Deontay Wilder is making all kinds of gains

It's a little fishy. After 11 years of lifting I'm only 40 lbs heavier than I was when I started. 50 lbs in 3 years is a lot.

 

A newbie to weights can gain maybe 20 or even 30 lbs of muscle in their 1st year...wilder is already clearly jacked and no novice to building muscle..... as you go on its vastly diminishing returns in your gains....so thus he's playing the hypocrite calling povetkin for being on steriods.....just like hypocrite void mayweather was calling pac a roider.

 

It depends on genetics but it's harder to bulk up when you're already a muscular athlete in a sport where you need a lot of cardio and explosiveness like boxing.

Whether bodybuilders can or can't gain that much muscle isn't that relevant, they have to eat like crazy and don't do any cardio. Those people wouldn't last a round in boxing.

If you want to bulk up successfully in boxing you pretty much need roids.

 

Two to three years ago, Wilder weighed 225. Not 190. (Maybe he was 190 when he played basketball in high school.)

He's always been a heavyweight. He turned pro EIGHT YEARS AGO at around 210. (About 20 pounds more than you're claiming).

 

He's gained 30 pounds in the eight years he's been a pro. (Or between 3 and 4 pounds a year.)

SHOCKING!!

 

No he wasn't. And the Olympics were nearly a DECADE ago. He was in the 2008 Olympics. It's 2016. :roll:

 

201 was the limit.

 

The crazy thing is that Wilder says he's putting on muscle "just for the image".
It's nothing to do with being a better fighter, he just wants to look jacked.

What are you talking about? People lose weight when they train. Heavyweights do, too. Deontay Wilder wasn't walking around at 201. He doesn't walk around at 225 ... which is what he weighed two years ago when you claimed he was 190 and in the Olympics. atsch

If (and the emphasis is on IF) he weighs 240 (he weighed 228.5 for Szpilka), he just didn't do as much roadwork as he normally does. Coming in bigger just means look for him not to run for 12 rounds. Look for him to plant and fire.
