said it before and i'll say it again, he does have great arms.  shame about the pec cause aside from conditioning which he could fix with time he is young he could be a real future threat.  who knows maybe he could overcome the pec tear.  there are other pros that have excelled and succeded with underdeveloped pecs, lee priest anyone? nothing against lee everyone has their strength and weakness lee has many good qualities his pecs are not his best part.   so if federov brought his pecs up he could match lee in terms of developement.

looks like art atwood in those pics a little.

I'll tell you what happened to this guy.  He got overrated when he competed against Cutler and Coleman in shows where both were coming off the Olympia (not in OLYMPIA condition, close) and he was being compared against nobody lineups and he had homefield advantage in Russia.  Put him on a plane, on foreign soil, against stacked lineups, and he falls apart.  Add in the torn pec, him being too young to completely knows what works for him, and this guy will never fulfill the promise FLEX put so heavy on him. i.e Richard Jones, Chris Cook, Gunter, and now Federov

You guys don`t know shit.
Fedorov was unbelieveable in 2003. In that condition he was top six material at the Mr. O. So the hype was ok. Lightyears ahead Chris Cook for example, who wouldn`t have a chance at an Amateur European or World Championship.
Unfortunately since then he wasn`t in that condition anymore. That`s the point I don`t understand, we all know his chest problems, but why is his conditioning so horrible ?

I just think the dieting part is tough for him (I have heard that it may be a fod quality problem in Russia - due to lack of labeling, standards, etc).  That would certainly make it tougher.  But he just need to learn to come down earlier to ensure that he is low enough...

TOp six at the Mr. O with one pec, and a asymetrical back? He's the Russian version of Art Atwood, and if Atwood couldn't make a dent what makes you so sure Federov could?  what are you smokin'?

Ditto:

He’s another Kovacs: BIG bulky muscle that’s fun to look at or grope but not cut out to be a pro bodybuilder.  He has terrible lines, ugly muscles, and should train simply for the fun of it.  He will never be in the first or second tier competitor.

umm..how can you mis label chicken breast and potatoes? wouldn't he be on a strict diet during comp prep? also they all access to the same drug. I would even argue that he has more access being from russia. He doesn't have the same governmental restrictions as the US.

He missed his peak.   He needed 2 more days of carbing up and dropping his water immensly.

Hes flat and holding water....hes gonna learn the hard way.  But hes young, so hes got time.

It's simple: in 2003 he did a heavy diuretic regimen. Now competing in the states, for whatever reason, availability of drugs or unwillingness to go to the same extremes, he isn't getting as dry.

Hes got the monster size- bot coming in good enough conditions is just a lack of dedication man..Look at the top pros like Cutler..coming in Razor Sharp all the time.. you see it in his videos, hes so dedicated to dieting...that contest dieting, thats what makes a pro or Breaks them.. coming in that great shape..

im the first to admit i was wrong about his condition,he wasnt prepared enough for this contest,hes young enough though were he can make the proper adjustments imo.im still a huge fan of alex though cause hes a great guy regardless of his bad placing at the ny pro,he will be back better im sure
Title: Re: What Happened to Federov???
Post by: getfast81 on May 21, 2006, 01:46:20 PM
One thing I will give him is that he is on 26-27 years old so he does have time to figure his diet, physique, and so on.  But Big Ron has been proved right when he said this guy is no one to worry about. For now at least.  Get him off his home turf and he just cant compete with american bodybuilders.  Thats why a lot these guys the PDI are talking about recruiting never leave Europe.
Title: A class act
Post by: muscleforlife on May 22, 2006, 03:11:51 AM
I had a great time at the show on Saturday.  Even though Alex didn't place, he was still a professional all the way.  Standing in the lobby after the show with the audience pouring out, he took photo after photo with fans.
He was disappointed with the show but is still a class act.

Alex Federov is still young and hungry, once he gets the right training guru and stops puttin on exhibition for Mo-lested and the homo crew , he will come in amazing shape... We can not expect anything form Alex till the Pec heals and matches the rest of his body, its a damn shame cause that dude has serious wheels on him

I think the Pec tear really took it's toal on him, Look at his lats as well, each one is disportionate to each other.

Some can come back from a Pec Tear; Levrone and others need to just hang it up. Maybe he should take a year off, work on really strengthening the pec area and come back new and improved.
