[wisconsinBB]

you cant compare bodybuilders to swimmers.  I will say though that michael phelps has way more muscle than quite of few of the "hardcore" guys here on getbig

It's the attitude I'm comparing.

[Hedgehog]

Swimming is low-resistance training, as wisconsin suggests.

So it can't really be compared, in terms of hours trained.

One thing which is interesting with Phelps, is to note that he trains much fewer hours than swimmers of the 80's and even the 90's.

Michael Gross would swim 90 minutes in the morning, 90 minutes mid day and 120 minutes in the evening.

6 days a week.

I'm calling bullshit on the calories.

Steven Keaton?

[Livewire]

Maybe he trains in arctic waters.

I think it's a certainty.

[theworm]

yeah but THAT IS ALL HE DOES.

try having a job 50 hours a week, work out 5 days a week for an hour each, through in 2-3 30min cardio sessions and planning buying 5-6 meals per day.  I think that is 100 times harder than swimming 20 hours a week.

Bluto works, works out 9 times a week, and is the most active poster on Getbig! No excuses!

[Tapeworm]

Steven Keaton?

Damn.  You are a true 80s man.

[Stark]

Everybody trains as hard as he can or wants to train, that's the beauty about this sport you don't let anybody down but yourself if you don't "pay your dues"
I know for a fucking fact that I trained legs hard today,

a) Because I couldn't walk the damn steps down and had to hold on to the railing with one hand.
b) Because every time I get up of my Office Chair I walk around like on crutches.

[The Squadfather]

bullshit, he eats NOWHERE NEAR 7,000-10,000 calories a day, more like 3500-4000 which is still a lot.

Steven Keaton?

Mallorie was hot.


Alex P Keaton was Gekko and Bateman before they even existed.

I have nothin bad to say about the dude's work ethic, but there's no way in hell he's eaten 10K calories a day......he'd be using that swimming pool as a toilet if he did.

[Stark]

Well I have to bro, I work this week from 16.00 - 02.30, gym closes at 11.00 as far as I know... I would love it if we had gyms that are open 24h like over at the states, I don't think I would always train at 02.30 but lol sometimes it would be cool maybe I get me a hoody zip it up and go to the gym like Frank in the animals "Guns" movie

[The Squadfather]

yes he does. i call bullshit on you calling bullshit

bullshit

they eat a lot of calories because they burn a lot of calories.

[Man of Steel]

If he's eaten 10K calories/day then Milos has 22" arms.

[The Squadfather]

hahahahaha, if the guy was eating 10K calories a day he'd ahve no time to train, he'd be eating half tha day and be on the toilet the other half.

[Bluto]

hahahahaha, if the guy was eating 10K calories a day he'd ahve no time to train, he'd be eating half tha day and be on the toilet the other half.

that's basically what he does:

"my eating regimen is really just to eat as much as i can all day. its hard for me to keep weight on, so its pretty much whatever i can get my hands on to shove down my throat. i get everything i need, but it's just a question of how much more i can put in after that"

"when im not sleeping or swimming, im constantly eating. its pretty much a full-time job"

michael phelps - first athlete to win eight medals (six gold) at a non-boycotted olympics: two-time olympian 2000, 2004, youngest male olympian since 1932.

[The Squadfather]

i'm still calling bullshit.

[Bluto]

and you all miss the point.

the point is - numerous athletes in numerous sports train hard as hell, many times 2-3 times a day for hours and hours. and eat WAY more than a bodybuilder.

yet we have bodybuilders making excuses for hitting the gym, worrying about overtraining, calling themselves hardcore and bitch about eating 5-6 meals a day.

thats why it's time to man the fuck up.
