Résumé

TLDRIn die video bespreek die sprekers die verband tussen ras en liggaamsbou. Hulle ondersoek die verskille in liggaamlike strukture tussen Asiërs, Kaukasiese individue en mense van Afrikaanse afkoms, en hoe dit lig op prestasies in bodybuilding. Dit sluit in hoe Asiërs geneig is om laer vetpersentasies te hê, terwyl dit opgemerk word dat mense van Afrikaanse afkoms dikwels langer ledemate en meer gespierde liggaamsvorms het. Die gesprek sluit in spekulasie oor genetiese faktore wat hierdie verskille beïnvloed, sowel as die belangrikheid van individuele inspanning en die aanvaarding van eie uniekheid in bodybuilding.

A retenir

  • 💪 Ras kan 'n invloed hê op liggaamsbou en prestasie.
  • 🌏 Asiërs het dikwels laer vetpersentasies in bodybuilding.
  • 🏋️‍♂️ Mense van Afrikaanse afkoms het langer ledemate en groter spiere.
  • 🧬 Genetiese faktore speel 'n groot rol in liggaamsvorm.
  • 🔄 Individuele inspanning is die sleutel tot sukses in bodybuilding.
  • 🌟 Fokus op die beste weergawe van jouself, nie op ander nie.
  • 📉 Laer obeesheidsyfers onder Asiërs dra by tot vetverlies.
  • 💡 Elk van die drie rasse het unieke liggaamskenmerke.
  • 📊 Gebruiker-geneigde spekulasie oor oorbelying van liggaamsvet.
  • 🎯 Gebruik inspirasie eerder as om te veel te fokus op ras en genetika.

Chronologie

  • 00:00:00 - 00:05:00

    In die begin van die video, die spreker bespreek hul liggaam en hoe dit belangrik is om jouself te aanvaar. Hulle onderneem ook om die verskille te ondersoek tussen rasse in die liggaam bou wêreld, terwyl hul die hok in 'n stoei studiotjie sit. Dit verduidelik hoe 'n paar van die stereotipes oor rassespesifieke fisiese eienskappe, soos atletiese vermoëns, ontstaan het en hoe sekere liggaamsbou eienskappe met ras verband hou.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:10:00

    Die video gaan voort om rasse verskille te bespreek, met spesifieke fokus op liggaamsverhoudinge soos die verhouding van romp tot ledemaat. Die spreker verwys na die genetiese aanpassings van verskillende rasse en hoe dit kan beïnvloed hoe hulle lyk en hoe hulle presteer in sport en liggaamsbou. Hulle noem dat Afro-Amerrikane oor die algemeen 'n voordeel kan hê in die liggaamsbou weens hulle liggaamsbou en spierstruktuur wat meer hitte dissipateer, wat esteties voordelig is.

  • 00:10:00 - 00:19:13

    Die gesprek sluit in hoe individue nie moedeloos moet voel as hulle nie soos hul idole lyk nie, maar eerder hulle eie liggame as 'n kunswerk moet beskou. Hulle noem dat jy inspirasie kan put uit die fisieke van ander, maar uiteindelik moet jy jou eie liggaam en doelwitte aanvaar en werk daaraan om die beste weergawe van jouself te wees. Dit sluit in hoe belangrik dit is om die verskillende genetiese inherente strukture te verstaan, maar nie as 'n beperking beskou nie.

Carte mentale

Vidéo Q&R

  • Hoekom is daar verskille in liggaamlike prestasie tussen rasse?

    Verskille in liggaamlike prestasie kan toegeskryf word aan genetiese faktore wat verband hou met liggaamsbou en aanpassing by omgewings.

  • Wat is die aanleg van Asiërs in bodybuilding?

    Asiërs het gemiddeld 'n hoër liggaamsvetverhouding en is bekend vir hul lae obeesheidsyfers.

  • Hoe beïnvloed ras spierontwikkeling?

    Ras kan 'n invloed hê op die verhouding van spiermassa en die grootte van spesifieke spiere, soos die kuitspiere.

  • Is daar 'n spesifieke ras wat beter presteer in bodybuilding?

    Spektakel en genetiese aanleg kan 'n rol speel, maar individu-altering en hardewerk is steeds deurslaggewend.

  • Wat kan ek doen om my liggaam te verbeter?

    Fokus op u unieke sterkte en genetiese aanleg terwyl u 'n gesonde leefstyl en oefenroetine handhaaf.

  • 00:00:00
    Asians get Hella leine and I don't know
  • 00:00:02
    why the last question is like what what
  • 00:00:04
    do I do to get that seab buum look like
  • 00:00:06
    if you you all you have is your body you
  • 00:00:07
    don't have anybody else's body I never
  • 00:00:09
    look for anyone who didn't look kind of
  • 00:00:12
    like what I could not necessar what I
  • 00:00:14
    could achieve but like that looks
  • 00:00:15
    similar to what I have what is up and
  • 00:00:17
    welcome back to the channel I'm actually
  • 00:00:18
    in Mike studio so thank you Mike for
  • 00:00:21
    letting me use your studio to do my
  • 00:00:23
    content on your property in your house
  • 00:00:26
    the hospitality has been great Johnny
  • 00:00:28
    it's been great having you here man
  • 00:00:30
    appreciate it thank
  • 00:00:33
    you guys we're going to talk about race
  • 00:00:35
    and bodybuilding what are the main are
  • 00:00:38
    there any differences there's a bunch of
  • 00:00:40
    rumors apparently I can jump well it
  • 00:00:43
    doesn't really matter if I can jump in
  • 00:00:44
    bodybuilding but but there all those
  • 00:00:46
    rumors that black people can jump higher
  • 00:00:48
    because they have extra fibers and
  • 00:00:51
    longer Shin bones and their skin just
  • 00:00:54
    makes it easier to jump higher I don't
  • 00:00:56
    know that's dope I love that is that the
  • 00:00:59
    extra Fiers s is BS but there are some
  • 00:01:02
    differences between the races that are
  • 00:01:03
    pertinent for sport performance for sure
  • 00:01:06
    and pertinent for physical appearance
  • 00:01:08
    and potential in
  • 00:01:09
    bodybuilding so to make this
  • 00:01:10
    conversation simpler we can split the
  • 00:01:13
    world up into the three major races
  • 00:01:16
    there is time to find out if I get
  • 00:01:18
    canceled for these uh for these uh names
  • 00:01:22
    they're actually the technical names
  • 00:01:24
    yeah coccoid [ __ ] and I don't even
  • 00:01:28
    have to say it was starts with an end
  • 00:01:29
    negro
  • 00:01:32
    and of the three major races now of
  • 00:01:34
    course there's a bunch of more minor
  • 00:01:37
    coid coid cocko that sounds like a
  • 00:01:41
    Godzilla in a porno movie A cocko oh
  • 00:01:43
    stop all right um there's definitely uh
  • 00:01:48
    you know folks that are various
  • 00:01:49
    combinations of those there are folks
  • 00:01:50
    that are outside of that realm almost
  • 00:01:52
    entirely for example the peoples of
  • 00:01:54
    oceanana Polynesians Etc I don't really
  • 00:01:57
    Fe fit neatly into any of those
  • 00:01:58
    categories but just to keep it simple
  • 00:01:59
    because
  • 00:02:00
    a huge fraction of the world splits into
  • 00:02:02
    some of those we can talk about
  • 00:02:04
    generally what has ended up being what
  • 00:02:07
    the competitive landscape looks like and
  • 00:02:10
    also what we can observe about body
  • 00:02:12
    structure differences and also what is
  • 00:02:13
    corroborated by some research don't do a
  • 00:02:16
    lot of research on this anymore because
  • 00:02:17
    it's how you get canceled doing research
  • 00:02:19
    like that strange world we live in but
  • 00:02:22
    uh there's some good stuff out there so
  • 00:02:23
    a couple things to say um about the
  • 00:02:26
    three major races so there's definitely
  • 00:02:28
    body proportion differences yeah Asians
  • 00:02:30
    are technically the most cold adapted of
  • 00:02:32
    all of the major races so their bodies
  • 00:02:36
    tend to have the largest ratios of torso
  • 00:02:40
    size to limb size so they have shorter
  • 00:02:42
    Limbs and bigger torsos for any given
  • 00:02:45
    height on average very much on average
  • 00:02:47
    tons of
  • 00:02:48
    exceptions um the Caucasians white white
  • 00:02:51
    folks as we call them somewhere in the
  • 00:02:53
    middle huge variation of course and uh
  • 00:02:57
    then there are the folks of African
  • 00:02:59
    ancestry that tend to be the most heat
  • 00:03:01
    adapted which means uh they got a couple
  • 00:03:03
    things going on one of the things they
  • 00:03:05
    have going on is they actually have
  • 00:03:10
    smaller and shorter torsos and longer
  • 00:03:13
    limbs relative to Any Given height one
  • 00:03:16
    of the reasons for that is like if you
  • 00:03:18
    have a big torso it core temperature
  • 00:03:20
    goes up and it's really hard AO to
  • 00:03:22
    regulate on the other hand if we put
  • 00:03:24
    someone who looks like a [ __ ] spider
  • 00:03:26
    into the North Pole they're going to die
  • 00:03:28
    real soon po Bears little short little
  • 00:03:30
    limbs thick bodies seals same thing
  • 00:03:33
    penguin same thing so applies to animals
  • 00:03:35
    humans are animals in fact and if you
  • 00:03:38
    ever like visited Nigeria you better be
  • 00:03:40
    real good at uh heat regulation cuz you
  • 00:03:42
    only going to last a [ __ ] is like 95
  • 00:03:44
    degrees and humid 247 that all heat
  • 00:03:47
    regulation stuff doesn't really have any
  • 00:03:48
    real world implications cuz we all live
  • 00:03:50
    in air conditioning now but it does make
  • 00:03:52
    the body shape differently and
  • 00:03:54
    bodybuilding does definitely in some
  • 00:03:57
    cases reward having more mus muscular
  • 00:04:00
    limbs than it does torsos specifically
  • 00:04:02
    with like you ever seen [ __ ]
  • 00:04:04
    with like really long torsos and really
  • 00:04:05
    short Limbs and they're hit that front
  • 00:04:07
    double and you're
  • 00:04:08
    like yeah you got extra set of ABS or
  • 00:04:11
    some [ __ ] you know if we could crunch
  • 00:04:12
    you down it look better and their legs
  • 00:04:14
    can't really ever get that big because
  • 00:04:15
    there's just not enough femur length to
  • 00:04:17
    put big quads on but on the other hand
  • 00:04:19
    if you're of African ancestry and of
  • 00:04:21
    course tons of genetic variation between
  • 00:04:23
    the probability that you look more
  • 00:04:25
    Ronnie Coleman like because if you think
  • 00:04:27
    about a Ronnie Coleman's like sitting
  • 00:04:28
    height like the length of a so it's not
  • 00:04:30
    so impressive got pretty [ __ ] long
  • 00:04:31
    arms and pretty long legs for for his
  • 00:04:33
    height and you can slap a crap load of
  • 00:04:35
    beef onto that another thing is that
  • 00:04:38
    people of heat adaptive climates African
  • 00:04:41
    descent have muscles uh parts of their
  • 00:04:44
    body that are more externally spherical
  • 00:04:46
    because uh with the sphere shape you can
  • 00:04:50
    dissipate more
  • 00:04:51
    heat um if you have Bubble muscles and
  • 00:04:55
    you're in the cold you're going to
  • 00:04:56
    freeze to death yeah if you have Bubble
  • 00:04:58
    muscles and you're in the heat the
  • 00:05:00
    muscles can still function without
  • 00:05:01
    overheating as much that doesn't have
  • 00:05:04
    dick to do with Aesthetics directly but
  • 00:05:06
    it's a different look yeah and if you
  • 00:05:07
    have Bubble muscles that are really good
  • 00:05:09
    to dissipating heat they look sweet
  • 00:05:11
    aesthetically and you know like you know
  • 00:05:13
    the black guy look like just like round
  • 00:05:15
    everything like yeah that's genetic and
  • 00:05:18
    that's related to heat adaptation so
  • 00:05:20
    just on those two things alone limb
  • 00:05:22
    proportions and on the bubbliness of
  • 00:05:25
    muscles you all of a sudden have a
  • 00:05:27
    pretty distinct African advantage
  • 00:05:30
    and well I kind of explain 90% of what
  • 00:05:32
    you see in a bodybuilding stage cuz like
  • 00:05:34
    yeah if there's a black dude in your
  • 00:05:35
    class you're probably taking second
  • 00:05:36
    that's how I feel about it so there's
  • 00:05:38
    the uh theory that um and most people
  • 00:05:42
    probably heard it that you know black
  • 00:05:43
    people have thicker skin it's harder for
  • 00:05:46
    them to get that you know transparent
  • 00:05:48
    dick skin s like someone like yourself
  • 00:05:51
    or you Branch sh the branch War Ian
  • 00:05:55
    valir you know what I mean I don't
  • 00:05:58
    really I don't know know yeah I I heard
  • 00:06:01
    him like ah there's there's I don't
  • 00:06:03
    really know if that's a true but like
  • 00:06:04
    what is there any Merit to that I don't
  • 00:06:07
    I saw a couple things I don't know for
  • 00:06:08
    sure I speculate there you go
  • 00:06:11
    speculation I'm speculating that that's
  • 00:06:13
    not the case as a matter of fact I would
  • 00:06:15
    speculate that's the opposite of the
  • 00:06:16
    case the utility of having thicker skin
  • 00:06:19
    which is to say a large propensity to
  • 00:06:21
    deposit body fat underneath the skin for
  • 00:06:24
    Northern adapted populations is quite
  • 00:06:26
    High because like you want the fat there
  • 00:06:28
    protecting your dumbass from freezing to
  • 00:06:29
    death but if you are more heat adapted
  • 00:06:32
    you might not be prone to storing first
  • 00:06:34
    of all as much body fat because here's
  • 00:06:36
    another consideration heat adapted
  • 00:06:38
    populations generally live in climates
  • 00:06:40
    in which food though maybe not highly
  • 00:06:43
    available is more consistently available
  • 00:06:46
    but if you are cold adapted for
  • 00:06:48
    generations and generations and
  • 00:06:49
    thousands of years there's a time when
  • 00:06:51
    it's warmer when there's hella of food
  • 00:06:52
    and there's the winter when there's not
  • 00:06:54
    much food and your ability to eat a
  • 00:06:56
    crapload when there's a lot of food
  • 00:06:57
    store a bunch of fat keep that fat on
  • 00:07:00
    you not lose all of it because you would
  • 00:07:02
    die in the end of winter that is highly
  • 00:07:05
    selected evolutionarily so I think that
  • 00:07:08
    there is much more of a selective
  • 00:07:09
    pressure for folks of African descent to
  • 00:07:13
    have less subcutaneous body fat less
  • 00:07:14
    body fat Under the Skin and in some
  • 00:07:16
    cases maybe even store less body fat
  • 00:07:18
    overall so I actually think that gives
  • 00:07:21
    people of African ancestry a distinct
  • 00:07:23
    advantage in bodybuilding yeah um and
  • 00:07:25
    that whole thing about like the dick
  • 00:07:26
    skin thing I honestly think that's
  • 00:07:27
    mostly skin tone because like if you're
  • 00:07:30
    pale skinned enough get them little blue
  • 00:07:32
    veins everywhere it's a [ __ ] look man
  • 00:07:34
    it's a Trippy look but if you're dark
  • 00:07:36
    skinned I don't even can't see your
  • 00:07:38
    veins I can see your shape veins like
  • 00:07:40
    well you don't basically have any veins
  • 00:07:41
    at all anyway you got that J Cutler
  • 00:07:43
    veins yeah you're doing great there they
  • 00:07:46
    are hey guys before we keep going I just
  • 00:07:47
    want to know how your workouts been if
  • 00:07:49
    you're watching my channel guys you're
  • 00:07:50
    probably here because you want to build
  • 00:07:51
    muscle well let's give yourself a little

  • 00:08:02
    10% off now your next order of createch
  • 00:08:05
    okay back to the show it's a different
  • 00:08:07
    look uh but I'll tell you this like
  • 00:08:09
    anyone who thinks that black people have
  • 00:08:11
    trouble getting leaner or really really
  • 00:08:12
    freaky shredded I don't know man look at
  • 00:08:15
    all the black competitors they don't
  • 00:08:16
    seem like they have a problem with that
  • 00:08:17
    Sean Clarita done run out of body fat in
  • 00:08:19
    2009 or some [ __ ] never gained it back
  • 00:08:21
    now that's just one person but I don't
  • 00:08:23
    make the observation in general that
  • 00:08:25
    black guys have trouble getting into
  • 00:08:27
    shape any more than white dudes do um I
  • 00:08:29
    will say just from cursory
  • 00:08:31
    observations Asians get Hella lean and I
  • 00:08:34
    don't know why but Asians get ripped bro
  • 00:08:37
    yeah and they don't really also obesity
  • 00:08:40
    rates are very low in the Asian
  • 00:08:41
    populations yes relative to the rest of
  • 00:08:43
    us and that means that they probably if
  • 00:08:47
    they want a bodybuild they often start
  • 00:08:48
    from a much lower body fat set point and
  • 00:08:51
    that's very convenient now that's true
  • 00:08:53
    for a bunch of individuals in all the
  • 00:08:55
    races but the probability that you'll
  • 00:08:57
    have like a real Husky sort of thicker
  • 00:09:00
    white guy or thicker black guy you know
  • 00:09:02
    like a like a like a d lineman look for
  • 00:09:03
    a black dude some titties and [ __ ] you
  • 00:09:05
    like he's an athlete but that really
  • 00:09:07
    going to be bodybuilding anytime soon
  • 00:09:09
    how many Asians you know like that like
  • 00:09:11
    most of them like they're pretty [ __ ]
  • 00:09:13
    lean to begin with and that's a big
  • 00:09:15
    Advantage another thing that comes to
  • 00:09:16
    mind this is quite common this is low
  • 00:09:18
    hanging fruit but uh especially in West
  • 00:09:21
    African populations almost all
  • 00:09:23
    African-Americans African Canadians are
  • 00:09:25
    West African in
  • 00:09:27
    origin and uh they have have relatively
  • 00:09:30
    small calf muscles and the tendon makes
  • 00:09:33
    up more of the shin length than the
  • 00:09:35
    muscle than in Caucasian populations and
  • 00:09:38
    buy a long shot than an Asians cuz like
  • 00:09:40
    an Asian with amazing calfs is just like
  • 00:09:42
    the lady who Wasing walking down the
  • 00:09:43
    street there's some Chinese lady serving
  • 00:09:45
    you [ __ ] Chinese food that has like
  • 00:09:46
    diamond calves and you're like what the
  • 00:09:47
    [ __ ] how yeah they just got it but that
  • 00:09:51
    long tendon is designed to be springier
  • 00:09:54
    than your muscles would be and thus uh
  • 00:09:57
    people of African ancestry on average
  • 00:09:59
    tend to excel in sprinting and in
  • 00:10:00
    jumping which because they get a
  • 00:10:02
    crapload of rebound energy from each hop
  • 00:10:05
    um that's dope for a sports sports yeah
  • 00:10:08
    um but for bodybuilding if you're black
  • 00:10:10
    and your calves are small and they're
  • 00:10:12
    small not because they're skinny but
  • 00:10:14
    they're small because you look at your
  • 00:10:15
    muscle and it's mostly tended in a tiny
  • 00:10:17
    bit of muscle if you grow your calves as
  • 00:10:19
    big as possible they're still going to
  • 00:10:21
    be bunched up towards the top and
  • 00:10:22
    they're never going to look that
  • 00:10:23
    impressive so there's a like um a thing
  • 00:10:26
    like about calves where you calvs are
  • 00:10:28
    really genetic and that's not entirely
  • 00:10:30
    wrong so if you have really small calvs
  • 00:10:32
    and you happen to be a West African
  • 00:10:34
    origin you got to do your best but you
  • 00:10:36
    better start early and you better you
  • 00:10:38
    better Hammer them shits because you
  • 00:10:40
    will be giving you'll be getting no
  • 00:10:41
    gifts on the other hand Asians on
  • 00:10:43
    average you look at an Asian's Cals
  • 00:10:44
    about they're bodybuilder small Cals in
  • 00:10:46
    an Asian are almost unheard of and some
  • 00:10:48
    of them have just straight up freaky
  • 00:10:49
    Cals um another thing I've personally
  • 00:10:51
    observed with Asian bodybuilders the
  • 00:10:53
    size of their gluteus maximus muscles
  • 00:10:55
    tends to be smaller than the other two
  • 00:10:57
    races nobody's talking [ __ ] about black
  • 00:10:59
    booty size that's the standard right
  • 00:11:01
    there Ronnie Coleman 2003 Jes his glutes
  • 00:11:04
    had glutes yeah and uh but with Asians
  • 00:11:08
    sometimes the glutes just aren't very
  • 00:11:09
    large which I just don't think is a big
  • 00:11:11
    deal aesthetically I don't think most
  • 00:11:13
    judges really give a [ __ ] uh they don't
  • 00:11:15
    care how big it is cuz Asians get them
  • 00:11:17
    stried glutes like everybody else but
  • 00:11:19
    there is a difference in size there say
  • 00:11:21
    other thing is because of that uh
  • 00:11:25
    muscles tend to want to dissipate more
  • 00:11:26
    heat they're kind of they're more bubbly
  • 00:11:28
    and more dis still on the limb we lower
  • 00:11:30
    down you'll get a higher probability if
  • 00:11:32
    you're African that your triceps have
  • 00:11:34
    that Kevin lone hang and your biceps sit
  • 00:11:37
    further down and bubbly versus if you're
  • 00:11:39
    Asian at The Other Extreme your muscles
  • 00:11:41
    are more bunched towards your core so
  • 00:11:43
    even if you're really jacked you throw
  • 00:11:44
    that front double up the bicep kind of
  • 00:11:46
    sits low and it's flush the tricep sits
  • 00:11:49
    back here and it's more flush overall
  • 00:11:51
    you look it's same size muscular arm but
  • 00:11:53
    there's just more pop with with African
  • 00:11:54
    athletes so that's some of the stuff
  • 00:11:57
    that comes to mind right off hand and I
  • 00:11:59
    guess like one of the things people may
  • 00:12:01
    ask about this is like okay that was fun
  • 00:12:03
    thanks Neel the grass for that [ __ ]
  • 00:12:05
    science tour what do I do about it and
  • 00:12:07
    the answer is you know with current
  • 00:12:09
    technology either way you just do your
  • 00:12:12
    best yeah and uh you know most of the
  • 00:12:15
    people I looked up to in bodybuilding
  • 00:12:17
    when I was coming up were black dudes
  • 00:12:19
    cuz they're the best and because I love
  • 00:12:21
    their physiques so a lot of people are
  • 00:12:24
    like well like if I don't have black eye
  • 00:12:25
    genetics I shouldn't look up to black
  • 00:12:27
    people and it's like you're not going to
  • 00:12:28
    look like Branch Warren either
  • 00:12:29
    [ __ ] you're not going to look
  • 00:12:31
    like seum you're only ever going to look
  • 00:12:33
    like a better version of herself so for
  • 00:12:35
    me when I pick my heroes I don't look at
  • 00:12:37
    race I got all all the major races I
  • 00:12:40
    have my bodybuilding Heroes no matter
  • 00:12:41
    what like one of my favorite looks of
  • 00:12:43
    all time is like Kevin Levon yeah he's
  • 00:12:45
    black or at least half or some [ __ ] uh
  • 00:12:48
    Flex wheeler his 1993 Arnold Classic or
  • 00:12:50
    whatever I think it's like a revolution
  • 00:12:52
    this is like that's what the statue
  • 00:12:54
    looks like when they give you the trophy
  • 00:12:55
    that's what that's supposed to look like
  • 00:12:56
    he's black it doesn't bother me at all
  • 00:12:59
    in the sense of like I'm not like well
  • 00:13:00
    if I can't achieve that like why can't
  • 00:13:01
    achieve that anyway it doesn't matter
  • 00:13:03
    well most all all black people
  • 00:13:04
    exclusively unless you're Flex wheeler
  • 00:13:06
    can't achieve that anyway no so it's
  • 00:13:09
    like can you imagine just telling some a
  • 00:13:10
    young black kid be like hey you could be
  • 00:13:11
    like this be like don't tell that [ __ ]
  • 00:13:14
    next you'll be like Jordan and LeBron
  • 00:13:15
    get out of here so at the end of the day
  • 00:13:18
    like it's fun to talk about racial
  • 00:13:19
    differences and it's cool to see it on
  • 00:13:20
    stage because it's noticeable right but
  • 00:13:23
    at the end of the day you just have to
  • 00:13:24
    do the best with what you have and
  • 00:13:26
    there's no reason to fret or worry about
  • 00:13:27
    it or really even dig into it a ton it's
  • 00:13:30
    interesting just like geeking out but
  • 00:13:32
    it's like if you if you don't have a car
  • 00:13:34
    and you like learn about cars you can
  • 00:13:36
    learn about all them and have fun at the
  • 00:13:37
    end of the day you go to sleep in your
  • 00:13:38
    [ __ ] car-shaped bed at home you don't
  • 00:13:40
    have a car it doesn't matter so if you
  • 00:13:43
    you all you have is your body you don't
  • 00:13:44
    have anybody else's body you know like
  • 00:13:46
    people why am I saying that because I
  • 00:13:48
    think a lot of people not to switch
  • 00:13:50
    topics entirely but it's kind of part of
  • 00:13:52
    it is people like to have their Heroes
  • 00:13:55
    and their Idols they look up to but at
  • 00:13:57
    some point they try to like like look as
  • 00:13:59
    much like their Idols as possible but I
  • 00:14:01
    think it's a huge misinterpretation of
  • 00:14:02
    how things are supposed to go you're
  • 00:14:04
    just trying to become the best version
  • 00:14:05
    of yourself I look at kean's physique
  • 00:14:07
    Keon Prodigy uh what's this Keon Pearson
  • 00:14:10
    yeah and I like I'm like this is the
  • 00:14:12
    greatest physique of all time I
  • 00:14:13
    legitimately believe this is the
  • 00:14:14
    greatest physique of all time it's the
  • 00:14:15
    most beautiful physique I've ever seen
  • 00:14:17
    I'm not going to look like Keon but I
  • 00:14:19
    can still look at his physique as a
  • 00:14:20
    piece of art and be inspired yes and I'm
  • 00:14:23
    just a lot of folks out there like
  • 00:14:25
    they'll ask questions like what what do
  • 00:14:27
    I do to get that seab buum look like
  • 00:14:29
    become more muscular and more lean and
  • 00:14:31
    try to work on your upper body a lot
  • 00:14:33
    that's it and like what about more
  • 00:14:35
    specifics like well there are no more
  • 00:14:36
    specifics the rest is up to your
  • 00:14:37
    genetics yeah I think it's like cuz
  • 00:14:39
    that's going to bring us kind of talk
  • 00:14:40
    but I think it's the thing is looking at
  • 00:14:42
    you know like yourself not you're not
  • 00:14:44
    very look like Keon Pearson ever right
  • 00:14:47
    but you can look at him as inspiration
  • 00:14:49
    like that motivates you to want to be
  • 00:14:50
    the best you they lose in that and look
  • 00:14:54
    want to look like they're you know
  • 00:14:55
    they're Idol yeah the same way that
  • 00:14:57
    someone looks at say like can now go
  • 00:14:59
    into that Natty not thing that that
  • 00:15:00
    person's on steroids and now I know that
  • 00:15:03
    what I can achieve because he's now told
  • 00:15:05
    the truth it's like well you don't have
  • 00:15:07
    to look at them as more for like
  • 00:15:08
    inspiration doesn't mean like you know
  • 00:15:10
    whatever they're doing doesn't matter
  • 00:15:12
    it's like if that's going to make fuel
  • 00:15:14
    you to want to work your ass off great
  • 00:15:17
    but it shouldn't fuel you to want to
  • 00:15:19
    look like that and that's where people
  • 00:15:20
    get lost and also you can take
  • 00:15:22
    inspiration from their physique
  • 00:15:24
    component wise yes so you can say like I
  • 00:15:26
    love looking at a picture of Keon
  • 00:15:28
    Pearson and then go into the bathroom
  • 00:15:29
    and just you know what I'm saying oh
  • 00:15:30
    wait sorry wrong video so when I look at
  • 00:15:34
    Keon what I get from that is like first
  • 00:15:36
    of all just art like appreciation you
  • 00:15:38
    know I don't look at [ __ ] Le nard D
  • 00:15:40
    Vinci [ __ ] and like I'm going to paint
  • 00:15:41
    the [ __ ] Mona Lisa or something like
  • 00:15:44
    but it's beautiful but I'm like I'm good
  • 00:15:45
    Keon [ __ ] I look at his physique and I'm
  • 00:15:47
    like I want a smaller waist not like his
  • 00:15:51
    cuz his is nuts yeah but his tiny waste
  • 00:15:54
    inspires me to bring the smallest waste
  • 00:15:56
    I can so I die it harder or some [ __ ] or
  • 00:15:57
    dieet longer SM more consistently I want
  • 00:16:00
    bigger arms his [ __ ] is comical mine
  • 00:16:03
    isn't but I want just mine a little bit
  • 00:16:04
    bigger so I can so I can sniff that key
  • 00:16:07
    on air just a little bit more like I'm
  • 00:16:09
    not trying to climb on Everest but if
  • 00:16:12
    I'm climbing uphill hiking in this
  • 00:16:14
    little Top's pretty far away I'm
  • 00:16:15
    thinking avarest kind of like to
  • 00:16:16
    motivate my ass yeah I don't want to get
  • 00:16:18
    all the way to the top I can't I'm not
  • 00:16:20
    in that kind of shape but on my way to
  • 00:16:23
    climbing my own Hill I can feel inspired
  • 00:16:25
    to be just a little bit more like crazy
  • 00:16:27
    Mount Everest climbing who are always
  • 00:16:29
    white dudes anyway cuz they're nuts
  • 00:16:30
    there's the first um black a group of
  • 00:16:32
    all black that one the other day H and
  • 00:16:34
    faster of course faster I don't know FAS
  • 00:16:36
    enough but I assume it they actually
  • 00:16:38
    just jumped jumped to the mountain
  • 00:16:39
    straight they like they didn't climb
  • 00:16:41
    they just jumping yeah Dragon Ball Z
  • 00:16:42
    Style Just it dope yeah but uh yeah I
  • 00:16:45
    mean like you know who who were you
  • 00:16:47
    looking up to when you were coming up in
  • 00:16:48
    bodybuilding so I so I would pick people
  • 00:16:51
    that I kind of looked like yeah okay
  • 00:16:55
    right so and so you were just straight
  • 00:16:57
    racist about the [ __ ] straight up and
  • 00:16:59
    like Johnny Jackson was one of the first
  • 00:17:01
    guys cuz like first of all he had the
  • 00:17:02
    same name as me yeah and then he had
  • 00:17:04
    massive traps the biggest yeah and so I
  • 00:17:07
    was and I had traps when I was younger
  • 00:17:09
    so I would be in the gym arms and traps
  • 00:17:11
    training and doing you know um he was
  • 00:17:14
    one um when will bonut came in the scene
  • 00:17:16
    I favored his physique a lot cuz we kind
  • 00:17:18
    of very similar physique but he was a
  • 00:17:20
    little more he's a little more thicker
  • 00:17:21
    than I am at the bottom a little more
  • 00:17:23
    streamline in the way size but like
  • 00:17:25
    thickness like we're good friends too
  • 00:17:26
    but like just seeing him like person
  • 00:17:29
    being the same height relative same
  • 00:17:31
    height and whatnot that you know guys
  • 00:17:33
    like that motivated me I never look for
  • 00:17:36
    and anyone who didn't look kind of like
  • 00:17:39
    what I could not necessar what I could
  • 00:17:40
    achieve but like that looks similar to
  • 00:17:42
    what I had but you're a pro so it's
  • 00:17:44
    different for you yeah you actually hit
  • 00:17:45
    a real shot of looking like these
  • 00:17:46
    [ __ ] the rest of us might not
  • 00:17:48
    see I didn't know that at the time
  • 00:17:49
    though okay so for for me it was never
  • 00:17:51
    like like my best friend was he had he
  • 00:17:54
    has a 46 in vert ran a 429 went to
  • 00:17:57
    Syracuse my buddy played it you know um
  • 00:17:59
    these are black folks yeah girl Brothers
  • 00:18:01
    right all them and they all were like
  • 00:18:04
    better than me I was I was you know I
  • 00:18:06
    always shine in the work ethic and I was
  • 00:18:08
    strong yeah and I was like if you put
  • 00:18:11
    all of us in one group I was fast
  • 00:18:13
    average for them yeah maybe fast for
  • 00:18:15
    everyone else but in that group I wasn't
  • 00:18:17
    the fastest but outside the group I'm
  • 00:18:19
    really fast so I really know any of that
  • 00:18:22
    until like literally until like recently
  • 00:18:24
    till like coming off of steroids and
  • 00:18:26
    everything else then being like holy
  • 00:18:28
    [ __ ] like I'm still jacked look like
  • 00:18:30
    this and not really doing much to
  • 00:18:31
    achieve this if I come off steroids I'll
  • 00:18:34
    just disappear straight up that's fig
  • 00:18:35
    Steve said I'm saw you like I came off I
  • 00:18:37
