Lord, please strike the fool out of this poor soul!

Looks like Alexxx just had set up shop inside WOOO's head ,,,

jajajjajaj jae jonnn NAH

LOL...what do you mean "IF"?

The drug tests in the NFL are very strict unlike the MLB only few of them juice, they have NATURAL ABILITY. Just because someone is good doesn't mean they juice.

yep thick joint structures too.  A lot of them are also too tall
freaky maybe, but not asthetic

,

Running backs are usually shorter for football players. 5'10 - 6'1 average. If they trained like bodybuilders, they would have the best physiques for football players.

They are strict but if you knew and heard the things that players were saying (usage) at the last combine in March where there were 500 players and at least 30% were NFL and a few with superbowl rings you would have thought the freaking coaches were distributing them. It was obvious to me that it was no secret!

  The testing allows  someone to have a fairly high ratio of testosterone to epitestosterone doesn't it?

But I think when I retire, i will move to Colorado and be a ski instructor....

When you're there, stop in the local Salvation Army and say hi to Shawn Ray.  After losing his shirt at the Colo Pro, he'll be in there shopping for a deal!

I was thinking...
SO bodybuilders, as most of us are, in the amateur level- you all know what goes into it; Instense training, dieting (eating healthy primarily, with high amounts of proteins), and in most cases alot of cardio.

In many cases, bodybuilder ARE athletes..I picked football, but I should throw in BOXING too, and if anyone can find a similar sport thats closely related to bodybuilding- please add-

Instead of killing themselves to be pros, couldnt they easily get to the NFL? Well, not easily, but you know what I mean. The tools are there, dedication to physical training, dedication period. ALot of pro athletese hardly hit the gym it seems..I guess its mostly talent..

DOnt mention the gear because im saying hypthetically, someone who decides there is no future in pro bodybuilding, and decides to put their hard work and passion towards trying to make it in another venue, like boxing, maybe fighting? Or in the NFL..

ANd if this is a dumb ass though, you have permission to say so.lol.. Isnt it true though? Bodybuilders, AND fitness competitors, and female bodybuilders true athletes, that could compete in any sport.

      i have a better chance of hitting the 50 million dollar lottery!


your asking if a pro bb can just mosey on into the nfl when some top bb's couldnt even cut it in pro wrestling?
use your brain man!

I'm honestly not sure, I keep all my athletes I train away from steroids, pro-hormones or anything that will elevate their test levels and set off red flags. I did however have one of my college athletes place 7th in the 40 (4.54) in that same combine beating out quite a few NFL vets and I can vouch he was clean.

 Why not? Are you a Michigan Man?

[Mr. Intenseone]

LOL, I'm in California, I get alot of local athletes as the seasons come around. Unless I'm doing periodization training, training athletes is seasonal.
