Steroids and high school athletes

**illwillogical** · 12-16-2008, 12:15 PM

Anyone have high school juniors kick their ass in the gym? It's crazy I don't know how long these kid's have been juicing, but there are 5 kids in my gym, 3 juniors, and 2 seniors, that bench over 400lbs, and I'm not talking lineman sized kids, they range from 210-250 and they are cut. I'm not so sure about steroids fusing the growth plates, just from what I have seen in HS athletes, a lot of these guys start young, and still end up tall. But I do agree that it's not a good idea for them to take them. But in reality, it happens a lot in the real competive schools, and in the country, where a lot of the kids all they have is sports.

They're at the age where testosterone is flowing like none other through their systems. Maybe they actually know how to properly train and eat? I know they shouldn't be messing with steroids though.

no, most kids graduate high school at 18, so the junior is 16-18 and the senior is 17-19, depending on if they've been held back or not

even though they have a lot of nat test in their bodies there is no way that many kids can lift that much without being on gear. If it was maybe one guy who really stands out then maybe we could blame it on awesome genetics but 5?, i smell juice...

just give them compounds that don't aromatize. Then you don't have to worry about their growth plates closing

Yeah you are right on. If it were one kid, I would give them the benefit of the doubt. I played ball and lifted hard all 4 years of HS, I was one of the strongest in the school, and all natural. Where I'm from is a very agricultural community, these kids don't want to be farmers no more, they want a scholarship, and they do what it takes to get it. I'm just saying a lot of people start cycles young, and I think most pro BB's did.

Ok, again yeah lots of strong HS kids, I benched 335 at 170 natural at a meet in HS. But a 16 year old that weighs 210 throwing up 425 is very rare in any respect, and to do it natural is even more unbelievable. Thats no shirt thats raw weight for a 16 year old. I doubt there is many members here can do 400 plus, a lot claim they do lol, I even saw one guy claiming 375 for 20 lmao.
