Title: Gymnasts
Post by: foodie on September 12, 2014, 04:29:10 AM
Stumbled upon a few gymnastic vids on YouTube. guys are jacked as hell. I'm of the opinion that many of them are drug free or on minimal amounts, because I've known a few guys irl, and they were all jacked and exceptional athletes even before puberty

They often look ripped and impressive when they perform. BUT, they are very small men overall.
1. They have very low body fat% and do high rep resistance training with a lot of constant tension.
This is very effective in building muscle and functional strength.
2. Most have very small legs with minimal quad mass.

Some former gymnasts and wrestlers that become outstanding bantam and Lt wt bodybuilders.

In HS I turned down a gymnast chick ::) because I thought she was too thickly built.  Wtf.  Someone should have slammed my head in those sliding bleachers.

It's fun watching gymnastics because it looks so easy after awhile.  I could do that.  Not as fast or as cool but I could do it.  Then you're outside trying to do a front lever on a tree limb and you just crumple.

When I was in grad school at UNC, I lived in a house with 2 varsity gymnasts and partied a few times with the team.

My friend, I will smash your head happily.

Gymnasts are strong for the same reason gorillas are strong.  They move themselves.  

Unlike bodybuilders (including Phil "The Graft" Heath) gymnasts are athletes.

I hadn't thought about her in ages.  Must be one of those repressed memories.  Pain of regret & such.  :'(

Guys who lift weights many times put down body weight exercises. In truth body weight exercises are incredible for working out. Any one who says it's too easy has never pushed them self.

As stated, mostly top flight male gymnasts are unusually small and also have minimal lower-body mass and. Muscular, yes, but nothing that can be described as mass or size.

Incredible athletes and tough as nails. Just hate how female gymnasts are treated. Too young, malnutrition and smoking used to keep them small and prepubescent. Male gymnasts especially guys who do rings look great. English celeb gymnast Louis smith or whatever his name is looks like butter.
