Goldberg claims to eat 15,000 calories a day preparing for his match with Brock

[Necrosis]

1. BS on 15,000 kcal.

2. He's 50 and even at 7-10k would be a risk especially combined with the drugs

3. BS on 15,000 kcal. His entire day (if was even to get that high for a day) would be spent on eating, digestion and shitting.

Did you forget what number 1 was during your posting? yet continued with 3?

Do you have an over active thyroid?
If not then your metabolism is pretty much the same as anyone else your height weight and muscle mass.
There are no such things as super fast metabolisms, some people eat less and move more than others, some move less and eat more, its that what makes up body composition.
If Zach Khan can gain on 4000 calories max then anyone can.

If you are eating that much and not getting fat then you have a shit digestive system, your body isnt utilising what goes in and you shit it out before its used or stored as fat.

Im like that, I can shit out food as it went in, mushrooms are a favourite.

what have you eaten today?

Great post.  No one seems to get this.

You can tell when Goldberg is lying.  His mouth moves.

It's pro wrasslin'.  They're all full of themselves, which is to say, full of crap.

Yes my thyroid is slightly over-active but that's not the only determining factor when it comes to energy output.

I do not agree with your statement that everyone's metabolism is the same, that's just so wrong.

Just because Zhack Khan can gain on 4000 kcal does not mean anyone can. I know a guy who eats like a snickers and a pizza per day so maybe 1500 kcal on average per day with about 50g of protein per day at most and he looks great while I could never gain muscle on 1500 kcal.

It could very well be that my digestive system is not very efficient, I've always wondered about this too, to be honest. My shit looks pretty well digested though, I can tell you that

What I ate today ? I did not keep an exact log for today since it's a holiday and I'm just being lazy the whole day eating junk food... on days like this I often reach way more than 5000 kcal but many people doubt me when I tell them what I eat in a single day until they actually see it with their own eyes They think there is no way that I can stay ripped all year round while shoveling down ice cream, cakes, junk food, chocolate... etc. in huge amounts.

so, you have an over active thyroid and not a fast metabolism, glad we cleared that up.
You should seek some treatment for that.

I also knew you wouldn't post what you ate, reason is you totted it up and realised it was nowhere near what you thought.
People who claim 5/6000 cals a day seldom come anywhere near that.

Oh, and the pic you posted as a result of 3000 cals as opposed to 5000 clearly shows that if you were in shape at 3000 then eating 5000 would make you very fat in a few months and eating 3000 cals you would never have held onto that muscle if you have an overactive thyroid that burns off 5000 so easily.

Its not even convenient to eat so much food, most people who work dont have the time to eat all that every single day.

No mistake. I'm calling bullshit twice.

[AbrahamG]

A lot of athletes state a high number of calories to hide from telling people that he will be using steroids

Thank you for enlightening us, stool pusher.

Well an over active thyroid results in a faster metabolism .. so yes I do have a fast metabolism although my thyroid is not the only factor for that.

No need for treatment since my thyroid hormone levels are still considered to be within the "normal" range just at the upper end.

I keep track of everything I eat (except for cheating days where I just eat whatever I want .. which often actually results in less calories than on a regular day) in a logfile and I have been doing this for nearly 10 years and trust me I can count. If you really want me to I can post a few days out of my logfile but it will be in German but you can clearly see that I'm certainly averaging 5000 kcal per day.

I do lose muscle when dieting just like pretty much everyone so of course I can't hold onto everything with less calories but it's not like I'm close to starving on 3000 kcal although I'm still very lean at 5000 kcal. I'm sure that the more calories your body gets the less efficient it becomes.. so even though I'm able to maintain quite a bit of muscle at 3000 kcal or even 2000 kcal does not mean I will get fat at 5000 kcal although I'm sure it would be the case for most people.

It's certainly not convienent to eat that much food and I don't think it's a gift to be honest - when I started working out my biggest problem was to get in enough calories to gain muscle. It would actually be pretty much impossible for me if I would be eating clean food all the time and at least 1500-2000 kcal are from shakes. My friends used to make fun of me since I would never leave the house without like 2 litres of chocolate milk with me.

I know tons of people who claim to eat huge amounts of food and not gaining weight and then when they really count their calories it's like 2500 or sth like that - but trust me I'm not one of those guys.

why didn't you just write down what you eat every day?

If you maintain your size on 3000 then eating 5000 will make you fat, you cant beat the laws of thermodynamics.

Let's face it, wrestlers live in a fictitious wrestling world.

Height is exaggerated by 3-6 inches
Weight is exaggerated by 20-40 lbs
And now food intake is exaggerated.

Yeah, anywhere from 2-8" exaggerations. Weight is unlimited. Bodybuilding exaggerates both as well. No competitor is measured or weighed before a professional competition. Oh well.

[calfzilla]

Getting huge. 

[hench]

Old pic, he's a big fella, shoulder width and traps ridiculous, esp for a 50 yr old.

Getting huge.

they were at the Olympia in 1988.
Most of the larger competitors were around the 220 mark
