Yea if you take steroids you can still work out more, be less fatigue the next day, take shorter rests, etc. Obviously you have to already have good hand-eye coordination & reflexes to play the game, but having that added muscle growth in the shoulders & legs can give you an advantage over others. As someone already mentioned, if you can hold ah eavier bat and swing it at the same speed, you have an unfair advantage.

Just a note: MLB tests still don’t cover all known performance enhancers.

Also certain roids do improve quickness and even eye vision. This is why athletes stack PEDs together when they take them. Maximizes benefits/reduces risk.

Not surprised by this with his numbers improving drastically so quickly like others have stated. Good to see he is clean as far as we know.

Well I know it can improve quickness, but I didn't know about eye vision. Where did you see that?

HGH has been proven to improve eye vision to some degree, as low as 5% and as high as 15%. Test has shown some cases as well.

Roids improve reflexes, strength, hand-eye coordination, and speed all together make a much better baseball player.

yea but I'm asking where you saw that information. I'm very curious about it, myself.

that doesn't really mask it. Read this about it:

What RC (and other similar detox drinks) do is simple dilution. The drink itself is an herbal blend designed to make your piss appear normal, even though it's completely flooded with water.

When you drink tons of water, it messes with certain chemicle levels they test for in your piss (Creatine and others)... This lets the lab know if you're diluting or not... When you drink a "detox" drink, it adds these chemicles back to your body in the proper proportions so the test doesn't come back as "diluted"...
Not sure how true that is but it sounds about right.

haha. Didn't know. It's hard to tell when you're goofing off or being serious.

I did a report on it in college, I've just always remembered since I'm a sports nut/lifting junkie/occasional user. But if you google it I'm sure a bunch of steroids info sites will confirm.

My best friend plays baseball and I play a little as well, we started around the same time (November 09) and he increased his power only by changing his mechanics. He's not hitting 400 ft HRs or anything, but he's hitting the ball further than before.

Yeah, it's more about generating torque/ power with your hips and wrists. A lot of players swing with just their arms.

Yup, I have and do (not cycling currently, but will for summer). I lost a scholarship because of it in fact. Pretty dumb on my end, but it is what it is. When you've got pressure on you to perform you make stupid mistakes I guess.

I got this info from Anabolic Steroids Medical Textbook or something of that nature. Among some others, but mostly compiled my stuff from medical research annotation.

As for 100%, I guess it's hard because there really is no control to study. Everyone's genes and bodies are different so they all react to steroids in different ways. Some effects are the same, but mostly you'll never have two cases that are the exact same.

Well, I guess saying "100%" was a bad way to put it. I meant more along the lines of not seeing it definitively.

Like I never read any sources that dispute it's effect on specific muscles in the body, but I've also never seen in those sources anything that backs up the possibility that HGH and Steroids can affect eyesight or reflexes.

Maybe I'll look into it more tonight.
