hey genius didn't you know that powerlifters and o-lifters have some of the fastest 40s and highest verticals.

The O -lifters kept pace with the olympic sprinters in the 40

I think that they shouldn't have problems keeping up with NFL players LOL

Hey genius, were talking about bodybuilders. Usually powerlifters and olympic lifters are train more funtionally. Look dude I prepare athletes for combines every year....in other words, I do this shit for a living so I know what I speak!

Those are decent numbers for a guy your size. But when your training changed to bodybuilding, I would have assumed it slowed you down and lateral runs were much more difficult and would probably leave you injury prone.

In one word, NO.

Unless they have prior experience they could only hope to be a lineman cause everything else requires alot of athletic skill and knowlegde that can't be learned by lifting weights or eating right. An example is troy polamalu from the steelers, he doesn't lift anything over 40lbs, all he does is conditioning and on the feild training and drills with light dumbell work and he's a pro bowl safety.

Yes, although my speed is still under 5, I was going to try out for the arena football team in Orlando in 2002.(What was I thinking?!) I pulled my hamstring after like 5 sprints. Yes, too fucking old.....

I was thinking...
SO bodybuilders, as most of us are, in the amateur level- you all know what goes into it; Instense training, dieting (eating healthy primarily, with high amounts of proteins), and in most cases alot of cardio.

In many cases, bodybuilder ARE athletes..I picked football, but I should throw in BOXING too, and if anyone can find a similar sport thats closely related to bodybuilding- please add-

Instead of killing themselves to be pros, couldnt they easily get to the NFL? Well, not easily, but you know what I mean. The tools are there, dedication to physical training, dedication period. ALot of pro athletese hardly hit the gym it seems..I guess its mostly talent..

DOnt mention the gear because im saying hypthetically, someone who decides there is no future in pro bodybuilding, and decides to put their hard work and passion towards trying to make it in another venue, like boxing, maybe fighting? Or in the NFL..

ANd if this is a dumb ass though, you have permission to say so.lol.. Isnt it true though? Bodybuilders, AND fitness competitors, and female bodybuilders true athletes, that could compete in any sport.

It will help with increased strength and stamina, but you acquire no skill development particular to the sport in the gym.

And don't think for a minute that it's easy to make the nfl. Most BBers will cry like a girl if they get hit from a pro lineman.

fast motherfuckers tend to put on the most muscle because of the majority fast twitch muscles, any running back in the NFL could be a top bodybuilder if they juiced.

Many running backs are too thick in the midsection to be impressive onstage, in my opinion.

shiftedShapes · « **Reply #46 on:** May 09, 2006, 05:12:01 PM »

yep thick joint structures too. A lot of them are also too tall

freaky maybe, but not asthetic
