How The Hell Do Gymnasts Have Such Jacked Biceps/shoulders (serious)

[young_stunna]

does the majority of their size come from just constantly practicing their sport or is it from actually weight training (serious)

hardly need to weight train when ur sport is the most natural way to gain muscle there is.

Edit: you wouldnt really wanna train with weights, in that sport you want to be as muscular as you need to be and no more or less. Through 10+ years training and crazy ****ing bodyweight exercises that most people can't do you get ****ing jacked like them. BTW they are like 5'5" average so its easier to look big although they are.

[MEGAMANLET]

i would imagine it's both

[DeathByLight]

Body Weight exercises and spending 10+ hrs a day in the gym will help.

[AleksV]

They are very short and they have been doing this since they were 5 and some even before that. No weight training needed when you have been walking on your hands as long as you have been walking on your feet.

it is both.

[tcpombomb]

they are very lean which makes them look jacked. Not like they are mass monsters

find out how long they have been in gymnastics... its a sport you really need to be rasied in, some people could jump in at later years but most need to start early or you will have a **** of a time doing the **** they do. The guys are short so there muscles pop out more when relaxed, it is definitely an illusion but they still are ****ing jacked.

I would consider them huge,,,their shoulders bi's,lats,,,everything is huge

[nitr0x2]

I am friends with the Gymnastics team at my university(D1 level) and they are almost all JACKED and NONE of them lift weights. They get huge from doing all their bodyweight exercises

[cerot]

High Training Frequency

[tcpombomb]

pics of said gymnists

[bbos]

training on the still rings and performing feats such as the iron cross and **** like that will get anyone jacked, those excerises require tremendeous amount of upper body strength. especially the shoulder/chest/back area

[kappakai]

brb installing rings and parallel bars.

wow. i never knew you can get jacked without weights. everyone is always like "omg lift heavy ass weights 5x5 son"

[terzter]

brb going back in time to when i was 5 and asking my parents to put me in gymnastics

edit: btw ive seen little chinese 10 year olds with 'jacked' arms lawl

[R3vel4tion]

wow strong unaware


so you think that no one was jacked until weights came about?

[mroth86]

yes we just practice our **** a lot and it works out. if you think about it, your muscles have no idea what you're lifting, so...i mean a constant 170 pounds is going to build you up. of course there's a leverage equation which reducing it is like adding more weight without actually adding physical weight.

But yes, we just practice our routines a lot and it naturally builds up

[mroth86]

wow strong unaware

<sarcasm>nope everyone was really weak. I don't know how we farmed or built the pyramids, or anything without iron weights. Even though electricity and the industrial revolution didn't come about until the 19th century and we all had to work really hard to move anything with our bodies, i don't see how anyone could be strong</sarcasm>

lmao

[hashish]

so their sport and training mainly consists of strength in the arms ???

would u think they would dedicate more time on the arms/shoulders n back and less time on chest/abs/legs etc..etc.. just to get that extra out of them for their sport.??

[babycakes90]

i used to be a gymnast like forever ago.. a few years ago..

i trained 5 days a week 4 hours a day and i was only at half the level you see at on the olympics.. 90% of the girls on my team would cry daily. (not me i didnt cry except once im tough)

theyre short and underdeveloped because they start so young and often skip puberty because of the intense training/low bf..

[mroth86]

very strong ignorance here..

[mroth86]

no actually strength in the legs is just as strong, but we don't build up our legs. Try doing an L-sit on the ground, which is a VERY easy "skill" and pay attention to how much your quads are flexing. Try tumbling on a floor and see how much power you have to generate from your legs to be able to do anything. You really think the fact it's a spring floor does anything? Actually, a spring floor just jumping barely adds *anything* onto your vertical. Watch how high some of the olympic guys get on there and if you've ever been on the floor you'll ask "how the hell do they get so high".....leg power.

most every skill in gymnastics requires a high degree of leg strength too.

yikes...

That Indian guy on the USA team has mad biceps. It almost looked like he injected that stuff in them (sorry forgot the name of said stuff)
