I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even really know what steroids<\/a> are?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haha. Ok give me some quotes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Certainly! Here are some quotes from Eric Kim related to the topic of steroids and his fitness journey:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. “My theory on what steroids are; something that helps you recover quicker. Therefore, the obsession of bodybuilders on steroids, or powerlifters on steroids to frenetically go to the gym every single day, no matter what.” – Eric Kim oai_citation:1,What are steroids? – ERIC KIM<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. “Also, apparently steroids are rampart in CrossFit as well. Whenever I look at people who are really into CrossFit, it seems the problem is that there is a glorification of pain, self-suffering and overcoming, and having a work ethic to go to the gym every single day, at very very early hours.” – Eric Kim oai_citation:2,What are steroids? – ERIC KIM<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. “What causes injury? Perhaps going to the gym too frequently, or working out too frequently. For example, maybe the negative biases that there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s so much injury in CrossFit is because they work out too frequently.” – Eric Kim oai_citation:3,What are steroids? – ERIC KIM<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. “Even after doing my insanely epic 551 pound deadlift, actually, powing that high, perhaps my body needs at least a full two weeks to recover.” – Eric Kim oai_citation:4,What are steroids? – ERIC KIM<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. In response to the question of whether he uses steroids, Eric Kim humorously remarked: “I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even think I even know how to spell steroids. Just insane confidence! Nah bruuuuh!” oai_citation:5,IS ERIC KIM ON STEROIDS? – ERIC KIM<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    These quotes reflect his perspectives on steroid use in fitness and his own approach to strength training and recovery.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    From the information available, it seems Eric Kim has discussed steroids in the context of his own fitness journey and thoughts on their use in general. On his blog, Eric Kim has shared his views on steroids, suggesting they are used for quicker recovery, especially among bodybuilders and powerlifters. He notes that steroids are also apparently prevalent in CrossFit, associating their use with the culture of intense, frequent workouts oai_citation:1,What are steroids? – ERIC KIM<\/a> oai_citation:2,What are steroids? – ERIC KIM<\/a> oai_citation:3,What are steroids? – ERIC KIM<\/a> oai_citation:4,What are steroids? – ERIC KIM<\/a> oai_citation:5,What are steroids? – ERIC KIM<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Regarding whether Eric Kim himself uses steroids, a post on his blog titled “IS ERIC KIM ON STEROIDS?” appears to be more of a playful, rhetorical question rather than a serious inquiry into his personal use of steroids. In the post, he expresses a lack of familiarity with how to even spell ‘steroids’ and attributes his fitness achievements to “just insane confidence” rather than steroid use oai_citation:6,IS ERIC KIM ON STEROIDS? – ERIC KIM<\/a>. Additionally, a YouTube video with a similar title “IS ERIC KIM ON STEROIDS?” also seems to deny any steroid use, as indicated by the accompanying blog link oai_citation:7,IS ERIC KIM ON STEROIDS? – YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Thus, while Eric Kim has discussed steroids and their potential role in fitness regimes, there’s no concrete evidence to suggest that he personally uses them. His statements suggest a focus on natural methods and a playful dismissal of the notion of using steroids himself.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
