How to get a physique and athletic ability like Yoel Romero?

[bad mojo]

I’ve trained with a lot of people over the years. University football teams, soccer players, MMA athletes, including 7 UFC fighters, 3 NHL athletes, cyclists, bodybuilders, powerlifters, hammer throwers, Olympic athletes, etc. Worked with many coaches, including an NBA and an MLB strength & conditioning coach (w2 different men). Never mind BJJ in Brazil (with numerous gold medalists), Muay Thai in Thailand etc. No. I suppose I haven’t trained with every athlete on earth, but I would submit I have an extremely broad range of experience over many years and many disciplines, and thus have a very accurate idea of what goes on. Probably much better than most.

I blame Rogan for all this "genetic freak" BS, it started with Lesnar and continued from there, just him talking out of his ass. While there are certainly people more gifted than others, it only goes so far. People want to believe that there are athletes "bigger than life", and I kind of understand it.

And coming from another 39 years old Sherbro, keep it up man, sounds like you're killing it.

I would love to get in shape like Yoel Romero. I just am a lazy fucker lol. I know smartasses will say "PEDs" but seriously, the dude is a beast. Is there any way I can get to even 50% of his athletic ability and aesthetics? His is well proportioned, thick solid lower body, his upper body is like twice as good as a greek god. I am actually extremely envious of Yoel Romero's physique and athletic capabilities.

Go through a soviet style olympic training program for a communist country.

I appreciate that brother. Very kind words.

I’ll tell you though... I feel Father Time creeping up on me.

He looks like an action figure

 

[stinkynecklace]

i think you're overestimating "average" genetics. if it was as easy as you say, lots of guys who are over 6'0 and weigh more than 200lbs would look like them, but they don't. the guys who look like them or better are athletes, people with freaky genetics, or they're on the sauce too.

there is no "average" person who is 6'7 and 260lbs with striations in their chest or 6'3 and 250lber with visible abs.

6’3-6’7 isn’t an average height. So they wouldn’t be included in my assessment of average people.

Most people, even if they train hard & eat right, will not look like Yoel. Genetics matter. For a 170 lb guy, I can probably outbench/deadlift/squat, etc probably 98-99% of people who weigh 170 lbs. I have a good looking physique but I still do not look nearly as good as Yoel, despite being 1 of the hardest working guys at the gym over many yrs too. You can still look good with hard work & nutrition, but genes do matter.

 

[Dragon Punch]

Haha nice one. I'm not gay, but if I was and Yoel was my guy, I would definitely have to be the giver. I am not sure I could take all that.

I was just giving you shit lol. You don't have to be gay to admire that physique.

@Iron Wolf is killing mf’ers left and right. Thank you for setting the record straight. Also you are a beast.

 

[GOATER]

No. You haven’t. I went to college long ago. I never said I was the freak, but again, no you are not in much better shape than me. Pretty much in possible feat to accomplish. You’re dumber than Goater. Congrats

You're a Dumbass who said a 6'4 225 lbs guy with the same bodyfat percentage as a 5'10 210lbs guy...Is bigger muscular wise lol.


You're an idiot....Yoel is bigger...and no way in hell can you get Yoel Traps without fucking roids bro.

You clearly don't know shit.

Dude back in 2009, idiots thought Brock was legit natty lol...It fucking amazes me.

Yeah, Rogan genetic freak bullshit really influenced this forum, way too much.

Now he is doing the same with lebron james.....Saying the dude will destroy everybody in MMA , then some idiot next to him, said Lebron must be 2% bodyfat or someshit....He just loves hyping people up.

Pro athletes are not clean

A 5'10 lifelong natural bodybuilder is around 180-185 lbs 10% body fat at his max genetic potential. I highly doubt endurance athletes who outweighs that figure by 20 lbs have never used anything

True story. You are right on the money.

In that pic I posted of myself above, I am 5’10, 186-188 lbs, 8.2% body fat.

Try jerking off it helps produce more testosterone and build muscle

 

[krelianx]

You can't. With that said, you seem to be doing pretty well matching Romero in cognitive prowess.
