Fighting is for elementary-age children.

be athletic not hench, you guys crack me up.. can't even do 30 minutes of cardio. completely vain-pointless muscular tone. girls don't even really like it either, they much prefer an athletic well proportioned complete body tone. not some guy with a huge back and tiny legs. y'all look like faggots when you try play sports too, awkward.. usually you guys were small skinny boys in your teens. no natural physique.

imagine a world, if you will

in which a complete lifter used compound movements in olympic lifts

in which their physique was proportional

and their 1RM tonnage for OHP/dead/bench/squat was about 1500 lb

and they started and ended every session with jump rope and box jumps

and their "off days" consisted of 2 hours of bjj drilling and live rolling with no breaks

imagine there were a lot of people like that in this world

imagine that

So explain to me again how if you are muscular and large, you must be slow, unfit, out of proportion and get no women?

It's okay, i'll wait.

We forgot, masaii is a UFC hw :-/

Btw, Mir is close to retirement/getting cut, Kongo got cut, overeem is washed up with suspicion of roids being his key to success, and cigano is overhauling his training regiment after getting thoroughly thrashed by the smaller, more athletic fighter.

I have to agree with seyance on this one. I do light weights and mostly plyo and calisthenics, and I'm positive I'd outperform most people here athletically. Ie in actual function or competition (obv not a weight lifting comp). I don't knock being a muscular meathead, but I don't get it unless you are trying to be a trainer or bodybuilder of some sort.

[Witty]

Some people like looking like that, some people don't.

Doesn't really matter what anyone looks like really, it is of no consequence.

It doesn't matter bros.

[Just C]

Massai looking like a fucking boss right now.

Right, because weight lifting on its own is not functional. When in everyday life are you mimicking flies, bench, etc. if anything squats is functional. My point is that I will get dominated lifting things in a weight room, but lifting things in real life that gpa will be significantly smaller.

Agree with oats.

The answer is: constantly if you are an athlete

pulling and pushing.

that is all it is.

[Ghost1]

Maybe vs a bodybuilder

But vs someone who lifts for strength ie Olympic lifts.....squat, deadlifts, bench, ohp etc

U lose....

Those r the epitome of functional movements based on strength

We just did this convo 2 pages ago?



But yea.....I think at the very least we can all agree we don't want to be like or ever look like masaii.....

Church.

Honestly though, I've competed athletically at a level higher than most people here, I'd think at least, don't know for sure. And while those things help in active competition, hardly anyone here actively competes (I know you're an exception, diode - do you just train or do you also compete?). If anything, you can certainly attest to the muscle bodies who come in after a big UFC event who get smashed because their muscles aren't functional outside of the weight room.

Big muscles takes a lot of discipline and hard work, which I respect. I just don't get it for casual life. I'd rather be lean and strong than big and bulky.

I have been training BJJ for the last 2 years and played at a state level for rugby union whilst receiving a scholarship to the best private school in the state. My explosive movements and speed are very good. Just because someone is big and others could never get that big they dismiss it as steroids or nonfunctional (although I would agree in some cases, it is not the case for me).

You never could look like me because your discipline and skill is low tier. Whilst you sleep I train, whilst you party I work and whilst you work I train. Face it, you are IRL a pathetic beta male who grew a beard because he wanted to look tough because he is fat and has the haircut of a 16 yr old lesbian. What a joke, dont ever approach my threads and act like youve lifted a day in your miserable life you fraudulent faggot.
