Black vs White vs Asian vs Mexican guys in the gym

[Man of Steel]

Mexican is a nationality people not a race.  Mexico is a racially diverse country so you can't assume all Mexicans look the same.  Maybe the Mexicans from the U.S. which are mostly Amerindian so label them by their race. If you want to compare races then pick Amerindian, mestizo, or white mexican (mostly spanish blood) Meditarrenean subrace genetics these are three main racial categories for the United Mexican States.  

Look, just call everyone Americans and be done with it....if you're born here you're are American.  Although, the descendants of Mexican/Latino/Spanish/Hispanic/Chicano/etc....in South Texas seem to follow what I observed.

Thats exactly why STEREOTYPES are a fallacy, O' dingus of steel.

Bullshit, past "stereotypes" are definite classes of people now.

[chaos]

All races are diverse. Have you guys ever traveled ?

West Africans and people of West African decent tend to follow the stereotypes you guys describe.
Ever seen a Kenyan sprinter or a West African Marathon runner ?

Same phenomen in Asia and Europe. Over thousands of years adaptation and natural selection has created people that are adjusted to their environment. Regions were swimming used to be important for survival happen to produce many good swimmers, highlands produce great runners and so on.

Places like the US, where most people are imigrants are obviously different - except if they all come from the same place  (West Africa in the case of most African Americans)

oh brother

[fearANDloathing]

Most brothers have pretty big quads and hams *see world class sprinters*- so the "tooth pick" leg thing you are referring to is probably calves. Even having trained them hard for YEARS mines are only mediocre 

[Bear]

This is a just an observation in most gyms I've trained in:

Black guys have tremendous upper bodies attached to toothpick legs.
Asian guys have great thighs attached to a 10-yr old cub scout's upper body.
Mexican guys train chest and biceps 99% of the time throwin in a few sets of leg ext. for the other 1%.
White guys typically train everything but are often not as conditioned as Blacks, Asians or Mexicans.


Sound about right?

I read the first bit and the examples that came to mind were Cormier and Coleman, both famous for great legs.

I read the second bit and thought of Dim, famous for great upper body and bad legs.

All in all, bad thread.

All serious lifters of all nationalities obviously try and train everything equally.
Hide Yamagashie (?) and Johnnie Jackson are not the only black and Asian bodybuilders.

The thread is about the majority, not exceptions.  Please don't tell me you think most blacks have great legs??

Most black dudes that I have trained with or seen in the gym have good leg development. Not huge. Plus having extremely huge legs are not good for running or playing sports, or everyday life. Having descent sized one's are. I was told by several women that women like a dude with a big upper body, with descent legs, the only thing that should be big down there is one's tool. That is what they said.

That modeling pic of Flex Wheeler a while back (in white briefs) I think is a perfect example of good or just right quad development...

On that note, I have noticed that the Samoans (the very few that I have seen) are just huge mounds of flesh, general big fat guys...but friendly as hell.

i have worked out with some samoan dudes..in general they are insanely strong. fat and strong!

and yes if your not gonna be a competitive bodybuilder...umpa lumpa legs is ugly as hell....(well even if you are a competitive bodybuilder). im not saying you should have stick legs..but legs that make you waddle and an ass that makes you walk like a duck..looks like shit.

Personally, I think guys that take up bodybuilding to try and get women are ridiculous.

As for samoans, yeah they're huge but you'll never see one that's lean.

Hahahahaha yes I see nothing unusual here!!!

Black guys get the upper from constant rowing on merchant ships and picking cotton

Asian guys get the wheels from dragging katuks around the cities all day at 10mph

Mexican guys get the chest and bis from puffing out their chest 24 hours a day, and walking like they are carrying heavy luggage!!!

I have a question for the people in the US..

If you see a Dominican or Argentinian working out, Do you see them (put in the same group) as mexican race?



Thanks.

Well as for Dominicans the ones I see are black or of African descent (and come in just a wide variety of color's as African Americans), many do not consider themselves black, but if you go by any Dominican hair salon, the chicas working there are "black". Look at the freaking country and the Island of Hispanola. Truth be told there were million of African slaves brought there both in Haiti and the Dominican Republic, sooo...I gues the majority of them would be black.

Argentinians are often though of as the Euro's of Hispanics and get made fun of by other Latino groups for not having that much "flava"...hell when you let  Nazis flee to you country and are Nazi symphathizers, I gues that is Euro enough for them to fit in. That being said, Argentinians are like Americans, various different enthnicities.

True.

I once had the chance to see the Stones in concert in Mexico and believe me they were thousands of mexicans there nothing like the mexicans you see in the US (California)

It's not like blacks,whites or Asians.... its abit different when you actually travel to "those Miguelito's Hispanics" countries.

I think siting some of the most famous examples of both ethnicities in the bodybuilding world is no more ridiculous than using examples of a couple of guys you saw down the gym.

The way I see it most of the Olympia top 10 are usually black with gret legs. Shawn Ray is another of the elites from the past 10 years. Dexter Jackson etc, none of these guys struggle with their legs. Leo Ingram blah blah. You don't look at Armin Schultz and say all whiteys have no legs do you? I have black and white friends with small normal guy legs. Look at sprinters both black and white have great legs.

[Rearden Metal]

I've never seen a mexican on a leg press.

When I lived in NY, my gym was predominately Mexican in membership. Other than the fact that they smelled, wore the same clothes everyday, stared at me, stared at my wife and trained like morons, they were fairly awesome.

In bold contrast was this one latin guy, didn't speak much english but was always polite to me and others, averted his eyes from our women and trained hard and consistent. I'll give him props for coming to another country and making a serious effort to get somewhere. The sooner the rest of them leave, the better.

[Paul Allen]

the American welfare system and overall goodwill makes these otherwise normal humans (african americans , mexicans, whatever) into gangbangers and lazy moochers.

i've travelled to a few countries, and am short of shocked by how different their behavior in their home country is.

white guilt and reward of laziness in america is the problem for their behavior, not their skin color.  i find it hard to believe that a mexican who works 16 hours a day has time to wear / afford baggy jeans and do crime.  same with blacks.  the couple of black guys and hispanics that work with me were raised in non welfare, legal families and abhore these people more so than us whites.  but they are few and far between , sadly.

Don't get me wrong, some of my best friends are Mexican men and they're all great fvckin guys.    There's always gonna be an exception to the rule.....the majority of posts in the thread point towards a random exception, but that 1% exception (and that's a generous percentage) are nothing compared to the true masses of each race that I described.

You should read my previous posts on this thread.  Mexican is not a race who the hell told you this b.s.?  Mexican is a nationality don't portray it as a race.  Nationalities do not equal race.

Pro bodybuilders, sprinters... of course these guys will have great legs.  BUT the majority are not pro bodybuilders or sprinters.
