Was Shane Carwin the most ripped heavyweight?

[HaulParris]

How does he even maintain that pose in the last picture? I understand core strength and all that, but I'd assume his plant hand would have to be below his face or else he'd just tip over.

Maybe it's an "Iranian Hulk" type of Catfish scenario - unbelievable socia media photos and a very different reality.

Shertards are always fascinated by physiques, Coleman would be considered a favourite in a fight against anyone in the HW division by Sherdog logic.

Randleman was friggin' jacked. Not sure how much he weighed...220ish? Technically a HW.

there have some been some heavyweights with low bf%, but fighters like randleman, brock, overeem had body builder-esque physiques. and of course they did lots and lots of steroids, so you could probably chalk it up to that. a tougher question would be "who is the most jacked heavyweight who was never legitimately suspected of of ped use?"

Arlovski back in 2005 was in really good Shape.

He ended his career at 36 and he must be the only one Brock Lesnar who was that big and ripped. Francis was more a lanky fighter.

Cheick and Francis are probably the nattiest

'Ripped'?

Carwin hasn't massively chiseled.

No more than Pavlovich, anyway.

This. It could be argued that Carwin had the most pure strength though. Dude was monstrously powerful.

And also the best height cutter in the biz.
