Why do people think bodybuilders are weak? Is that just a cope by ss/sl lifers? Is it possible to be muscular and be weak as fuck?
>>76808828Because normies are incapable of understanding cns adaption.A bodybuilder is weaker than a powerlifter in maximum strength, but the bodybuilder can do 30 reps of 100 kg, while the powerlifter with a 180 kg bench can't do more than 15 reps before his arms give up.
>>76808828why does every asian bitch have that physique? emiru is an example.
>>76808828Because a lot of modern bodybuilders train like absolute bitches, this wasnt a paradigm in the 2000's and early 2010's until people started looking into the training regiments of the retards who were around the mid 2010's and found out they all train with bitch weights. Just look at Nick Walker.
>>76809117that's what humans used to look like
>>76808828Most bodybuilders are very strong but training for peak strength comes with injury risk and more wear and tear which could potentially ruin their career or cut it short.
>>76808828they heard how people tell that strongmen and powerlifters are stronger than bodybuilders, which is true.In their narrow minds they decided that guy slightly weaker than someone focueed 100% on strength is weak, despite the fact that he is probably still 5x as strong as non training guy
>>76809114This>>76809133However this is also true. You can have both, but most don't bother.>how>5×4 of your highest working load>10×4 of 75% of your highest working load>20×2 of 50% of your highest working loadTrain max strength, hypertrophy, and enduance in one session.
Iain Valliere benched 500 for reps before he even was a pro, later pulled 800 and did 675 for reps on the dl, Akim Williams has an 800+ squat and deadlift, Hollingshead squats near 700 for reps.
>>76808828It is impossible to be strong without being big. Muscle volume and 1RM significantly correlate. You just have to specifically train for 1RM to get the biggest 1RM
>>76808828Bodybuilders are relatively weak for their size because they train to maximize muscle growth, not strength. You’ll never see a weak bodybuilder, but you might see a 250 lb mass monster struggling to rep 2pl8 on benchStrength is a function of muscle size, CNS adaptations, and “skill” (doing the lift often and heavy). Bodybuilders have #1 but not #2 and #3. That said, they could get crazy strong in < 6 months if they decided they wanted to
>>76809709Not true.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l84vmuuuHRgAnd theres a few dozen "popular" guys who are massively strong compared to how they look on IG. Zach Moves Mass being one of the few I remember (deactivated and taking a break from social media or I'd look up the rest)
>>76808828It's relative to size and weight. A 200 pound powerlifter is going to be way stronger in the big 3 than a 200 pound bodybuilder. But the bodybuilder will have God-like strength compared to a normie the same weight.
>>76808828Blame youtube fitness
>>76809799The guy in the pick isn't small though, he is just really lean and only trains bench, he has a big chest but no leg or arms. Zach Moves Mass is similar as but only does powerlifts and rarely shows a picture of his body. His back looks big particularly around the erectors: https://www.instagram.com/p/C3ybRs4LRXW/?hl=en
