I have infinitely more respect for people on gear who waited til they were ~25, close to their genetic walls, and got blood work done than most "natural" athletes
fake natty is so harmful to teens
Thank you for translating! this post needed it! another one is SARMs which you can just have delivered to your door and they can mess you up bad especially developing teens
Thought you were talkin about Natty Light for a minute and was like ???
Yet another reason soccer is the superior sport: a wider range of acceptable, beautiful body types are able to find success.
Messi is like 5'3" tall, Akinfenwa is a chonky boy, for most of his career Beckham looked as skinny as a coat rack. Pele looks like an average dude in decent shape.
I think women in the sport seem even more varied in body size, shape, and development. Hell, it's even safe to play for the first few months of pregnancy, so you have some women out there with her baby belly showing.
Yes but also soccer is so so boring, and men's soccer is more acting than playing
Seriously with the way they flop acting scouts should start hovering around the fields
Honestly it has half the frequency of diving basketball does. People talk about diving in soccer all the time but there is more stopping for injuries in football than dives in soccer. I think that a lot of people underrate how fast soccer players are moving and how much seemingly small hits can hurt. When you're moving 20mph while not braced for contact at all because you're doing fine motor stuff small hits can be really painful. For me personally Soccer hurts way more than I expected. Certainly more than basketball or baseball.
Also players overreact to legitimate fouls to make sure they get called.
Not to say that you're wrong for not enjoying it. Since the pandemic I've basically stopped watching sports. I couldn't do more than an hour of redzone or a half of soccer.
I also get bored watching football and basketball tbh lol, idk what it is but unless there's always something happening it's not for me
What sports do you like then? Racing? Hockey? Rugby? Or do you just not like sports. Because that's the exact reason I like soccer more than other sports. There is always something happening. Tactical changes, passes, dribbling, winning and keeping possession. Most sports aren't fun to watch unless you know what's going on. Soccer is like that. If you just sit there waiting for a goal you'll get mighty bored
Racing? Hockey? Rugby?
Hit the nail on the head lmao I like all 3, I'll watch MMA/boxing/UFC if it's on and I enjoy lacrosse too
you can't hide from me bb our love is too strong :penguin-love:
Fighting sports are great. I hardly ever watch them but I always enjoy it. I was considering starting muay thai before the rona hit. I think fighting is super cool.
My brother is super into supercross and I watch that with him sometimes.
Hockey sucks though
Different strokes and all, but it wouldn't be so popular if most people were bored. Like any sport, it's easier to follow when you follow a team. Low scoring games and draws become very dramatic when every point matters. Winning a 1-0 game or drawing can be the difference between winning/losing the league or suffering/avoiding relegation. There's still plenty of high scoring games still.
It's also really nice to avoid commercials and have games finish in two hours consistently.
yeah but if a game is 60 minutes long and only 1 goal is scored that's like 59 minutes of nothing happening
Like I said nothing is for everyone, but I used to think like both of y'all until I actually started watching the sport.
No. Like I said, one goal can be extremely important but also not scoring a goal can also have huge stakes if you understand the context of the season or tournament. So every save is something happening, every tackle is something happening, every miss is something, every corner can be nervous or full of anticipation.
Some games can be boring, but I've seen plenty of boring NFL games or basketball games too. It matters what games you catch, but since I've started watching, I think it has had the most exciting games and comebacks of the sports I watch.
I've watched a lot of soccer and the fact that it's just a bunch of people running back and forth with the expectation that this is probably not going to be the 30 seconds of action that decides the 60 minute game really does not do it for me at all.
Granted I've also got adhd and "constant action" sports with no discernible stop/go/test points are excruciating (I've seen too much basketball and it's very boring too even though someone scores every minute or so) but I don't think I'll ever see the appeal of just watching people run around knowing how improbable it is that this is the 30 seconds that decides the fate of the game.
im new to soccer and one of the first games ive seen in full in real time was bayern barcelona last year, lmao
That doesn't make a sport superior. Just means it's more accessible. Football bores my cock off. Rugby on the other hand I can't get enough of. Different strokes for different folks.
I like it when the dude hit the dude :) monke brain go brrrr
Other good ones to watch: Hockey, Lacrosse, MMA, Boxing,
Most soccer players are on at least painkillers - I remember someone saying they take them like m&ms - even, from personal experience, at lower levels
probably dumb of us but when I played lacrosse we would take ibuprofen before hand bc you knew you were gonna need it afterwards anyway
Like how Chris Hemsworth (and most of Hollywood) is adamant that he doesn't take any kind of juice, when this is obviously untrue. This body type is unobtainable naturally for the vast majority of people. In turn this leads people, especially teenagers who just aren't seeing those kinds of results no matter the effort they put in, to turn to gear to get that fit. It's harmful, I have a lot more respect for those who do use steroids and SARMs who are open about them and don't advocate for their use but instead teach harm reduction
back before i realized i was a tran i was completely incapable of believing im good looking, because the only acceptable image of men i ever saw was super buff big dudes and i was scrawny af
shit sucks, we need more body types on TV and shit
Yeah, me and my buddies are into fitness and I'm glad I'm bulky, it's so much easier to cut than to put on mass. Like I have a ridiculous appetite and I put on size easily, it takes drinking egg whites with chocolate protein powder (not bad actually) for them to put on mass like I do from just eating. It's ridiculous that the only representation of "attractiveness" is literally just oh hey have a millionaire budget to spend on doctors dietitians and drugs and then workout
That sounds like me in middle school. All the kids would tell me to flex and then laugh at me.
Damn has he really been adamant about that? Such obvious horse shit. Sucks that more people dont know.
squatting 450 benching around 300 at a body weight of 190
Holy shit broski that's insane, I agree, I totally respect people using gear openly. The people who lie about it especially those who lie to sell a product I can't stand
Remember Eat Clen, Tren Hard, Anavar give up, and someday you'll Dbolish your goals
I hate models who juice. Cause like, they have to work even harder to get those results from the juice on top of regular working out and it makes me feel bad for not even living up to my potential as it stands.
Like, oh damn, I am skipping regular workouts cause I am lazy and there are like two more levels of workout people do just cause sometimes.
Teenagers that take steroids deserve man boobs and dried up little testicles. That's what you get for playing with god.
eh, I blame the media figures who are above what's naturally attainable being set as the standard not the teenagers who usually have body dysmorphia
