Ogus & Helms Q&A's

[greekmanman]

Still coaching for sure, and when the time comes put in an application and when we do the consult call mention you're interested in working with me. Obviously will be based on which of the four of us have openings in our rosters but good chance I may
And you know to be honest, I am less busy working on my education now than I was in the states. In the states I was doing my masters, 3dmj, and teaching 30 hours a week at Bryan College and doing a wee bit of personal training. With me fleeing the country, now I'm just doing 3dmj and grad school.

well I wasn't sure who you were asking, as I don't know who Erik is
Not but seriously definitely planning on getting over to Australia at some point, hell it'd be waste not to while im in this hemisphere for 4 years. So far loving the land and the people

Ausome. sounds good sir!

[Lvisaa2]

What made you decide to choose NZ to continue your education? I'm looking at all my grad school options now and I'm still trying to decide on where'd be best.

Everything to do with AUT and their Strength and Conditioning department (and honestly whole sport recreation postgrad department) and the people involved there. Total freedom to do what I want in terms of Thesis, extremely supportive people, very progressive school and extremely applied and practice based. The lab is married to the national training center, so basically funding exists and is there to enhance high performance sport. Most of the grad students are not only former or current athletes, but also strength and conditioning coaches, sometimes at the highest level, AND working on their grad work. So the applicability of the studies is very interesting. People have done their thesis on accomodating resistance (bands, chains, with resistance training), ACL injury prevention in Rugby players, Strongman training, periodization plans with equal volume and different intensities in weight lifters, etc etc etc.
So that really appealed to me, but the people are just so genuine, giving and focus on developing students in a global way; professionally, personally, academically.
Plus, the JSCR and SCR is FILLED with great studies coming out of AUT. I honestly thing it's probably one of the leading labs/schools in the world certainly for strength and conditioning and possibly for applied exercise science.

[Ka0s]

is there a Q&A where natural bodybuilder Eric Helms discusses the dosage/duration of his superdrol cycles
I would like to see that one

[JasonDB]

From what I have seen thus far I expect Eric to make some waves in the industry after he finished his PhD. I look forward to seeing it.

Come on now Ka0s just because to our trained eyes we can look at 1/3rd of the natural pros on stage and figure out specificially what compounds they use (some things you cannot hide sorry thems the breaks and some of them use drugs that produce a certain look that cannot be replicated by any other means), doesn't mean there are not legit natties up there. I tend to be of the opinion that it is about half and half. Probably 50% of the natty pros are legit natty, half are just doing what every other athlete does and pass a test (it isn't that hard). Although we could debate this in circles forever and never come to a consensus.

I see no reason to think Eric isn't natty.

OK except he actually admitted to using superdrol in 06-07

[JasonDB]

OK except he actually admitted to using ****** in 06-07

Actually did a google search... 2005, he has a thread about it on BB.com.

Eric... you don't like your lipid profile or liver? You're doing it wrong, it goes in your butt not in your mouth.

[Ka0s]

naw, no one cares anymore. we know he trained natty for years looked like chit, jumped on gear and still looks like chit.

[JasonDB]

I think 2005 PH's were considered natty still and allowed in natty shows, but I could be wrong. As I learned in the nut misc originally about the fact that they were no longer considered natty (srs), any of you guys know when they started banning them in natty shows?

[Ka0s]

SD isn't a PH it requires no conversion
it is an active steroid and an extremely strong one at that

[greekmanman]

naw, no one cares anymore. we know he trained natty for years looked like chit, jumped on gear and still looks like chit.

just reread this. didn't seem clear enough. I was referring to Kaos, not eric. lol

refers to both tbqh, why u wanna keep taking shots at my physique tho

[JasonDB]

<~~~ Has never seen Ka0s's lifts or physique so can't comment or make judgements positive or negative.

I don't see why the gear part would be that big a deal, 70% of users don't even look like they lift. So assuming someone is going to be big, strong, or lean as a result is silly.

There actually is since it gets brought up every 6 months lol
or rather there is a post I made where I linked like 15 different times over the past 5 years where I talked about my past SD usage openly and in the context of how it has effected me while competing in drug tested feds

just reread this. didn't seem clear enough. I was referring to Kaos, not eric. lol

LOL, at first I was like...dayum that's cold

but yeah, before I was seriously considering competing I did a handful of cycles of PH/PS in 05-06. Not really something I hide, something I hid, or whatever. Decided in late 06 after attending a INBF show as a spectator that that was something inspirational to me that I wanted to do, and stopped taking hormonal stuff. Then in 07 I contacted the orgs to see where I was eligible to compete so I wouldn't break any rules, competed where i was eligible in 07, then again in 09, which included more orgs as the 2 year PH/PS period passed for the INBF, then again in 11. Not really a unique story, probably a good third of natural competitors have taken ph/ps or used to be full blown steriod users in the past. I've talked to many of them at shows.
Decided they didn't want to use drugs, for whatever reason, and then wanted to keep competing. I really don't get the hullabaloo
