Top Natural Powerlifters on steroids

[Connelly]

If you took the strongest lifetime Natural powerlifters in the world and put them on steroids, GH, and any other drugs you can think of, how much stronger do you think they would get?

Do you think that a person could go from Squatting 600 and benching 400 (raw w/o powerlifting gear) to squatting 1000 and benching 700 with powerlifting support gear and maximum drug use?

I personally don't see why this wouldn't be entirly possible. Most people don't agree with me, and I can't figure out why.

What is the deal with these people who are lifting 700+ and squatting 1000+? How strong do you think they would be had they never touched a drug in thier life?

People respond differently to steroids. However you are asking two questions - how much can be added with both kinds of gear.

There are people that have squatted 1000 and benched 700 in powerlifting gear without the use of steroids. In most cases, this probably takes about a 600-700lb raw squat and a 450+ raw bench. Now there are those who lift a lot more raw than that who are still "only" squatting 1000 or benching 700, but we're talking about the minimums here for a significant portion of the population.

As far as what it could do for the top drug-free guys...who knows. One example I know of is a guy who pulled 804 (on multiple occasions I think, but I know at least once) drug-free in his late 30's. When he got to his early 40's, he started using. His pull (he pulls in just a belt, no gear) has only gone up maybe 30lbs since then. Other guys seem to gain a lot more (especially if they're weaker to start with). You also don't know the hormonal makeup of some of the drug-free guys, so it's hard to tell what they're working with anyway.

??? that doesn't make any sense

it has to do with one's affinity of his receptors

plus the stronger they are the closer they are to their genetic limit meaning the gear can only take you so much further

Actually it might make more sense than we care to think. Think of it this way. Genetically superior (for strength or muscle mass) individuals probably have receptors with a higher affinity for the hormones that naturally circulate in their veins. This is possibly one of the reasons that they recuperate better, get stronger/bigger easier etc. It then stands to reason that these same people would respond exceptionally well to exogenous hormones as well.

Just something to ponder.
