Too bad you can't run a mile without having a heart attack. Also zero coordination with a ball makes you look like a retard no matter how strong you are.
It's hilarious how many "fitness enthusiasts" from my uni are never up for a sunday footy game. Probably too embarrassed.

>be in high school wrestling >talking with a group of teammates, I'm the heaviest one there (~170 pounds) >all the 130 pounders talking about how they squat 455+
I didn't even lift at the time, but who were they trying to fool?
Jacob Torres
why the asshurt? could've just said that not everyone trains the way OP described.
Austin Morris

Luis Rogers
Listen here faggot, I'm FED UP, absolutely FED UP with all these retarded powerlifters who do nothing all day but masturbate, watch anime then go to their 24 hour gym at 3 in the morning because they're too AUTISTIC to interact with anyone, coming on Veeky Forums and trying to LECTURE us ATHLETES. Do you have any idea how much we train? What skills our sports involve not to mention the superior fitness levels? Of course you don't. WHO GIVES A FUCK about your "bearmode" or your pathetic display of strength by literally lifting a barbell off the ground in different positions? You understand you have ZERO respect or appreciation from the community in general, right? You understand Veeky Forums.ORG/FIT/ is the only and I mean THE ONLY place in the universe where anyone cares about how much someone can squat, deadlift or bench? Of course you don't. You're probably a virgin and a born-again christian after browsing too much /pol/. Tell me, do you feel sinful after every single one of your 100 daily masturbations? That figurine on your shelf? That's PLASTIC, not a real woman ok? Now fuck off and go back to your gym where you can lift away the regret of not being good at any REAL SPORT.

>implying OP isn't American football hue
Hudson Robinson
>struck a nerve
I'm not the one who has been looking towards athletes with jealousy since high school and still not happy, decided to see them workout so you could feel better about yourself and your purist form.
I'm talking about sports in general. People who only lift have a huge inferiority complex towards athletes. >I'm bigger >I have better form >I can lift heavier things up and put them downn
Those are basically the three reactions they have towards anyone who has the athletic skills they lack.
Jason Robinson
So is this gonna be a thing now?
Josiah Nelson
>Also zero coordination with a ball
Wow, something that matters even less than the amount someone can diddylift.
Evan Barnes
Yeah go apply for a scholarship with your lifting stats.
Ryder James
if these guys would want to they could train for a sport
Logan White
If those footballers would want to they could train to be powerlifters (or whatever the fuck you call yourselves).
Aaron Thomas
>playing a sport in highschool makes you an athlete
too bad 99.99% of these 'athletes' have to study and find a job just like everyone else after they finish highschool.
Luis Long
I lost it at the born again Christian part.
Joseph Evans
Posting in the new pasta thread.
Adam Rodriguez
American football players are literally put under oxygen mask after 10 seconds of play
Isaiah Wood
they were probably talking low-bar,half rep,cheat squats thats what they taught my football team to do in highschool
Joseph Cruz
Tfw 99.99% of people with athletic scholarships go on to work a regular job because they weren't as tall as the other guy and never got to go pro.
But I'm the loser because I chose to workout recreationally and go to college for something worth a fuck
Dominic Long
being good at sports is meaningless when you're an adult. you arent gonna make it in the pros.
you just look like someone stuck in the past
Benjamin Jenkins
Well at least they had some experience with competition and teamwork. Unlike what Veeky Forums taught you, those things are extremely important in life and you don't gain them by going to the gym.
Do you mention your squat, dl and bp in your CV bro? You can be sure anyone who played a sport in school or university mentions it.
Jackson Allen
>having to act like a circus animal to get your uni paid
lol, america...
Brody Sanders
True the financial benefit and being a chad in hs are the 2 reasons to play football.
Christopher Thomas
>lol, america... The only places with relevant universities are the US and UK. In both countries you have to pay to study. Only difference is in America you have the option of doing it by being good at a sport.
I really don't give a shit about your Utrecht Polytechnic Institute or how your government offers you "higher education" free of charge.
Logan Peterson
Somewhat agree. I see it more with adult slow pitch/softball leagues. They are the ones who peaked in high school.
Anthony Ramirez
>Utrecht Polytechnic Institute
kek, you have no idea how close to home you got.
Jordan Morales
>Do you mention your squat, dl and bp in your CV bro?
I think i'm going to do this for shits and giggles. Might even be a good idea because anything that shows dedication is smart to put on your CV.
Henry Sanchez
>The only places with relevant universities are the US and UK.
and you can forget about them if you dont have rich parents. don't matter how good you are with balls.
Lincoln Hughes
>being bigger and stronger isn't an advantage in American football top zozzle
Tyler Jackson
>Cites one study that doesn't even fully confirm your point
Also, which do you think would get you hired, actual qualifications or telling someone that you were pretty good at tossing a ball, but not good enough to make a living from it.
Josiah Gutierrez
>have huge friend who played football and wrestled in hs. is now in the army >one time when he was back and we were getting drunk i said we should go to the gym >he was down >i asked him his best numbers and he said 435x3 squat >my jaw fucking dropped i realize now that they were probs football-style quarter squats, but dude was/is huge so i was inclined to believe him
Jose Robinson
well, i agree playing team sports improves your social skills and you'd probably get more connections that way to get a good internship or whatever. but i doubt there is much difference if you weren't an autist in the first place.
