Bro, stop making excuses for those junkie pieces of shit.
The drugs were their sole support system. Take that away, and they all crumbled like muppets whose strings were cut in the middle of a kids' performance at a grade school.
If you lift for life, you lift when shit is good and bad. Those guys only lifted when they were on top. Fun's over now, no need to drag their butts to Gold's anymore since the gains and pumps won't be there.
Flex still needs the TRT...balls done shut down, I believe. So, why not still lift? Which he still does.
Cormier---even if looks down in size, would probably easily win a Mr. Getbig contest...held that day.
I agree with the poster---it's in their blood. And not just the lifting.
Maybe it's like this with other passions, but one cannot just walk away from the iron, or working out in some shape or form. It's addictive. And for some the drug usage as well. just look at DA...he kept going no matter what.
