"The Experiment"

Here's some video of his training and a bit were he spoke about it. In addition, I've seen photos of heavy band training(pulls and such) and some moderately heavy traditional lifting. I'm sure lifting played a role atleast in the early years, as it was always part of their multi - year plans, although it moved into more of a sports specific approach once they reached a certain level.

"About my trainings
I train myself 6 times a week. Usually on Mondays my mornings begin from running. I run in the pine forest in the suburb of Novosibirsk. My usual morning training goes on for an hour or an hour and ten minutes. The distance is a little more than 10 km. My evening trainings on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday constitute a work on a mat with sparring-partners. Wednesday is the day free, but we, wrestlers, have a very specific rest. We play wrestling basketball. It looks like American football, but we don’t use protective ammunition and throw a ball to a basket to get points. On Saturdays we play football (soccer). This is my usual regime. Trainings become more intensive during period of preparation to Russian, European and World championships and Olympic Games.
All in all, my wrestling trainings take 8-10 hours a week and more. However, everything depends on my condition and an opinion of my trainer Victor Kuznetzov who determines a plan of trainings and loads.
As I mentioned, running is a very important component of my exercises and trainings. Crosses help me to do my shape better. Special effect can be reached during series of trainings at the mountain sports bases. Good breathing is the component of a success for any athlete. Experienced wrestlers know that oxygen starvation can be a wrestler’s weak spot. This sense is very unpleasant.
I visit an athletic hall regularly. The base of my trainings is the method of Victor Kuznetzov. Such exercises as a press in horizontal position, exercises with dumb-bells for biceps and triceps are usual types of a physical load. It’s very important for Greco-Roman wrestling to choose a right weight of apparatus. Usually a load is chosen to allow sportsman to do 2 or 3 ‘approaches” with the maximal number of reiterations (12-15 times) each. And a weight of the final “approach” is more to be able to do 8-10 reiterations rightly.
I have no a diet because I never had extra-weight problems. In spite of it I have no the habit to overeat. I like tasty meal. I go to small restaurants and cafes to try national cooking of the country where I am. However, to me the Russian cooking is the most acceptable one. I prefer natural food. I change my regime of eating during Orthodox fasts. But it is not a reason for somebody’s anxiety. I have the wonderful book about feeding during fasts. This book contains about thousand of recipes of the tasty and healthy-giving dishes.
Except Greco-Roman wrestling I attended to skiing, basketball and heavy athletics. My trainer Victor Kuznetzov opened the world of wrestling for me. We have been working together for 19 years." .

Any one have the pic of Drago getting PED injections?
-
because of his awkward big frame he looked almost like a welterweight by himself, no wonder he was superior at the 290 lbs super heavyweight class.
If he added any more muscle the cut would be pretty difficult.

He carried
a fridge Jay Cutler up the stairs once. But only once, not more than that.
