your face when you realize gymnasts strive for small muscles (=high power-to-weight) ratio and still end up looking like this.

That bicep pump looks straight up painful

he's probably gonna tear it a few times in his career

>constant static and eccentric contractions
>wonders why gymnasts have huge muscles

They don't really have huge muscles though. Their biggest muscles are going to be biceps and core. The biceps do a lot more than just pull on a chin up, they are necessary for the static holds. Everything else will look meh in comparison if they only do gymnastics (naturally of course)

that too. but my friends who were in gymnastic in HS didn't look like that because they were natty. gymnastics are great don't get me wrong, but op's looking at it wrong, they're not striving for a certain look they're just trying to master the movements.

Post yfw you realise they don't have legs

I love it when people act like lifting weights is the only way to aquire aesthetics.
>>35476014
They train like crazy. And stunts and flippies make your body hella strong. It's a whole different ballgame from weights.
> stunting your growth though...
>>35476131
I love when people act like becoming a high-level gymnast is a more realistic alternative
>>35476360
Not stunting. Taller guys get weeded out because they cant flip and tumble. Just like girls gymnastics, there is a huge premium on small size.

AND MAYBE ALSO BECAUSE YOUR FRIENDS WEREN'T OLYMPIANS AND TRAINING FOR 8 HOURS EVERY DAY.
Jesus Christ if you think any athlete gets to the highest level by only training as much as a high schooler, you are fucking retarded.

curl bro/10
Top level also roid and train from childhood, not to take away from there accomplishments I just mention it because gymnastics alone aren't going to help your average 20 year old get shredded
It's because they're all under five feet tall.
