why are blacks so poor at strength sports???

[slaver]

no cash or hoes in it

[Option D]

I have no idea what this means.

I think you're asking me if I had coffe, but I cant understand why you would which makes me confused

Magic was the only person that was able to Franchise Starbucks coffee.. He owned a shit load of them

[geneticmarvel]

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.

Still, doubt he can do 12-15 reps with 315- which he should theoretically be able to do with a 450lb "bench press"

I know what you're saying and i agree with what you're saying... I don't see him doing that either, but you know you could be wrong... dana white could bench 3 plates for couple a reps with puffy cheeks, i don't see how tero couldn't, but, yeah I see your point.

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.

yeah i know... doing high reps with relatively big weights is more impressive for sure... but it requires shit loads of energy to maintain that stamina... lol I'm talking like a dbz fan

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.

Stength sports == $00.00 == 0 popularity

Blacks can not bench. Does any black dude hold a bp record?

My good friend holds the national raw record in the bp (under 23, 125kg weight class)
He also holds the deadlift record in the weight class.

He also holds the deadlift record in the 110kg weight class.

....novice to the sport, just 7 months!!  So more to come!!

[dj181]

Ok man, that's cool, but the MAJORITY of bp records are HELD BY WHITE DUDES. And as far as squats and deads go, da black man certainly holds his own, and dats fo damn sure

Blacks arent good at pressing movements simply because they have long dangly arms.

Are we talking about Good ol' Rum here 

[Firemuscle]

 Smoking crack and drinking 40s will make your strength drop down quick.

[HTexan]

NFL = no strength required

Boxing = no strength required

AAron and **Bonds** are home run Kings but.... no strength required

You see where I'm going with this right?

Powerlifting is just not that appealing to most of us so you guys can have it.
Now shut the fuck up before we take that too!

Lol
Stealing sports isn't very nice tho. 

[Parker]

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...

[dj181]

Come on Parker, not all powerlifters are fatasses. In fact most guys in the 165's to 198's are quite strapped

[benchmstr]

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?

because blacks have no tolerance for pain at all....

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

i beg to differ....no one avoids child support like black dudes...in a class by themselfs!!!!!!

I have read that one reason is that they in general have a lighter bone structure (being explosive is not enough),  I also think it's a cultural thing to some degree.

bone struture is a real thought...they do tend to have small, weaker joints...


cultural too...cause as said before....no threshold for pain at all...

[dj181]

But if they really do have weaker joints, then how's come they can hang with pulls and squats?

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.

there are always exeptions to the rules...
