How do you explain someone like Big Buck? Genetic freak? He's solid and does a lot of running.

Not argueing, just wondering how he does it. My goal is to be large, ripped AND have good cardio abilities.

My point is:

At the olympic/professional level - your body will be representative of the way you have trained it.

Buck is a freak - but if he ran marathons and hundreds of miles at a time he would look VERY different

I do see your point. I just seem to remember that he will run 8 miles or so at a good clip for his training. Pretty damn impressive at his size and representative of my goals.

Damn freaks.

Yep. But even at the level of running he dropped from 265 into the 230's.
