Change in Tyson's body post-prison

[McCauley1189]

Yea he might have used steroids after prison. But it probably did him more harm then good. Not as light on his feet to be evasive. Too much muscle draining his stamina. Probably could have been a cruiserweight, pretty amazing what he was able to do being only 5’10” as a heavyweight.

- -Why would he want to be a cruiser when he was a record setting heavy?

Why weren't you a flea?

From what I recall he got very heavy in prison, nearly 300, and had to lose a ton of weight

No, he was blown up when he went in but came out noticeably smaller and leaner. Even from the interviews he did while in prison it's obvious he has lost weight.

He definitely did a course of something when he came out though.

Yea as someone above mentioned, I think he would have admitted to steroid use already. Zero filter. My guess is he actually started weight lifting in prison and the fat he always carried melted off. Happens to me when I deadlift/squat, my belly fat goes away. Obviously not as built as he is though haha

I remember him saying something about 1000 pushups a day.

in his book he did mention doing an insane amount of situps per day he said he sometime bleed from his ass due to doing so many i think in prison he went through a period of insane workouts he requested going to the hole solitary confinement and would workout like a beast in there.

I'm sure he went to the hole plenty and had others bleeding from the ass as well. I'm sure he was a beast at that workout too.

PED testing in the 90s was basically worthless. You could take whatever the hell you wanted inbetween fights and in camp so as long as you passed the scheduled test on fight night, if there was a test even at all.

- -Pretty much the same today regarding modern testing and modern boxing fans, only now BALCO Vic VADA gets to promote VADA and his new brand of PED vitamins and multimillion dollar high tech training facilities guaranteed to pass VADA screening, but only if you have the $$$$$...only in boxing!!!
