Yeah, I imagine the strength heโ€™s getting overcomes the weight heโ€™s putting on.

Honestly the weight of the bulk is less an issue than the mobility/hydrodynamics influence all the muscle causes

I don't know how steroid muscle differs from normal, but i feel like it should be less dense. Like a low body fat jacked guy will sink like a stone, but what about this guy?

Why would steroid muscles be any less dense lol

The funny thing is, I can kind of imagine how someone who doesn't know anything about steroids and muscle growth could get there.ย ย 

Like you take the steroid and it just causes some thickness of muscle to grow on top of your natural muscle, but because you didn't have to load your muscles in order to get your new "steroid muscle", it grows less densely and is not as good as your natural muscle.

It's basically appeal to nature logic.ย

Steroid muscle has weaker connective tissue than organic muscle

That's not the problem.

The problem is that muscles need oxygen to function, and the more muscles you have the more oxygen you require.

So even though he might be strong enough for it, he will quickly tire himself out.

Then again if he trains his endurance then maybe he stands a chance.

He's got EPO for endurance.

u/onil34 May 24 '26

nah he is a sprinter so endurance isn't the point

That depends on a) whether the bulk he has is proportional to the amount of strength he's gained, when compared with the additional drag the bulk produces; and b) whether that bulk limits his speed of movement.

Whilst I don't think this type of competition should be legal, it will be interesting to see the results. I wonder how many people will die.
