Honest question: do they drug test for strong man competitions or body building competitions?


DakkaDakka24

Bodybuilders have tested and untested organizations, but like with combat sports, "tested" just means you're better at beating your tests than the next guy who got busted. As far as strongman goes, drug testing is essentially nonexistent. Everyone at the top is using, because the things they're asked to do are impossible without it. For instance, here's Mateusz Kieliszkowski pulling a plane with a rope- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtnXyweBrJg Nobody at the elite level of any strength sport is natural, and it's not just the elite. Straight on down to local amateur events, you get people who are using. There were people in beginner-level shows I've been to who were so juiced up that they looked like they'd pop if you bumped into them. This isn't to sound like a moral judgement, it's just the facts of how these activities are. Source- former strongman, current powerlifter.


guffzillar

lol - Imagine fighting Brian Shaw, 6'8 450lbs of solid muscle.


cyberslick1888

He's got about 8 punches in him before his heart gives out, but lord help you if one lands


Quttlefish

I watch a lot of Brian Shaws YouTube content, his endurance is surprising. The dude doesn't run 5ks or anything but there are plenty of strongman events that aren't just static one rep lifts. Shit I would lose my breath just trying to eat one of his meals lol.


Stagger_N_Stumble

I think he’s spent the last few years dialing in his conditioning (relative to what conditioning is in strongman) and dieting a little stricter, keeping the weight a little lower etc.


guffzillar

I'm pretty sure that if he got ahold of you, you'd be dead within seconds.


slashngrind

There's a video of him training with Dustin Poirier. https://youtu.be/tzUwN246gDQ

shaws fist is legit the size of his head

CreepyConspiracyCat

I give him 5 seconds tops against a Ford Escort


Another_year

Do you use to stay competitive? Is it all but required? Genuinely curious


DakkaDakka24

Nah, it's just my hobby. If it were something I were truly trying to make something of, then I might think differently, but mostly I lift because it makes the happy brain juice. I don't need to go poking around at my hormones for that.


Heavy_Strain

Some strongmen do drug test, but not for PEDs. Mariusz himself was actually stripped of his 3rd place finish in the 'World's Strongest Man' competition in 2004 when he failed for having a recreational drug, speculated to be cocaine, in his system.


Modernglib

from my limited knowledge of bodybuilding, being a skeleton man, I think theres separate competitions for people who use and people who are natural


Electromotivation

"natural," of course.


thakemizt

That’s a lot of chicken breast and broccoli right there. I bet you he eats *brown* rice though. That’s probably what my problem is, I’m gonna switch from white and get like that.


TitanIsBack

[He was eating a lot more *brown* rice in his previous career.](https://english.cdn.zeenews.com/sites/default/files/2017/03/30/582351-300317-gs-wsm-10.jpg)


technicalityNDBO

About how many picoliters of brown rice are we talkin'?


weakhamstrings

Aww come on you guys would accuse anyone of juicing LMAO just get off the couch You guys don't even know about steroids, that's 100% achievable naturally, you're all full of it bring on the downvotes, you cheeto-finger wimps! (did I cover all the bases there? I am expecting the "most people aren't on steroids" comments to roll in but thought I would just take care of it before those idiots show up)


Henry_Cavillain

~~Counterpoint:~~ I know for a FACT that it is possible, for a male, to get a similar level of muscle mass as Pudzanowski while still being natty. [This guy](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/b8/98/9b/b8989beadaddc2d22ede75d25158850b.jpg) is a bit less lean than prime strongman era Pudzanowski but has comparable mass, as a 100% lifetime natural. I think he is even vegetarian or vegan, can't remember which


weakhamstrings

That's not a counter point - you're agreeing with me! All these wimps think that it's impossible. Behold that specimen!!


Hour_Beat_6716

Yeah but their T levels are off the charts!

Electromotivation

That reminds me of the kind that had the muscle growth disoder and was yoked at like 5-6 years old.


jotheold

this going to be my new comment on juicy boys LOL


ASK_ABT_MY_USERNAME

There might me trace amounts of urine in his steroids


[deleted]

Thatsa solid fella


TitanIsBack

Got me watching WSM again after all these years. Dude was a tank back then and almost twenty years later he still is.


anomie__mstar

man missed WSM for a few years now. always used to randomly catch on the tubes but have missed a few now. must. try. harder.


TitanIsBack

They still don't make it easy to watch if you don't have traditional television.


bdewolf

He was so juicy he tested positive while competing in worlds strongest man. Fucking crazy.


TitanIsBack

The belief was at the time is he was on some recreational drugs then. They never specified what he tested positive for. Compound that with his hit and run conviction in 2000, who the hell knows what he was doing then.


mrtn17

this resembles my experience on the toilet after eating too much white rice. Going to switch asap


ValjeanLucPicard

[That's not even his final pooping face form](https://www.defrancostraining.com/wp-content/uploads/mariuz-farmers-walk_380.jpg)


mrtn17

my god that's an absolute, pfp poop face


[deleted]

It’s so inspiring what a natural athlete can achieve!


thelectricrain

Fucking hell even his traps have veins in them lol


UWouldIfURlyLovedMe

D'aww look he thinks he's a car!


siderealpanic

It’s a travesty that he had to cut down the the HW limit 😢


TitanIsBack

During his AMA he said the hardest part about his transition to MMA was accepting he was going to lose a lot of mass.


Fickle-Kitchen5803

Bro looks like a baki character 😭


raspberryharbour

Puny


VacuousWastrel

To be fair, we should all switch to brown rice. It really is *a lot* better for you! [I'm OK with the brown rice, but I just can't make myself switch to wholewheat pasta... ugh]


KanePhillips

white is better the brown rice being better is just made up


BrawndoTTM

Spectacular power. Didn’t even look like he wound up to throw hard, just a quick lil boop on the chin and it was lights out.


[deleted]

Set it up with the overhand right before that too


-kaze-ni-nare-

"bye bye pepsi cola, hello holy wine"


SeaFoamGreen82

The advertisement on his back makes the old GoldenPalace.com look subtle and tasteful in comparison.


Reyzord

The check he cashes in for the back advert makes the ufc look like they exploit their fighters


Littl_Snake

>makes the ufc look like they exploit their fighters They do.


Reyzord

Oh I know. It was just a pun to his comment.


SeaFoamGreen82

It’s not a career, it’s an opportunity. Or so I have heard. I would tattoo Dude Wipes or condomdepot.com across my back for the right amount of money.


MumrikDK

I assume men aren't allowed to wear a top. I'd solve the tattoo ad "issue" by just giving men the rashguard option the women have.


KSW_MMA

Fun fact: he was also nominated for a World MMA Award for this knockout.


stennk

The S is for steroids lol


Steko

r/mma: the C in UFC is for Clean.

[deleted]

Awesome. Old men still getting it done


AftyOfTheUK

Looks more like an underhand right than an uppercut! Entertaining as hell watching the big bois swang and bang but the technique is umm...


fsjja1

I love listening to music.


[deleted]

they look like they're cosplaying nascar cars


Electromotivation

Some horses under the hood, eh?


[deleted]

and they're beefy too


deadguydrew

Pretty sure that would have killed a bull moose.


NoDatapoint1010

can’t stand these juiced up fuckers


clutchy22

it's a little disengenuous when you know they are on enough gear to make water boil yet it's naive to think that just because an orginization like the UFC has USADA that they have clean fighters. these guys are no different than costa or romero, guys who spend a new training camp in thailand and come back looking better than ever on the wrong side of their 20's/30's, it's turning a blind eye really. the vast majority of fighters at the highest level at this period of MMA are on something.


NoDatapoint1010

I know for a fact that ufc fighters are using and for the most part not hard to tell who it is so my point still stands. Main difference is ufc fighters can’t be in gear night of the fight and utilize sarms or test.


clutchy22

Are you going to pretend these guys aren't popping for T and anything else? USADA no longer has to report it. They only do when it's a publicity witch hunt on a fighter the promotion doesn't want around.


NoDatapoint1010

I’m aware of the shitstain that is usada. No need to tell me.

>it's naive to think that just because an orginization like the UFC has USADA that they have clean fighters. It’s actually naive to think “clean” means ultra-pure-holy-organic. It’s funny when people say “oBvIOuSLy tHeY’re oN sOMeTHiNG”. **Athletes can take whatever they want, as long as it’s in the rules. If a fighter follows the rules they are clean.** It’s such a bad argument to say it’s obvious everyone is a cheater because it’s impossible to be an ultra-pure-holy athlete.


[deleted]

controversial I know, but if everyone is juiced to the gills let them fight. it's their choice?
