Title: why are blacks so poor at strength sports???
Post by: local hero on January 12, 2011, 12:40:02 AM
everyone has to admit, black guys have great genes for building muscle and being athletic.... so how come white guys, particular europeans totally dominate strength sports, such as wsm, olympic lifting and even power lifting.... field sports is a big mystery too, javelin ( which should be natural event ) shot put, discuss etc draws a blank, i cant understand it?

I think thre's two reasons...first, they haven't simply traditionally never been into these "white sports"...blacks are very good sprinting, long-jump etc...sports where a great amount of strength is also needed
second...their natural bone, tendon etc structure is weaker than, for example finnish peoples, in general...and as you all know, hopefully, finns have been kinda good at pl'ing, strongman competitions, shot-put etc...on the other hand, this light structure blacks have helps them in many other sports, long-distance running, for instance...also the "sport" of bodybuilding is good for them...small joints make their muscles look a lot more swole compared to heavier built white fellas, think about flex vs fridge...fridge has doublr kens muscle mass...still kenny looked a lot more impressive, IMO...just my 2000 000 cents ofc... ;D

People of W. African descent have denser bones than Euros and E. Africans...E Africans have lesser fast twitch muscle fibers than W. Africans--diff genetics (good for long distance running). Smaller waists of W. African blacks "apparently" help in running, and having high calves "apparently" help or are better for torque transfer

It's because their ancestors in Africa wouldn't go in water for fear of crocodiles - I'm not being funny, it's absolutely true - I read about it when I was studying Sports Sociolgy at university - that's the prevalent theory as to why there aren't many black swimmers - the innate fear has been handed down through generations. I'll look back into it and see who was the one who proposed it.

I was thinking of stoping slow max reps... because these guys do nothing but explosive training, they are equally skinny as I am, but taller and even have more fat than I have....... and they bench 200kg  :P, it's not fair :D

true power is not size, it's dense muscle fibers. Most big guys bodies look stressed out in away that they pump so hard for relatively so little strength at the end.

They aren't poor it's just a less an obvious route to go. As has already been stated. Football, basketball are far more obvious and desireable sports to go for.

There are plenty well known strength sport athletes, past and present, the colour of night. O.D. Wilson, Steve Goggins, Mark Felix, Mark Henry, John Davis, Jim Williams.

But really if you're a big strong tower of darkness you're gonna go slap some pads on and try and make it on a football field.

Oh and what about John Henry.....

Black people are not "poor" at strength sports.

But isn't that like saying all black golfer are great because Tiger is?  One example doesn't carry much weight....no pun intended.


I just think they don't focus on them, pure and simple.  If they did, they would represent at least 50% of the field in most events.

It to has to do with accesibility and resources!

Soccer is popular in Latin america because it is cheap to play, coaching is not required (early levels)  and more can made if you are very good.

Same rules for basketball, track and field. Whereas golf and  tennis coaching and equipment is everything.

yeah but that's real power... at his bodyweught, 160lbs, you have to lift almost 4 times your bodyweight without any equipment to be able to compete in the olympics... that's "power"... that's athletisism. They do gym only to support their actual and REAL sport which is throwing spears.

powerlifting isn't the ultimate strength/power... these powerlifters just lift to lift even more... if they would throw a snow ball they would probably tear their shoulder, or if they went running their ankle would probably hurt... is that power?

I think olympic athletes have power  comparable to a racing motorcycle, but powerlifters/bodybuilders in the form of a tractor... two differend things.

Dude is strong for his size no doubt though, but I would say in a different way than what the bench press proves.
Ive heard plenty of people say they can lift a ridiculous amount of weight on the bench press (400lbs+) , but then I see them struggling with a set of 225 for 6, or can barely make 315. Doesnt make sense, so I frequently call people on what they can lift and tell em to put it up or shut up.

obviously there are exceptions but I do believe there is alot of truth to it. I think this becomes a factor specially in heavier weight classes.

But if they really do have weaker joints, then how's come they can hang with pulls and squats?
there are always exeptions to the rules...

everyone has to admit, black guys have great genes for building muscle and being athletic.... so how come white guys, particular europeans totally dominate strength sports, such as wsm, olympic lifting and even power lifting.... field sports is a big mystery too, javelin ( which should be natural event ) shot put, discuss etc draws a blank, i cant understand it?
Ask Big Ron Coleman that question sir..

So you are saying that if blacks "wanted to' they would be the best at PLing ?

I hate to break it to you P......but blacks aren't the best at everything in the world like you think they are
Nope, not saying they the best at everything... but "we" do have a problem at being fatasses...so if those fatasses decided to powerlift....you'd might have a disproportionate of powerlifters being fatassed black men...and dying early...

Yep, because Ronnie, JOJ and Ben White, Chris Cormier just suck at pressing...then there is B. Pumper who did 500 for 1 at a bodyweight of 185...yep, he sucks at pressing...And then there are those dudes in prison, who do nothing but presses...

Black dudes, just aren't really interested in getting fat as hell and doing powerlifting...

I wasn't trying to offend your people, I was merely saying the majority of blacks have long dangly arms. Aside from the select few you have mentioned.

Not offended...I have normal length arms, I may even have the dreaded "T-Rex" arms, if I got them big enough...depends on what you go by, because if you look at most B-ball players, they have long dangley arms---but Mike Phelps has abnormally long arms....

i never stated just powerlifting, but strength sports as a whole,,, all the comments seem to regard money, theirs hundreds of big black dudes in and out of prison, working shitty jobs still training, only a small amount will have the ability and attitude to make in in your big pro sports..

bodybuilding is pretty much dominated by blacks, and theres no money to be had in it, so that arguments shit!

I was thinking of stoping slow max reps... because these guys do nothing but explosive training, they are equally skinny as I am, but taller and even have more fat than I have....... and they bench 200kg  :P, it's not fair :D

true power is not size, it's dense muscle fibers. Most big guys bodies look stressed out in away that they pump so hard for relatively so little strength at the end.

who says they bench 450 i dont believe it unless its in a shirt

Because mofos would rather lift weights AND look good, instead of powerlifting and strength sports AND look big and sloppy. Which would you rather look like---LLCool J, Michael Clark Duncan, Bob Sapp,  or Mark Henry Richard "Grizzly" Brown (who is dead and had a shitty diet)
Mark Henry and Grizzly Brown being the representatives for PLing a strength sports.

I can't see the vid via ma mobile phone, but I imagine that they got da bridge and da bounce going on, so if you make them do a competition style bench press with a full pause at the chest and ass in constant contact with the bench, it's fo' sure dat they drop at least 50 pounds, and maybe even 100 pounds.

you make your self out to be a complete and utter dumb-ASS, ya know that.

they are olympic gold competetors in throwing spears... lol...

yelena isinbaeva, pole vaulter, who weights little over 50kg can squat 130kg for a double without any equipment except belt.

olympic athletes are allways stronger than some sugar pump bodybuilders, and sometimes stronger than actual powerlifters.

you have no idea about anything clearly,

no need to be fat to be strong... the great pudz had an incredible physique, as did jon pol, countless others spring to mind too, so im not buying that one either

its not white trash to compete in olympic lifting or feild sports either, and dont give me ' brothers are too busy playing ball or football, or theres no money in it' as theres plenty of the fuckers running round the track at various distances...
