up being some of the greats all time in all sports so how do you define those genetics......will, heart, desire, ability to handle failure, mental toughness are all traits that are genetic to
Am I being trolled?Drew how do you determine ones genetic potential?
Perhaps not destiny but was he lying about the baby being thick solid and tight straight from the womb?Anquon Boldon ran a 4.7 40
Using these charts and at birth inspections(lmao)that determines who or what you can be in life is just stupid
How do you know that that baby has the injury resilience to withstand training it takes to be an nfl player at birth.
I think people use the FFMI chart or genetics as an excuse for their failures.
Aside from that part of sports......the art that y’all fail to recognize is finding out what your strengths are and focusing on them.
Our sports destiny is decided at birth is complete bullshit
Drug tested doesnt mean drug free. Think we all know that.I just don't get the tested vs untested federation argument. How can you say "for sure he/she's drug free, he/she was tested and passed!" when we've seen countless examples to the contrary in many sports with more budget for drug testing?

I suggest everyone interested in the natty vs enhanced debate read this carefully:I just don't get the tested vs untested federation argument.

Mahailya Reeves, a 15 year old girl, benched 335 lbs RAW {IMPRESSIVE]
Is that the world record for teen? And she is not even a powerlifter (wanting to do weightlifting). She's in the 9th grade. How is it possible for a girl?
Wish I had more time to listen to more of the stronger by science podcasts. SBS, RTS, BBM are great resources in the powerlifting community
- Steroids help you get bigger and stronger, faster.
- Both observational evidence (comparing records in powerlifters and weightlifters) and experimental evidence suggest that the advantage you get from steroids is quite large in terms of absolute measures (total muscle and strength gained), but that they only confer a ~10% advantage in terms of how competitive you’ll be in strength sports. As you gain more muscle mass, you’re expected to lift more to be equally competitive in your sport. When taking into account both gains in strength and muscle mass, the performance edge they give you is about 10%.
- Higher doses for longer periods of time don’t seem to provide an increasingly larger advantage. The relative performance improvement in Bashin’s 20-week study was identical to the performance improvement in his 10-week study. Additionally, in his 20-week study, the group using 300mg of Test per week actually improved their Wilks Score more than the group using 600mg of Test per week. Furthermore, in Yu’s study comparing drug-free lifters to lifters who had been using much higher doses for 5+ years, the advantage of steroid use for improving relative performance disappeared entirely, though there were some important drawbacks to that study.
- The advantage steroids give you is likely larger for tests of upper body strength, such as the bench press. Though Bashin’s 1996 study actually found a larger advantage in the squat than the bench press, the world records in powerlifting, Yu’s study, and insights into the muscle groups most affected by steroid use all seem to suggest that the bench is the lift that benefits the most from steroid use.
heh, I just read his articles cuz I dont have the patience to sit through hours of conversation. But we're blessed to have Nuckols and his wealth of knowledge with the scientific rigor to back it up.Wish I had more time to listen to more of the stronger by science podcasts.
