Would
Haven't you read baki? Sumo jobs hard
Stretching
Hitting stuff (Stomping, slapping a wooden pole)
Live wrestling
They actually have the most muscle mass of any pro sport, which is strange because all those plyometric exercises shouldn't result in hypertrophy.
>Are sumo guys actually strong?
The best ones are, yes. But this is true of all professional athletes, doubly true of contact sports athletes.
>How do they train?
They start with GPP, but using ancient exercises. They aren't bad, actually they're good for the sport. It's bodyweight stuff, but depsite its age and history, it's very similar to the kind of thing you'd see when you watch, say, a rugby team start their warmups without the balls. Low walks, leg lifts, dynamic stretches.
Then they do practice bouts. Wresting. They'll focus on techniques or certain styles. It varies as you can imagine, but it'll be wrestling training for sure. Close to a competition, they might travel to other stables and do more realistic practice bouts against other wrestlers.
During this, while watching others wrestle, they'll comment on technique, do some light weights or stretches, just some kind of training.
Then they'll clean up, cook, eat, relax (don't forget, relaxation is the most important part of training, it's recovery). In the evenings, some wrestlers will do extra training - often weight training.
A lot of them do weight training, and there's resistance training in sumo as well. (Chest lending, lifting each other, wrestling itself)

Frick mods, frick jannies
honestly it's kinda sad, these guys dedicate their whole lives to this one thing (as japanese are known to do) and most of them end up injured and their career even if successful is now over and they're out of a job despite training every day for years or they're unable to make the cut the ranking system is very fierce to move up a rank is a big deal but going down a rank is like heaven to hell you lose everything. It's really a big gamble on whether you can be a champion or not and yet they still dedicate themselves to trying so manby of them have serious joint injuries and compete anyway because they will lose their rank if they don't it's not like other sports it's truly a test of a man but nowadays a lot of it is rigged from betting and this is a controversial opinion but I'm sure chiyonofuji was on roids and they don't test so good for him but cmon man that wolf was on some serious juice makes me wonder how many others juice
The same is true of literally every sport. I was a nationally ranked hurdler but never took it seriously. Another dude who trained the same time as my squad qualified for the olympics twice and had to pull out both times due to injury. He couldn't pursue a meaningful career duento his training requirements so was stuck coaching kids athletics and living with his parents. That's 8 years of his life gone. Dunno whether he tried for a third time but, if not, starting 8 years behind the 8 ball for starting work is pretty fricking rough.
that sucks but I mean he still got a job in the atheltic industry these guys have no skills and they're massively overweight now that they're out of training probably pre-diabetic and injured used to life living in a stable where they're provided for in a society where there aren't fat people if they weren't in a paid rank they're just left with nothing and have to work shitty jobs just to make ends meet despite dedicating their entire lives to the sport. You or me could just go to community college and get some bullshit degree for a bulllshit job but its not like that for them, that's the part that makes it sad they put everything on the line and didn't make it, yeah it happens but still kinda rough imagine you bloat lorded and had nothing to show for it.
you're just a fricking moron. you have no clue what you're talking about.
and yet you said nothing to refute what i said
because you're too fricking moronic to bother disproving. frick you.
lmao so all you can do is insult me like a common fool but you cannot prove me wrong, well then I guess I'm "too moronic" for a genius like you
What's GPP?
General Physical Preparedness/preparation. Not specific exercises that help an athlete be strong and fit in areas not directly related to their sport. Theoretically, this makes them more robust and therefore perform better.
Yeah they’re pretty damn strong. I trained at a sumo stable in Japan for almost 2 years as part of my thesis and training is pretty much all day only stopping to eat and sleep.
Mass moves mass, these guys are +250lbs slamming into each other head on, picking each other up, forcibly stopping each other’s momentum.

Nice meme degree. I hope you didn't pay money for this.
Are sumo guys actually strong?
Yes.
How do they train?
Under extreme conditions, minimal rest everyday pushed to their limits dunno the figure but out of every 1000 guys that enter a sumo stable only a handful of guys go pro and they don't even get paid well until they get a good rank, it's a really disciplined lifestyle with training and subordination at the forefront. It's like if a training was your only goal everyday and if you couldn't endure it or make the cut you aren't fit to be trained.
Just imagine how their soft skins touch and how it must feel
Wait, do they have gyno?
Onions
Red ones? Have read they are good against aromatase
Imagine the smell (on a hot summer day)
Is women's sumo a thing? Where can I get myself a strong thicc sumo mommy to plap?
Imagine if one sat on you in the train haha
Who cares if they are strong. If you have b***h breasts, you should kys
