A-rod

i was watching sportscenter this morning and if you follow sports at all, you've probably heard about Alex Rodriguez and all the stories that surround him and steriod usage.

well, this morning one of their arguments of his usage is the idea that he put on 20-25 pound between his sophomore and junior year of High school. i felt bad for the guy because of this allegation. His growth could have been from his body finally taking to lifting weights or just developing.

i remember the Christmas of my sophomore year i freaked out because i jumped from around 160 to around 180lbs in a 6 month window. the only reason i remember is because i had a talk with my mom and she assured me that it was okay and that the weight gain was because i started lifting weights and it was probably mostly muscle. And i can honestly say that i've never taken anything (i know that statement falls null and void when it relates to HGH).

does that mean that A-rod has never taken anything? no, he probably has. But i just felt bad for the guy when they think he took it during high school and so early in his career. '

thats all. GO CUBS!!!

That's what happened to me between sophomore and junior year of high school, too. I jumped from a massive 130lbs to a gargantuan 135 and freaked out. I guess I'm just glad I'm not the only one!
