he is a nobody who wasted all his career in a second rated league and went to a non-rated one for money
This cunt is unbelievable. He has flat out refused to try and make something of his career, probably out of fear of simply not being good enough for a top European side, but somehow he thinks he still has the right to talk about which top side he'd pick?

Stop trying to turn this into a pro powerlift thing. Powerlifting does not make you a good fighter anymore than bodybuilding would.

There's only one lift that is going to have any significant impact when fighting and that is the deadlift. Simply because it teaches you to pick heavy stuff up and when trying to turn over an aggressor, that is obviously a useful skill.

But even the deadlift will only be useful up to a point. Your opponent probably won't weigh 200 kilos. Let's say he weighs 100. You need to be able to lift 100kg comfortably. Most bodybuilders will have deadlifted that weight for reps, so they are comfortable with that weight every bit as much as powerlifters.

The difference is bodybuilders, like you say, do a fair bit of volume. During any fight muscle endurance is going to matter. You might be able to lift 160kg, but the bodybuilder might be more comfortable lifting 100kg ten times. His muscle endurance is probably going to be better than yours. Because he's no doubt leaner than you too, his general stamina will outlast yours as well.

What I'm saying here does not count for professional bodybuilders though. Every one of those guys is on steroids and has built so much mass they are hardly able to move. I bet their balance is all off too and they probably fall over quite easily. That shit tends to happen when you can't walk properly.

I do not know what a lilliebridge is. Is it some kind of fat leprechaun?
Both on the floor and standing up, if two people grapple eachother and neither is skilled in locking joints, the strongest of the two will subdue the other. If the difference in explosive strenght is great, stamina never becomes a thing cause you'll have overturned the other in seconds.

I tought you had also practiced Judo ?

I didnt think he's actually say such crap, what the hell.

I also cannot remember one rumor of Bayern

We have already signed Schick and probably the #10 from Rats, and Beppe is deep in negotiations for Mbappe and secretly tying up the Higuain to Chelsea deal.


:beppe:
Higuain is at least as good as Mbappe (at least for now...) - The difference is Mbappe is half his age and has the potential of being the best in the world!
I can see Conte chasing Higuain but cant see him spending more than 60-70M on him while Mbappe will probably cost double that amount...
1. Its not happening..
2. I know you didnt really say that this is what you think but I do want to address this
3. It will be a great deal for us even if in terms of quality we will not really strengthen ourselves as I wrote before Higuain is at least as good (for now) - The thing is - Marketing+age make him a player that you dont want to pass on...

New rumor from FI (Bullshit IMO) say we will try to sell both Cuad and A.Sandro and get Bernardeschi and D.Costa

I must say this mercato is extremely quiet and boring - hope we get someone good soon

Chiesa sounds interesting. Bernardeschi and chiesa would certainly piss fiorentina fans off.

Would be majorly peeved if we lost sandro to get costa. Cuadrado out for bernardeschi is fine with me.

:D

btw it's not happening sadly. mbappe's gonna be the best striker of the next 10 years, he's man.utd/real/psg bound.

- - - Updated - - -

Chiesa isn't proven any more so than Orsolini. Im happy with Berna and Orsolini. I dont understand why people dont get hyped up on Orsolini?
too young and too italian. if he was lolzilian, everybody would be fapping over him. he's a great prospect nevertheless.
