Power Question for KOartist and other fighters

[MMAfighter]

KOartist, what gear has most helped you develop the kind of explosive strength u need for fighting? have u ever used anything that seemed to help your wind?

 

[genarr3]

Balance, proper mechanics, then speed. Figure out what steroid does that.

genarr, with all due respect, why did you post a smart ass answer like that? i was asking a serious question. when an elite athlete asks a question about one specific aspect of his training and preparation, why would you assume that he was neglecting the fundamentals of his training?

i am a serious athlete who works on his balance, power and speed every day. usually twice a day as a matter of fact. i have an undefeated record and a respected regional title. i plan to keep both of them, AND take it to the next level.

are you trying to say that steroids do not increase stength and power? my opponents are training like animals too, the're juiced too. i try to get every advantage i can researching the most advanced training methods and YES the safest and most effective ways to chemically enhance myself. thats just part of the game nowadays.

have you ever stepped into the octagon? once you've been there, you spare no efforts to be prepared the next time you go in. i get HURT if i'm not properly prepared in there, so PLEASE, serious responses only!

I apologize for grouping you with the typical aspiring fighter that asks this question. The vast majority of the time it's guys looking for courage in a pill or an injection.
This is obviously not the case with you.

Have I stepped into the Octagon? No. Do I know and trained with people that have? Yes. I have competed as both an amateur boxer and submission wrestler. At the time I didn't use any gear, at that level any time spent in the gym weight training would have been better spent in the ring or on the mat.

Yes, I agree when you get to the top levels chemical enhancement will help.

My suggestions for you would be either:
Anavar
Halo
EQ
Primo
The first two best for strength gains. The last two lesser strength gains, but very tendon friendly. Which as I'm sure you know is a good thing when you're in a sport were your joints are tested constantly.

No Winstrol, no Dianabol.
Winstrol is very hard on the joints. I'm sure you have some joint issues as most submission fighters do. Try a few weeks of winstrol and get back to me about how much worse they are then.
Dianabol pumps will kill your training. Take downs are no fun if you're back hurts from the pump most people get when on it. Not to mention calf pumps and not being able to hold a neck crank because your biceps hurt from the pump.

Maybe test suspension the day of your match. Definitely try this one out in training to see how it effects you. You don't want any surprises fight day.

I'm assuming you don't wish to put on a lot of weight. Just strength and lean muscle.

Good luck,

I'd think a test/var cycle would be just the thing. Test for aggressiveness and var for quality mass and connective tissue strength.

thanks for the info genarr. sorry i went off on you, from my post there is no way you could have known whether i was a serious athlete or a some shmuck looking for a shortcut.

i have 3 main goals from my gear

strength & power....however, i'm a super-heavyweight already, so i don't have to worry about throwing on too much mass, it won't bump me out of my weight class. smaller fighters have to worry about their power/weight ratio: if they get bigger they just end up fighting bigger opponents. IMO super-heavyweights should have a very different training and gear strategy: once you're a super-heavyweight, you should just try to be the biggest, strongest, super-heavyweight u can be.

durability....loved what deca does for my joints. also, never underestimate the anti-inflammatory properties of the juice.

wind...if u want to be faster and stronger than your opponent, just be in better shape than he is: by the 2nd round, you'll be faster and stronger than he is. some steroids increase red blood cell count and thus increase your wind. however, some very androgenic compounds feel like they put a lot of stress on my heart and seem to reduce my wind. anyone know more on this subject?

also, what is so special about test suspension? i've never used it b4

I'm coaching a guy now 7 weeks into Tren- the turn around is amazing. Super aggressive w/o being too stupid. However, wind is down.

good luck!!!
