Kovacs wouldn't hurt himself to get his benchpress up to 700 pounds and his squat up to 900.

There was a hit song called "Tub-Thumping" by Challawalla that could easily be turned into a "Shot-Putting" type of song.

Chumbawamba is the actual name of the band I believe.

With all the training, lifting and dieting they do, these guys don’t even need steroids to get big. They get huge the old fashioned way, by working at it.

I’m guessing they won’t be performing at this level after six to eight years have passed. The metabolism begins to dictate more of what the body can naturally achieve.
Bone density will have changed by then too, though still far stronger than the average man their ages.

I was six two and weighed 190. I was a sprinter and hurdler but I would sometimes toss the discus or put the shot or throw the Javelin. I never scored a point in shot but was always within a few inches of getting a medal

I threw the college discus 136 feet and again never placed but was near. I did place in the javelin a few times but never won. The javelin is rough on your shoulder but neither the shot or discus hurt.

My best friend in Tulsa was the room mate of Randy Matson of Texas A&M. They both were shot putters but Matson was better. My friend did play for the Houston Oilers tho. He was huge, 6’8” and was probably around 340 and actually fairly lean.

Matson held the world record for a long time.
