lol that people still think bodybuilders are somehow better fighters as a result of their extra mass.
My former 185lbs self would kick the shit out of my current 220lb lethargic ass.
If a guy is naturally big and muscular, that is different. Gaining extra muscles in the gym is hardly
a good way to go about being a better fighter. Lean and mean, with increased strength via the CNS
is what would make a better fighter. There's a reason guys like GSP train like Oly lifters instead of
bodybuilders.
Training to fight is what makes you a good fighter. A 145lb boxer would wipe the floor with a 230+lb
bodybuilder with no fight training.
well it's obvious that training to fight would make you a better fighter, but i doubt you'd be fighting UFC guys very frequently. against the average drunk fool in a bar, i'd imagine your increased mass would definitely help. not to mention the aggression/strength advantages from aas.
on another note i don't see why boxing would be mutually exclusive to bodybuilding, maybe not professional-level boxing but i imagine learning to properly throw a few basic punches and doing enough cardio to not get winded after 5 seconds would go a long way in those types of situations.
i carry a ccw but plan to learn at least a bit of martial arts to defend myself
