North/East Africans don't have bad muscle genetics, proof included

[Reformed J]

Being lean> being jacked

Are we at the point in which 'lean' has been co-opted by the skinny dudes, the same way 'thicc' is used by obese tings?

Only muscle group I have difficulty cultivating are the calves

Those things were bricks before puberty

Naah I’m not skinny lol. I been going gym consistently for around a year and a half and I’d be categorised as ‘lean’

 

[Maintainnnin]

So many pot belly skinny niggas making excuses in this thread. Get off the couch and hit the gym you bums.

 

[JohnCena]

Every ethnic person can build muscle assuming they hit their macros/necessary caloric intake/progressive overload


People who complain about not being able to build muscle are just lazy and misinformed about nutrition/lifting


Certain races do build muscle better, but for the most part , anyone can get jacked

Being skinny with abs is like a fat chick with breasts

While it is cardio based for the most part, there is a need for short busts of explosiveness when on the attack and on the defense.

There is a reason why the American media hasn't adopted football, even despite how universally popular it is . The reason has to do with the limited placement of ads where the ads only occur in half time in comparison to basketball or American football. They have many breaks where you can place ads.Football is 90 mins, where a basketball game is 48 mins, where a basketball game has 4 quarters and two of those quarters are separated by half time. One half of a soccer game is 45 mins keep in mind that there is limited amount of substitutions. If you examine a football the kin eye will notice how slow the game is incomprehensible to other sports but that's doesn't mean that there isn't any action its condensed is small portions of the game.

Let me give you an example. I've been an advent. mma fan since I was 12 years old I have seen fighters with fast twitch fighter twitch fighter over the years the famous one being Conor McGregor or Romero or the slow twitch fighters such as nate Diaz or max Holloway. If you examine the fighters with fast twitch muscles they can’t maintain their endurance as they produce more lactic acid which hinders their cardio. Conor McGregor is well known to gas after the second round Where as fighter like max Holloway peaks in the later rounds where their opponents are Exhausted. Similar to football player, Max Holloway uses his cardio to make the opponents fight at his pace, regardless if it's fast or slowed paced to out, perform his opponents. A long distance runner and soccer player are no different in how they use their cardiovascular system.

Myron Gaines is Sudanese so he’s probably got Arab or some Bantu genes that help him whereas the last dude is clearly on steroids

don't be dumb, at the field he is competing in EVERYONE is on steroids otherwise you're left behind before you're even on the starting line, once everyone is on steroids the only difference between you and the next guy is how good you're genetics are. Thanks for providing me an opportunity to educate

 

[Djokovic]

That brudda took steroids genetics don’t matter there

B-but small frame!!! Get in the gym

[Diaspora ambassador]

Y'all need to stop the calaacal and hit the gym.
Focus on your food intake as somalis are notorious for eating for taste instead of the things you actually need.

Get a specialist involved and fix that vitamine and other defiancies.

Before you know you to will become muscular.

This shit is getting embarrassing

 

[Dima&Damo]

As i guy who trained bjj and boxing since the age of 9 i only saw few somalis in tournements having a father is paramouth to succeed in these streets the benefits of not growning up in a somali community i guess my father saw the necessity to learn martial combat at an early age
