The man lifted inhuman weights for volume day in day out, on top of cardio/diet, up until his mid 40's. No major injuries or tears while he was training (maybe a left lat tear depending on who you ask). Well-balanced strength, no weakpoint lifts. Hell, the guy even competed in powerlifting for a while.
Calling his intelligence or judgement into question I could see, but I dont understand how anyone could call his physical structure anything less than "top-flight". Care to elaborate?
Come on. Do I really have to do this?
He FAR exceeded, with drugs and hormones, his structural tolerance to withstand heavy, heavy weight training.
Now he’s almost in a wheelchair.
Elite strength athletes, the TRUE greats (Kaz, Coan, etc.), also use copious amounts of drugs and hormones, but they, to varying degrees, do NOT experience the shocking bodily destruction as is now displayed by Coleman.
His muscles’ ability to exert force (again, by using and abusing) far, far, far exceeded his “architectural” blueprint.
And too much stress was applied, for a considerable amount of time.
In short, his engine (muscles) was too powerful for his chassis (spine, connective tissues, etc.).
