breh asks "why do Asians / White ppl dominate Olympic weightlifting + Strongman events"

[EBK String]

I said "I think".

But as for black people naturally having higher levels of testosterone, it's been proven dumbass.

You studied law and you on this dumb shyt

Show me the peer reviewed scientific studies

^This. Oly lifts may be more about technique and power than about absolute strength, since if you can't accelerate the bar to speed at certain points in the lift, you will fail regardless of how "strong" you are.


And lol @ thinking folks at Olympics/Worlds ain't getting medals revoked for peeing dirty. Most of them folks are prolly just coming off cycles.


Not that sterons turn you into Superman, a lot just allow your muscles to recover faster than normal, so you can benefit from increased vol/freq, but that's for another thread.

I don't know what the olympics test for but if it's randomized testing year round at anytime without giving you notice beforehand it would be extremely hard to be taking stuff and not test positive.

Show me the peer reviewed scientific studies

Serum androgens and sex hormone-binding globulins in relation to lifestyle factors in older African-American, white, and Asian men in the United States and Canada - PubMed

Testosterone, sex hormone-binding globulin, and body composition in young adult African American and Caucasian men - PubMed

Error - Cookies Turned Off

Just to list a few. Get on pubmed or anything else and start searching. There is not only evidence to suggest brehs have more, but the ratio of other hormones in brehs is difference, and that the test is metabolized differently in us.

Some studies have not found a link so of course more research is being done, but still.


This ain't the hill you wanna die on.

America is it's own world

shyt is actually pretty cheap. You legit just need a gym membership, either a PL/strongman gym, a WL gym, or a regular gym with some bumper plates.

You might not be practicing with 800 dollar bars and calibrated competition plates as a broke boi, but the money to enter these sports isn't shyt compared to something like hockey, lacrosse, or baseball.

In regards to Olympic weightlifting, Asians have perfect proportions for that shyt. They have short femurs which allow them to stay more upright during the lifts. Their form and technique is ridiculous.

Think form and technique are inborn and not a byproduct of thousands of hours of training, brehs.

I never said they didn’t train like a muffukka. I’m familiar. They start as kids. But their short femurs help a ton with both of the lifts. I used to study their high bar squats when I used to have trouble staying upright. These dudes are squatting 4x their body weight and their form is just perfect.

A breh or cac with short femurs might have the type of proportions, no? So being Asian wouldn't have anything to do with anything.

It's also tall dudes excelling at Oly shyt, so I wouldn't think Asian = short femurs = perfect form.

But that's just me.

Asians genetically have shorter femurs than any other race/ethnicity whatever you call it. It’s easier to stay up with upright when you have shorter femurs, which allows them to clean more weight, which is a huge part why they are badass when it comes to the 2 Olympic lifts. It’s easier for them to have the prototypical form and technique basically. Not to mention they train the lifts since diapers.

This guy has some of the shortest femurs known to man lol. You’re not going to be able to find a tall guy with long femurs with this type of form unless he has ELITE fukking ankle flexibility.

 

[Arithmetic]

weightlifting/strongman event is a brokeboy "sport"

 

[null]

the "best genes due to" wars+bottlenecks+mixes talk assumes levels of initial variation. if the initial population was a "bottleneck" (which it was) then "best" is only relative to that initial seed population, rather than the global population. in other words "the best of a limited subset".

"be proud of where you are from" talk at the end inconsistently switches from gene based definition of "who you are" to a country / race based one.

also: it's not about "strength"

Black people will take over any sport we have interest in, including swimming
