Robby, are you saying that 50% of people that go to the gym are on steroids? If so, that number is astronomically high!

Once again, I'm not patronizing people who engage in them, Ive even thought about it a time or 2...but if I were to, I wouldn't feel adequate pulling someone who is not...Apparently someone griped enough one day to introduce weight classes...same concept ..just saying the users should be categorized.

I understand what your getting at but the sport already has trouble having enough people to fill the classes we currently have, there simply are not enough pullers to justify any more classes there are Pro and Amatuer classes at many events so I guess it could be said that what you are talking about already exist only there are no tests to keep the users out of the amatuer class, and even if there were I would not pull a amatuer class simply to stay away from the guys who are using,I like the challenge it motivates me to train harder but thats just my take |

50% was just threw out there, but in all honesty have u not noticed how everywhere u look are people with body acne from their face to their backs and so on, i mean hell dont take alot to figure out when somebody starts benching heavy weight that pus starts coming out of them from their back acne its very nasty when their get that much test in them that they start getting them big ass pimples all over them maybe its just bigger here in tx but i know a gym that after they get to know u they start pushing it to u trying to get u to buy it from them everywhere u look its around u here, in the locker room all over the place is signs talking about dont take steroids, but maybe im just crazy and everybody is clean |

I disagree with 50% of people at the gym are on something. However ive only been to a gym three times, but the times I have went I saw nothing but fat out of shape people that obviously never touched a weight in thier life. There might have been a handful of people I saw in decent shape out of a 1000 people, so I would say 50% of the handful might take something but thats it.. On that note i will say it DOES matter which gym you go to what you will find. On one side of a town close by you have a locally owned and run gym that i would say nobodys juicing by the looks of them. On the other side of the same town you have a franchise chain gym that i can see 5-8 in there that juice on any day of the week. Not that it matters, but my guess would be more like 20% instead of 50%. |

Steriods makes a huge difference. I personally know someone from high school that was stuck at a 325 lb max bench for years. He went on the "juice" and in 4 months had his bench up to 440. Remaining in a "pre-juice" weight class would be difficult however...which could level the field a bit.
