Note. Whatever one makes of Andrew Tate otherwise — including the criminal charges he faces, which are outside this site’s scope — this page judges one thing only: the physique math. Every number is a reported figure or our own photo read.
Strip away the persona and the numbers are surprisingly tame.
The timeline
Tate fought at 180 lbs (81.5 kg) for his 2011 ISKA title and around 198 lbs (90 kg) for his 2014 Enfusion title — at nearly 6’2” (187 cm), that’s FFMI 20 rising to 22.1: an unremarkable, athletic fighter’s build, gained at a natural rate through his competitive prime. His post-2023 form reads around 205 lbs (93 kg), softer — FFMI about 21.5, slightly LESS lean mass than his fighting years. A decade-flat, never-past-the-bands timeline is the least suspicious shape this site sees.
His denials are total — quoted above in their full scenery-chewing glory — and the checkable parts hold: kickboxing weigh-ins and testing existed at his title level, and in 2025 Derek of More Plates More Dates ran a comprehensive third-party panel on him that found no anabolic agents. This site’s method says a clean panel can’t prove a negative across a career — suppressed-gonadotropin tricks and timing exist — so we weigh it as supporting evidence, not proof. It supports numbers that never needed explaining in the first place.
Verdict
Likely-natty. A fighter’s modest, flat timeline, inside the natural bands at every dated point, with denials and a voluntarily passed modern panel on top. The self-description as “a genetic specimen of absolute brilliance” is, by this site’s math, roughly a 21.5 FFMI — which may be the most clarifying sentence on this page.
In their words
“I am on precisely zero steroids or TRT [testosterone replacement therapy] of any kind. Never have been. Never taken them in my life, ever. I am a man who eats once a day and trains. That is all I swear this before GOD. I will take and pass any test, try me. Accept I am a genetic specimen of absolute brilliance. Gods soldier. Powerful beyond belief. I do not need drugs. I am not you. I am me.”
“I have never taken a steroid in my entire life, I was tested my entire kickboxing career.”
