Gordon Ryan candidly shared insights into his health journey, highlighting the impact of PEDs and emphasizing the essence of developing “real muscles ” recently.
Battling recent health issues, including a severe streptococcal infection affecting his throat and stomach, the American athlete opened up to his fans about his current state and offered a thought-provoking perspective on ster*id use.
Gordon Ryan has never denied using ster*ds and took the opportunity to challenge the perception that anabolic agents alone significantly alter an athlete’s body mass. Hindered by health concerns, Ryan disclosed a nearly 10kg (22 lbs) weight loss due to the enforced rest he faced in recent months.
But Ryan’s physique stunned everyone when he surfaced in a recent vlog. A noticably slimmer Ryan raised eyebrows. But Ryan’s physique stunned everyone when he surfaced in a recent vlog. A noticeably slimmer Ryan raised eyebrows.
Despite what looks like a massive transformation, Ryan recently disuaded fans from thinking his weight varies greatly.

The reply from “@gordonlovesjjujitsu” says:
“@sambagger no, but I am tiny though ???? hahs I haven’t really been able to eat much at all like 3 months. I’ve lost 25 lbs. Usually when I’m on cycle I’m 225-235. When I’m off cycle I’m 225. When my stomach gets bad and I can’t really eat I drop under 215”
It’s likely Ryan is currently experiencing those issues. A while ago, Danaher was asked about Ryan’s health. Danaher revealed, “The sad news, of course, is that Gordon’s going through a health crisis right now and is very, very sick. So we miss him immensely in the training room, obviously.”
Considering Yuri Simoes has recently undergone a shoulder surgery, Ryan still has a decent chance to compete and win against him at ADCC 2024.
