why do the strongest players in the league tend to have chubbier physiques?

[STATUTORY]

guys like shaq, zbo, randle, barkley in his day. Vs guys like Howard, Malone

aesthetically speaking Howard and Malone have more of that toned and tapered physique whereas guys in the first group have more fat composition.

But the guys in the first group just absolutely beast when it comes to actual strength in the post.

Randle can move guys with his body that dwight just cannot do

Thickness

Its why Lebron was shooting over 55 percent in Miami but was barely at 50 percent in Cleveland

[KobesFinger]

Weight advantage but the caveat is poorer durability, stamina and quickness

[Taller than CP3]

this lol



OP tryna convince himself that his chubby physique>muscles

[NZStreetBaller]

i dont think that players like barkley and shaq are chubby as in fat. I think they just have alot more mass as in size. people generally think that just because a player have a round physique that its all fat. but its actually a very solid core.

they also had very strong legs so the power they have in their legs moves through their strong core to their strong upper bodys. basically when you have enough power to move around a tone of weight your going to be difficult to stop.

bottom line these guys were not Chubby. they were large and solidly built.

Malone was very strong in the post, he could seal off the defensive player as well as anyone.

The other Malone (Moses) was also a strong post player with quick multiple jumps under the offensive glass.

Same reason all of the women with bangin bodies have "chubbier" physiques. People don't understand what a body looks like. They think dudes arms make them strong or that the ideal male body is v shaped. Its more like a block.

End anorexia now.

They have a strong and thick core. Look at the world's strongest men. They don't look like bodybuilders but are actually rather "chubby".

Is OP saying Howard and Malone aren't/weren't strong?!:(

[Real Men Wear Green]

here's a useful response to your post

Didn't know that. Thank you.

Maybe because looking muscular and being strong are completely different things.
