>>76655366As a kid my dream was to become a sumo wrestler
And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will also gaze into you
>>76655366
>>76655366We both know much above like daniel cormier is just lower T. You have people using steroids before gaining 50lbs in 1yr and no the scale lies and if you adjust your diet to anything but hunger strength rest pump and cognitive function then youre doing it wrong. No wait op im gonna finally start trying to make a sick transformation and im not gonna get too fat theres no scientific data to be drawn from that if nothing else. Id main one way of benching for multiple weeks because i wouldnt get a pump and see how i developed youre a pussy.
People in Japan unironically see this and think "what a strong man"
>>76655366Planetary object
>>76656623I mean sumo wrestlers are considerably strong, they have to explosively move their massive weight around after all. They are also retarded fatsos who throw their lives away for the honor of slapping the tits of another lardass for a few seconds at a time
>>76656680Nah they definitely suck at training and just get fat instead of actually try to be as heavy as possible without lowering testosterone. Strength matters way more in wrestling/sumo even accounting for skill.
>>76656694sumo would be considerably cooler if all the wrestler looked like picrel instead of like giant babies, but you know japs are absurdly stubborn so they'll keep making children morbidly obese because of some stupid 'venerable tradition' or something

>>76655366>"20 seconds to heaven"
>>76656835Add a hairy chest and it's my step-dad.
>>76656694>surely the Japanese athletes and coaches in actual sumo don't know as much about sumo as this anon
>>76655366My man lost a LOT of weight after he retired. Don't know how he is now, though.Sumo isn't like other sports, because it's not really a sport, it's a way of life, and the wrestlers are basically living as an indentured servant to their sumo stable. Sumo depends a lot on individual initiative in training, and in eating to gain or maintain weight. Some wrestlers reach a fighting weight and stick with it, but some obviously go over the line, and Orora was one of them. The best fighters find a middle ground between weight, speed and mobility, but Orora didn't, which is why he never made it to the top.
>>76656835Hop on roids, eat 10,000 calories of raw fish, white rice, avocados, celery, carrots, ramen, beef, and chicken in one meal and workout for 5 hours a day. Easy bro
>>76658152Based
>>76656827OWWWWUU CHING-CHONG SAMA YOU BIGUU AS KING KONGU!!
>>76655366What an incredible athlete!
>>76656705lol the lowest ranked sumo would throw you to the ground in a second
>>76658659There's no shortage of footage of people who think they're strong trying to move a sumo wrestler and getting absolutely BTFO as they stand there and laugh. The wrestlers don't even take it seriously, because they can't: real sumo is so rough that they can't even do a real tachiai against these people out of fear of hurting them.That said, a lot of them train like retards or don't actually cultivate an optimal physique. Only recently have I begun to see more widespread adoption of conventional resistance training. But there's no arguing with the results of eating a lot and training a lot.
>>76658771The top wrestlers are massive too. They are giants
>>76656694And yet they throw you across the room with one hand
>>76656705>they'll keep making children morbidly obeseJapanese people love staying in shape and dieting with obese people being the source of ridicule. Most rikishi aren't drafted until high school and before that they might be in the sumo equivalent of the Little Leagues. And most of them come from Mongolia these days
>>76655366Morbidly obese. He had to retire because of health issue taking the bulk too far, though I think he's cut a considerable amount of weight since then. >>76658152Bless.>>76658771I've heard that the stables that have been using conventional resistance training significantly cut down the lengthy calisthenics component of their training regimens so they can put more emphasis on the sparring and develop strength without relying on their rikishi turning into fat fuck butterballs to get stronger.From what I see in most of the sumo stable channel on YouTube the rikishi nowadays seem to be around 300-350 lbs for the heavier guys. I seldom see them pushing past that anymore.
>>76656623People that don't use drugs and are strong are fat. Bodybuilder physique is only possible with insane genetics and drugs
>>76656623No, he was a meme wrestler in the lower divisions.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F73nrSRuqEcThe top division's best wrestlers are usually around 350-400 lbs, size IS an advantage in sumo but to a certain degree and you still need mobility and strength and technique and even cardio.
for context this is what a high level sumo match looks like
>>76660153Ura next yokozuna
>>76658771>Only recently have I begun to see more widespread adoption of conventional resistance training.I always chuckle when I hear sumo people say "they eat a very nutritious diet because they eat a lot of chanko nabe which contains a lot of veggies" . From what I've seen on YouTube, they engorge in rice, pasta and fried shit.
>>76656848Yes their skin colors range from ghastly white to pretty brown
>>76660162would be sooner, if he hadn't exploded his knees twice
>>76660170Chanko is what they have with the rest. Its probably the only way they get any vegetation in their diet.
>>76660153based Ura
>>76660170It's more like they eat whatever the fuck they can to fill their caloric surplus, but it usually ends up being rice, meat, and beer. Not a bad way to live, other than dying at 50 with broken knees. I wonder how the rice crisis is affecting them.
>>76658079Can I f*ck your step dad?
>>76660153Mirin the horse legs on the blue chigga
>>76660245They had to change that due to the high mortality rate, there's now less pressure on weight gaining and they try to keep their diets slightly more balanced
>>76656469SameEven as an Eastern Euro kid I saw the sumo wrestlers on tv and whatever, and thought they're the coolest shit in the world.
>>76655366quad boob
>>76659889>>76658771There's a few videos of them at modern gyms (if youtube wasn't such an indian shit these days I could find it easily), and the higher ranks tend to train privately at modern gyms as well, but there's something chill and comfy about them training in the old ways and just guys being dudes.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NCmtO6jZ6Isumo is still very much a religious ritual and cultural festival (no girls allowed, magical water & purifying salt, etc.) disguised as a combat sport
>>76661699the traditionalism of sumo really frustrates me when these 500 lb japs tumble off the arena and get career ending injuries like just make it a flat arena man
>>76661699Here's somehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Qi9c4pPqDAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaTjkX_vHbYThere's also a couple of minutes of Hakuho training with weights here around 4:30https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XApsMOJyB9UI sweat there was more footage but jesus christ modern youtube>EDDIE HALL>AI SLOP>SHORTS>JUJIMUFU>SHORTS>SHORTS>SHORTS>BRIAN SHAW>SHORTS>SHORTS>SHORTS>RANDOM SPORTS SCIENCE GUY ON SOME BULLSHIT I DIDN'T ASK ABOUT>MORE AI SLOP>MORE SHORTS>JOE ROGAN LOOK AT A THING
>>76661783No, please, no.There's already Amateur Sumo/World Sumo, where they allow women and all sorts of other genders, and all they do is playfully shove each other around on gym mats with cut-out pool foam noodles instead of rice straw bales. You can't even slap each other under those rules.Half the appeal of Sumo as a combat sport is that it's basically an ancient form of MMA like ancient Pankration or Lei Tai.
>>76660480>f*ckNo.
>>76661868I've seen one "modern" sumo match and it looked fucking stupid; no dohyo, no gyoji, women allowed in the ring, no audience, no atmosphere, no tradition. What's the point?
>>76661907I think it's some sort of closed loop of youtube clickbait>We trained with HUGE and EPIC Sumo wrestlers!!!!>*bunch of overweight latinxs with tattoos*and the "gyoji" is just some fuckin guy wearing a bowtie looking like he deals blackjack at a casino.no tachi-ai either (charging into each other as soon as both fists touch the ground)It's like Olympic karate where the one guy lost the match for karate-punching his opponent too hard. Modern world nonsense.
>>76655366Big chungus
>>76660623They haven't gotten the memos. They ate still eating junk
>>76661868They also train like retards, no rest days, no healing treatment, just pain killers, just to live another day, and they don't care about prevention, if you get fucked up, you're on your own and they just keep moving without do
>>76655366Zoidburg
>>76662052and that's a good thing.Injured and sitting out? Your rank plummets. Only the Yokozuna are allowed the luxury of pulling out of tournaments or skipping them entirely for recovery without being demoted. So long as they perform to Yokozuna standards at the next tournament.
>>76661783So fuck off to ama sumo shit, you disgusting pussy.
>>76662042They're also recovering better after retiring
>>76661949It's almost like gentrification, standardized sport safety bullshit and modern sensibilities are antithetical to sumo.
>>76662115Playing while broken's kinda shit too
>>76660647Yeah. I'm from Brazil and experienced the same thingPlus I loved Honda from Street Fighter
>>76662289yeah, though I will say that it is still ridiculous that there isn't a backstage or at least nearby backstage medic. There was that one wrestler that snapped his neck in the middle of the ring and it took like 8 minutes of officials and those assistant boys standing around until he was finally carried out.It looked like city workers standing around a pothole all "yup, that's a pothole - sorry the road's closed and we can't do anything until we get the okay from our boss and he's on his third lunch break"sped up, it looked like Benny Hill.
>>76662115It's rough, man. They put everything on the line

>>76662598>former Ozeki>not high level
>>76660114Even with drugs and genetics the strongest guys are all fat.Looking at strongmen btw
>>76660209>>76656848Asians are brown. All of themMakeup doesn't change your race
>>76658771Are you Japanese?
>>76662624Asians are actually black. The original Asians were black.
>>76661798>sweat there was more footage but jesus christ modern youtubeDamn so true. YouTube will be unwatchable in a few years
>>76662654I routinely have to search youtube externally ("thing I want to find" site: youtube.com) on search engines since youtube search is a schizophrenic nightmare>in a few yearsI admire and appreciate your optimism, for me it's like a few more months with all these constantly updated community guidelines and youtubers constantly speaking in coded language about "watching corn" and "unalived himself" and fake blood & fake gore being treated the same as real mexican beheading videos and how the AI Bot 9000 was deployed to judge your viewing habits and if you give it the ick then it assumes you're under 18 and you need to give it your driver's license or credit card info, etc.You have all these fitness influencers and sports scientists who have to censor "roids" "steroids" "gear" "drugs" etc when using someone else's instagram or tik tok footage. Like saying the name of a thing is just as bad as doing the thing and promoting it because AI Bot 9000 doesn't understand context.
>>76662680Yeah I've had terrible experience trying to search for old videos. Sometimes even typing the exact name of the video isn't enough
>>76662327It's some weird cultural difference partially where you're supposed to power through an injury, and partially where any alteration on tradition is difficult to implement. Far as I can tell they can only have it dealt with once they leave
>>76662327>is still ridiculous that there isn't a backstage or at least nearby backstage medic.That's gay. This is a sport for warriors
