Bodybuilding has confused people. People now believe you need to look like you are capable. But you don’t. You don’t need to be sexy to do the job. Unless your job is to be sexy. Lol
No such thing as a dead bod in basketball. The problem now is people dont realize how many fitness people on social media are on steroids. With 8 or lower percent bodyfat. So now when they see someone with a natural NORMAL bodyfat percentage in the 15 to 20% range. They think they are fat. When actually they are FIT for a natural athlete. That is the IGNORANCE of people today...
Anything over 15% can hurt your performance or have you not play at your best. 11-13% is better conditioning wise and will make more flexible and less prone to injuries.
@@julianthegrappler More people get injured under 15% bodyfat Mr. That's a fact. 15% is the beach body 6 pack abs are there. But you arent going to see insane striations and shredded condition which is unnatural. And unsustainable longterm. Without DRUGS. This is the dead giveaway for the lying youtube fitness community. Oh buy my program and in 6 weeks you will look like a Greek god. All that nonsense. No you won't. Unless you are taking the same cycle as the fitness influencer lying to you. But by the time you realize that they will have your money.
Patrik Mahomes is Quaterback, he needs to be big not lean. Nobody would say: "Why are sumo wrestlers so fat" The other 2 guys are above 2 meters with long arms, get them fit and you have an athlete. The essence of this video should be that being geneticly gifted beats any form of training.
The biggest thing that having a bit "extra" body fat compared to what we would consider an athletic build is cardio. It takes more oxygen to fuel yourself properly over a sustained period for performance. The rest is entirely dependent on what the athlete needs for their respective sport.
True for racing, but for training I feel best when I’m not skin and bones. I’m big for a distance runner (190cm, 78kg) but I find that I recover much better while doing high volume training of 140km+ per week. When I was 70-72kg i got injured much and was slower :))
@@tv26889 it's not a dietary issue, if the bodyfat is advantageous for your sport. The framing of your comment clearly shows bias coming from a beauty-based perspective, not a performance-based perspective
I personally only use hypertrophy training for my upper body, just for show muscle, but for my lower body, I stick to training for power, strength, and explosiveness.
and then you also have guys who also seem like they're "too skinny" like steph curry but in fact he's surprisingly strong for his appearance he just doesn't focus on hypertrophy
Steph Curry did have to bulk up. Significantly. Look at what he looked like during his Davidson days, or when he first joined the league. That's a good 20 pounds of muscle he put on.
Unless your short. Fat don't fly when you're 6ft and under in the nba Or a running back. Wide receiver. Volly ball player. If ur a fighter... u won't see a dad bod type till the way heavier classes
With fighters this is because of weight classes. If they were all going for their maximum possible performance without any regard for weight classes they would all have another 5-10lbs of fat on them.
The thing is, the guys you mentioned are not exactly peak athleticism, and they play sports (or positions) with a high degree of skill involvement rather than pure athleticism. Look at sprinters and you will see almost all elite sprinters are pretty lean. Same goes for most combat sports athletes that aren't in the highest weight classes. Same goes for olympic weightlifters, whose entire sport revolves around generating peak power. Soccer (football) players also tend to be quite lean. Wide receivers and runningback are also lean. But yes the overall message that training for athletic performance is quite different from bodybuilding training is true (and also common sense). The way you phrased it just made it too click baity
The extra bulk helps a quarterback to not only better take the hits, but also to throw harder, similar to how most of the big punchers are "fat" when they don't have to make weight (the only reason a fighter would be ripped). As long as the athlete is explosive, up to a point the extra weight tips the balance of the F = MA equation (force is equal to mass times acceleration). There is little point in contact sports to being ripped, which is more likely to come with lower energy and testosterone levels.
The video is nothing but clickbait. Anyone with eyes and an above room temperature IQ can clearly tell peak athletes don't look like bodybuilders and never have.
The thing you haven't gone over more is the physicality of certain sports. A receiver will be faster if hes leaner but it also increases the injury risk because people are trying to run threw him. Havibg extra fat cushions against contact.
Uhhh... this is such click bait. As a medical doctor, I want to weigh in. If you start a trend of dudes thinking excess body fat is fine, it will lead to a slippery slope of men having increasingly less concern about excess body fat. This correlates with visceral/organ fat and ALL of the risks that come with that, such as insulin resistance, high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, sleep apnea, etc. Yes, no one should be striving for less than ~8% bodyfat like a bodybuilder, but otherwise, avoiding excess fat/"dad bod" is completely healthy and recommended.
In a sport context what we call "dad bod" is not your tipically unhealthy overweight average male. I mean, he is using Kristian Blummenfelt as an example. Do you really think the best endurance athlete in the world has an unhealthy amount of fat?
Yeah, Doncic is insanely good, but there have been periods where his conditioning is clearly lacking, and I bet he could be even better if he dropped 10 pounds.
Not seeing your six pack isn't "excess" body fat. And markers such as test levels drop precipitously in (natty) athletes in the single/low double% BF, as I sincerely hope you know already.
@bcubed72 I do. Maybe I should've said a more conservative number, like 13-15%. Either way, the dad bod is way more than just a six pack not showing. I'd argue dad bod is 20+% bodyfat i.e. a belly hanging around
This video is misleading based on a few cherry picked examples. 1)skilled position football players like wide receivers and running backs; wrestlers below 197, most track athletes, and MMA fighters below heavyweight all have high middle low fat composition. Some sports are skill emphasis while others are athleticism emphasis. So to suggest a tennis player, basketball player, or cyclist is the same demands for raw explosive power as a sprinter, or the muscular endurance of a wrestler is asinine. 2) body building is a varied sport between natty physique, classic physique, and the mass monsters of the IBFF Pro. All bronze, silver, and many golden era body builders with the classic physiques trained more in compound lifts then muscle isolation. 3) muscle and strength are corrolative there is a limit to how much stronger you can get only being neurological adaptation, you need to put on size to continue to get stronger. 4) as another has said dad bod is a nice term for belly fat. And while a few athletes can get away with it on their skill like Tyson Fury, prime Tyson Fury would lose to Prime Mike Tyson since they were both equal skill but Mike Tyson was athletic, he didn't train to be a body builder. Encouraging people to be chonky is just as unhealthy as the few who are obsessed with sub 8% body dar which few people actually have the fortitude/obsession to do. Since most people greatly underestimate their body fat percent anyways.
being under 10% will probably be harmful to an athlete's performance unless they are injecting hormones. even 10% might be too low, that's no love handles, deep abs and striations in your delts lean.
The general idea is that even pro athletes that happen to have really low body fat percentage, say around 10%, train and fuel themselves exclusively for function, athletic performance and/or skill, with total disregard for aesthetical appearance, which occurs only as a collateral consequence of a sum of many factors.
@@cristianflorea-pg9mh I understand that but it was never a point he made. Body building is a specialized endeavor and studies show women are more attracted to a swimmers build over body builder anyway. IE "otter build" like Brad Pitt looked in the movie fight club. Dad bod isn't the healthy ideal range for most men bellow 40. 15-18% bf is plenty lean and realistic for most men year round. By virtue of training any guy can put on 10-15# of muscle around 21-23 ffmi and look great just by training for basic fitness goals like 1.5xBW squat which is quite attainable. None of which he discussed. None of which justifies the dad bod. This is just a weird cope.
These guys are very skilled, but their style of play is much less reliant upon raw athleticism relative to their more impressively physically fit peers. It’s as simple as that.
Great sports related content.👍I regularly marvel at the extreme performances of of elite tennis players; even though they are often of completely different heights, weights and muscle compositions, they go toe to toe with whoever is on the other side of the net regardless, refusing to yield for several hours, knowing that the scoring system means the match could potentially go on forever, and very often in ludicrously intense heat and humidity too. The more muscular guys like Andy Murray and Rafa Nadal have basically turned their skeleton to chalk in order to do this-but I suspect part of that is from their mentality to never ever give in, even when their body is demnding they do. It's just insane what they all do, hats off to them, and yet there is no set physique for success in tennis. Medvedev looks the most unlikely elite sports player, but he is incredible. Similalry in heavy weight boxing-Tony Bellew, Tyson Fury, Andy Ruiz spring to mind-body composition does not equal cardio or sporting ability, clearly. I'll never forget David Haye laughing before the weigh in with Tony Bellew: "Who's his his nitritionist? Ronald MacDonald?" Bellew on the other hand had done his homework, done his cardio, and perfected his skills; he praised David Haye for all he had achieved in boxing, but finished by saying that he already knew he was going to beat him, and that he was going to retire him. The rest is history. The lighter weights everyone is ripped as they have to cut and dehydrate so exteremely in order to meet the weigh in weight before getting back as much weight as they can before the actual fight-something I believe Connor McGreggor has always had a bit of a cheat mode natural advantage going on there as his body responds so well to this. But this is to me why heavyweight is the only real sport in fighting sports, and why body composition so often biases people as to who will win without any real sports based logic behind that belief at all. To me it's why young people today can't often understand why Muhammad Ali is so highly regarded looking at old footage-he just just doesn't look big enough or feroocious enough like others since; but their eyes, TH-cam KO reels, and their Instagram accounts, are casuing them to miss what really matters in sport.
Great video. I would say that we don't know the counterfactual in these situations. These athletes are great but they might be even better if they had a lower body fat and were stronger
Alright, the thesis of this video is a bit of a strawman argument. But I like the idea. 1) it's not really taking over pro sports more than it's already been, has it? 2) football has always had players with "dad bods". You'd be able to find them historically in basketball, baseball and some other sports too. 3) any analyzer of sport, that is halfway decent at doing so, would know that function is always above appearance.
You mean Tyson Fury, the most overrated and shielded heavywight champion possibly in history. Nah, mate. You can tell how shite his conditioning is every match. He has no gas tank and relies on his height to keep matches at his pace. He got rocked by Usyk, a boxer that can actually move, for a reason.
The premise of this entire video is false. Pro athletes have never competed as lean as bodybuilders, nor train to build a bodybuilder physique. The point of bodybuilding is to build as much muscle as possible in the most aesthetic way possible. Bodybuilders compete at bodyfat percentages below 10%, closer to 5% for pros. I have yet to see another form of athlete compete that lean, not even gymnasts. Only other form of athlete that approaches that kind of lean is maybe combat sports athletes when struggling to make weight. But, most of them opt for extreme water loss a few days before a match, which accounts for the shriveled up look they get. The stereotypical athletic look is typically somewhere between 10-15% depending on the individual, some exceptions maybe even going up to 20%. Hardly anyone competes sub 10%. The need for energy just doesn't allow it. Worse, anyone that's competed in anything should already know this. This video is ridiculous.
I don't like the framing of this video The framing of the idea that there's something ideal about having a dad bod is misleading. Doncic/Jokic don't have dad bods because they lift more effectively than other players. Most bball players aren't "jacked" they're just lean, and are training the same way as Doncic/Jokic. The difference in physique is Doncic/Jokic either not having a great diet, or simply a slower metabolism or other genetic factors. Generally, their physiques don't give them athletic advantages over other players; excess fat is never a plus in terms of being faster, quicker, jumping higher, etc. and Doncic/Jokic are certainly not examples of great athleticism in basketball. In their case, they do both use their weight/size to their advantage in the post using it to "bully" other players, and there are other sports/positions where this weight can be advantageous, like linemen in football, but generally speaking it is not a positive for athletic performance. I generally agree with all the info in the video, but I disagree with the framing of it, and actually think it can be misleading and possibly detrimental. All of the info given is simply a template for how to train for performance instead of focusing on physique, and that's how it should be delivered. Doncic/Jokic are not training differently than their counterparts who are typically leaner, and their dad bods are not a result of more effective training, and are also not giving them athletic advantages, their skills are what is giving them an advantage
The short answer is yes, 5x5 is generally a bit much for power. It’s not really total volume that’s the issue, it’s more that the volume PER SET is too much. Generally when training power you want to stick to 2-4 reps per set, as the velocity of the movement generally tends to decrease after 4 reps. You could instead do 6 sets of 3 if power is your focus.
Yeah, I wouldn't say Jokic has a dad bod. He's just skinnier and doesn't have muscle mass. 4-5 years ago he was legitimately overweight and it hurt his play
This is a great video but Luka, Joker, and Mahomes are not representative of what an athlete looks like in those sports. In fact they are all extremely out of shape compared to their peers. Hardly someone you would want to model your training after.
No. And that goes for any sport that has weight classifications. When you fight, you're fighting someone in your weight class. Which means holding onto extra bodyfat is not ideal, especially since you could lose that 5lbs of fat and gain an extra 5lbs of muscle that is useful tissue. That's why most successful fighters get super lean for their fights, as they want to hold onto as much muscle as possible which means they cut the extra fat off their body.
@paradise9151 only in extreme cases like tyson fury. Can you afford to have a body like this, when your technical ability far outweighs the downside of going up a weight class
@@paradise9151You are right, but having very low bf could be very bad. It could seriously affect your energy levels and cardio, specially a day after doing dehydration, also training camp could be very hard. That's why is common to se fighters that can still perform well with a relatively high bf%
Exactly. The counterpoint is that Luka could be even better if he carried less body fat and had more muscle mass and strength. Imagine if Luka had LeBron's physique
Khm...how many bodybuilders did u actualy train? Like bb coach would talk about performanse training...no go bro...no hard feelings , love ur channel...💪

Generally when training power you want to stick to 2-4 reps per set, as the velocity of the movement generally tends to decrease after 4 reps. You could instead do 6 sets of 3 if power is your focus.
Waaaaaait…. Joked lost weight and got better….
Yeah, I wouldn't say Jokic has a dad bod. He's just skinnier and doesn't have muscle mass. 4-5 years ago he was legitimately overweight and it hurt his play
So... was the baby waiting there the whole time?
He was napping
This is a great video but Luka, Joker, and Mahomes are not representative of what an athlete looks like in those sports.
In fact they are all extremely out of shape compared to their peers. Hardly someone you would want to model your training after.
is it includes fighting?
No. And that goes for any sport that has weight classifications.
When you fight, you're fighting someone in your weight class. Which means holding onto extra bodyfat is not ideal, especially since you could lose that 5lbs of fat and gain an extra 5lbs of muscle that is useful tissue.
That's why most successful fighters get super lean for their fights, as they want to hold onto as much muscle as possible which means they cut the extra fat off their body.
yeah there's tons of fighters with average physiques and even fat guys in the heavier divisions.
@paradise9151 only in extreme cases like tyson fury. Can you afford to have a body like this, when your technical ability far outweighs the downside of going up a weight class
What is your sport, height, wingspan and weightclass?
@@paradise9151You are right, but having very low bf could be very bad. It could seriously affect your energy levels and cardio, specially a day after doing dehydration, also training camp could be very hard. That's why is common to se fighters that can still perform well with a relatively high bf%
Bro. Celtics totally dominated the Mavs - Luka's dad bod was the reason they lost. The guy had no energy to play defense. Come on now...
Exactly. The counterpoint is that Luka could be even better if he carried less body fat and had more muscle mass and strength. Imagine if Luka had LeBron's physique
Eh there are a lot of factors. He was getting behind more from looking for fouls than a lack of fitness. And Kyrie didn't play well in Boston.
not football(soccer) lol
Khm...how many bodybuilders did u actualy train? Like bb coach would talk about performanse training...no go bro...no hard feelings , love ur channel...💪
This was actually created in response to a bodybuilding coach putting out bad information on performance training……..
they are exception not the rule. people like to pretend current athletes have it all figured out, then a 19 year old built like an agile tank comes and destroys everyone(alex lanier)
also, 10-16% is not dad bod
