You can build core strength and explosiveness without getting bigger

correct, but just because you’re lifting weights doesn’t mean you’re getting bigger

Yes, and the original statement was something tot he effect of “does he lift weights, i always thought as a pro athlete you had to at least a little bit”, inferring he was small and weak. The fact is, they don’t lift a lot of weights, I’m not sure what you’re arguing

correct, but just because you’re lifting weights doesn’t mean you’re getting bigger.

so you can build explosiveness without getting stronger?

You can build core strength and explosiveness without getting bigger

Its like letting your kid throw a house party, but saying no one is allowed in the living room. Eventually people are going to want to sit on the couch.

Fuck your couch. Buy another one ya rich motherfucker.

Q: “Do you remember grinding your feet in his couch?”
A: “Yeah…. I remember grindin my feet in tha n****s couch.”
Q: “Do you remember why you did it?”
A: “…. cause he had to go buy another one.”

so you can build explosiveness without getting stronger?

doing dumbbell butterflies and preacher curls

i’m not sure any professional athlete does either of these. strength and conditioning programs have become so complex now that most of your traditional beach body muscles are targeted in some all-encompassing exercise, not just a curl or press.

If next post a Nascar post, you are officially dodging the issue.

Does he just not lift weights, or what? I always thought as a pro athlete he’d have to at least a little bit…

Lifting weights, for the most part, is not important for soccer. They do a shit ton of plyometric work and cardio. Goalkeepers and some CB’s (think Gooch) will lift to gain some strength but someone like beckham is better off working on explosiveness and core strength than doing dumbbell butterflies and preacher curls
