I know a guy who went to the low T clinic and got prescribed a bunch of steroids. He is a gym rat and got freakishly huge after going on the low T regimen. Then he blew out his knees lifting and had to have a double knee replacement.
Ryan must also be on some sort of therapy because of his health issues. I wonder what will be the result of years of high mileage followed immediately by years of power lifting will be on his joints.
Haters gonna hate.

@hot_headz_headbandz So with you on this. I know Lance is a controversial figure in sports but aren’t we called to love others how the Father loves them? I don’t believe God stopped loving Lance when he started using PEDs.

If he gets motivated by seeing and showing himself shirtless, good for him, I guess, but geez.

I wouldn't sat he's fat at all. He's just looking pretty huge, he's probably going to start winning some bodybuilding or power lifting contests or something. I guess he's just transferred his drive and intensity from training as a world class distance runner to lifting weights.
Not even close. Kudos to him for coming pretty far in a short time, but he's just now closing in on average gym bro. He's kinda the lifting equivalent of a 26 minute 5k guy - pretty decent for someone new to the sport who doesn't naturally have the talent for it, but nowhere near being competitive on any level. I lift more than he does. I'm a long time lifter, but nothing special.
I've always liked Ryan. I used to follow him on social media, but he's so into the lifting and so very very impressed with himself that it's hard to take and I stopped following him. I still follow Sara.
Plus, he has all but said outright that he's on T therapy. That's fine, it's a legit medical treatment, but then to be so boastful about your lifting and muscle progress is a bit distasteful.
btw, I have no problem with Ryan going on the podcast. You don't have to defend or endorse Lance to go on his podcast and plug your book. Lance is good at podcasting. I feel a bit dirty listening, but his podcast with Alex Honnold was very good as were his tdf stage wrap-ups.
Ryan's sharing something he's excited about.
You're gossiping.

Well...what do you expect? Armstrong was on a lot of dope for a lot of years. This is what a career in doping will do to you physiologically. It's no free ride - you pay the piper later. He easily looks 10 - 12 years older. ?
Lance looks like he has b1tch tits.
Also, not going to read Ryan's book now.
I've always admired the Halls despite their bible thumping both for their running and adoption
But this takes them down a whole bunch of notches in my book.
Lance is a confessed and convicted yet unrepentant doper, a very very bad associate to have.
Keep in mind he ran a doping ring, flying out athletes on private jets to secret labs, only way they got caught was someone almost died from a bad transfusion when they screwed up and used another person's blood.
He's never apologized and he's ruined lives, why would anyone associate with him.

Vino had another persons blood in him and he lit up the TT stage despite looking like hamburger.
Does the wrong blood really almost kill you?
Dear God, I hope Ryan didn’t swallow Sarah in an attempt to get enough protein in for the day. Sarah hasn’t posted on twitter lately. I hope she is okay!

“His religion”? Christianity?
You do realize that about 75% of Americans self-identify as Christians. Down from 85% in the 90s.

He’s a strange guy. Seems like a good guy, but strange.
You're a sharp one, nothing gets past you does it?
This is a fascinating thread. Here's a hypothetical -- let's say that Ryan got his testosterone situation under control, and it was all legal, and decided he'd had it with weight lifting and wanted to make a comeback at marathoning.
And let's say he decided to run Chicago in October, and start training today.
How fast could he get?
What's the over/under on 2:15?
He looks huge for someone that was clinically diagnosed with low T-levels. Is AlSal rubbing the Tboost on him now?
