Wilder weighed 207 for his pro debut in 2008! That was 71/2 years ago! So if he gained 5 pounds every year , that adds up to 35 pounds which puts him at his present weight! It can be done with proper disapline, training and exercise, throw in a personal chef and trainer, not too hard to believe he did it without PEDs.
I doubt he will let RUSADA catch him he isn't stupid, he will be clean.:yep For some reason when a big dude uses steroids it stays in their system longer. Maybe its because they use more of it. Big Deontay will need 10 IV bags/17,500 milliliters of clean up! :tong
Keep up the work! I see you Pov fans are getting your excuses ready for when Wilder puts the Russian to sleep!:devil
Lol. Watch this and you'll become a lot more educated re: the science of muscle growth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnqlTz14LTU
I'm not making excuses for Povetkin. :verysad My post was meant to be humorous along with fact. Everybody knows that Wilder is clean. Heavyweights can lift a lot of weights. They don't have to worry about weight limits.
So many people that don't have the vaguest clue about anything fitness related. You can't put on 10 lbs a year, or even just 5, after the first year. To put things in perspective, very jacked individuals will struggle putting on 3 lbs of muscle in a year. Because you don't add muscles indefinitely, you start quick but slow down very fast. They're called noob gainz for a reason. After the first year, you can't put on 10 lbs of muscle. Whoever does that starting from an already muscolar frame, is mathematically juicing. Joshua and Wilder are beyond any medical record of clean athletes. Otherwise a 35 years old bodybuilder would be carrying 200 lbs of muscles, impossible. Not even on steroids.
Drugs or not, if he wins, he will get busted for steroids, everybody WHO beats the homefighter in Russia, gets busted...
Not necessarily. It does depend quite a lot on body frame. A man with a big tall frame like Wilder would be able to put on more muscle weight in a year than a man who is a foot shorter with small bones. The small man however would probably LOOK more "jacked" than the tall lanky man, even putting on less muscle. Also, putting on muscle without fat is entirely possible, with the exact right amount of calories. Again, the bigger framed men are at the advantage here, because they can consume more calories anyway, without getting fat, generally. There's not a "one size fits all" rule for these things. Having said all that, Wilder is probably on 'roids anyway.
But since when has Wilder been training seriously to put on mass ? It seems to be quite a recent thing. At 6'6 or 6'7 these guys can put on more muscle than the average guy in a gym. I agree with you to a large extent though. Joshua admits that he was bodybuilding at the gym BEFORE he started his boxing training, and that he put on a good amount of weight before he boxed, so he's obviously been doing it for several years. I don't know how much muscle he's put on since he turned pro, but some people are saying it's a good 15 pounds, and that seems highly unlikely for a guy who's not new to bodybuilding training without using drugs. Even a man of his dimensions.
I think the relative size, as mentioned by Unforgiven is very pertinent to any discussion about muscle mass being put on. A few pounds of mucscle gained will no doubt be accompanied by a pound of fat at least, so it's not necessarily a lean 50lbs or whatever being gained. These guys will have good ideas of calorific intake and how to manage their macros to firstly obtain a calorie surpluss to allow muscle growth, but not to the extent that fat is put on at a higher rate. I went from 173 to 188 then back down to 175 in 6 months, measurements suggest I gained 3-4lbs of muscle, but then lost 1 or 2lbs in the drop back to 175 and I wasn't taking things particularly seriously. At their size, you can easily multiply their gains as I'm only 5'9 and about as genetically gifted as the dodo.
