The Difference Between Athletes Who Take Steroids And Athletes Who Don't
~1.1 mins read
Take a look at this natural bodybuilder on the left and compare him to perhaps the # 1 steroid monster in bodybuilding history on the right and decide ………? From what I can see, there is only one winner. While the bodybuilder on the left still has a pretty respectable physique, Ronnie Coleman will undoubtedly knock him off the stage in a bodybuilding contest.
In almost any physical sport, the steroid fanatic wins easily, 7 days a week, 365 days a year ... as long as he is reasonably athletic in his natural form. In other words, you can't just get a "couch potato" out of shape and feed him high doses of DEP and turn him into a Superman in two weeks, it doesn't work like that. The steroid monster has to have decent genetics and some talent in the first place for the juice to be really beneficial (and to train hard, very hard).
But I actually saw the benefits of this "juice" first hand. This steroid fanatic that I actually trained with weights in the past (who was a good weightlifter to begin with) became a gym freak over a period of about 2 years. This steroid fan's favorite exercise was the flat bench press and he started with a very respectable standard - he was putting 2 plates on each side, which equates to 100kg in total. Shortly after he started sticking hypodermic needles into himself ... you guessed it, his performance improved in no time. I can honestly say from first hand observation experience (I was his observer) that he went from climbing 100kg to 180kg in about 18 months !!

How Was Mike Tyson Treated In Prison? Do You Think Anyone Dared To Challenge Him When He Served His Sentence?
~3.3 mins read
Mike in his book Undisputed Truth talked about life in prison. Mike said for the most part other prisoners left him strictly alone.
Mike also had grown up in the hard streets of New York, and knew how to show respect, and prison is all about respect.
Mike wasn’t quite as happy with the staff, but in general, went along and got along
CREDIT PICTURE THE DAILY MAIL
According to staff, visitors, other inmates, and Mike himself, Mike generally got along okay in prison. He stayed to himself, and as he himself says, it is all about respect, showing it and receiving it.
Of course, okay is relative in a prison.
And there is always someone who has to try the King…
Speaking on his podcast a couple of years ago, Mike revealed for the first time that he did in have have one fight in prison, saying:
“Just one time (I had to put punch someone in prison). Somebody said something and I just went over there and hit him. No, we were locked down for a a long time and it was just something that was irritable and I went over there and hit him. We were locked down. We couldn’t go to the gym. Somebody got stabbed or something and we were locked down. I was just upset and miserable.â€
One has to ask why any sane individual would want to say something irritable to Iron Mike Tyson after his history of low fool tolerance is beyond me.
Mike Tyson was having so much sex with female prison visitors and a prison drug counsellor during his three year prison stint in the '90s, that he was too tired to even go to the gym and work out, as much as he should have the retired boxer said. And far from being leery of prison, Mike wrote in the Undisputed Truth:
“Sometimes I just fantasize about blowing somebody's brains out so I can go to prison for the rest of my life,â€
Of course, Mike did not altogether enjoy the prison experience
Mike Tyson had all in all, a fairly routine stay at the Indiana Youth Center. He mostly stayed to himself, reading up on the teachings of Islam and working out to stay in shape for a return to the ring upon his release.
But he had minor run ins with prison staff, including Mike threatening a prison staffer, which cost him three days in the hole. His attorney, Alan Dershowitz came to the prison that week, and Tyson refused, at first, to come to the visitors' room because he was embarrassed to have to come in chains and manacles. Finally, after an hour, Tyson showed up, saddened and upset.
Dershowitz said:
“He looked like a character from Roots being brought over on a slave boat, it was the most appalling sight I'd ever seen. The chains were across his chest, around his body. Remember, we're in a (high- medium) security institution. The unit where we meet is utterly escape- proof.
Tyson told his lawyer:
“Why me? Imagine me being chained like this.' "
When asked, the Prison Superintendent said the chains were necessary because :
“Segregated offenders must be secured during visits to protect visitors, staff and other offenders."
Mike repeatedly complained that guards subjected him to rough and embarrassing body searches, and he quit high-school equivalency classes because he felt he was being ridiculed. Mike also refused to eat much of the prison food, fearing it might be contaminated. Jay Bright, a former assistant trainer who visited him said:
“So Mike only eats things that are packaged, like tuna or crackers."
According to Tyson’s former close friend Rory Holloway, he said while incarcerated:
“I don't trust anybody in here,"
But in the end, his difficulties were minor, according to Clarence Trigg, the prison superintendent, who said:
“Tyson has gotten along all right. In general, he's fairly low-key if people leave him alone."
Believe it or not, for a celebrity in prison, Tyson probably did do okay…
