Anyone know how Khabib is so strong?

[12ga.]

Grip strength seems completely separate from muscle strength, lots of old guys who aren’t buff have strong ass grips.

I always lose arm wrestling against my dad and uncles despite my larger arm and shoulder muscles.

Old man strength is real, Khabib must get it from strengthening his joints during 25 years of high level wrestling.

You shouldnt arm wrestle. Very unnatural movement and if you're really strong can break someone arm like taking a twig in both hands and twisting. bad break. I've seen it a few times.

Khabib reportedly walks around close to 200 lbs. Woodley walks around at 205 lbs. I bet Khabib wouldn't look as strong against Woodley as he does against lightweights.

ok one day ill message you thanks for at least being considerate

Good. Please do. Thanks yourself.

 

[Arqueto]

Yes, I know.

Spoiler

But I'm not telling you

 

[Lavitz]

100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and 10 km running every single day.

 

[Bamboozled]

Banging milfs

I’ll tell them this next time I get challenged, to avoid the embarrassment of losing to old man strength again xd

Sambo and wrestling trained grip strength. A lifetime of it.

Khebab was raised in a country that has toughness written all over it. His dad was tough on him as well. More than his core power i think that his mental fortitude and how he doesnt let fatigue take over is what makes him different. He is one relentless sob with an unbreakable will.

You are seriously dumber than I thought. First of all, I don't hate muslims, you moron. I probably wouldn't live half the year in Indonesia with my MUSLIM girlfriend if I did. I have major issues with Islam - like my girlfriend also does, btw, but that is clearly a very different thing. And I have major issues with Khabib shitting all over a sport I've spent the last 25 years defending. I've always been a fan of him as a fighter, but as a person I have very little respect for the guy. But for you to level these kinds of accusations... Fuck, you're dumb.

So I just reported you. Accusing me of hating muslims was a rather stupid thing to do, you little weasel.

You had me til you said you were reporting him little pussy

Is not only strenght. Is his condition and technique too.

Technically his grappling is amazing.

If you look at his body, he looks very average compared to some other monsters like Abdel Trujilio and Gleison Tibau but he literally manhandles everyone. Even Rockhold said he's never grappled with a 155lb guy as strong as Khabib. He doesn't even look like he takes supplements let alone any peds. How the fuck is he so damn strong?

Same way Ben Askren is so strong I guess. Some people just have it like that, especially wrestlers. I’m guessing they have great core strength, and strength in muscles that most people don’t use.

Ask his bear training partner.

 

[Evenflow80]

core strength from Sambo, like Fedor.

 

[Quietus]

Functional strength > show muscle. Doing curls for big biceps doesn't help you in a fight, neither do a lot of weightlifting movements that fighters do, I feel a lot of guys just do regular bodybuilding routines (because they want to look jacked) instead of training specifically for combat.

 

[PopeUrbanII]

Never trust that a russian athlete is clean they do not deserve it.

 

[Te Huna Matata]

Doing it all his life, genetics and fighting in a weight class below his natural weight

Below? The general consensus is that he's huge for the weight. He walks above 190.

Khabibs teammates have been suspended by USADA

His skill is light years beyond Trujillo. Take a look at Ben Askren, he doesnt have a bodybuilder physique but he would manhandle most that do with ease.

Not going to be a popular opinion but having wrestled a bit with Russians and a few Caucasians, I am of the belief that these guys are genetically predispositioned to be stronger than other people.

And interestingly they tend not to look as athletic as other people that have the same power.
