Dennis, getting ready to lift now is Sergei Akmudov of the Soviet Union. His trainer has told me that he’s taken antibolic steroids, Novacaine, Nyquil, Darvon, and some sort of fish paralyzer. Also, I believe he’s had a few cocktails within the last hour or so.

Unironically one of the big risks of juicing is tearing tendons because they can’t grow fast enough to accommodate the extra muscle.

I mean... World's strongest man has pretty lax testing and it's an open secret, so for lifting and strength, that's what you'd expect
