[@thegreatachilless1007]

Guy knows more about strength science then most anyone in the world. Worked with and trained under some of the best trainers of the past 20 years and was know to be one of the most ferocious lifters in the history of the sport. Would also laugh about hiring Arnold Schwarzenegger to be your Strength coach? You guys are living in a fantasy land. You still don't understand. Steroids don't turn you into a freak athlete they only allow you to compound what is already there and mean nothing without an absolute insane work ethic. Plenty of guys are on gear and look like shit. And if you honestly don't think almost every other player in the NFL is on something - like I said you're living in a fantasyland. I've never touched the stuff and wouldn't even consider even TRT until I was far older but of actually think the thing that made Cush so good was steroids you're a fool. To quote Nate Diaz - "Everybody is on steroids."

I know your videos covers sports stories but its your values of not judging others and allowing them a second chance that really touches my heart.I go to treatment hospitals to to try and give encouragement to others that they might overcome their struggles also. I was in that world for almost 50 years. I would really enjoy speaking with you one day I think it would do my heart good. Thank you for your hard work and honesty and most of all for understanding that there is good in all. sometimes they just need a second chance.

Met Cush once. Really nice, and humble guy. Told him I was at Texas nat’l chip game rooting for the Horns, but that I was rooting for him as a pro. We had a laugh. He was surprisingly cool about it. He was scary HUGE though, and I’m a pretty big ex-football dude myself. The pressures of expectations and wanting to recover from injuries probably got to him. He’s not the only one. I played my college ball in FL, and a lot of guys who grew up near Ray, say the same stuff about him.

Another great video from FlemLo Raps. I developed tennis elbow when I was 40 and my doctor put me on a three week steroid routine to heal the injury. For those three weeks I felt like I was 25 again. I had a lot more energy, the pain in my elbow went away in a week, I was less worn out after cardio and my wife was having to fend me off with a pitchfork. And that was just three weeks. As much as I hate PED's in sports, when the roids ran out I understood how easy it is for athletes to get hooked on them.

Get on TRT. Nothing wrong with getting your test levels up. I just turned 40 myself and looking to get a blood analysis done. If I can hold off a little longer I will. But I know my levels are getting low.

[@spookinoff]

Bro, it was placebo effect. The type of steroids you received were anti-inflammatory corticosteroids (probably cortisone). They have absolutely zero muscle-building, strength/energy-enhancing properties. In fact, there's some evidence that they might cause a slight decrease in muscle mass and connective tissue strength.

@@Lovegainers5 Give it a goddamn rest. The NFL didn't even kick people out for steroid use until 1990. Even today, 1 in 10 players confidentially report anabolic steroid use, and others probably use similar compounds, and it's probably underreported. There's dozens of steroid-using players in the hall. Steroids don't turn a 5'4" kid with osteoporosis into Barry Sanders, but they sure do help good player become better, at the cost of your health.

The backstory behind the Cushing headbutt stemmed from those two playing against each other in college. Shawn Lauvao was an offensive lineman at ASU and saw Cushing on the other side of the field every time they played against each other. So the animosity was built up from there and continued when they were in the league.

I think the fact that he is headbutting players with helmets on with his bare head is an indicator of roid rage.

[@UpsideDownGaming97]

Roid rage is a myth

[@travisjazzbo3490]

@@UpsideDownGaming97 Actually, I don't think so. It is kind of like drinking alcohol... For some, they are a happy drunk... for others, they turn into real SOBs... It enhances something that is lurking just beneath...

[@scottmartin7042]

@@travisjazzbo3490 you basically just said that roid rage is a myth. Roid rage is the idea that solely using steroids of any kind just will turn an angel into a demon. If its something thats already lurking around inside someone its gonna come out eventually, it's just alcohol will expedite the process. Its actually probably way worse for alcohol. Cushing is just an asshole. The roids just make him a next level asshole. But even without them he would still be a dickhead. The one thing that I'd say is a more obvious symptom of roid abuse is the constant tendon and cartilage injuries.

I trained with the same trainer as Cushing, a guy named Joe DeFranco (who trains many pro athletes). I have no idea on the steroids rumor but can say he had a world class training program with a world class trainer since he was in high school. That most definitely contributed to his strength, speed, and power. Nobody gets to his level without hard work and world class people around, steroids or not.

[@jamesmorton5017]

This is a lie. Steroids is like challenging another to a fight and pulling out brass knuckles. When the other dude says "hey you used brass knuckles " the cheater says " you could have used them also".

[@Dream100-Official]

@@jamesmorton5017 you obviously don’t know how steroids work. You don’t just instantly grow muscle, get strong, and become a world-class athlete from a needle. It requires a ton of hard work and intelligent, disciplined training. All steroids do is help you recover more quickly. I would suggest doing some basic research before making such ignorant remarks.

Look at the picture on the left at 6:55. He has a wild amount of gyno, plus it's not difficult to beat the NFL ped drug test. He was on stupid amounts of gear and was using HCG to help estradiol levels. Also the anger on game days might be from a 19-nor like cheque drops because that compound is in and out of your system so quickly. He's a great player and he was successful in a league full on other guys on gear, there shouldn't be a cloud over his legacy.

Cushing being juiced out of his mind was sort of an open secret. He was like an infinitely less bad ass version of Bill Romanowski. Even back in his playing days me and friends would call Brian Cushing, Brian Juicing.

You think Romanowski was that much better?

Honestly I don't care about NFL players being juiced. Fine by me.

@@Bidens_Diaper Then they need to make a rule that allows everyone to juice, someone who juices Vs someone who is clean, juice will always win if they have the same skills

[@chrisp2272]

The massive hole in your logic is that a lot of other players aren’t on something. Cushing was probably an angry violent guy without steroids. He probably only took a closely monitored, regular amount of steroids.

[@wolf7el356]

This facts. Brian Cushing was always known as a juicer, even when he was at USC there were tons of rumors of him being on steroids.

While PEDs may have contribute alot of his success on the field, it really overshadowed his football intelligence. He plays like a maniac but he is an incredibly intelligent football player. Since Brian Cushing, no Texans linebacker has ever been able to direct the defense on the same level as Brian Cushing have.

@Blia Yang I agree. I personally think the NFL covers up a lot of bad shit because it benefits them. Some of these players do things normal healthy males just can’t do! How?! You get what I’m saying? I think it’s still in the NFL. INJURIES ARE SO BAD NOWADAYS. I THINK ITS FROM ROIDS AND PEDS.
