somethings not right here, the guy is big but his muscular develpoment doesnt even look that impressive, i mean for a guy who is pressing 500lb overhead his triceps dont look all that special, his forearms arent huge, his legs look like a regular fat guys legs...wher did this monster strength come from???

Paul anderson was a fat shit too but you could see he had the biggest most muscular legs ever even through the fat...this guy is pressing absurd amounts of weight but his arms and legs look like nothing special...i dont get it

That's how he appears to look when standing by himself, but put him next to a normal sized person and he would dwarf them in every dimension.

That last pic....was not a healhy weight for him. He got a little to big in the end. I think that was abt. 370lbs...

amazing how you can look like absolute shit and still be one of the strongest dudes in the world.

He wasn't the best. There are stories of his rivals getting poisoned on contest date, and better lifters who didn't get their chance because alexeyev was still in the game.

A superior athlete is one who has above average physical skills (strength, agility, and endurance) and is thus more suited for physical competition.

Athlete is a term thrown around very loosely these days. Ronnie Coleman is an athlete? LOL.

In different sports it means different things.

I think I'm going to be upping the volume of my training even more after seeing this.... $:-\$

More pics of the greatest. Notice...there are no lifting suits or extreme straps. Just a tiny little belt.

Nor are they used in Olympic Lifting today.

True, but some people on this board thinks that monster strength comes from suits and straps

kaz, ed coan, and paul anderson are all better strength athletes than alexxy.

Nonsense. None of them were drug free and none of them competed at the highest level (the olympics). They were great but not as good.

Actually I hate football. There are other Divisioin I sports in college besides football. Basketball, soccer, hockey, etc.

Quaker you don't think I played D I or you don't think D I players are athletes? LOL.

i played D1 football also did track... and compared to other sports i participated in football isnt so athletic... i think the most athletic people in the world are either wrestlers or boxers

I just made an 12 egg omelette (with egg yolks) for dinner and I felt that was quite enough together with the side dishes. I can only imagine how I would feel after eating a 36 egg omelette like The Great One.

i hope the drug free comment was tounge in cheek, its more than well known that all Olympic prospects in Russia or east germany were routinely doped from a very early age,,, and there was no opting out, you did it there way or you didn't do it at all...

That is true, but not for Alexeev. His physique is different. He trained differently and on his own. I believe he was drug free even though many others were not.

How the fuck do you set 80 world records in a sport with 2 events??? Set both records in 40 different countries??? Somebody please es'plain 'at ta me.

Great thought re: greatest athlete, McMannus - deserves its own thread.

There was a third event, the press. Also, all records in total count also...so if he happened to do a world record press, snatch and clean and jerk that would equal 4 new world records.

wasn't there a rumor here that he was a rampant homosexual? he would often hire gypsies to massage his testicles for him.

I played Division I in college. I have some semblance of what it means to be an athlete. If that man is your definition of athletic prowess more power to you.

A water boy is NOT a player. Drugs were NOT part of Alexeevs regime. He ate like a mother fucker and trained heavy all the time. His joints were strong as hell.

I rather have abs and only bench 225 than be the strongest guy in the world and look like a Sasquatch

noworries · « **Reply #49 on:** September 01, 2009, 11:30:48 AM »

There was another RUssian I think around the end of Alexeevs career that was strong as hell but also looked pretty good. Can't remember his name but would know it if I heard it
