Please. There are physiological limits to size and ffmi. For some cases its obvious:

Cool. We were talking about Jason Zuback. So no, you can't know just by looking.

He doesn't look like the photo you posted.

At this point were having a much broader discussion. This is what I said on where you can clearly see steroid use"Look at any ifbb pro. Any pro strongman".

Again I was pointing out where you can definitely 100% see use. I did not say Zuback was a slam dunk. What I have said and pointed out is that he does show some obvious signs.

No, we weren't, because I wasn't. You attempted to sway the discussion to whatever an "ifbb pro" is, but I didn't consent to that switch.

My comments have always gone back to your assessment that Jason Zuback "pretty obvious[ly]" used steroids.

Bullshit, and it's ridiculous of you to make that claim. It's a man's reputation, and you're going on nothing but looking at some old video.

We as In other people in this thread. You werent is not that same as no one was. You jumped along in the last few messages. I just gave you an example where you can clearly see use. IFBB heavyweights - google it if you dont know what it means.

As far as Zuback goes as I said before there are some obvious signs but sure its not definitive proof.

No, you don't get to redefine the topic like that, nor do you get to try to skirt past the original thing on which I called you out: your statement that Zuback "pretty obvious[ly]" took steroids.

No, I called you out immediately on the Zuback bit. I've never left that topic. Every post I've made since then has been to call you out on your statements re: Zuback.

I couldn't care less about that example. I've never left the Zuback example.

Then don't say it's "pretty obvious" he took steroids.

No more. Just stop.

There was broader discussion with @Lihu and @sharpljp.

Then you should probably call out the person who originally threw out the question.

I never used Zuback as an example of someone that was a clear cut case. Pretty obvious != definite.

Stop twisting everything Ive said.

Not twisting a thing. You said "pretty obvious" and posted a video of Jason Zuback.

That's the only topic I've ever addressed here with you today.

Once more: the end. Stop.

Eric, 

If you need to shut it down you can. The topic has lost its true meaning anyway.

Agree, and the last linebacker comment was about 5’11” 225 pound ones being referred to as little ones.

True. But I prefer that things just peter out on their own, rather than making an actual decision to lock things. We try, as a staff, to reserve those for the most extreme situations.

Huh? Am I missing something here? A 5'11" 225 lb linebacker would be undersized in the NFL.

Exactly, they're "little ones". In fact, the smallest.

Right, so built like a linebacker would mean 6'4"ish and 250ish

If you say so, I'd believe you.

All I know is St. Francis's (Catholic High School) entire team are about that size. They're pretty huge and Catholic high schools are really competitive.

Right, when someone says, "built like a linebacker", they are talking about the average, not an extreme.

Has nothing to do with this thread. It makes no sense to go from talking about NFL proto-typical linebackers to a high school.

Just a point of reference for me. I don't really follow every player in football and barely know 50% of the rules when I watch games with some friends who's kids play at these various competitive schools. Other than googling facts for fun, I'm pretty football illiterate.

    • Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.
    • Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
    • Oh yea, now I remember reading about you on TMZ!
    • Of course there's not a simple or knowable answer here. But the whole Caitlin Clark phenomenon is a nice example IMO. Suddenly there was wall to wall media coverage and national attention and... the women's tournament got similar ratings to the men's and much higher ratings than the men in the final four. With every indication that there will be some portion of the uptick that remains going forward. And there's the whole element that Sue Bird brought up. That basketball needed a pretty enough white superstar guard. One who looks like the "cute little white girls" that describes most of the soccer USWNT that's been able to achieve much higher popularity than any version of women's basketball, which is dominated by black players and none of any race who could be described as little... I do think women's sports are in a good place to start taking off more though. It's really only in the coming 5-10 years that the majority of girls will start to come of age with post Title IX grandmothers (as in their grandmothers were allowed to be serious athletes). I don't follow men's or women's basketball much, but in golf for sure the women's tour has gotten much deeper over the past 20 years and only looks to keep going in that direction. I've heard the same about women's basketball. And the patriarchal attitudes that socialized girls out of sports and everyone out of women's sports fandom aren't gone but have def diminished.
