    His body fat % is unlikely to be low enough to cause a drop in testosterone levels.

    And/or simply because there is no reason for him to get his body fat % too low, he's a heavyweight. He looks as ripped as many other athletes and athletes are not known to have low testosterone.

    Okay let's vist some other athletes. The cream if the crop with regards to genentics. Sprinters

    Linford Christie 188cm and 84 kg around 6% bf

    That's 4kgs under my equation of height -100

    Now you see why Joshua is pushing what's acceptable. 13kg over

    He will also do a lot less explosive training than a sprinter as he needs good CV too. Which will usually limit lbm. He's not doing primarily fast twitch stimulation. He

    1. People can be different builds. Some people are naturally more muscular than others. For instance Harry Aikines-Aryeetey looks to be a more muscular build than Linford Christie.

    2. I'm not going to pay too much attention to your equation because you don't seem to have actual facts on these guys body fat percentages, you're just guessing.

    3. Maybe Joshua is on the upper level of the scale but that's how things work. Some people like Stephen Hawkins are on the upper level for intelligence. Some people are on the upper level for height etc. At the end of the day Joshua is pretty big and muscular but he isn't overly heavy for his height. He isn't overly stocky or muscular for his height, he has an acceptable amoumt of muscle mass for his height, he just doesn't have a lot of fat but then many proffesional sportspeople have a similar level of fat.

    He obviously could be on PED'S but I also think he obviously is genetically gifted in regard to his physique and I wouldn't be at all surprised if he was totally clean.

    He is without doubt extremely genetically gifted and he wd be on the upper levels anyway due to his likely probable ease of adding lean muscle.

    Personally from what I've seen and experienced over the years I would lean towards juiced. With regards to guessing body fat yes of course I am but I wd like to think (as mentioned) taking 1000s of readings I'm prob not far off (dexa and hydrostatic)

    He is within the realms of a natty he's not Ronnie Coleman size . but he's not trying to gain muscle is he?

    I think he probably did do earlier in his career but stopped once he felt he was big/strong enough.

    Haha, obviously I meant in his hay day they were very similar. Back in the 90's etc

    I guess a boxing example would be Bruno.

  12. This drugged roid cheat should be behind bars, if he ever done what he did in the US before he took part in the olympics that is where he'd be.
