Wilt's Tall Tales

[QUOTE=HighFlyer23]no a 120 lb dude who works out is more likely to be stronger than a more massive 250 lb guy who works out

no correlation between size and strength there ... more mas doesn't mean more strength ... skinny 200 lb jordan was FAR stronger than 220 lb Jordan who was beasting people in the post :hammerhead:[/QUOTE]


Did you ever see a 24-year old Jordan who weighed 215-220?? WHY?? cuz he wasn't lifting...

23,24 year-old Jordan at 215 would be stronger and more explosive than a 32-year old Jordan at the same weight with the same routine....TRUE STATEMENT

Didn't Greg Oden when he was 20 years old put on 30 pounds of upper body mass within a few months ??

:roll: @ 30lbs of muscle in one year, dudes on gear put on maybe 15lbs of muscle in two years.


That's like that early season report stating LeBron and Wade were between 3-6% body fat, laughable stuff.

If you believe that a 24-year old, 215 pound Jordan who's being weight training since 16-18 years old wouldn't be stronger and far more explosive than a 32-year old 215-pound Jordan who's been weight training since the same age.....

I got some swamp land i'd like to sell you......:roll:

Upper body mass does not equal lean muscle. Read some real facts, son.

[quote]The Colgan Institute of Nutritional Sciences (located in San Diego, CA) run by Dr Michael Colgan PHD, a leading sport nutritionist explains that in his extensive experience, the most muscle gain he or any of his colleagues have recorded over a year was 18 1/4 lbs. Dr Colgan goes on to state that "because of the limiting rate of turnover in the muscle cells it is impossible to grow more than an ounce of new muscle each day."[/quote]

[QUOTE=HighFlyer23]You'd think he'd win more than 2 rings tho[/QUOTE]

ILt couldn't fake his ring count even if he tried. :oldlol:

You can find similar tall tales about many celebrities prior to I'd say the 70's.

It's mostly BS at the end of the day.

What would've happened to the league/basketball if he didn't wear condoms? Wouldn't we have 7 footers with a 40 inch vertical on every block? or is he just lying that he slept with that much women? :confusedshrug:
