They are lifting to build muscle yes, not size! Big difference. You can be very strong and not have big muscles
Except strength sports athletes don't do it to look good either. I'm a strongman and I've never benched, there's no point it's not part off the sport. My power clean is bigger than my bench.
You can still have a lot of muscle and still move fast and explosive. The point is to also work on building explosive strength and conditioning as well. People like Brock Lesnar showed this. And yes I know somebody is going to say he was on roids. Roids only enhance what your body is already capable of doing.
The principle of specificity!
Bro thinks only bodybuilders lift weights, have you ever heard of power lifting?
1 second into the video "Anime fighters do lift weights"
My ears
or say f*ck it and do an eddie hall build
“Mma fighters are not lifting to gain muscle” cuts to McNugget on all the steroids 😂
But they also build musclea
Bro said a whole lot of nothing
They are trained to kill not to be a show piece
Mma fighter dont lift weights.
Shows volkanovski who regularly uses a trap bar deadlift, and jbj who powerlifts as a hobby.
Мпло кто знает,что парни с дагестана и прочих кавказких регионов,пользуются услугой по ломанию ушей за деньги,для того чтоб выглядеть устрашающе
Haha. It took a minute for me to get that you were saying MMA. I heard Anime
I have a feeling bro was sleep deprived during this
You workout to get better at working out. They workout to get better at a skill.
Working out just to work out is honestly kindof stupid bc you could just train your sport/skill MORE. That being said i love working out and have no martial arts gym anywhere near my town so. And that costs usually a lot of money. As well as having a 4×4 and kayaks or whatever and storing them and all that or friends to play basketball with or whatever.
Do whats in your control. Have good fun. Be cheap on sht you dont care about so you can totally splurge on sht you love or need.
Lord Jesus Christ loves you!❤
I think they lift weights but they'll have to keep a lean body?
Yapping yapping yapping
You know everybody's different.
If everyone did the same thing then no one would stand out.
You don't progress unless you do different stuff.
You plateau.
Don't listen to this guy.
This guy sux.
Boo!
Boo this guy.
Thats not what jon jones had to say
What idiot thinks fighters "don't lift weights"?
Meanwhile the GOAT (Jon Jones) has a 700+ lb deadlift 😂

Francis Ngannou : 😮😮😮
McLeprechaun waddling towards the heavy bag 😂
Chega a ser inacreditável 😂😂😂
Just say they do strength training dude
Anime fighters
Who's the girl in this video?
So when they need to cut weight, they shouldn't lift heavy? But focus more on speed and power? No, cutting weight doesn't depends on the exercise, its on the diet, its a 80 – 30 or so ratio of diet and working out to cut weights
It used to be having talent that pulled in the numbers, now it’s making generic ass ai generated videos to spew some stupid shit
