He does have that ape look



But cmon man, 6'6 245 10% bf ? Lol



10% is low? Above average sure, but beyond achievable natty. Plus like others have said... Bbc genetics. And he's 6'6"... Of course he weighs near 245. actually surprised he's not more.

I think he is just referring to genetics i.e. higher incidence of fast twitch muscle fibres in bl4ck dudes

The evidence of a difference based on ethnicity is weak at best. A study on lean blacks and whites in America found no difference, the only difference was seen in obese populations where sedentary activity patterns will change fiber type predominance anyway so you can't really say. There may be a difference between west African black people and white Canadians but those who experienced "evolutionary pressures" due to slavery don't show a consistent difference at all.

There's a reason 497 of the 500 top ranked sprinters in the world are black, and why there's a disproportionate amount of blacks in sports that rely on power + speed.

It's too much of a discrepancy for it to be caused solely by socioeconomic factors, although poverty and lack of education will definitely contribute to a heavier emphasis on sport.

jews were slaves long before blacks

egypt anyone?

so why are jewish people not ripped as black people?

big thing could be just how they look

u know lighting helps make people look more ripped

and bodybuilders put tanning lotion on before a show to make their muscles look more defined and such.

i think the color of skin can make some1 look more jacked

ii'd wager most athletes at the highest echelons of their sport use. it's common sense

You should just stop trying to give scientific opinion, it hurts to read. There has been no gene associated with high aerobic performance in sport. You're just letting prejudice influence your stupid words

I am from a science background myself and I haven't read any studies on this particular topic. Even if everything you said was true, a scientist would accept that it is plausible there exists a genetic advantage for muscle building in the human genome. Not even all genes within the human genome have been identified, let alone identify their various functions.

id argue cloudkicker has more knowledge than you in regards to anything scientific

cloud is just saying there is weak, if any evidence to support your claim

and he mentioned a study that showed your claim is not valid

of course multiple studies would be required to really get a more firm conclusion, but there have not been any studies in support of your claim, only support against it

and ur saying even though there is no evidence u still think its possible

okay?

everything is possible... well sort of .... but in a scientific community, use some evidence to support your claim or its pretty much not worth hearing about

yeah i agree, just cause what they have attained pay be possible natty, does not mean they are natty

if ur job where u make money to live relies on your physique and such, theres a much greater chance they are doing whatever they can to win, including vitamin S
