Here's some interesting tidbits from article - Apparently, according to this article, HGH alone doesn't increase strength. " Growth hormone is a powerful anabolic hormone that affects all body systems and plays an important role in muscle growth. Animal experiments have shown that growth...

How good does this work in terms of building muscle without using it with anabolic steroids ? And how effective is it, and is it really the " foutain of youth " ?

Anyway, I'll be back in a few hours. Since you'll probably spend the next few hours on the net doing whatever, try and find me evidence to back up your claims, and prove me wrong.

That debunks NOTHING. Besides the fact that the story is most likely inaccurate, there is a difference between a couple guys throwing that fast and the league standard to be throwing that fast. If you think the average fast ball has not increased in speed over the years, you're crazy. The...

Here's the article on admitted steroid user tom house - http://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/2005-05-03-steroids-house_x.htm?csp=34 House said he gained almost 30 pounds while using steroids, blaming the extra weight for contributing to knee problems. He said the drugs helped improve...

so the recovering faster from injuries aspect of steroids is a red herring ?

It's extremely interesting that these slew of injuries among stars came at the EXACT same-time steroids actually became rampant in baseball.

Actually, there have been studies done by historians that debunks the myth that today's pitchers throw harder. http://baseball-fever.com/showthread.php?t=37240 http://baseball-fever.com/showthread.php?t=20992 And yes, I know there was steroids used in the 60's. There was a pitcher who...

Player X gets a prescription for Growth Hormone and injects it. Player Y takes 2000 mg of arginine and ornithine, two amino acids that occur in protein containing foods. Arginine and ornithine stimulate the pituitary gland to produce growth hormone. The production of growth hormone helps to...

Now, one question to anyone, could isometric training routines enhance batspeed ?

I agree that the recovery aspect of the drug could be beneficial, but could it also cause various types of injuries ? There's been a noticeable large amount of injuries in the " steroid era " among superstars - If I could find the link to the article, I will post it.

Sure it did, outside of a few isolated incidents, there's very little evidence that steroids even had a remotely noticeble impact on numbers. Either for pitchers or batters. Let's see, a 300+lb bodybuilder (contest shape) vs a baseball player at 240lbs MAX--not really comparable. Your point...

Read this article - http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=4845 I was questioning it because bulking up isn't necessarily going to benefit some to a great degree - Now I could agree that somene could see some warning track flyballs fly out of the park with the added strength...

This really doesn't anwser my question though, bonds is an isolated incident. Leaguewide, statiscians have confirmed that there's very little evidence that steroids even had a small impact on baseball homerun numbers - Ofcourse, there may be isolated incidents, but nonetheless, very little have...

I see, and I could agree to a certain extent. But recovery could be very beneficial to a pitcher, especially an elder one. I've always suspected that roger clemens used something due to his sustained dominance well into his 40's. He had the stamina and endurance that a younger pitcher didn't...
