Ten years ago he was a supernova— the biggest story in the muscle world. Like Mamdouh Elssbiay today, Fedorov was the young, foreign behemoth who was going to shake up bodybuilding’s top rankings. What’s more, the Russian’s story seemed dreamed up by a Hollywood screenwriter. He trained in a cemetery! The script was destined for a grave ending when he fell as quickly as he rose. But now, at 36, Fedorov is slated to return to the pro stage in his hometown of St. Petersburg, Russia. As he prepares, we look back at one of the most incredible tales in the history of bodybuilding.

Why do these Russian and European guys have that bronze/gold look on stage, whereas the US competitors often look like giant carrots?

You will recall that he was an amateur in that pic. I think that's how he got his pro card. There used to (and may still) be a rule where amateurs could enter pro shows and, if they placed top 10, they could turn pro. I know they did that with the women's side.

Federov defeated several pros who'd placed top 10 at the 2003 Olympia. That's impressive, no matter how you slice it.

Fedorov blew a prime Coleman away in some poses, that's impressive. The pec tear was his death pretty much.

I'm not disagreeing with that. People were utterly stunned as to why he looked so awful in 2005, after his excellent condition in 2003 and 2004.

Although, I do recall King Kamali joking that (with regards to the 2004 Russian Grand Prix, which qualified Federov for the 2005 Olympia), if he could have trained his non-lifting uncle from Iran for a year, his uncle would have placed 2nd to Ronnie at that show.

Ha! I remember sitting down and reading that article in MD, they were trying to build the next big rival to Coleman because Cutler wasn't hacking it.  If only his chest stayed intact I think he may have been able to beat Ronnie.

Nordic Fitness Expo & K.P. Ourama:

Quote
Russian superstar Alexander Fedorov will make his comeback on Fitness House Grand Prix in Moscow, Russia? Александр Фёдоров Alex Fedorov was a sensation in 2003 when he compete agaist Ronnie Coleman and Jay Cutler. Unfortunately Coleman was at his best and Cutler was good enough to keep the Russian behind. Many forgot how great Fedorov was when he won the European Super Heavy Weight Title. A perfect amateur athlete!
I was judging in Moscow and my opinion is that his third place was well deserved, because his pec tear and besides, there were no human being in this Galaxy who could have beaten Ronnie.
If Fedorov competes and if he is near at this best shape he could get an easy ticket to 2015 Mr. Olympia, but then in Vegas he will be tested how good he really is. Of course, if he dares, he can come to Nordic Pro and show everybody that he is back because we have the top guys in the line up. The invitation has given and now it's Alex Fedorov's turn to accept my challenge!

Too bad he tore his pecs, he would have been challenging for Mr. O.

Bullshit he would! I don't see why MD and flex magazine tried to say this guy could give ronnie or jay a run for their money. all bullshit. even if that pec never tore his chest was shit.
This was just some guy the magazines wanted to hype up for sales! This guy would not of done shit! federov has decent legs but to compare him to Big Ron or jay is a joke. No way this guy would of done any damage even if the pec was 100%. He should take up Texas hold em.

i worked out next to alex for a month or so in 95-6 n i do agree he still had some flaws to bring up if he was gonna knock ronnie off back then,lower body he was better than ronnie,quads/hammies/calves no question. upper body ronnie had him beat in pretty much every area except forearms n maybe,i said maybe TRIS. BACK ronnie crushed him,chest same thing,bis same thing,delts u can make an argument i guess tho. if alex wouldve had yates type back n had some more chest thickness it woulda been more interesting, but as far as sheer size alex was a monster, when he got done training legs n stripped down n starting posing them for everyone in gym who was interested,it was a sight to see, his arms where freaky also,forearms looked like popeyes,really good natured guy,really cool to everyone

Looks just like kevin levrone, dude has found nothing better to do with his life so he s back to injecting copious amounts of drugs that will shorten his lifespan. Bodybuilding is a mental illness. Its a self destructive, extremistic endeavour which has nothing to do with health and longetivity.

The thing is that people have different goals in life; there's no default.
No need to judge about others, just make the best possible choices for yourself.

every thing you said counts for very little on stage, paco has the best body parts in the world, his arms give Heath a run for his money and he has freaky ''everything'' but when you put it all together on stage he looks like a bunch of bodyparts thrown together in a blender, not made for bodybuilding. Alex has a big frame, big joints, big bones, hence no flare in his bellies and in his sweeps, loses the compact look the second he takes off his clothes.

In all fairness, in those pics Fedrove is what 24 yo in those pics.Competing against guys 10 years older.Meaning traning 10 years longer.Plus 90% of bodybuilders dont hit there true prime until there early to mid 30's.I know this to be true.Look at all the Mr Olympias, all of them were around 31 -37 years of age.I didnt hit my peak until 32-37.So for a guy 10-12 years younger, he held his own.If he would of kept going he could possible beat Jay and Ronnie, who knows?A muscle is like a sword the more you work it the sharper and more detailed it gets

I think that most pro's get worse as they get older. They are usually at their best early in their careers. Very few improve with time. Injuries accumulate. Receptors shut down.

the sheer amount of veterinary drugs he -and others- are on must be staggering. This will leave a mark. Dead by 50.

My god you are an insecure lil fella. EVERY post from you is how "man them doggone steroid users are losers man. Why - if I did HALF the drugs they do I would have muscle too man. I don't WANT to be muscular man that's why I don't. I may look sad to the opposite sex and sure I definitely do not give a woman a feeling of security, but I ain't no steroid loser man"

Jealousy is 100% a feminine trait. A true man can never be jealous. Just because you are a small man doesn't mean you have to be weak. The thing is that in 2014 you don't have to take illegal things in order to put on a good bit of size. You probably don't train and eat properly either. The thing is that you have to focus on yourself and the thing you want to improve - and not others. You cannot bring others down to your level - you need to rise to where you want to be.
