Andy Ruiz JR has whipped himself into incredible shape

Yes genetics is why a guy who has been doing boxing his whole life, a cardio intensive sport, has always looked like a blob......You really think is just his eating habits/hard work? LMFAO...Im sure there is people with worse eating habits/work ethic who are shredded/decent shape just by doing boxing alone, most people genetics respond to losing weight via boxing, really well.


Guy has worked hard his whole life and still looks like that(even if he took the rematch with AJ lightly, he has worked his ass off since he was a kid and he has always been obese)....it's clearly more than just food/work....it's ultimately genetics.


Going on a huge calorie deficit to lose weight quickly will make somebody feel "hungry"/"off".....This is a real thing, which is why bodybuilders feel like shit when cutting weight.......Em I saying that's what is happening to andy ruiz? No, maybe the calorie deficit isn't that drastic, but if it is, he could feel "off".
Fat is caused by eating too much. This is a fact.

Bodybuilders have to really be on top of things and diet is a huge part of it. I think Dorian Grey said the hardest part wasn't the workouts, it was the whatever hours you had to abide by the diet and rest and not do dumb shit. Barry Mcguigan said the same thing about boxing, that making weight was the hardest part. It's always the first reason given for why the lighter weights age faster than the heavier ones. A boxing workout and a weightlifting workout don't burn that many calories. a half hour jog and a 45 to an hour in the gym five times a week is good but it's so goddamned easy to eat too much and our food in the US seems to have crap in it that just fucks off all the body's ability to regulate itself. I have a musician buddy who tells me he eats pretty much the same when he goes to europe and he always loses weight there. Then, of course, genetics. Some guys can eat whatever and their body just doesn't use it to make them flabby. So, yes, genetics but I guarantee you if they had Andy on an Aushwitz diet on top of the workouts, he'd get real skinny, whether he could fight like that is another matter.

there was an old time bodybuilder, Leroy Colbert, who had a youtube station and had some of the most practical info you'll ever find, a brilliant mind who'd been around the block and was around Arnold. He was a hardass, he complained about guys saying, "I can't lose weight, well, if you can't lose weight, eat half of what you're eating, they'll say 'I only had..." I don't give a damn if you only had an egg, if you had an egg a day and can't lose weight, eat half an egg". I'm paraphrasing but he was one of the best in the business as far as knowledge and he knew it.
