DIVISION - his birthday is in December and he will be 38. 53 is not a bad lifespan at all, everything considered! And seeing that he has been mainlining gear for years now, maybe his body can handle so much? Perhaps the law of diminishing returns would only apply to normal trainers with less experience with hormones? By the way, if I injected 15 grams right now, what would happen?
Matthew,
If you took 15G Testosterone ew, straight off the bat, two things would happen.
You'd get major hormonal fluctuations which would initially cause you to break out in acne most likely and and we would probably see a good amount of aromatization from all that excess testosterone that's flooding your system.
If you are prone to gynomastia, WE WOULD SEE IT SOON.
Hypertension? Quite possible.
..............and yes amidst all that you'd see strength and mass gains, regardless of your workout. You'd grow simply because your body had shifted toward anabolism so far that catabolism was near impossible.
Kovacs lifts:
- 30o incline barbell press, 525 lbs for 8 reps.
- Flat dumbbell press, 300 lbs dumbells for 6 reps.
- Front military press, 440 lbs for 12 reps.
- Lateral raise, 100 lbs dumbells for 10 reps.
- Deadlift, 810 lbs for 3 reps.
- T-bar row, 308 lbs for 10 reps.
- One arm dumbbell row, 300 lbs dumbbells for 6 reps.
- Barbell squat, 880 lbs for 2 reps
- Leg press, 2700 lbs for 12 reps.
No bodybuilder even comes close to Kovacs overrall strengh. Coleman can match him in the squat and deadlift, but that's about it.
As for Ed Coan's challenge...who cares? He's a specialist who trains 24/7 for two lifts: the deadlift and squat. That's it. It's not fair to pit Kovacs against a guy who only does two lifts and then say that Coan is stronger. Could Coan win the "World's Strongest Man" contest? No. Kovacs is the only Human Being who's strengh would allow him to compete with a silverback gorilla. Of course, a silverback is much stronger than Kovacs, but at least the man wouldn't be humiliated like all other Human Beings would.

Listen, Sucknugg.
Read up a page or two and you'll see that someone who's trained in the same gym as Kovacs says he doesn't do freeweight movements. He does machines and hammerstrength for all his major lifts.
That is not the same as the standard: Bench, DL, Squat.
When you rely on machines for your power movements it takes balance and connective tissue strength out of the mix and makes the strength one dimensional.
It's not the same.
No, no. BIG difference, Yates is still walking around looking healthy, fit and like a bber years after retiring on top of the game, and doing well in biz.
Kovacs won shit, and looks like, well...
Yates megadosed, tore a bicep and a tricep and his face looks about ten years older than his age.
Yes, he retired on top, but it's not as if he escaped the ravages of time.
Kovacs was a media creation of MuscleTech.
If he was smart he'd have gone in to powerlifting and saved himself the humiliation, not to mention listened to someone reasonable in regards to his AAS/GH/IGF-1/Insulin use....
Now he's ruined his body......health.
Nobody on the elite level just retires without having some type of scars from the drug use.
Some just have less damage than others.....
