Great genetics, combined with a 100% daily dedication to diet and training. Plus, a set of great drugs to go with it(Tren, Test, Cheque Drops, ECA, Anavar, etc...).

lots of sports do.
eg there are some big rugby players who can run for miles, heavy weight wrestlers etc.

wow, you can be big AND athletic?

[J.C.]

As the olympics are going on take a look at a number of athletes like boxers, sprinters and rowers and you will see they are all pretty big guys. As someone who rows, I would say the basic principles are the same. Lift weights and eat huge:- you get bigger and stronger. Do lots of cardio and eat huge:- you get fitter (and don't lose muck weight). I think what enables the rowers and boxers to maintain their 17stone frames is eating 6000calories a day, having good gentics and improving over time.
