Weight trainers beware...

hmm... a wee bit of photo-shop to manipulate the images slightly.
if they are real then that's pretty extreme!!

Even if they are shopped there are people that extreme out there.
What I don't get is that the muscle is actually not practically usable....

Not only do you have a horrendously small.....range of movement....slow as well, but the amount of oxygen you need to burn to use the damn things for anything means they will have the stamina of a granny...

at least if my failing memory of Biology lessons back in school is anything to go by.

Most guys would like a flat belly (even a six-pack) and some muscle definition, but that?!

When I saw the first Lennox Lewis v Evander Holyfield Heavyweight world title fight
in Madison Square Gardens sorry about the name dropping! I was amazed
at how little stamina these guys had even though they were supremely fit, due I believe to
their 'bulk'
.........Not that I would dream of telling either of them this!

Can you imagine what would happen if one of them got cramp
Would serve em right.

When I started Kick Boxing I had to loose some of the upper body muscle because I couldn't stretch them far enough for all the excercises, would love to see these guys try, god I bet some of them have trouble just walking up stairs with those legs.

that was pretty much frank bruno's problem throughout his career. amazing physique, but too muscular. all his energy was sapped by the 7th/8th rounds

Lol just dodge him long enough for him to wear himself out and get your hits in.
Just be wary that while they wear down quick as soon as they "get their breath" they will go again and you better not be in his way

Personally I prefer the Martial Arts style of fighting where you are consistent rather than being able to go 2 hours in 10 second spurts 10 seconds trying to get your breath rinse repeat.

The first chap is Marcus Ruhl. The third is Jay Cutler. Dunno who the guy in the middle is. And yes, these are photoshop-tastic! Cutler and Ruhl are incredibly, freakishly big chaps. But nothing like this sham. Bodybuilding is a freak-show, but c'mon! None of you actually believed these images did you?

If you want to see the real thing, Google the guys names.

I won't be trying out your theory, if you don't mind.

Sorry Razor, looks like it was just your imagination
