How the hell did Alex Honnold climb El Capitan for 3.5 hours straight with this physique? I can't last 2 minutes on the wall before my arms give out.

How the hell did Alex Honnold climb El Capitan for 3.5 hours straight with this physique?
He's probably natty and only works on performance, not looks.
You will find most world class athletes are DYEL.
how do you know?
Know what?
Just look at world class athletes. Hypertrophy =/= performance, and if it's all about the money, you disregard aesthetics.
>Most world class athletes look IST.
Not really by modern standards. Mainly because looking good simply isn't a priority when your paycheck is about how much you win, not how good you look.
If you want aesthetics, look what models do, because looking good is THEIR livelihood.
> (Do athletes look swole?) Not really by modern standards. Mainly because looking good simply isn't a priority when your paycheck is about how much you win, not how good you look.
Most soccer players have aesthetic quads. Most basketball players are shredded. Quarterbacks look amazing. I defy you to find a swimmer's body from a male swim team that doesn't look toned as frick.
To say that athletes are not aesthetic is to have the most fricking distorted view of reality by looking at bodybuilders exclusively and letting them set the standard. They don't. Your average dyel on here does.
>If you want aesthetics, look what models do, because looking good is THEIR livelihood.
Based.
>Quarterbacks look amazing
some do, but you can more than get by with a dad bod
The vast majority of quarterbacks have a muscular physique. The exceptions are few. And then every other football player looks pretty close to a competitive bodybuilder.
>If you want aesthetics, look what models do
Unfortunately, that is pretty much a secret. Not him, but I looked that shit up before, there is basically no info about what male models do dieting and working out. I mean, shit, not even those mentally ill incel forums know anything
about it.
There's lots of youtube tutorials about how to get good lighting equipment, start posing, fashion, and photo editing. You think pictures of models aren't edited at all?

Who asked?
You can do that without being a model, so no.
Ngl the box jumping of this guy is not bad at all.
According to some interview, he does 3 min planks side fornt, other side, 100 leg lifts and runs 5 km 4 times a week.
>If you want aesthetics, look what models do, because looking good is THEIR livelihood.
Male models' livelihood is taking cocain and sucking famous gay fashion designers' dicks.
>You will find most world class athletes are DYEL.
This
>how do you know?
Probably watching actual sports?
Interestingly ice hockey, which requires regular gym, eing tough and fast, and has strict noPEDS policies aside from few people hosts most unaesrhetic bodies ever. Literally just sporty dyel dudes who are not fat.
Performance > aesthetics.
Especially in dangerous sports like ice hockey, combat sports, football etc. where concentrating on aesthetics instead of performance may well cost you not only a title but your health.
because the idea that excess muscle equates to being fit is the greatest fitness lie there is. if people do bodybuilding for fun that's a different story but when they claim it's healthy that's almost criminal.
He's a small guy. Climbing is a sport for lightweight people.
>world class athletes are DYEL
Endurance athletes tend to be so. Sprinters and people in similar types of sports can be fairly muscular.
he's 1.80 meters tall you fricking moron
He's extremely skinny. Hence a small guy.
Again he has far more muscle than the average guy on the street. This is fit thinking anyone smaller than Ronnie Coleman is small.
Endurance
>If someone is a dyel they are natty
There's plenty of peds for things like endurance and recovery, climbing isn't a sport with sanctioned testing so there is no reason to believe world class climbers don't juice.
>You will find most world class athletes are DYEL.
Besides football players, basketball players, baseball players, half of olympic athletes, half of soccer and hockey players, yeah.
he is stronger than you by orders of magnitude
where do you order magnitude? i don’t see it on Amazon of ebay
try alibaba
you're supposed to use your legs. also low weight matters much more than muscle mass.
Rock climber here to remind you that looking at all the roid-trannies on here distort your view of what an actual IST male physique looks like. Anyways-
1) Climbing is about forearm strength,core strength, and back strength. Dude has a pretty big back
2) Route climbing is about technique and endurance, something that you train doing it for years. I'm guessing OP was referring to bouldering, because only an absolute beginner would struggle to stay on the wall of a simple climb for more than a few minutes.
Asking how he can climb for that long is like asking a marathon ROONER how they can run for so long. It just takes practice.
>You will find most world class athletes are DYEL.
Most world class athletes look IST. Stop looking at roid trannies.
Based post.
I would also add finger strength as something crucial to add to one's climbing arsenal.
> one day I'll pull my weight up on a mono .
Forearm strength IS "finger strength". Your hand has no muscles.
You train the tendons in your fingers too though. It's slower than muscle-building but it does happen. If you had strong forearms but normal finger tendons you would snap your shit very quickly.
Your fingers don't have muscles but your hand does.
Roid sisters… how do we respond to this without sounding mad?
He has more muscle than the average man the street. Just not steroid body builder level muscle.
You have discovered the difference between fast twitch and slow twitch fibers.
No, it's the difference between functional strength and roidtroony powesharting.
No it's not dumbfrick.
he's a lowkey gangweeder
Are you moronic?
There are more complex things happening in the muscle other than size. Your system adapts to the environment, if you keep climbing and hanging around on walls, eventually you're gonna be able to do it for a long time
>You're saying bodies ADAPT to stress?
>O-oh y-yeah? Then have a nice day and become bullet proof
>kek-REEE
Autism of course
Our body uses a small percentage of our muscles. If you always train for a specific movement, you nervous system will specialize in that movement at insanely higj efficiency. With proper training someone with his body can easy do 200 pull ups. And they use mostly legs for climbing.
thanks for being the only one that's not moronposting in this motherfricking thread
Top climbers must have absolutely iron tendons
It's a fun sport
t. just ordered my first shoes finally after 9mo of climbing
I need to get less shit, my best was a 6b+ that I trivialised by being tall, need to get 6bs dialled in and start hitting 6cs
I wanna learn to lead climb at some point too
Fricking nice dude. 6b+ isn't a bad start at all in only 9 months of climbing. Leading's an entirely different avenue though. I personally don't want to get into leading until I can do 7b+/7c, that way I can just worry about endurance later down the line.
Thanks man! I don't really have a frame of reference because my climber friends are all much better & more experienced than me
Yeah I'll maybe give it another year or so before I think about learning to lead, I'm guessing they're generally harder routes
Just need to learn more technique and less trying to brute force everything, I end up resting like 5 mins on the rope between every single move haha
thats what peak natty looks like and no one wants to admit it. everyone is brain rotted by people on anabolics now. 99% of what you aspire to be/see in media is the result of anabolic drugs.
I'm a natty rock climber. How many cycles did you think I did? This is just the result of SS and
>i am natty
>because testosterone is natural
>i am on a therapeutic dose of 600mg/week
why do people lie about this shit..
He’s a gay over at IST and will seethe when you point out how small his dick is and now conveniently does not do full body photos
Nattyclimber sisters...
Why would I lie about it? I'm not selling you shit. I have literally nothing to gain.
It's really good climbing with better people. My friends climb 7b casually, they're fricking insane.
That's true. And frick yeah you'll do a bw mono, we're all gonna make it brother. I just set a new record by hanging off a 18mm edge a few weeks back, that was so much fun.
Pic related is the first thing I thought of when I saw your traps.
I have big muscles and when I flex my biceps everyone says oooohhh, aaaahhh and wooooow and "daddy please choke me!".
Today I had a slim, fit guy over and expected it to go like usual, but he totally dommed me with his INCREDIBLY STRONG HANDS AND ARMS, size wise he got nothing on me and I could carry and swing him around like a baby, but on the floor, on the bed, oh boy, I had ZERO chance and I absolutely hated it and lost my boner after which he fricked me and I came that way.
His grip was just insane and his body was hard all over.
Frick climbers.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
>daddy please choke me
>he totally dommed me
>his wiener was so hard
/fit/izen not being gay for 1 second challenge
Hey, good for Elliott Page, he's finally building functional strength
I had my very first 'concerning' rock climbing incident today after climbing 3 years. I went to a tournament and climbed hard but I hadn't climbed for 1 month prior because of christmas vacation. After 3 hours of climbing I was on a super easy route and then realized I couldn't open my finger anymore but luckily it seems like it was just a strange spasm of the finger because there was no pain or pop
This happened to me recently. I surmise it's just our fingers telling us to stop using them for a bit. Thought I was having a stroke because my fingers got stuck when I closed my grip, kek. It has only happened that one time in my 11 years of climbing.
power-weight
its why 5yearolds can do 40pullups
honnald is unironically ultraperformance mode
look at tiny biceps overdeveloped chest and shoulders gicantic hands and grainy conditioned forearms
