Show 9 CC::N tKZZT THE Thursday, Dec. 29, 1988 SF02T3 By Dr. Greg Shepard You may have to mentally gear yourself to intensive workouts and plan them intelligently. You may have to study the technique of lifting and the methodology of correct training principles with more diligence, but you: will get bigger and stronger. Our Bigger Faster Stronger organization conducts about 100 clinics for high school athletes every year nationwide. Seventy-fiv- e high schools have won their state football championship after such clinics. I have found some amazing truths during these clinics. When an athlete has confidence in his technique, and the adrenalin starts to flow because his teammates are loudlv yelling encouragement, he will lift more than ever before. It is very common to see jumps in the power clean, jumps in the bench, and jumps in the dead lift and squat. One clinic day can be like a year of steroids. V Editor's Note.

As a result, the scientific and doctors were community virtually ignored. It was a mistake on both sides. But now the pendulum has swung too far the other way. .' Doctors, scientists take and physiologists, ' : What happens when a Q person begins taking steroids? A - Usually, an immediate jump can be seen in one lifts, and one can also expect an increase in body ' weight. The increased strength gain is due in part to the increased body weight and increased muscular size. There is also, in many, a placebo effect. If you expect to be stronger, you will be stronger. A more intensive workout usually takes place, and perhaps Quicker recovery. Now before you run right out and juice up on some "rbids", read on and discover the Great Steroid Myth. great care in agreeing that steroids give a great advantage. ' Many steroid users and potential users may have more faith in scientific statements, but these statements may also put more fuel on the steroid fire. Let's bring the pendulum back to the balance center and analyze things more i closely. Steroids will help in some areas, but not markedly in other areas. -- SALT LAKE. Judge Memorial 83-7- er . ; ' . Steroid users say they get more intensive workouts. What do you say? A - I believe that much of the Q 40-3- nt 64-4- A Many steroid users who make this claim are bodybuilders and ' they spend up to 25 hours per week lifting in the gym. Athletes, like football players and track athletes, should only spend a maximum of hours per week in the weight room during the The other training hours should be spent in different areas. Therefore, the recovery needs for a bodybuilder in the weight room are different Smart lifters will also vary their sets and repetitions and their exercises. This allows speedier recovery and helps keep stateness from setting in. The Bigger Faster Stronger system does not repeat the same workout during an entire month, our athletes continually break records week after week and month after So month. this "steroid advantage" is meaningless to us. 4-- 12 n. Q . What is the bottom line? A - One bottom line is winning, but another is learning positive things about yourself that will help you be happy and successful throughout life. In bodybuilding, winning is derived from muscular size, symmetry, vascularity, and a posing routine. Most bodybuilders agree that steroids give them an edge in winning but when they compete they don't run, jump or score goals. In powerlifting, winning is derived on the demonstration of pure strength. There is very little to be learned, technique especially when you compare it to the skill required in shooting a shot jump accurately and correctly. Many powerlifters insist that steroids are essential to winning; however, Bigger Faster Stronger does not concern itself with bodybuilders of powerlifters. We are dedicated to helping athletes succeed. We concentrate on sports like football, wrestling, basketball, baseball, track and field, etc. intensity that is attributed to steroids is psychological.

Switching from oral to injectable steroids is also common Steroid users normally start out with 10 to 20 milligrams per day. This can escalate to 500 milligrams per day, with the user spending hundreds of dollars per month. The user is hooked and the myth is alive.. Explosive Bulldogs Rip Rams For 83-7- 0 Victory used its usual explosive outburst Friday night to race to a 24-- 7 advantage in the third quarter and turned what had been a close 0 win over game into an Highland. The win was the ninth in a row for the Bulldogs, who will have an opportunity to set a new school record for consecutive wins when they travel to Ben Lomond tomorrow (Friday) for a 7:30 game against the Scots. The team will then start its Region Six season on Friday, January 6, traveling to Tooele also at 7:30. Highland started off fast Friday and led by 6 before the Judge team got untracked. Both teams tenacious pressing employed defenses throughout the entire game, and it was obvious to start that Judge was not used to playing against as good a pres as Highland's. Judge did come back, however, and was down only one, at 6 at the quarter. The game was an intense battle full court the throughout, pressure effecting the scoring of Judge point guard Jimmy Soto. But his passing enabled his teammates to make easy baskets driving to the hoop and Judge had a 8 lead at the half. : The margin in scoring during the third quarter gave Judge a 5 edge at the end of the third quarter. Highland did manage to cut the margin during the fourth quarter as Judge substituted freely. Coach Jim Yerkovich credited his team's defensive intensity during the pivotal third quarter as one key to the win. He was also pleased with the balanced scoring of his team, necessitated by the pressure that had been put on Soto. Soto had still scored 16 points, while dishing out eight assists and having six recoveries. ed . v LAKE. The media, doctors, athletes and the general public believe that steroids give a tremendous an athlete advantage. I. have come to the conclusion steriods that a calling "Performance Enhancing Drug" is tragically incorrect Everyone has assumed that automatically steroids create a super athlete. That is the Great Steroid Myth. Many people simply shrug and say, "You cant compete without them." This vis dangerous thinking. This creates an urge in the average person to take them because nobody tests an average person. In the past, it has created an urge for the great athlete to find a way to mask or conceal his or her Steroid use. Perhaps the Ben - Johnson scenario will discourage some, but you can bet some very smart people are in a lab somewhere right not trying figure out a way to beat the tests used in Seoul. We at Bigger Faster Stronger are unalterably opposed to anabolic steroid use by any athlete, bodybuilder, or competitive lifter. We applaud the stand taken by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) at the Seoul Olympic games. Stripping the Gold Medal from track and field's greatest star, Ben Johnson, and others demonstrates not only the earnestness of the IOC but also the sophistication of present drug testing. The IOC has banned "performance enhancing drugs," which refers mostly to anabolic steroids. Anabolic steroids should be are banned because they In fact, dangerous. downright there are about 70 health reasons not to take steroids. These reasons should be enough to scare individual to any death: severe heart and liver problems are a real possibility, Sexual dysfunction iff both males and femaleris prevdentAene,' which can lead to facial scarring, seems to be minor when to other compared steroid complications. "Roid rages" are a way of describing mood changes which have led to violence and even murder. Anabolic steroids should be banned primarily because they present a very real danger to one's health; and secondarily, because of the illegal advantage steroids are supposed to give in competition. Ten to 15 years ago doctors said that steroids don't help strength and with teammate an enthusiastic coach, one of the very few positives associated with steroid use is virtually eliminated. ejaaBMM tea M Niaae) kum i teams go v :' Irsctort Csttrctnt tnertatet Gas It;t C5 I1, |
