I never really noticed it until these olympics, but these guys aren't just lean... they're actually pretty big, when I was watching the Rings event, i was very impressed... their legs didn't look tiny, albeit definitely smaller proportion to their shoulders and arms...

you think they cycle steroids?

with the size of their arms and shoulders, and their incredible strength, I would have to say they use some anabolics.

one of the many reasons why having a lower than average bodyfat makes a person appear to be bigger than they really are. the guys are short 5'3-5'6 a and a lot of the female gymnists are like 4'9...

Big? Specify some names. Most are 140-160Lbs.

I'm trying to find some pics of this dude i saw on rings last week... his arms were seriously big, but after looking through some galleries to find pics of him, I've noticed that most aren't big by body building standards, but a few of them are a pretty good size, at least for their height...

You know what country he is for?

train 24/7 for the entirety of your life and you would probably have a good looking physique too,
i wonder how many pullups one of those guys could do?

man i was wondering the same thing. the romainian guy was built huge. i was like damn i want that figure

how would they use anabolics? they do crazy screens for all that stuff. youre not even allowed to use certain kinds of painkillers let alone steroids

not just gymansts bro...and yes they usually get away with it.

Can I just have the body of the female track runners? The one's that do the 100 M hurdles or sprints?

Not sure if we are thinking of the same girl, probably... I can't keep track of their names but I was watching the hurdles the night before last and there was one chick with a wicked little physique on her, wicked abs and awesome shoulders... I've started watching more since then just to check out the various physiques from various events.

if you were an olympic athlete on anabolics, how would you get away with it? they obviously test, and some do get caught.. how do the ones that dont get caught get around a positive test?

Anabolics arent in your system for ever.. Only a few months tops I think. There is 4yrs between Olympics, thinkaboutit

My question should have been phrased more along the lines of:

How long do anabolics stay in your system? the answer is somewhere inbetween 1 second and forever, or more likely than not, much less than 4 years.

So another question comes to mind, if it's easy enough to just get off the juice before you compete, how are athletes stupid enough to get caught? My only guess is you'd have to misjudge how long it's in your system...

designer steroids. masking agents. take it and hope and pray that it has cleared your system before you take the test.

as far as their size they have tiny bone structures, they're short and lean, also they do not train their legs. so if you just look at the upper bodies they are quite impressive in size, especially arms and shoulders.

that italian dude is the guy i was watching... and if you could see the routine, you would agree his shoulders and biceps look to be very large, of course this is in proportion to the rest of his body, I didn't see him up on stage in a speedo doing multiple poses, just noticing he was very strong and looked to be ripped...

Premier, did you date a male gymnasts at one time and he screw you over? you seem a bit sensitive... no one said they were fuckin huge... my first post said, "strong, built, and lean"

To add to this, smaller joints give the perception of larger muscles, especially in the arms. A buddy of mine has arms that look bigger than mine, but whip out a tape and I have 1.5" on him.

Its the same with midgets they look thick, but they are in reality still small.
