unogueen Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 You do one set and then feed in as much rest that 5 minutes of work balloons to twenty minutes. Like the beauty of olympic hockey is not watching people idle as much, like a game on ice should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysDyingX Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 The best athletes in the world are NFL players. Hockey rotates players in and out every 30-40 seconds and never forget: Literally no one cares about hockey. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all they do 90% of the time. Go watch 6'9 men run, jump, defensive slide, dunk, layup, pass, jump ball, screen, etc. They are not human.

SimpleG Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 I lean towards NFL players but NBA gotta be neck and neck with them and rugby players have to be up there as well. Take Vernon Davis as an example 254 pounds 4.39 40 yard dash 225 lb bench 33 reps 42 inch vert 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah 6'9" men do pass (with their hands) and dunk but they don't do it for longer than 8 minutes at a time. Also kind of like SimpleG said, Rugby players too (but I didn't want it to go to @gamer.tv's head ) since it is like football and soccer combined. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggie Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 They may not be the most in shape athletes but baseball players are the most gifted by far. Hitting a baseball is the most difficult thing to do in sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is many baseball players can compete against other pros in football or in the NBA but players from those sports don't always translate well into baseball. I'm not saying that baseball is the most athletic sport cuz it isn't but it's the hardest to be a pro at. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fizzzzle Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 I don't think you will find anyone in any sport that can match the level of power and speed of an NFL player, except gymnasts. That's the thing, though, it kind of depends how you define athleticism. track and field athletes are amazing, but their abilities are very narrowly focused.

unogueen Posted April 21, 2023 Author Share Posted April 21, 2023 Noticing a lack of dancers mentioned. For all the fey implications, prospective pro ballet dancers do grade six to 12 with four hours of basically gym five days a week. 10 on Saturdays. Sunday is cheat day. Seriously name any number of horror institutions for children, and I'll point out that a top 10 ballet school is a post-college budget equivalent solution to barely see your child, if ever.

The version of sumo from your eugenic society don't impress me much: Pretty funny to think that her ex-husband indoctrinated her to a cult to keep her pliant, and I don't think the story made it past the first day.

GoldenTongue Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Seems a bit stupid comparing athletes from one sport, to another, as though they all follow the same type of training programming. But seeing as how each sport has specificity principles applied to resistance training/conditioning as well as the sport-specific training/practice, it seems myopic to try to compare one to another, especially considering the fact that a number of athletes have performed well in multiple sports at the professional level, and it isn't terribly uncommon to see some degree of crossover at lower levels.

Specificity is the game. But which specificity. How long is the average NFL career compared to NBA, MLB, NHL, etc.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
