  • Royce Gracie on steroid

    Why ruin a great reputation at his age.

    interview quote www.fightingmaster.com

    Gus: A lot of young athletes are very impressed by NHB events. Some of them may dream to become competitors. What is your advice to them?

    Royce: Train hard but do not take steroids.

    Gus: Tell us about your future plans.

    Royce: Well right now I am talking to Pride about a fight, and teaching seminars all over the world. In the next 6 months, I will be in over 8 countries around the world and in 14 states here in America . So I plan on doing what I love and teach JJ to everyone who wants to learn.

    Gus: Thank you very much! Our site will always be here to help you promote your work.

    Royce: Thank you too!

      My point is he has always spoken out about juicing, and preached technique over strength. Now he looks like a hypocrite.

      If this is true it a shame that some one you admire end up doing something shameful like that. Too bad.

        Excessive,

        Yeh your missing something,

        I assume you are aware that the California state commission have found traces of Steroids in Royces urine tests following Sakaraba fight?

            My guess is that he took Nor-19 otc, and that can give a false + for Nandrolone. In any case, I think he should retire and focus on teaching.
            IMHO Liddell and Royce would have been better off with power rack drills and heavy single lifts than with the sort of Eastern European regimens they use for strength training, but that is just my bias. Royce could get strong enuff with correct weigth training, and nor-19 is not relevant.

                Agreed, I've always heard in wrestling, boxing, muay thai, jiu-jitsu, and mma that lifting heavy for low reps is a bad idea. I've found personally, the opposite to be true. I think if your training regime provides for enough calisthenics and endurance training/art specific drills that weight training in powerlifting fashion will edify you as a fighter.

                    I remember a quote by BJ Penn that goes something along the lines of: "Strength is the best equalizer against technique."

                      Wow.... There's a thing called "respect" respecting the guy who brought BJJ to america and had the balls to fight guys twice his size up to four times in one night.. I don't know what you think a badass means, but my defanition of a badass is anyone with the balls to step into a cage and fight, which is probably more then you'll ever do...


                      According to your logic, when should make fun of Ali and say he sucks cause he can't fight top level competition today... It's ridiculous

                        Just because there were traces of steroids in his urine doesn't mean that he was taking them.

                          cleary judging by the amounts discovered in his urine which were recently found to be off the charts, he was using deca. hell it can be detected 18 months after its last injection, and i am assuming that royce used it not only for its strength building capabilities, but more likely because it does wonders for your joints... which i am sure the man was in need of at his age and with his history...

                            one 200mg shot of nandrolone could have caused this... but the point is that it was injected in the first place.
