What do you think of his physique? Do you think he lifts?

The dude would so much more efficient if he stopped overcompensating his manletism with a huge upper body. He cant sprint for shit.

T. Swiss dude

>5'5"
>thicc
pick one

He is probably e-statting too so more like 5'4"

This isn't rugby, they don't tackle the fucking strikers.

Of course he lifts, and he'd either beat the shit out of you or pay somebody else to do so. He's one of the most elite footballers in the world, competing in the single biggest and most important sporting event in the world. His body is a huge part of his fame and fortune.

>T. Swiss dude

Why is half of your team Albanian? I mean, I know Switzerland is a made up country, but don't you have your own players?

They do lift. Its part of their conditioning program.
They don't aim to get big but lifting helps with explosiveness and recovery

90 minutes in not that long especially considering you do have downtime in football even at the highest level. penalties, injuries, corners etc. and you have a decent sized break after 45min where you can almost fully recover.

I agree too much muscle is bad but it is not entirely an endurance sport, I would argue being explosive might be just as important. Just look at 100m times of someone like Ronaldo they are far from bad.

No but they have to prevent the strikers. I played defense when I played football, and since I was a big, fat dude, I was pretty efficient at it. I sent the stick figures flying more than once, and the refs never seemed to give a fuck. The only time I got a yellow card was because I kicked a guy's shin bone.

>> single biggest and most important sporting event in the world

I don't see any football pads or yardage markers

Ronaldo is hardly the best example. His physique is much more developed than 99% of football players.

Nah, dude. Look at pro fighters, they have to fight in 3 minute rounds and the bigger ones get gassed extremely quickly.

Yeah , but football players don't try to get as big as the biggest fighters. They also do more endurance work.

>these guys need to run for 90+ minutes
You’ve clearly never played football. It’s alternating between explosive sprints, jogging back to position, running and just standing around. A guy on my team runs marathons and that conditioning doesn’t carry over at all, it’s not an endurance sport.

Only hardcore real fans tolerate him

Football got overrun by slavic niggers and white dudes fled to tennis/ice hockey

Loled hard when the manlet put his shirt off and started flexinh

Why do people even argue over this, when you can find evidence, that they do lift, that easily

Lmao i can't believe people still think this

calm down hard man what are you the CEO of steroids inc. ? faggot ass queer

Clashes in the air+zoning out the attacker require strength

He's small as fuck so it doesn't matter.

You're an idiot

I don't understand how the rest of you faggot Europeans play football, but here in Scandinavia we really don't care that much about a bit of tackling, unless you come crashing straight the fuck into someone like a linebacker that is.

This topic was already covered during the previous world cup but here we go again.

This was C Ronaldo's program for a while since his trainers thought he lacked power. Yes, people thought CR lacked power.

Squat 150 kgs x 4 x 6 = 3,600 kgs
Bench Press 100 kgs = 2,400 kgs
Clean 75 kgs = 1,800 kgs
Leg Press 200 kgs = 4,800 kgs
Dead Lift 200 kgs = 4,800 kgs
Shoulder Press 70 kgs = 1,680 kgs
Arm Curl 30 kgs = 720 kgs
Tricep Curl 20 kgs = 480 kgs
Pull up 75 kgs = 1,800 kgs
Bench Dip 75 kgs = 1,800 kgs
Bridge x 5 75 kgs = 375 kgs
Total kgs lifted = 24,355 kgs

The totals are supposedly some way for the trainers to quantify his volume/workload. Remember they are not training for powerlifting or olympic lifting, this is strictly as supplementary to his football training so please don't go apeshit about HURR HURR SQUAT 3,600 KGS

I think it's safe to say that barbell training is incorporated at some point for most elite level football players.

Manlet rage, MANLET SMAAASH

so his bench was just a 1rep max? 100kg? that's it?

Even someone like Connor McGregor who is 160-ish gasses after two rounds.

Albanians aren't slavic you halfbrained monkey

A scandinavian calling anyone else a faggot is like a porn star calling someone else a whore.

Ronaldo does not deadlift 200 or squat 150. Not kilograms anyway. This is a made up program.

There is absolutely no way Ronaldo benches 100kg, squats 150, diddlys 200, does a 75kg pullup (how the fuck would that help soccer players?) this shit is dumb as fuck where the fuck did they pull these numbers from?

100kg bench is absolutely plenty for an athlete playing *foot*ball.

Jow Forums has absurdly high standards, but if you bench 100kg you are stronger than the vast majority of people.

Some retard posted on bb.com and a Jow Forums retard instantly assumed it was real. These are the people who give advice on this fucking board.

His legs are pretty thicc but he's a tiny manlet so who even cares

This is why only retards take Jow Forums seriously. I want to go back to 2012-2014 this place was so much better. It also had less Jow Forums incels shitposting

It was the same shit. >tfwnogf was 50% of the board.

Honestly I browsed other boards during that period but when I checked in it didn't seem so bad. I remember I did browse in 2008 when I was on the misc but even back then this place was considered a joke. Was Jow Forums always bad?

oh no no no no

>for some reason made a joke that 'haha I know the Albanian for 'man you think about when we have sex, it is Shaqiri'
why would you do this?

>gf is Albanian

This was your girst mistake.

That's Peter 'The Titan' Crouch. He's 6'7 and the definition of a lanklet.

Once an interviewer asked what he would be if he hadn't become a professional footballer.

'A virgin,' he answered.

Oh yeah, I know who buddy is. I don't follow soccer but he seems like a funny cunt from what I've seen. Didn't realise he was the source of the virgin quote tho. Thought that was someone else.

pretty sure he annexed that joke from a comedian

Normies are retarded about fitness

Naw, if you play any form of football, American, rugby, Canadian, arena, whatever, you need to be benching 300 lbs.

For soccer, benching might help you body out people from the ball, but there's no need to do that when you can just fall over and cry to the ref.
