Bangarang Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 (edited) I don’t think people understand just how many calories these guys have to consume to maintain their weight given how hard they train. Eating is practically a full time job itself. Edited July 2, 2019 by Bangarang

Except for their testicles. Those shrink even more. That is why when a DR prescribes steroid creams and the such I cringe

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 4 months .... I can see losing weight (fat) in 4 months but not all the muscle mass to do that I'd think you'd have to be bed ridden.

Another Fan Posted July 3, 2019 Posted July 3, 2019 Huh donating thousands too children’s charity, losing like 30 lbs. Wonder if he was even happy playing for the Cheaters
colin Posted July 3, 2019 Posted July 3, 2019 so what's interesting to me about nfl players and their physiques is how these dudes change post retirement. gronk and that C from San Diego a few years back (hardwick?) went from Atlas to scrawny beach dork. clearly they were not just using PEDs, but had been using them for more or less the duration of their entire football career (that LB for the texans who went to Bergen Catholic and then USC was the greatest example, gain and lost an Arnold physique between high school and college and then got ultra yoked up again. total hero!). Wood went from a chubbed up big man to a strong and healthy looking big man. i'm certain he used PEDs (I think less than 10% actually don't) but clearly he had developed some mass prior to going on like donkey kong. Joe thomas looks terrific now. he looks like he's at least using a therapeutic dose of test, but he also looks like he built up quite a lot of muscle prior to being a pro athlete. the size of gronk's arms (i mean the length and thickness of the bones) and his hands is still nuts to me. at the highest level these athletes are purpose built for their sport.

Gronk looks like a guy who has never lifted, and he was a top flight pro football player one friggen year ago. all of his mass was built with the assistance of PEDs (and i have no problem with that, what kind of pro football player wouldn't use steroids?). Hines ward cut down and did triathalons, and a few years after retiring you could still tell he had some solid muscle mass. gronk's transformation is nuts!
