Interviewed_at_Weehawken Posted March 23 Posted March 23 (edited) 7 minutes ago, 1032004 said: This is Bastida’s 3rd season at heavyweight though. There was a guy at UNI that started out as a 174 and finished as a heavyweight. I sucked massive weight to make 150. Starvation, dehydration, trained multiple times a day. I didn't qualify for nationals as a senior and completely gave up on exercise for 3-4 months. I ate constantly, and they were not necessarily healthy foods. I was 190ish within a month. I was not fat by any stretch of the imagination. I'm not sure of the mechanism but my muscles seemed to just fill up and not as much was going to fat. (Granted, I was cutting from 170+ every week so a lot was rehydrating) So, I can see guys who were cutting big weight seeming to blow up overnight with no PED help.

Hilton Head Joe Posted March 23 Posted March 23 Another question I have is if Yonger and AJ were the same size in 2022, height and body type why couldn't AJ get over 225 and Yonger hits 250? Made the difference in their match! 1

KennyEBHS Posted March 23 Author Posted March 23 I don't get why many fans think so many athletes are juiced. Some of the comments in this thread are stupid. Bastida had some pimples on his face at 197! Maybe he just has pimples. Ohio State did poorly because they stopped juicing before the nationals. That is ridiculous. It takes a long time for all the PEDs to clear your system. 1
1032004 Posted March 23 Posted March 23 (edited) Speaking of AJ, is it safe to say his points made the difference for Nebraska between 4th and 3rd place? Does that make adding him worthwhile? Edited March 23 by 1032004

AJ is fighting the good fight for you guys I assume this is ironic but his giant HGH bubble gut makes me think he's not fighting the good fight "Half measures are a coward's form of insanity."

AJ is fighting the good fight for you guys Do they? Other than guys that actually got caught like Fix & Brooks, I can’t really think of anyone specific recently where there was all that much chatter about it except for Kasak and that was driven by Shapiro’s comments (and yes, I know it’s not for sure that that’s who Shapiro was even referring to). I do kinda wish Kasak transfers and then some of the wrestling just started in 2010 folks will probably accuse him. 1

Hilton Head Joe Posted March 26 Posted March 26 Ziola is the bigger guy. No brainer. AJ at 197 Ziola at HWT. Unless they add that 220-235lb wt class that everyone is screaming about but that keeps getting rejected so AJ has a dec to make!
Southend Posted March 26 Posted March 26 So my take here is ,from all the posts is, the sport is clean. Nobody takes Juice anymore, right? Accusations be damned.

THIS. Ziola is the future at HWT and could finish top 6, which is what AJ just did. Same for McDanel, he just scored more point than AJ, no need to RS him. AJ comes with a huge risk because he might MFF at any time. Even at 197, he has to wrestle enough matches to get a seed to stay on the opposite side of the bracket from Barr. Barr would destroy him and then he his likely to MFF back to 6th with a bruised ego ago.
cangemi Posted March 27 Posted March 27 I defended him first few times. Young. Seems like he learned. Really no reason to bring that up. Even if you believe it. No reason. His own worst enemy. I seen enough.

Did anyone else with a different last name lose a semi and then not wrestle any more? (That's a rhetorical question, folks.)
