juice & k-1?

[SAGAT]

just wondering what your takes on this are, maybe this is a naive question but do you guys think every K-1 fighter juices? some of them look natural to me (aerts, musashi for example) but others definitely look juiced to the gills. (sapp being about 350 pounds, le banner @ about 270) opinions anyone?

I'm sure some do and some don't. . . . in some sports Juice just doesn't seem to be such a big factor.

 

[SAGAT]

well, i guess so...it just seems amazing to me that these guys are big as shit (well some of them anyways) and still go at it for all those rounds.

If you ever watch "The Smashing Machine" you'll see that Mark Kerr was addicted to Opiates and didn't use any juice as one would think... he said that the Opiates increased his Endurance and Painthreshold.

well no one knows if he did or didnt use juice. Just cuz they didnt show him juiceing doesnt mean he didnt. Maybe hes got super human genetics but that dude sure looks like a past juicer to me.

There are some dudes outhere with SICK genetics. I have a friend who just competed in the NCAA Wrestling Championship, the dude looks better than most juicers on this board. Pound for pound one the of strongest people on the planet. The guy has never juiced in his life... doesn't really take supplements either, I got him a couple of tubs of GPlenish and some PF protein and supps, thats about it.

yea i think most Pro BB's have super genetics to look the way they do......people like Coleman, Schwartzennegar, Cutler, I think they would look like monsters even if they didnt juice. Of course they wouldnt look how they do now, but they would still look bigger/better then 90% of the people in the world, as long as they dieted and worked out.

As long as we are talking about Genetics... I think with fighting genetics takes a second seat to sheer mental toughness. Those guys have the spirit and mind of a fighter. When faced with pain or fear of injury most people wither away and rather leave the ring than face pain… The fighters are the guys that stick it out and fight to win…

oh of course! I mean theres only a hand full of fighters i can think of who have BB type genetics.......Vitor Belfort comes to mind, also Kerr, Mark Coleman, Phil Baroni (used to be a BB), Ken and Frank Shamrock.

then you have Tito Ortiz, and Chuck Liddell, Randy Couture, Wanderlei Silva, Quinton Jackson, Sakuraba, Igor and on and on.
Not very many of the top fighters have impresive physiques.
You gonna watch the fights tomorrow?
