Any college football/ex-football players here?

[Power36]

yes i played college football and never juiced, it wasn't necessary. if you cannot get jacked at 18/19 years old then you don't have the genetics and/or dont work.. I was fast.. clocked in at 4.4.. played RB. very quick. unfortunately got nailed with 2 severe injuries (blew out my right arm tendon and a concussion) and never got to see the field.. it turned out good though cause i focused on my career and am still doing that 12 years later.

I agree to a large extent, I had plenty of natural hormones and worked my butt off and supplemented, ate right ,and had plenty of speed, strength, and power...cant say I wasnt tempted if I couldve found someone I trusted to get stuff I wanted....even back then I read the old MM2K magazines and Anabolic Reference Guide or whatever from Bill Phillips I think, and I wanted some anavar and primo tabs....I wanted to stay at the same bodyweight and just get better recovery or gain a few pounds, but not much....

yes I knew guys who juiced....and shit happened to some...some would take pills they bought from who knows, and one guy had half his face go into paralysis, it went away but was scary...again taking stuff you dont know what it really is....another took what he thought was EQ, a year later tested positive for nandrolone.....others were guys that took anadrol and test, blew up over the summer, came into camp I suspect not doing PCT, and lost a ton of it, then felt depressed and didnt feel motivated to train hard until season was over and they did a next cycle....to me it was scary because guys were getting stuff from the same person on campus selling weed and coke....mmm and back then computers were not as fancy or capable, but guys would buy stuff that Id look up in the book I had, and Id be like Johnson and Johnson doesnt make that in 20cc bro, whatever it is it might not be what it says it is....

so anyways I know guys juiced, but to my knowledge i never heard of anyone doing PCT...they just werent that informed and there wasnt internet sites yet like this....you just did what the doper sellign it told you to do, or what you heard from a bodybuilder back in your hometown....guys blew up then lost alot of it...some were smart kept their mouths shut but seemed to keep gains, but it was obvious at times because the changes were so fast and dramatic, no idea what they were doing....the NYC and NJ boys seemed to have a good hook back home haha...otehrs went on spring break to Mexico and brought back what they could .....but times have changed so much since 9/11 that I dont know if that would be smart these days, nor heading into Mexico for that matter!

I didn't even know what a steroid was back then. I just busted my ass and never gave up. A lot of the guys I ran into, couldn't read or add 2 numbers together to save their life. Back then though, football players got automatic passing grades to keep them eligible so when they graduated they were even dumber than when they started and had no clue what their degree involved.

Thanks again for the military props. I look around today and realize that all of the young kids that fought, have fought, are fighting and will fight in Iraq and Afghanistan are the ones who will save this country and I feel a lot of the time that I am not worthy to be in their presence. I may have served, but I did not have to put my ass on the line as they have done are doing every single day. These are the kids that will rebuild this country!

God Bless our troops for sure...and as much as I love sports, screw the kids who are here playing college sports and not taking advantage of the education, when there are guys/gals over in some sh$thole away from family and friends sucking it up for us, wishing they could come back and get a free education at a big time university....

I agree. I remember when Pat Tillman left a multi-million dollar contract with the Cardinals to join the Army and serve our country. Only to be killed in combat. No one understood, least of all the sports casters and such. What really pissed me off the most was when they built the Cardinal stadium and were looking for a name, it should have been a no brainer to call it the Pat Tillman Stadium. Instead, they call it the University of Phoenix stadium. What bullshit that was! I'm from AZ so that plus being a Marine really just fucking pissed me off to no end!

No, it had to do with cc fraud and identity theft so watch out lol jk but it really was about using someone elses cc at a 7-11 for some food and cigarettes...

i actually even got pulled over, they found steroids in my car, just took them and other electronics i had stolen and didnt say anything about them. But that was in my hometown not in Marine bootcamp

I can see that.....but there would be no money in naming it after him...Im sure Univ of Phoenix dumped a ton of cash to have it named that......all about "show me the money".....isnt that one of those retard online degree bullshits?

God Bless a guy like Tillman.....in the glory days of this country folks left Ivy League schools and pro sports, to sign up and serve in WWI, WWII, Korea.....it meant something to serve.....there was an obligation to give back to this great nation.....these days too many folks are "whats in it for me" entitlement bullshit...

You can make D2 football it sounds like, so keep a positive mindframe.....get your ass into a D2 school, tear it up playing ball, enjoy it, love it, get that education....look into OCS summer programs, you can go to military training a few weeks each summer, then graduate and be an officer.....or check into enlistments, there are huge bonuses now.....but if you have the ability, bust your ass and play college ball, wont be something you get another chance at.....and then when you are at your D2 school, talk to some military recruiters......Army National Guard has some cool deals, you can go Special Forces from a NG unit....

Jus wanna know what cycles you did if any? And what your stats were and your lifts while in college. Im currently jus going to a JC, playin there next year and planning on going D-2 the year after. My goals are

455 squat
365 bench
495 deadlift
225 OHP
35" vert
4.5 40yd dash

Im 5'10", 200lbs, 10% BF. My 40yd dash is probably 4.6, and my vert is terrible. Probably 28"

I plan on doing 5x5 MWF starting in January with plyos/sprints on T/TH/SA

What did you guys do as far as cycles, training, etc? Thx in advance for sharing guys!

I seem to remember you starting a post last year about playing D-1 football. You were trying to increase your speed from like 4.7 to 4.5 but you listed your height around 5'7" or 5'8".

Congratulation on increasing the height. What is your secret?
