I’m sorry for this guy.  It’s heartbreaking to keep trying at something, and keep getting hurt.  As far as the PED comment, I never read anything about him getting suspended for PED’s so if just a guess, ok.  PED’s can encourage injuries, but I don’t want to accuse someone of something if they didn’t do it.  I’ve seen a lot of injuries over the years of guys on PED’s blowing out shoulders, knees, etc.

 

It happens because the muscles become bigger and stronger quickly but the tendons and ligaments supporting them do not. So you have a much greater force now being able to be applied without the body being ready to handle that and injuries are the result.

Really hate it for Derwin.  Such a good player.  Removes another obstacle from KC’s path to repeat.

The Chargers were never going to be an obstacle like that anyway.

I dunno. I hear Tyrod is having a great camp.

 

Tyrod is Tyrod. If they have a great year it won't be because of him. He is a conservative game manager.

 Matter, I know as I was a national level power lifter, held the deadlift national record, and yes Although I went in untested meets, I was at the top in tested meets.  I saw guy after guy in the untested group blow out all kinds of joints, ligaments, tendons, meniscus over and over again.  I’ve seen one guy have a compound fracture in his tibia and fibula while trying to squat 920lbs, and then god the three spotters were able to catch the bar as he would have died if not.  People were vomiting everywhere it was so disgusting.  I’ve also seen another guy completely rip both of his biceps from his and fly up to his shoulder because he was dumb enough on a deadlift, to think he should somewhat shrug the deadlift.

 

Both guys were juicing on steroids, and HGH.  I felt bad for them as they both had from what friends of friends DS told me life changing injuries.  It is terrible and if Derwin, did this, which is a big if as I don’t know, then he learned a terrible lesson.  The problem if this was tru is they are so desperate to get back or get an edge, they don’t realize the serious damage they can do to themselves.

 

Thankfully my parents raised me to not cheat as I always in football, wrestling and power lifting never took a thing other than creatine, amd later learned that was bad on renal functioning.  God looked over me as I’m healthy.

Damn that's impressive! I thought about competing because I worked up to deadlifitng and squatting some serious weight that put me in the elite category based on the charts I saw for my weight but I ended up hurting myself on all my PRs so I dialed it down...got my Big 3 up to 1420 lbs at 185 lbs which is pretty decent for a non competitive lifter at 41 years old but I couldn't do anything close to that now. Highest DL I had was 565 and I used to do 5 sets of 12 with a minute rest in between with 355 lbs...talk about seeing the white light...hahaha

Matter, that’s awesome.  I didn’t give my totals as I wasn’t making it about me, just I can relate to you’re comments if the guy really did take the stuff.  Send me a pm and happy to chat about it, but very good on you’re part.  People who haven’t pulled or pushed that kind of weight don’t know how hard and how much skill is involved as they typically think it’s just about being a muscle head.  Couldn’t be farther from the truth on the team I was on back in the day.  They were relentless on technique and it paid off.  
 

Have a great Day bud.
