Title: What other sports Bodybuilders would be good OR bad at?
Post by: ToxicAvenger on March 05, 2010, 03:57:40 PM
Right off the bat I think bbers would make horrible swimmers> muscle is heavy and the low fat content would give bbers very little buoyancy.
I think bbers could be good at baseball...they'd certainly be able to hit far, on the other hand prolly not so with cricket as it involves a lot of footwork

Baseball could be a good game but it's fucked up by all the breaks and $$$ that sponsors want. Too boring. Cricket, especially now Twenty20 is far better.

If you understand pitching, (ever took the mound?) you know that there is nothing boring about the game. There's an intricate contest going on that the average viewer doesn't get.

Have you tried swimming as a bodybuilder? srlsy its impossible. you dont have do have "epic leans" but as long as you have more muscles than fat and are not a pro swimmer it is impossible. After 10 mins you get the pump of your life in chest, back and arms and then you'll sink like a stone.

Title: Re: What other sports Bodybuilders would be good OR bad at?
Post by: just_a_pilgrim on March 05, 2010, 05:02:22 PM
Anyway i train in this sport and have for 6 years. Outrigging mainly on the 1 man. The extra strength and size greatly helps in the 6 man version (esp. sprints), not the 1, but sux training with other people.

What's the average salary of a cricket player?
i googled this
Answer
Exact salaries for each player is not known. However, most cricket boards have a retainer fee for their top players which they are paid yearly plus any winnings from man of the matches or match/series wins. These retainers and match salaries vary widely. For instance, it has been published that the Australian cricket side will each take home roughly $500,000US per year thanks to the retainer contracts and match winnings over a year. Another example is the West Indian players who can earn upwards of $8,000US per Test and $3,000US per ODI based on their contracts and number of games played.

now questuion for you

whats the average education of a baseball player?

Top couple of guys in OZ, with endoresments would be making 3+ million. Maybe 30? make a good living from it in OZ, now with the Indian Premier League for Twenty20 and there will be other leagues coming in the next few years. Twenty20 has made it possible for other players to make it big rather than rely on their countries selectors to pick them (politics in everything).

EDIT: Toxic Avenger would be right. 25 players are contracted each year in this country by the cricket board, and there are a few now making good money only playing Twenty20.

You have a few incidents (Mitchell Johnson headbutting a NZ player in the last few days) but nothing outragous.

Cricket players are looked on quite badly for off field incidents. Shane Warne would have been Australian Captain if he hadn't been running around fucking everything he could. Yet they chose Ricky Ponting, great player, but got knocked out by a bouncer in a club many years ago for chasing round after a tranny and pissing the bouncer off. However he had behaved himself for many years after so they went with him. Any bad incidents and they get the boot quite quickly.

Well it was 'reported' to be a woman. So who knows what is covered up in any sport.

I would not say Cricket players are the smartest guys in the world by any means. But they are cracked down upon for off field incidents, which compared to Rugby League in this country is a big deal.

Rugby League last year had 1 count of rape, 2 drug dealers, multiple parter bashings, taking a shit in a hotel hallway, multiple drunk driving offences, one player bashed a sponsor because the player ripped into his daughter and he took offence (same night as the rape in the same club) etc etc......
