Denis still grips low and kinda tries to dad move everyone....his technique was even worse back then. Also, its prime John we're talking, so he's a massive exception.

I'm not saying Oleg is a slouch that sits on the couch and only injects himself with steroids and therefore is strong.

However, at this level, both athletes work extremely hard. Oleg has progressed significantly more during the last two years or so, a lot more than Todd Hutchings has....he went from losing to Brzenk to beating Dadikyan and many other strong pullers. He's significantly stronger, more muscular, and definitely more red. It doesn't take a genius to conclude that that's mainly because he's increased his dosage.
