Is it Healthy for a 22 year old to be this Big?
« on: February 04, 2006, 11:17:02 PM »
What's your thoughts on this? are young bbers lets say 19-24years old pushing themselves to hard now, by using high amounts of steroids & GH?

these guys look good but there have been many many tennagers a lot bigger.. Brian Buchanan, Bertil Fox, Arnold, Ferrigno etc etc
At that age you really don't need much juice. I grew like crazy as a teenager with very very little.

hate to burst your bubble.. but that guy is bigger at 22 then you are now (in that pic). its funny to see older guys get jealous when younger guys with genetics get big

There is no way in hell that you could get as big as that 22yr old kid without the heavy use of steroids. The human body is not made to get that big, especially not at its peak. And 22 is not your body's peak. It might be that kid's cause he's prob been on "gear" since he was 18. And yeah there have been younger people bigger, but steroids have been around for a long time. knuckle heads

To get that big yes but with that conditioning you are taking a shitload and thats the reason you dont see them photographed in magazines because they burn out literally Phisically(shit i know because i mega dose 3 to 6 months a year)and my doctor has been given many grey hairs on my drug regiem and that does not include diuretics,so if you support huge teenage bodybuilders fuck wish them a good after life.

I never said I was bigger and I never said it was "easy". I said Buchanan, Fox, Arnold and Lou were bigger and they were. That's all.
And if you knew anything about bodybuilding you would concurr.
The guy who posted asked if we thought that it is unhealthy to be that big at that age and I'm telling him it's not.

i dont know who this kid is, but if u are comparing him to arnold, fox and lou..... that must mean this kids got some good genes, right?

I talked a bit to this guy at a show here in Sweden. He was really nice and said that he hadnt trained his legs for the past year  :o to get his upperbody up to par. He looks amazing especially for his age but hes really short so i think just like Lee he looks really good standing by him self but next to a taller guy its another story.

You cocksuckers make me laugh by trying to pick an argument with a knowledgeable guy like Alex and putting words in his mouth just for the sake of it.  What he says is absolutely correct, guys will grow quickly and easily at those ages with relatively small amounts of gear - especially guys like those in the pics who clearly have pretty good genes too.

I doubt many of these young bucks will be doing any appreciable damage to themselves.

I have to agree with Mobil, Show me competion photos or even photos in general of teenage bodybuilders or young 20s with the size of Arnold or other bodybuilders mentioned by Ardenti who have awesome conditioning.
Shit i have the size of some pros but not the genetics to become a Pro so show me one young bodybuilder with the size of Troy Alves who is only 226 pounds at 5,10 that conditioned and i will declare myself an idiot.

Interesting that you delete your previous post Mobil.  Most guys will grow better naturally at a young age - fairly obvious I think.   Therefore with a little gear it stands to reason that excellent gains can be made.   Those gains will be all the more when you throw in some good genes like those guys photographed.  Either way, gains will be relatively good for most at that age and in those circumstances, compared to what can be achieved with a similar protocol later in life.
Iv'e seen plently of guys in their early 20s who have gotten pretty big with a pretty lax approach to training and diet and using whatever gear the local dealer tells them to take.   It is certainly a lot easier at a younger age.  I would love to see more guys going pro young, guys like Gaspari, Arnold, Haney, Shane Dimora, Casey Viator, Shawn Ray et al.  Now we have a bunch of old codgers with battered physiques
requiring 3 grams a week and 30iu a day just to remain competitive.
It is a shame we don't seem to have these young guys coming through at the highest level now.  Partly I think because bodybuilding is less popular than it was 20 years ago.

That Guy is Like 5'0 tall!! Not much bone structure to fill up. I know few younger guys who are short who compete, young guys with taking so much juice igf, growth etc.... And dont win shit compare to taller guys with muscle maturity. But he does look impressive. I think every individual needs to be realistic and let nature play its role on how ure muscles mature with time.

Flex Lewis is great bodybuilder will hear a lot of him in the future. And yes it has also to do with his genetics and his height...he aint tall.
