Silva had a pituitary tumor or cyst. I'm not exactly sure how but it apparently caused his Low T. His testosterone ng/dl was at 70. Normal is 250-1000. It was so low that he was lactating at one point. To go from normal levels pre-trt ban to 70ng/dl is pretty dramatic. There lots of other things that testosterone does for you that you become readily aware of once you go through that. You have no energy in part because your quality of sleep is garbage, no motivation to train, your physical strength decreases dramatically, your cardio is negatively impacted, you can suffer depression, and just become, overall, less athletic. Bigfoot was just at the end of the line however. He had already been brutally knocked out or TKO'd 3 times and beat to hell by Mark hunt before the TRT ban ever went into effect.I dunno Bigfoot was taking everything Mark Hunt could throw, then off TRT he gets KO'd by a stiff breeze.
He took an entire round of relentless ground and pound from the hardest hitter in the history of the sport.
He had very poor training to reacting to getting hit but he had an absolutely iron chin.
People think I'm crazy but Brock had speed, size, an iron chin, insane power, height, and an 83" reach. He had the makings of a great striker if he ever got the right training.
And I suppose that can help, but only to a small extent. And depending on the angle of the punch. A clean punch to the jaw I don't think it makes much difference. Plenty of guys with thick necks such as overeem have much weaker chins than guys you wouldn't consider to be a "specimen".They help a fighter build stronger neck muscles which aid in absorbing damage to the head.
What science are you using to back that statement up? just because you say so doesn't mean it's true. I really can't even tell if you're serious.Do men have better chins than women? Yes. Why? Testosterone. What are steroids? Testosterone. Steroids obviously make your chin better. Obvious examples are Wanderlei and Big Foot.
Well he was on trt in strikeforce and got his bell rung by a light heavyweight in Mike Kyle and then DC KO'd him stiff too. I think the trt can help but not by much. Genetics has more to do with it.I dunno Bigfoot was taking everything Mark Hunt could throw, then off TRT he gets KO'd by a stiff breeze.
We can easily put the theory to the test by injecting bulls with steroids and have them ram clean bulls

not in the leastDoes this theory check out?
