The big Kaboosh is coming !!

 

Yeah, alot more meat on his frame... !

 

That has to be close to a career heavy weight. I'm sure he and his team have come in heavy as he's fighting a guy who is close to a natural 300lbs. Overeems got his work cut out. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Silva KO's him by the 2nd round. Overeems cardio has always been poor and he's a front runner. Its doubtful the additional weight will help him at all. It certainly won't matter if and when Silva gets him to the mat.

 

His bf was probably around 8-9% for Lesnar. For abs to be visible like that you have to well under 10%. And for a man of that size and weight there's only one way to do that, plenty of hormones. You can see Overeem has clearly missed a few cycles and unless he was relaxing his gut completely on stage his abs were virtually non-existent.

Plenty of water retention here. Especially in the chest and around the obliques.

Conversely here's Overeem dialing it in. Granted his flexing but great symmetry, size, thickness and conditioning.

 

Yup in between cycles or when you come off gear you loose conditioning, and any additional weight is usually water or just fat. Bottom line is the human body was not designed to be that heavy. Unless you're 8ft tall. And even then there's a natural limit as to the amount of musculature your body will put on. The reality is the human body does not require or need large muscles in order to function. Thus it can only be augmented via resistance and hormones.

 

Apart from the placebo effect, hormones as you know, don't give you skills. Likewise its very hard to definitively measure how much of a better fighter they can make you. In Overeems case judging by the success he's had since his move to heavy, considering he was an above average LHW but certainly not among the elites, its safe to say they've helped him immensely.

But i don't know how much they'll help against a natural giant like Silva who is Acromegalic giant, hence his large bone structure. Plus Silva has canned hams for fists and a great ground game. Overeem is no slouch. But unless he can take Silva out in the first or early second i don't see him winning. As steroids don't help with inherent fragility. Namely his chin and stamina which have both failed him during his career.

 

I'm pretty sure Alistair was this size for the K1 GP that he won. I remember him being in the 260'a for that grand prix.
