There are threads up of regular guys 50+ who work out in parks who are ripped. Regular person ripped, not pro athlete cock diesel

Here is another of the 50+ NYC calisthenics guys



Regular guy doing workouts at the park.

Sharpe is a rich ex super athlete. How is it inconceivable to some of you that he could be in that kind of shape, if a regular guy who just does bar work can be in super shape at the same age?

I include trt as minimal though. I'm always in the gym and some people in there are on all kinds of shyt
I see, and I would agree, but people like Shannon aren't on the typical minimal dosages. You can negotiate with a doctor that will prescribe higher doses, it isn't hard to come by that deal at all, even though it's pretty absurd, imo. It's obviously better than getting caught with actual gear, but just absurd how easy it is to get that out of a doctor, but yeah, there was a time where TRT could be seen as "natty", I still disagree given a man at 50 going for test levels of a 20 year old isn't natty

I will definitely be on TRT at an older age though, it's just too much of a boost to pass up on at that age, plus it's legal, and you get constant 1:1 physician supervision. :yeshrug:

Sharpe is without a doubt on stuff and has taken it in the past, I would stake my life on that. The simple fact that that a 54 year old man has a year round physique that would put him on the stage with IFBB Physique competitors should tell you all you need to know, there isn't a single man touching an IFBB stage that isn't on drugs.


Example of the Physique competitors, (this category was introduced to appeal to beach bodies as opposed to the freak categories:

None of these guys are natty. You just have to understand, that some people take shyt and just lie because they are narcissists and they don't care about the impact their lies have on people. If someone is curious enough to ask me if I'm natural, I tell them point blank "no", and keep it moving. But you have to realize some people inject and refuse to admit they aren't natty anymore, they refuse to admit they cheated to obtain what they did.



I don't want to get super in detail to improve my credibility on the matter, but just trust me, Sharpe is not natty, and in all honesty, most people you question aren't either. I know it seems like some crusade on my part, and it really is, because I'm that same kid driven to drugs because of liars in the industry, I want to prevent that from happening to others, I want to promote a healthy and obtainable male physique. I don't want people busting their ass, and blowing money on supplements wondering why they can't look like the IFBB guys that claim natty, wondering why they can look like the roided kids that make money off of their physique and have to claim natty to sell bunk supplements. But this shyt can't happen if we continue to promote delusion about drug usage, especially in fukking professional athletes.

You gave a long drawn out answer to my two part comment/question .

About the regular guy in Sharpe's age range who doesn't have his genetics or resources, or elite pro athlete background who is also in phenomenal shape. Or do you think he's on something also?

With what Sharpe has going for him, why wouldn't he be able be in phenomenal shape also?

i don't think uncle shay on the juice :manny: hear me out, he's been doing this his whole life. the people im suspicious of juicing are those actors who do action movies and change body sizes quick like mark whalberg, the thor dude, etc. dudes do a movie role where they slim down then the next movie they jacked

I have to ask though, would you stake your life on Sharpe being natty, as in no TRT and no testosterone ever? I just have to know how certain you are about this.

Shannon Sharpe has a phenomenal base from his NFL career but he's definitely on TRT to keep himself up.

He has the means to do so so why not? It's actually recommended for many older men to keep their edge.

Bro, a cycle for 3 weeks is nothing, hell Enanthate kicks in the week or two after, so not sure what you were running but 3 weeks sounds like you aborted it, which is pretty dangerous if you didn't go about that the right way, which i suspect is the case, if you are telling the truth. And no, I definitely know what I'm talking about. :mjlol: Although I don't enjoy public AAS discussion.

The work is largely irrelevant, I doubt you took anything, especially with 3 weeks, if you think work matters. I just mentioned this study:




They gained nearly double the mass sitting on the couch. So the "work" argument is negated, 100%. End of story, you don't know what you are talking about. People like you are just further adding to the delusion of the average person towards sport and bodybuilding. Yes, of course genetics plays a part, I used to be into competitive bodybuilding so of course I acknowledge that. My point is, you are greatly underestimating the impact of anabolics. That study above is always referenced when you fools try to bring up "hard work", they gain more mass the those working at the gym natural*.

So the "hard work" is dispelled, unless you have a study that suggests otherwise, which i doubt. On genetics, I never said genetics didn't play a part, you can't quote me saying that.
this doesnt even begin to talk about what i was talking about.

can i bench 390 sitting on my ass, yes or no? <---- this answer will reveal to you what i was talkin about.

as for the 3 weeks....

which is exactly why i aborted the mission.

So we are done with the "hard work" argument, right? lol The study I provided disproves that entirely, now you have some "can I bench 390 sitting on my ass" argument, I'm not entertaining that as it's clearly a strawman. Who in their right mind would ever suggest that? You are doing the same thing with genetics, I never argued against genetics playing a factor, that sounds silly as hell. Someone having longer arms can impact their bench vs having shorter arms. And obviously you have to put in some work, you fool, my study indicated that those on steroids that also worked out gained significantly more muscle than those on test that just sat at home. But my point was, those people at home on the couch still outperformed the placebo group that was working out by nearly double. So with that, steroids are a cheat code, simple as that. That was my point from the start, I just hate when people downplay the impact of steroids, my study proves that is stupid.


Regarding the study you posted, bro, you are misinterpreting the data there, this part hints towards the intention:

Taking testosterone for short periods only, taking smaller doses, or doing both, would reduce the chances of athletes getting caught by drugs testers. “Athletes have probably already figured this out, and we are just confirming that scientifically,”

So, tell me, is there a linear increase of strength and muscle mass from 3 weeks to 6 weeks on enanthate? The answer is yes, and with that, can someone explain why we would waste gear for a 3 week cycle when we can take it to 6 weeks to realize more gains? If you were competing it's understandable (to an extent) but if just for muscle and strength I'm not seeing the point. It's like going from making $1 a month to $1000 a month and stopping there when the data suggests by next month you will have $1500 a month. For me, on enanthate, no major difference was noted until week 4, but this is a matter of chemistry, regarding the supplier, concentration, etc., there is no guarantee that the vial you hold will produce the same effect within that time frame versus a vial produced either in someones bathtub or a lab, or in this study, for example.

Didn’t read through:

  • I don’t really care. People can do what they want. No judgement basically.
  • He’s a naturally gifted athlete so I don’t think he used gear to achieve much of anything in his career.
  • I’d be stunned if he wasn’t on a clinical dose of TRT for general quality of life purposes at 54. Not so much as a performance enhancer.
