With his insane cardio, why isnt Cain ripped?

[accolyte1022]

don't see too many Mexicans at TB. Not down here anyway

Probably because TB is barely edible.

Too much tortillas. Srs.

Seoul knows

 

[ThinkBig500]

i must say, i have better example

Athletic and explosive =/= good cardio. JDS doesn't have a bodybuilder's physique like those two and even then, his cardio isn't that great (at least when Cain is mauling him).

 

[IndyCovaHart]

Tito Ortiz managed to keep himself pretty cut though.

Unless he's not full blooded Mexican.

Big man with a big appetite TS. With slightly better portioning throughout his meals he could be ripped, but what's the point?

 

[barmyone45**]

If one were to use EPO it would be possible to have strong cardio without quite doing the level of physical exercise one might think of as being necessary for being ripped.

It was a racist joke

If he was black, I would have said "KFC"

 

[Palooka]

Purely functional training with a casual (by fighter standards) diet.


No time for beach muscles, thats for bitches who buy magazines instead of doin' work.

 

[jjresq]

Endurance doesnt equal muscle, Look at marathon runners, none of them are ripped

100% genes. 0% orange juice.

Yup. People got different body types and that's why Cain doesn't look ripped. He was the last one on the line when they gave dem ripped bodytype genes away. He's still a beast and better conditioned than anyone in the HW division.

Cain doesn't look ripped, but he is ludicrously strong, he can outgrapple men far heavier than himself. His core strength is ridiculous!

Can't judge a book by its cover, bro.

Dem Mexican genes. Seriously, I've never seen a fit Mexican who had the same skeletal sctructure as a guy like Cain. Their body types are either short and skinny or short and fat, lol. An exception being Cain or Chris Areola who are above average height, but are STILL fat.

They must have the worst genes for fatty tissue, next too Samoans.

What? I know plenty of Mexican that are ripped, I'm sure if he wanted to Cain could get pretty muscular, no reason for it at the moment though. He's fit enough to where his cardio doesn't suffer and not too jacked to where his muscles take up too much oxygen.

 

[antithetic]

He doesn't diet and loves BBQ.

 

[Rod1]

There is no such thing as a mexican race, mexican can come from blue eyed blonde to african black and anything in between.

 

[BulldogWrestler]

gayest thread of all time

 

[campbecc]

looking ripped has more to do with how many calories you eat than how good of shape you are in.

The TS asks a good question. I know people will say genetics but that seems like an overly simplistic answer. There's a genetic component to athletics and body build but I don't accept the claim that someone simply can't be ripped now matter how clean they eat and how much they exercise. There are people who have gone from morbidly obese to ripped. There's no biological reason why Cain Velasquez can't be ripped.

I think the correct answer is that Mr. Velasquez is one of those rare individuals who have great cardiovascular conditioning while maintaining a diet that is fattening enough to keep him a little soft. He eats what he wants since he doesn't have to worry about cutting weight. My evidence for this is a scene from a Primetime or Countdown episode where Velasquez is chowing down on some kind of burrito type dish and admits that he doesn't have an extreme diet plan.
