If there was a pill that would have increased my height from 6'2" to 6'10" at the age of 18, I would have taken that shyt. If you scaled me up to that height with the skillset and athleticism I had at 18.......I'd have been a top pick :to:
You know if you were taller that you wouldn't have the same skillset that you developed because you were instead blessed with your actual height you are.

Pardon my ignorange but what's the significance of that?

A low resting heart rate and low blood pressure are usually indicative of good cardiovascular health. The heart can actually enlarge from cardiovascular activity because the more cardio you do, the more effective it gets at pumping so in essence it becomes a more efficient pump.

Some people are naturally prone to low resting heart rates but I have low blood pressure and a low resting heart rate from a lot of cardio. I do a lot of fairly strenuous long distance running and usually lift with a decent amount of intensity when I'm at the gym.

Here's one link you can read. Ask any medical doctor.
I said pardon my ignorance. Just curious. I'm active and years ago when I was doing cross country and hooping almost everyday I had low blood pressure and my doctor was actually worried. I wasn't in the gym working out or any thing...

My bad breh, didn't mean to come n/h off as an a$$hole. But yeah, it's perfectly normal man if you're an athlete. Some people do have naturally low blood pressure, but most of the time it's low because they're athletic.

Which is why I said if there was a pill that could shoot me up from my height to 6'10" I'd take it, you'd be telling Morey to get me in a trade, and I'd be saying I don't play with bytch nikkas like Howard :wow:

:mjlol: No offense brother, but the sanctimonious belief you're touting is the same held by most casual sports fans and it exposes their naivete. Most college athletes take shyt, even high school athletes take shyt. The athletes saying that are full of shyt and probably take PEDs themselves. It's all a huge fukking game and the coaches, the medical personnel, the front office, and the league office(s) are in on it, too.


There is nothing wrong with taking drugs to enhance recovery. Everyone does it, the only ones that get caught are too dumb to pass the tests. The leagues put up this phony image like they care when in reality they know their entire fortune would be obliterated if these drugs were truly prohibited. Don't believe the hype; they're pretending to crack down on this shyt.

You notice how tons of guys are getting busted for ADD meds or stims? That's a horseshyt lie put out by the league's PR. They probably got caught with heavier shyt like testosterone or HGH, but Adderall doesn't sound as scary. Remember when Roger Mathis got caught using Clomid (an AI that guys use when they get off a cycle)? He got a little slap on the wrist and nothing happened. It's all nonsense.

This is just the reality of sports. The romanticized Sports Illustrated illusion I once believed was shattered the older I got and the more I got involved in fitness. Weightlifting and football go hand-in-hand and it's no surprise most of these guys take similar shyt.

In my opinion, there is absolutely nothing wrong morally with taking PEDs. Nothing. The legal supplement industry makes billions selling bunk, do-nothing nonsense for the same intention--you know, to enhance sports and fitness performance--but because it's "natural" (aka, it doesn't do jack shyt) somehow it makes it okay, but god forbid people take drugs that can actually improve their lives.

Are there inherent risks? Absolutely. But the drugs are a lot safer when carefully managed/monitored than most people think.

real talk right here
