UFC fighter, Frank Mir, used to be a very large LHW fighting as a HW or a very tiny HW at around 235 lbs looking soft, and he is now a super-heavyweight who is lean at 270 lbs. Since his first fight back with Lesnar in 2008 or 2009, he has packed on some 50 lbs of lean muscle mass. He realized that mass equals power, and that power is so important in combat sports that it allowed an MMA noob like Lesnar to bully an experienced fighter such as himself. The same for Fedor, who almost got beaten by the much larger Brett Rogers and then lost to the gigantic Big Foot Silva, both clearly inferior to himself in skills. Size and power matters. A lot.
Putting on size naturally is very hard. Putting on size when you train for 12 hours a day is almost impossible due to the high level of catabolism. Obviously, Frank Mir is doing a ton of drugs.
But this begs the question: how the hell is he doing drugs in the UFC? Putting on 50 lbs when you train for 12 hours a day would require doses of 2,000+ mg of test a week, plus other anabolics. The thing is that the UFC has the most thorough drug testing of any sporting organizations ever. Love or hate Dana White and the Fertitas, they take drug-testing very seriously. The blood samples are sent to independent laboratories, and the results are overseen by the athletic comissions. That is, Dana cannot manipulate the results to protect his fighters.
I can see beating the test, but you cannot mask the huge doses he is obviously taking. I doubt he takes only 200 mg of Deca or Primo a week. It is impossible to beat the test when you are taking multiple grams a week, which is exactly the reason why the I.F.B.B throwed drug testing out at the 1991 Olympia as the physiques looked like shit in 1990 and they knew they would all be caught if they used sauce in the doses required to be that huge.
So what the hell is going on here? How can a guy balloon from a soft 230 lbs to a lean 270 lbs and not get got in any drug test?
