Alekseyev was an amazing weightlifter but he was not naturaldespite the drug testing. Soviet athletes (and Americans also) were all juiced to the gills at the time. The testing was a joke.

Testing was not a joke. Yes, test routines were simpler, but so were the drugs. And take a look at Alekseyevs body....48 inch waist, thin legs, 350lbs body weight....and compare that to a known juiced body. The man was simply amazingly strong...and drug free.

The drugs were simpler, yes, but not one athlete of the Eastern block was drug free. Drugs were part of the system. This has been well-documented. The atheletes had no choice. They had to abide. So were the other competitors. it doesn't take away the fact that he was one of the best athletes of the century, if not the best.

Alekseyev, for the most did not train with the other Sovjet lifters. He followed mainly his own training regimen and his own diet, hence his different physique compared to the other Sovjet lifters at that time. If youlook at the documentary, his body looks exactly the same as when he was training. No after-drug shrinkage

Athelte? LMAO! I would call the guy freaky strong and a great lifter but hardly a fucking athlete. Come on! An athlete he is not! The guy probably has/had ZERO stamina when it came to anything other than lifting heavy shit.

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

He had stamina to workout multiple times a day, almost every day. You of course have no idea what it is to be a top athlete.

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.

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.

It's funny how you deduct from his appearance that he didn't have any stamina. But hey this is a bodybuilding site.

That is why this is an educational thread. Strength and muscular looks is not always corresponding. Alekseyev has that genetic gift of producing imense strength out of his unathletic looking body. Off course his bodyfat from eating that 36 egg ommelete breakfast may be hiding more of his muscles than we know. The man pobably has outrageous core strength
