Just look at the difference in density and thickness, it's crazy :o
-
Larry looks good ,obvious low dose little less strict on diet.
-
Smaev is possibly the strongest man in the world right now, but he doesn't take anything seriously and isn't really competitive in any strength sport. Has a day job as an HVAC technician or something like that. Weird dude.

He mainly looks like that because he married his 50+ highschool teacher ;D
Seems awfully excited to be around his friends too :-X

Any idea what he looks like dieted down? Looks to have decent structure.
-
10 yr transformation. One must have a lotta dedication to the iron to get that done
-
Gee, Dad, he's BIG.

so he was 16 in that pic... :o
-
He consumes about 14,000 calories every day.

Smaev is a freak. His arms are alot bigger.
but if we talk bodybuilding it's not his thing. Larrys back is better in a bodybuilding sense. Both lat spread and bdb

hard to say that when his squat and deadlift is not up there.
but he is probably top 5 in bench
best in the world at weighted pull ups
possibly among the strongest in armstrength in general

10.2 inch wrists and 21 inch forearms is nuts. Dude is a beast.

google is wrong about that he is 185 cm / 6'1
but around 150-160kg

Yes, that's why I deleted shortly after I posted. I saw a picture with he and CBum at the same height.

cbum is 6ft, he lied about being 6'1 so he could cheat at the Olympia

Yeah, I know look at my post history about it.

Gee, Dad, he's BIG.
I looked at Larry's face, and he just looked at Andrey with awe. I thought God just passed us.

Dead by 28 or does it seem like I’m grossly overestimating his window?

your digestive system would be clogged if you tried to eat that much every day

About half of those calories come from juice. The way he eats is disgusting.

Irrelevant, you still have to digest it which can take up to 36 hours from putting it in your mouth

A 340 lbs of muscle monster obviously burns through calories at a much higher pace than the avg person. You can not compare.

Sumo wrestlers eat around 10k cals, and they train way harder than him and they get way fatter than him.
14k cals isnt possible on a consistent basis.

You dont understand lean body mass in relation to calorie consumption i see....
Fat doesnt burn calories. Its just energy storage. Sumos dont have near the lean mass of guys like Smaev.
Lean mass of the sumos are maybe 210-230. As such their demand for calories is not nearly as much.

I do understand and he isnt eating all that food, it takes 36-48 hours for food to clear your digestive system from mouth to ass.
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/indigestion/expert-answers/digestive-system/faq-20058340
After 2 days his intestines and bowels would be stuffed
It also takes around 4 hours for your stomach to fully clear after a meal

You don''t understand, Swifty.

Plus he'd have to shit outside because there is no toilet flushing that load down.

You have to multiple flush.
Flush after every poop or partial poop drops.
Of course your water bill will go up.

You can talk about not needing whatever amount of calories and protein he consumes, but the way I see it if he's maintaining his weight on a certain amount of food he's eating then it's the "right amount." I'd bet his protein is at least 500 grams a day but could also be upwards of a fucking kilo. Sure you can argue he could replace 10 or 20% of that with fat and carbs and you might be right but invariably the really huge bodybuilders eat maybe about 400 grams at least. Justin "Troponin" Harris, a top coach says look how little you gain with 'lots of protein' and then look at his diets it's invariably going to be like 300 grams for the big guys, same exact thing applies to George Farah who also advocates lower protein, whatever that means to him. To me it appears that "science" says there's an almost unlimited capacity for the body to absorb and utilize food. All these 600+lbs fatties didn't get that way by shitting out undigested food. Surely he exaggerates with 14K, at least daily, but it's still going to be a lot. It can't be too much unless you think he's too fat. Dorian Yates advocated 1.5 grams of protein per pound per day and for him at his biggest in the off-season it was 450 grams a day. Dorian isn't all knowing but just saying... he says you can't eat all your protein in one or two meals because you can't absorb it. He was wrong here, science has shown there's no practical upper limit on how much you can absorb. He was thinking of the research on the amount of protein needed for max protein synthesis. But large amounts of food don't absorb all at once. I've posted one paper saying there's no upper limit although they only tested to 70 grams, a typical amount for an American dinner they claimed LOL. It was better for protein synthesis and extended anabolism than lower amounts.
Here's one testing up to 100 grams in a single sitting.

Can you explain how people on a carnivore diet eating once a day manage to get all their protein needs?
Surely you dont believe the bullshit about only absorbing 35-30 grams at a sitting?
That was a Weider scam to sell fart powder.
Serge Nubret only ate once per day (3-4lb of horse meat)
and remember , you cant increase the number of muscle fibres in your body no matter how much protein you eat

No I thought I was clear on that argument. It wasn't even about digestion but efficient utilization and how much was needed in one dosing to maximally stimulate protein synthesis, and by meeting the 'leucine' threshold; but it's more involved than that. Even whey protein is digested at only like grams per hours. When 100 grams of whey is consumed anabolism is stimulated for about 12 hours, and not through synthesis alone but lessened breakdown. Casein is slower and then out sone olive oil to slow digestion is slowed further, potentially. Knowing what we know now it's easy to see how several pounds of horsemeat can sustain you for a long time. I do think at least 3 meals is preferable for some reasons. perhaps with essential amino acid pulses in between. dj had AI tell him he needed to meet his 2 or 3 gram leucine threshold 4 times a day but it won't work well if overall protein is low even by RDI standards, besides 5 grams of leucine has been shown to be better.
So I completely agree you on this aspect.
I'm not sure I believe the 4lb horse meat thing because everything is always exaggerated but your points still stand.
Another thing about the needed surpluses for growth, like Mentzer said you needed a bite of an apple over your BMR to grow. It's not a perfect conversion of the body only needing this little amount to grow this much. I do think his diet was probably suboptimal, especially in prep where protein needs go up.

He recently shared his macros. If I remember correctly, they were over 500 grams of protein, 600 grams of fat, and over 1,500 grams of carbohydrates. A large portion of those calories come from unhealthy eating. For example, he eats 1 kg (over 2 lbs) of cheesecake every day.

hes right, no matter how much food you eat you cant increase the amount of muscle fibres you have.
If people stopped talking about "muscle gains" and "adding tissue" then people might wake up and save some money.
Over eating gets you fat, it doesnt "build muscles"
Muscles respond to stimulus and expand in size and strength

So you think Smaev could achieve the exact same look by eating only 100 grams of protein and getting the rest of his calories from carbs and fat?

he would be fine with 200 at his bodyweight, 100 is a bit low in order to maintain a healthy repair
Any scientific consensus you read wont advise more than 1.0gm per kilo of body weight
I eat no more than 75-100 gms a day at the moment and Im fine
all the 1gm per lb of bodyweight is excessive and a waste of money

This is what I mean. Muscles expands yes, but there's an increase in muscle protein. Let's say you can increase the contractile, proteinaceous tissue by one gram a day. That doesn't mean you only need 1 additional gram of dietary protein over your other metabolic needs. I don't have 'facts' on hand showing how much it might be but I think it's many times over that. One thing I talked about was the protein needs for young vs old people. Young people got a certain level of protein synthesis from 20 grams of whey but the old needed 40 grams for the same, that double the protein! So some scientists recommend old people to eat 1.3 grams per kilo vs the usual .8 grams. The extra protein doesn't go to just building additional muscle but first to healing from the trauma.
So you think Dorian ate at least twice the needed protein for his physique? Could he have halved the calories also?

lets not ,its specualtion and not facts.
Some scientists disagree with them
And the extra protein doesnt build any additional muscle.
Have you not been following anything I have written?

Yes I've read everything and I try to remember it too as well as I can. The protein in elderly is to stave off sarcopenia. Fun fact I read recently, there's a thigh muscle that at about 80 years old is a big as a 5 year old's :'(
I'd have to check but in my recollection some weight lifting can build a little extra muscle and especially strength.
I didn't go beyond this:
AI overview
Yes, a 70-year-old can absolutely build muscle through consistent strength training, even starting from scratch. While muscle loss can accelerate with age, muscles remain responsive to the stress of exercise, and gains in strength and size are possible at any age. Research indicates that people in their 70s and 80s can achieve significant strength gains and improvements in muscle mass, balance, and overall function.
It's going to be relatively small but anything is better than nothing 8)
I've tried encouraging my 77 year old mom to go to the gym twice weekly with her 79 year old husband (he does it). She used to but motivation is lacking. I tried to get her to drink a small 20 gram protein shake a day but she's picky with food.
