Which sport would give you the GOAT physique?

[Maluma]

Looks 160, weighs 130. Here's one weird trick to look muscly

it's funny, people don't realize that dropping pounds of fat/water creates an optical illusion of looking "bigger" because they aren't used to seeing that definition.

Lol this reminds me of a TO thread back in the day.

lots of good answers in here but i'm surprised nobody thought gymnastics?

some of these guys are short as fukk but still. the functional strength is unparalleled

stunts your growth horribly but their bodies are alpha as fukk

Huh? You mean adding water makes you look bigger? Losing water makes you look thinner always. Or more cut if that's what you have.

Swimming and boxing, moreso swimming. You won't be jacked or nothing but your body will run like a brand new car.

The only thing people like in these pics is the core. Chest, arm, shoulders look kinda frail

No u haven't
No need to lie to try to prove a point
Harder to swim 1hr than run 3hrs
Ur talking at an average pace a mile long swim
Only elite triathletes train that way for the 2.4mile stretch
I know this cause I wanted to complete one before I die but realized a full one ain't in the books for me

Dumbest shyt I have read on here in a while. I swim 3 times a week and I've seen a lot of fat dudes with beer belly's that are able to keep up with me and swim for 1hr straight. The same way you'll find fat boxers, there's fat swimmers with great stamina but keep living in your ignorant world and argue studies published in the American Journal of Sports Medicine

Professor Burke, Head of Nutrition from the Australian Institute observed that competitive swimmers typically have higher levels of body fat than runners and cyclists who expend a similar amount of energy when they train. He also noted that many swimmers have well publicized battles with body fat levels and are often prescribed running / cycling in addition to swimming to keep it under control.

The American Journal of Sports Medicine published a report that found swimming had no effect on weight loss. Professor Grant Gwinup conducted a three-month experiment looking at walking, cycling and swimming. He found that those walking and cycling lost 17 and 19 pounds respectively, while the swimmers actually gained 5 pounds. That’s right, they exercised everyday and gained weight
Some researchers proposed that energy expenditure was simply lower during and or after swimming as compared to other types of land based exercise.

Did you mention that he also got popped for roids?



I was gonna go ahead and say boxing, because the dudes that don't have to drain themselves down do have ridiculous builds.

But then there are a lot of these boxers that are draining themselves just to make weight, hurting their bodies in the long run.

I mean, just take a look at the last picture. Many people would say both these fighters look great, but there IS a big difference. Look closely and you'll start seeing how Mayweather, who CAN make weight comfortably, looks healthy compared to Canelo, who had to drain himself to make weight. So while many might even look 'good' on weigh in day, a lot of it can be due to being damn near bone dry as a result of these fighters not being able to take in any liquids.


Or dudes STILL looking a little doughy even after long training camps

Not to mention, thecoli's own Larry Holmes was a longtime boxer. Which leads to my next point -- while these boxers display ridiculous discipline during their camps, the diet and workouts are too strict for most, and the lean physique slips away QUICK.

So I'm on the fence now about boxing being the #1 for a GOAT physique.

Not listed there but Rugby players are quite jacked. Especially players in the backline and some forward positions like Lock and 8th man.
