Take away the drugs and you're left with what...A regular guy, that's what.
He’s a particularly strong fellow made superhuman with drugs and hormones. He’s what I refer to as a “super responder”.
He’s hit the right formula by fluke, and is willing to partake.
Larry is deep-sixing his health and athletic longevity, though. The (young) man hasn’t earned the right to move what he moves. His structural integrity is being hugely compromised.
It’s what happened to Coleman, largely.
Larry is not built like a naturally-sturdy Viking type.
Having said all this, he’s really something.
But it’s true. Without the gear, he’d be a 400-odd presser and high fives squatter. Deads perhaps in the low-to-mid six range. Still awesome, but WAY less than where he’s now performing.
