I don't understand how body builders look bigger than strongmen, yet are weaker.
How?
Do some research, then. Duh?

How dumb are you? The best strongmen have a lot more muscle, in the neighborhood of 10-20 more pounds of pure muscle, than JM, in addition to a lot more fat.
They also focus on training compound movement specific to their sport, rather than doing pump routines like JM probably does. Strongmen with a high bodyfat percentage have more accessible energy resources than someone who is extremely lean.
>>35594775
Although muscle size and strength are correlated, it is not a perfect 1:1 correlation.
That's why hypertrophy training for bodybuilding aka 8-12 reps and powerlifting (low reps) are different. Strongmen are a similar case.
Performance =/= Size
Although obviously if you get stronger you'll most likely get bigger.

Thoughts on this chocolate man? What do you front squat?

nice thread senpai
>>35595832
Source to confirm if trip is real? Love your shit btw senpai, your video on needing more reps than sets for hypertrophy has helped me
>>35596725
it's real, he posted time stamps and shit yesterday.
witnessed
>>35596725
Is legit. There is a timestamp in another thread
>>35594775
How does that retard only manage to look like a natty at their peak but slightly more vascular after being on steroids for that long?
>>35595856
Pause looked good, but that was a pretty shit front squat desu. Looked like a lot of rounding.
>>35596725
Thanks man!
I'm glad you found it useful.
>>35595856
That's insane, the weight is good for 1 rep, let alone a pause that feels like it lasts for infinity.
I don't front squat. I've never learnt the proper technique and unlike back squat, you can't really teach yourself via YouTube videos. I've always wanted to take a couple lessons in Olympic lifting and learn. Legit front squatting 135 is hard for me. I have like 0 balance and fall over.
Troll thread is troll, but I'll bite
Professional strongmen all weigh in excess of 120kg easily. They have a shit load more mass than bodybuilders, just a lot higher bodyfat.
>>35594775
Quite simply most of them don't. Most strongmen are much, much bigger than most bodybuilders.
>>35599619
Alot of bodybuilders are also manlets or average height.

>you can't really teach yourself via YouTube videos
I taught myself how to front squat via YouTube videos, olympic rack position.

Arnie at competition weight was 105kg at 188cm.
Manlet bodybuilders BTFO.

Hypertrophy vs strength
It's also body weight vs weight lifted
I'm more impressed by 120lb scrawny Asian deading 300lb than 450lb fatso deadlifting 500lb
>>35600715
Arnie was never legit 188cm. He's 6ft max.
>>35599593
It requires core strength and flexibility. The power should come from the hips, but that's also where most muscle tightness is.
Per center of gravity, the counter balance should be the ass, probably.
>>35600920
I was quoting from Wikipedia, so it could be wrong.
Strongman stats came from WSM site.

Are you crazy? Strongmen are bigger (and taller) than bodybuilders
>>35601405
They're also much fatter.
>>35601440
Some are, some aren't. Most strongmen could cut some weight and look ripped in a few months. No bodybuilder could do anything Strongmen can do, unless they dedicate many years to their training regime.
>>35601514
That's fat

> those leg veins
Are you kidding?
