James Harrison goes off...

James Harrison 12 hrs · Instagram ·Thank you @sheeha5n. I take that as a compliment. So ppl please stop arguing with him. When I see comments like that, it just validates that all the work I'm putting in is worth it. It also lets me know how feeble-minded, weak-willed and shortsighted individuals like him think....that he could never imagine in his wildest dreams putting in the time, work and dedication it takes to get to this level without the use of performance enhancing drugs. Thanks again @sheeha5n! #BigBalls #NoDeflatedBalls

 

You've always had to have a thick skin being a celebrity and in the public eye. And now with social media and the Keyboard Cowboys out there, it's got to be 10X worse. Maybe 100. Kudos to those who can keep a stiff upper lip and walk away. And those who can't, well... I do understand when they snap. A kudos to James for snapping in a controlled and dignified manner. Handled it much better than Pouncey did a few years ago.

 

I hope he makes the pats fans cry on opening day.

 

I think that joke works on two levels. LOL. I know that roids really do do that though. A guy I work with took them and said they shrunk him so bad that when he decided to stop taking them he had to take some sort of medicine to like re-inflate them or something. LOL. They also give a lot of people bacne as well. There's another guy I work with that can be seen daily popping pimples in the bathroom mirror as a result of roids. It's really gross. I don't know why anyone would want to go through all that just to look strong.

 

this is the most disgusting post I've read by far

 

I could see that. LOL.

 

you know me soo good

GO STEELERS!!

 

JH is a thick power lifting stud... He's not a chemically enhanced freak. Maybe he's messed with stuff in the past as "needing that edge" has played its part in all sports for 40 years now. But he just comes off like a stupidly strong and mean playing man. That don't usually come in a bottle or needle per se

 

That was meant to be in green right?

Harrison has always been a beast all the way back. He just keeps upping the ante on his workouts. No doubt he's eating right and using approved supplements, but he's not stupid and I'd bet he has what he uses double-checked since he knows he's on Goodell's hit list

 

The key is approved vs. unapproved substances . The next big key is taking it at the right time and in the right doses as to not show up just in case it's unapproved now or in the future.

You are correct though almost all players are on something in the NFL, heck most College guys are to and a lot of peeps won't like this , but so are a lot of High School players .The bottom line is the BFS players are usually on something on every level.

 

So Tarkington is trying to compare the 60s and 70s players when steroids was rampant in the NFL, to todays players based on physical size? First of all colleges recruit better and bigger players today than they did in the 60s just because they have instant technology at their finger tips now that wasnt available then, and they changed the standard for the size requirement they want at each position, for example a 230 pound oline was the norm in the 60s, today a 230 pound lineman wouldnt even get to play in college let alone the nfl: In my opinion player performance drug enhancements with all the drug testing available today is much less than it was in tarkingtons era when they didnt have drug testing, and it's a fact that each generation since the 60s has been increasing in height and weight, bottom line, I dont agree with Tark....

 

I somewhat agree. I also think most football players are or have been on something at some point in their career. Yes, some people can get big and strong just by eating right and working out hard. Some people are blessed with good genetics. Others aren't, and for those people, without steroids their body simply will never get to the next level. Harrison obviously isn't part of the latter group, he's just a big, strong dude, but it wouldn't surprise me if he was or has been on something.

Nothing against Harrison, it's more of an assumption about all athletes.

 

4" in a 100 yrs
you talking evolution and that's not allowed

I'm also glad you included "taller" because.....

 

you think Tark evolved into not having dandruff anymore?

 

can Tark sport the "feathered" Farrah look anymore?

 

That study clearly didn't include me. LOL.

 

Ha ha. I have no idea. Im just a guy who enjoys working out, that's all. Im not trained or educated beyond some basic Anatomy & Physiology classes back in the day and trial and error on myself. I think that GB Steel guy (not sure of his name) is a Physical Therapist and/or Trainer or something like that. Whatever, he at least looks the part better than I do . Maybe he's got some insight.

My own personal opinion is that he's probably at the very least dabbled in some stuff at some point. I know from FaceBook that JH is pretty heavy into supplements and I know that stuff can be pretty effective. A good friend of mine is 48 and still pretty ripped up and very strong (400 bench, 525 dl, and 475 squat at 195 lbs) and he's been clean from 'roids for about 25 years, but he still uses supplements. So it is possible to be clean and big, strong, and powerful without them.

 

And regarding the balls shrinking side discussion going on. Im going to leave this right here for your enjoyment It's DEFINITELY nsfw and sorry if I violate any policies TTF, but it's too good to not share. This guy is actually SERIOUS! Feel free to delete/edit if its too much.

****You know what, Im going to go ahead and edit this myself and only provide the link and not embed the video since the title is pretty bad itself. Just click the link. You won't be disappointed ****

It was hard reading some of the things Steeler fans were saying on his FB page when he was with the Bengals. And I'm just a fan, he must have some thick skin. Kudos indeed.

 

Supplements however are a staple
with any of these players... Yes over time humans have gotten bigger stronger faster etc... Look at modified foods and the big push with supplements at earlier ages for that chart. However kids are dropping dead out of nowhere a hell of a lot faster than they did just 20 years ago to boot, or atleast statistically. Damn energy drinks energy bars over the counters and out of the homeboys pocket. Lot more money in the game now than in tarks day and a hell of a lot more commercialized. But make no mistake them vikes along with our steelers and every other damn team had its fair share of roided out beasts. They didn't know the end game from using back then

 

lol
