How come 0% of modern bodybuilding routines are spend on the torso except for abs? ALL lifting routines are focused on arms, chest, shoulder, back, with minor add on for legs and abs, but the torso itself (the largest section of the body) is neglected?
All these "jacked" dudes at my local gym and social media always seem so unathletic and disproportionate to me, and I finally pinpointed why
>>
>>76929558
because normally you avoid it to accentuate your v taper.
>>
Cause you look less aesthetic if you over develop your core. Look at the build CrossFit fags all get where they look like a fridge
>>
Bodybuilding programmes are not the same as the sort of training that athletes would undertake. They follow regimes that allow them to excel in their sport where they are already top class. Bodybuilding is different to that in that you aren’t already good at it. A rugby or NFL player might end up being very large and strong but he started out by learning the game first. He isn’t good at those sports because he’s enormous, he’s good at them because he’s good at them but he also needs to be (in certain positions) massive and powerful to compete. The bodybuilder doesn’t have that same journey or requirement. It’s a different thing

The best way to think about it is that if you had exactly the same physique as (pick swimmer, martial artist, team sport player) you wouldn’t be capable of competing with them. But if you had exactly the same physique as Mr Olympia you too could be Mr Olympia
>>
>>76929558
because bodybuilding is about looking pleasing to other men (which is incredibly gay) and has nothing to do with feats of strength like powerlifting or competing in an organized sport. so it prioritizes a snatched waist and v-taper
>>
>>76929558
Bodybuilding is a beauty pageant to make you look like a circus freak because some strange subculture of gay men fetishizes that
>>
>>76929594
That is absolutely fucking wrong though lol. If you put me in the body of an NFL defensive lineman I would be way fucking better than he is. A lot of these guys are legitimately borderline retarded or illiterate. They are absolutely chosen for their rare physical attributes. A lot of these guys get scholarships when they are like 15 just because they are huge and can move their feet.
>>
>>76929639
No you wouldn’t because you aren’t a football player. You weren’t a football player in college or high school. If it was that shrimple then the NFL would literally go to WSM contests and regional equivalents and just hire the entire entrance list, but they don’t as for some strange reason you need to be good at football to play it

How did europeans achieve this physique with 0 roids???
BWC genetics. Its over for ethnics

No you wouldn’t you moron

A thick torso "fridge" physique has ALWAYS been more aesthetic, we have just been psyoped by literal faggots via modern bodybuilding culture and social media to wanting a homoerotic effeminate little waist for them to grab onto when they pound your ass

I'm sure that's why all the obese people in the usa aren't linemen

I can't judge harshly because he obviously has a great physique and mogs me

But

Really? This is your favorite physique?
>>
Hadi Choopan has the most shredded midsection in the history of mankind, that's his signature, and has been 1st or 2nd at the Olympia since 2022. Personally I think he got Jewed for being Iranian and should have at least one more title but it's not because midsections are underrated.

>>76929759
yes don't get me wrong I think prime arnold looked good too, but even he had a relatively thick/strong looking midsection

>>76929558
Thick core isn't bad, it just means you aren't stimulating growth in chest/shoulders/back enough while obviously technique is the bottleneck since growth in abs and usually also from heavy leg work. I'm trying to look like this but a sicker chest. The bodybuilder slow reps work for them to a point because they're actually mmcing the muscle but rely on machines and cables and lack raw strength so it just doesn't look so strong. Then you have heavy lifters who have no hypertrophy because they don't wanna lift light weights and hit different muscles or lift so often the weight goes down but size goes up.
>>
>>76929558
I actually enjoy lowering the weight after heavy sets of incline/ohp to focus on core and target stabilizer muscles. Weirdly strict back squats over any other legs also hits upper abs and shit. Shout out to putting the weight on your upper abs on flat bench narrow skullcrushers with a neutral grip bar.

>unathletic
Most people are not into sports that much. Just lifting for a physique for gorls. I like lifting to lift heavy and then do the gay ass athletic shit later, you can't do 100% of your sets like some mma fighter doing some 15lb cable punches and think youre gonna progress much from that you get the idea. You should see my physique shits pretty sick, ribcage looks way thicker from this.
>>
>>76929558
I've been trying to build serratus anterior, lats, chest, and thick abs forna while. Turns out I'm super weak at making abs difficult like putting the weight behind your head and holding it far out. Lat bar stiff arm tricep pushdowns are what I probably need more of, underhand is not easy.
>>
>>76929558
y'know how there's that pic that says "untrained Chad - Gymmaxxed incel" or something of the sort? that but without the core is what happens
Most peeps tryna be lookn like Brad Pitt or have that superhero pizza body without the fundations to ever obtain it
so they neglect muscles tryn to get close n give the same feel with no real succes.
So not only they waste their time, get injured, unbalance their physique, their mental health gets wacky, they look shit, they snap their shit moving grandma's coffin
but they actively work for that, their hips look wider and core looks soft and effeminate, they roid in desperation which only accentuates what makes them look shit, etc. t's a big "crashing head first into what you wanna run from" scenario

But they sell solutions to problems you don't have to and can't fix, which get real issues they also sell solutions for going, so there's forever coins to get taloned in

NFL is run by gatekeeping boomers who unironically believe "hes strong because hes black he just is ok"
They actually believe this, I have seen it, its all of them.
Its a weird sort of 90s racism where Whites are smart and blacks are strong/fast by virtue of skin color.

You wouldnt think a billion dollar industry would be like this, but you also wouldnt think the preeminent nuclear superpower would elect a cheeto and a zombie back to back.
These teams leave a lot on the table because of outdated racist beliefs.
The NFL is run by racist idiots, and not racist in a good way like TND, racist in a bad way like muh heckin based black man.
t. worked in the logistical side of the NFL

The amount of successful retards is astounding. You only need drive and low inhibition to succeed socially
>>
>>76932081
Drive, a nice caring attitude and aware of the multiple normie personas to appeal to them. Social success in current society is successfully faking excitement, compassion and lying about almost everything. Its what gets you a good job. Competence is rarely a factor.

The penis has broken off, no way to check the size. Do you need glasses?

True, unfortunately, this is also leaking into Euro sports for the last decade or so.Oh wait, 2015 that was the refugee crisis, what a coincidence.

No, not WSM, they would just pay out all the big white boys in track. Anything a NFL guy can do in combine, a shot putter can do better, A LOT better.

But as the other Anon said, shot putters are whites. Which means NFL isn't interested. Skill at football isn't really that important either if you have the right skin color. You'll get re-trained on the job anyway.
