How do wrestlers get huge? Not pussy wwe, or faggot light weights. I'm talking the big fucker like Karelin. If they're training everyday for hours, and always doing cardio and shit, how do they get/maintain muscle like that? Just by eating enormous amounts of food?

When a guy that size has look like that, you know you better run
>>34913118
Collegiate Wrestlers and Olympic Wrestlers have been training for years(since early teens)
So you have guys with 10 plus years of daily training(often by paid personnel) and they take PEDs
>how do I get big?
By lifting,eating and sleeping it just takes time(or just take PEDs)

1. Genetics. Sorry, this is always no. 1
2. Steroids and other gear. MASSIVE amounts to reach Karelin mode.
3. Enormous amounts of food; eating up to 8x a day.
Alistair Overeem isn't a wrestler but he's an example of a big huge fucker that does hours and hours of cardio, weight training and sparring daily and still maintained a bodyweight of 260 in the juicier days. I mean look at the fucker.

JESUS CHRIST HES ENORMOUS. How would you even fight against him?

Gokhan Saki literally beat the fuck out of him with one hand for the better part of a round in their fight (which took place the night that pic was taken, K-1 WGP Finals 2010). If Gokhan wasn't fighting with a broken hand and arm, he would have almost certainly won.
It was a good little fight, despite its anticlimactic ending.

In short, fighting is still mostly about skill.
But yeah. Uberreem was an intimidating fucker back in the horse meat days.
if you get paid its easy.
They get paid to get big
They get paid to train
they get paid to eat
>>34913162
eh, he makes it look like you need to eat 10k kcal a day to get that big
im a 115kg lanklet and i can easily eat 4k kcal a day with up to 2000 kcal in one sitting.
unless you're some 150kg+ roiding superhulk eating that much really is not a problem
>>34913267
how do you get into a position where people pay you to keep a body like that. wrestling and fighting are hte only things i can think of for that
>>34913486
You have to dedicate your life to your sport, fill your body with various performance enhancing substances and be at least a little gifted.

this is the guy that manhandled brock fucking lesnar
Nearly every professional athlete trains with heavy weights and takes steroids.

Lots and lots of training, also we have very low body fat. elexander kerilin (guy in the photo) was a beast, went for 7 years straight without a point scored on him...
He was also unique for a heavy weight wrestler.
I wrestled for 10 years some college and international. I can say the level of training will break the weak of mind when it comes to serious competition.
Imagine eating at a large deficit for days while training twice a day just to keep your cardio gains and to try and hold onto strength as well. a lot goes into it.
pic related, me
>>34913267
A side note to what you said, wrestlers don't get paid. Unless you are the best of the best, you dedicate your life to wrestling just to be poor when you can no longer compete. this is what drove me away from the sport.
>>34913843
this.
I also wrestled for a couple years and I eventually left.
training sessions were SICK.
couldn't keep it up while studying and working.

In wrestling it is very hard to get away with steroid use. Most of the dedicated wrestlers will out a fellow wrestler for using. We take our love for our sport very seriously.
Tho every now and again we get a few who go under the radar.
>>34913843
how much weightlifting did you do when wrestling, op? As in, how much of that physique is because of lifting vs your other training
>>34913871
Yeah in college I had a very hard time balancing training with study (that is why I left to go international).

99 percent of top athletes are obviously roided out, it doesn't take away from their accomplishment but don't lie to yourself
>>34913593
I like this guy. He doesn't act "macho"... he's very calm and casual. Very family oriented. Seems like he has his shit together.
Cool dude.

Wrestlers do not weight lift as much as you would expect. however, the physique I have now is from lifting. Though I have seen some wrestlers achieve the same from lots of training and light lifting.
Wrestling gave me the ability to start with heavy weight from the start. Plus I do a minimum of 15 reps for all sets.
here is me in highschool (5ish years ago)
at 185lbs
>>34913914
I competed at the highest level without roids (I even have naturally low T). People are too afraid to put in the extra work that breaks most people.
>>34913914
This. God in heaven, this. If you can't glance at a monster like Karelin and INSTANTLY realize he's juiced to the gills, you've got issues, Jack.
Point of reference: Karelin is 6'4 and competed at 285 lb with what appeared to be about 10% bf at most. This gives him an adjusted FFMI of 32. Yes, the formula is fucked for tall people but you get the point.
PS: There's something kinda tragic about Karelin's reign being ended by this hamplanet.

dude was a soviet medical science experiment from super early on.
sometimes i wish there were two tiers of sports, one with no doping control at all and one natural just to see what medical and sports science could do

>pussy wwe
Most of them are former collegiate or olympic wrestlers. Kurt angle, brock lesnar, Charlie haas, Shelton benjamin, Chad gable, the list could go on....
>>34913914
They're just genetic freaks, you need to be to get to that level.
