Along with the torn pec, he had a very wide waist and he looked like crap (albeit huge and muscular) in a lot of the mandatory poses - front and back double biceps, front and rear lat spread and the abs & thighs. He only looked good from the side. When I said structural problems, I meant like the stuff Paco has - sure, he's got a lot of muscle and will be able to compete in pro contests, but not even a snowball's chance in Hell of winning or placing in the top 3, unless it's a very weak field.

There's no way he could have been Mr Olympia. Art Atwood was just as big and looked better in more poses, but he could never crack the top save for his pro debut contest, cause he was competing against guys who had tiny waists in comparison. Federov is just another guy that belonged to the group comprising guys like Achim Albretch, Art Atwood, Greg Kovacs and others - lots of muscles, freaky and looking good in a couple of poses, but too many flaws to crack the top 3 in the Olympia and Arnold Classic.

Well, I understand what you say completely.
But judging from this pic, his waist is not that bad like Paco or Atwood.
You have any front double bi of this Russian GP?

I've got the MuscleMag with coverage of this 2004 Russian GP and Ronnie kills Federov in the front double bi shot, even his huge legs don't look great in it.

Of course, Ronnie is unbeatable.He is not a humanbeing.
But, I am talking about his beating current Mr.O and rest of top guys.

True. The front double biceps shot is still one of his worst poses though. Quads lack sweep, pec tear throws off symmetry, wide waist, his arms are HUGE but don't have great shape or peak in this pose. Not Mr O material but still a freakish dude in his prime.

Covers of Flex ,2004 October and 2005 June

(Can Ronnie be stopped? )

Serious note ... there are only a few ( and I do mean FEW ) bb's in history that can give Alex a run for his money with that side-triceps pose ... he just OWNS that pose ... thru and thru.

Epic drop from size 68 jacket down to size 38 jacket.

Brutal health look.

Even at his best, he was a mess. Not sure he would do well in G4P. $:-\$

it's safe to assume from this incredible "transformation" that ronnie would shrink as bad as fedorov if he truly, completely stopped juicing.

ALL DRUGS « period.

LOL It's not the unibrow so much. His body just does not look good. bad shape, bad conditioning. It is possible to find one or two pictures where he looks good but they are the exceptions! And that is not good. Remember, G4P BBs operate in a competitive market. Federov is not competitive on the contest stage or in the G4P gutter!

Federov has been sent to Gorky. He disgraced mother Russia by not winning the Olympia...its borscht, stale bread, and vodka!!!

LOL! Good post.

Alex was a freak and he had a couple of signature poses he looked amazing in. But he never had the structure to compete at the top level successfully. Scary how small he's become.

good post bro

this twisting shot is incredible---probably one of the best ever

Insane Alex-pics!

The 2nd and the fourth pic (when he is dwarfing Jay) were amazing.

Now look at him now as he quit using the ESA-Pro.
