Life is so out of whack… and just weird.
All these guys have to do is take a trip to Mexico or Europe and they can buy 95% of these drugs over the counter.
The problem is that they don’t know what to do, what to take, when to take it. They don’t know how to balance their Test/Epi-test ratios, mask their usage, etc.
They’re just so ignorant about subjects (training, nutrition) in which they should be masters. So they end up risking everything to listen to these guys who will sell them out in a heartbeat. Sooner or later, all these dealers get caught... and then they rat.
What pisses me off is that these guys are blessed with these genes, these tools, but they don’t take the time or put in the effort to learn anything that could make them better. They are so used to coastin’.
Forget about drugs for a minute. Just look at nutrition and natural training.
They don’t know dick about vitamins/minerals or eating right. They really don’t know how to train with weights either. They all want a big chest, biceps and forearms to both to hit the ball harder/further… and to show off their “Hollywood muscles” to broads.
They hire personal trainers who don’t know dick. Most of them just become their drug source. It’s a joke. And so they end up with severe muscular imbalances because they don’t know what the hell they’re doing.
Their traps are weak; their shoulders (especially rotator cuff) are weak. Their backs are a mess because of the old “out of sight, out of mind mentality.” Don’t even bring up their wheels which they know can be hidden under their long pants (uniforms).
This makes them susceptible to the types of injuries we often see in the sport. Things like shoulder problems, elbow problems, low back strain. The kind of things that constantly put them on 15 and 30 day disabled lists.
Now, I’m not saying these types of injuries can’t happen in the sport. I played all the way through college. I had my share. But a lot of them are stresses and strains due to muscular imbalances resulting from poor training technique due to lack of knowledge.
One would think that as professional athletes, such people would be well versed in such subjects, but they know little more than the Average Joe on the street. In fact, I’d be willing to bet that more often than not, they know less.
Sad but true.
