More somali guys need to hit the gym

[Cartan Boos]

I don’t know how you can look at 100 Somali’s and say our body is suited to be muscular. Lean yes, but not muscular. That’s just a fact of life. We don’t have the Eastern European frame etc. skinny is definitely not ideal, but every one can be lean and athletic which is fine. But muscular and big is very hard. There’s a ceiling for every different race,it is what it is. It’s no excuse to be lazy fat or weak, saying all that.

Not everyone of us are the same stop the generalization and cope

Smh, I completely disagree with you. 2/5 somali guys are stocky, they need to hit the gym.

Its genetics you cant change it. We have less dense bones due to our evolution we're naturally skinny. No amount of gym gona change ur skeleton structure

Wtf is this guy on, holy copium

Somalis do have advantage when it comes to the gym, skinny to muscular is the easiest way to get big and also we normally don’t put on that much fat

I agree. Honestly the really skinny abdis I know grew up neglected. They were in a home with like 5+ other siblings and didn't get the chance to eat big portions of food for most of their childhood.

I was skinny and fat growing up. I was eating 3 solid meals a day for all of my teen years. I was never thin during my teens. Once I started working at the age of 18 one of the first things I purchased was a gym membership. I was lean and ripped after my first year in the gym.
My parents didn't hassle me for lacag once I started working so all I did was spend my money on was food, gym, games, and clothes.

This was honestly me. I was very very skinny to the point where I looked sick at 10 years old. Broke my leg severely at the age of 13 and had 2 operations and was bedridden for 1 year and gained minimum 20 kilos. Went from being 45 kilos to 65 kilos. As soon as I went back to school at the age of 14 lockdown hit and I was again dashed in my home inactive gained another 15 kilos and then became 80 kilos. Atp i was scared for my health. I then stopped eating snacks and my weight is now at 68 kilos at 19. (Lost 12 kilos). I still look a bit hench but at least it wasnt the figure it was before.

For women this is a completely different story. Walaal I can drink water and gain 1 kilo from 1 sip. If I had the necessities to eat whatever I could best believe id either be dead right now or be on my 600 pound life

Some guys will be Cato into their teens and early 20s unless they eat 5-6 days, go gym almost every day and follow a strict diet. A lot of these Somali teens play soccer/basketball all the time and have naturally skinny bodies, so they’re not going to put on weight too quickly specially if they’re expanding all their energy playing sports. They’re basically operating at a caloric surplus and eat a bit of bastion/rice with a tiny amount of hilib/chicken.

after 22 years of age though, anyone can get lean and relatively jacked in the western world. That said, it looks longer for Somalis to achieve what some AA and Congolese look like simply by them doing prison calisthenics. So, yes there is an element of genetics as to how big Somalis can get.

No they aren't . Most of these skinny hoopers are only eating at maintenance level or below. I even knew guys growing up that rarely ate 3 meals a day. They would either eat 2 meals or 1 big meal with only a few snacks.

I've grown up around tons of African Americans and west Africans. I've met plenty that were skinny, skinny fat, and just fat in general. Like 99% of the in shape black people I met growing up either played basketball or football on an organized team. The football players in school were usually ripped, buff, of just big in general. Plenty of hoods all across America are filled with skinny malnourished or fat madow kids.

I don't know why you guys think it takes longer for Somalis to get in shape. Madows aren't building insane physiques after being in the gym for only 2 months unless they spent time building muscle over the years prior to losing fat. They gotta be in the gym for 2 years+ like everyone else. Some madow guys literally have a head start on this simply because they start working out as teenagers. Some cadaan kids are the same as well hence why you can find 16 year old white and black kids squatting 400+ on TikTok.

This somalis are natural skinny stereotype needs to die. Everyone starts off skinny. A lot of Somali kids just weren't fed well enough growing up. It's a bigger problem for the ones living back home. Also we didn't have a proper fitness culture in our community until recently. Somali parents didn't care for raising athletic kids like some of these madow and cadaan families.

Yes there is an element of culture and environment. That said, the science can’t be argued with. Niger Congo and AA by extension have a different genetic disposition to Somalis which gives the average male in their ethnic group advantages over Somalis when it comes to explosive and strength based activities. If you trained a 100 Somali kids from the age of 7 in weight lifting and you did the same with a 100 Cameroonians, on average the Cameroonians would make better body builders.

We (East Africans) have similar genetic advantages when it comes to endurance running.

I don’t even consider this an issue to debate.
