[Bonesbonesbonesbone]

All modern athletes are taking some steroids or other substances, even in sports that weren't typically associated with steroid usage.

Because you have to be strong asf to push back a 290 6'10 bbc in the post.

Yeh I don't understand how they can be so muscular

Can't tell me they're lifting 3x a week during playing season

Must be steroids or supplements or something

Look at the NBA players from the 60s, they were very lean

weight training since they have to get size to battle in the paint

Lebron is most likely taking steroids for recovery and endurance but THAT MF was muscular as a 16 yr old in highschool. So steroids are not the reason for why he is so buff it is due to 1 in a billion genetics

Jfl they're not. They are athletes so are crazy strong, but muscle slows them down and screws their cardio.

I have seen steph curry in gym who looks like a framelet, but IRL he was pushing some serious weight.

U can't refer to LeBron, nigga is a small forward who's built like an MMA heavyweight, but was a tank even aged 18.

CENTRES can benefit from being jacked, cos more weight to push around and win post matches, but for them more than being jacked it's about having mass.

Only other legit tank I can think of was Karl Malone the JB slayer back in the day...

There are younger teen athletes who start taking steroids at even earlier ages.

In many other sports athletes were also lean(soccer, tennis, etc.) but now they look jacked, they are definitely on something.
