He's a swimmer because he has that body, he doesn't have that body because he's a swimmer.
Cope
Some 5'9 manlet with short arms wouldn't go into swimming unless he's moronic
he's as accomplished because of that, but it's cope to think if someone trained the same he did they wouldn't look amazing if not even better possibly. there's nothing that says perfect body for swimming = perfect aesthetics
I think it's both, that while the training regime pushes towards the particular physique it also quickly eliminates those that can't cut it.
This. All olympic swimmers look like this because people with non-swimmer body frames don't excel at swimming. Just like looking like am NBA player is about the frame you're born with. It's not rocket science anons.
is right, you have to be born with the right frame/build: long torso with big lung capacity, short legs which are more powerful levers for kicking, big feet as good paddles, wide shoulders for big lats and stroke strength. If you have that and a lifetime of good training, coaching, and nutrition, you can be a good swimmer. But it mostly boils down to genes
you're literally dumb
swimming from a young age will shape your frame
same as with gymnastics, ballet, etc.
that said there's shit like feet size that training will have little or no effect on
got back to swimming post-rona as pure unadultered BLOATmode
my old coach didn't even recognize me
do it homosexual, nobody gives a frick about your gut and it's gonna be under the water 99% of the time anyway
you still can do it for fun
yeah you will have to put literally twice the effort to catch up with 6'3 chads but whatever
disgusting troony lover
swimming won't get you jacket but you will end up with a reasonably aesthetic body (pic related)
complement it with a modicum of gymceling (really even just some curls and forearm training will do) and you can look 9/10
I swam all my life growing up. Still didnt end up with a swimmers body frame. Nowhere even close to it.
How much do you swim tho? Swimming really isnt ideal for pure muscle building, and even doing it at an excessive/elite level (7+ times a week) will not get you "big" in IST standards.
I also "grew up swimming" (aka "we had a pool") but competitive swimmers train 12+ hours per week year-round. There's just no comparison.
I want to start swimming but I’m fat and embarrassed
Swimming was what I did when I was fat and trying to lose weight. I swam every other day, and went to the gym every other day. Worked like a charm.
Please tell me exactly what you did and what your weight was
My gym membership which costs 40 dollars a month includes an indoor swimming hall so I figured why not combine lifting with swimming. Also, swimming was my preferred form of cardio at the time.
I did a shitty every-other-day lifting regiment that I don't have anymore. It was a full body routine, but very suboptimal. When swimming, I did breast stroke until I could swim 700 meters without rest. Then I started to throw in some freestyle front crawl and did progressive overload until I could swim 500 meters freestyle and a few hundred meters breast stroke, all without rest. I eventually decided that swimming for cardio was time inefficient due to cardio gains and not feeling like doing high intensity swimming. So I started jogging instead, but eventually stopped doing cardio in favour of only lifting. But I'm trying to get back into cardio soon. I got an experienced PT acquaintance to make me a 5x per week program once I decided to stop swimming and have been following that program ever since.
I'm 188cm and went from 95kg to 82 kg in 4 months but have stalled ever since in terms of weight and strength due to life getting in the way of me working out as hard as I did at first. I'm now 8 months into lifting.
Pic related was just when my gym progress was about to stall. Bad sleep, finals in school, a week long vacation, a very inconsistent job schedule, and hanging out with friends more consistently got the best of me ever since.
I can't believe you lost 11 kg between those two pictures. I would have guessed you weighed about the same considering muscle is denser than fat, and you gained a lot of muscle.
You either carried a lot of fat in your legs or you gained 0 muscle in your legs.
>You either carried a lot of fat in your legs or you gained 0 muscle in your legs
Both of those statements might be true to a small extent. I don't train legs as consistently as upper body, and me legs have always been chunky. But The second picture is flexed and with a chest pump I believe. It is kind of an angle fraud too to be honest. Pic related is me in the exact same spot, same lighting, completely relaxed and without a pump
Haha nice, you look good either way but the difference is significant for sure. Make sure you're training your transverse abdominis (natural ab belt) so your belly doesn't stick out like that when you're at rest (pull your abs in whenever you do any ab work or squats/deadlifts).
Thanks for the tip, fren. Will definitely do that going forward. I have also not trained abs at all for several months. Should probably get back to doing that soon.
how tall are you? 5'10?
As I said, 188 cm, or 6'2. Was kind angle frauding here. Check
instead if you doubt
Not doubting, just asking . And yeah you look much taller here
Also I must have heavy as frick bones because I'm 189cm and was 82 kg in pic related.
you can't see shit here. did you actually think this was worth posting?
>Not doubting, just asking
Oh yeah, forgot that 5'10 is actually not that short. I've had genelets accuse me of being several inches shorter than that even. Not to mention the guy who wrote ">roiding for thus" as a response to the later pic, kek.
I can't really tell much from that clothed image. Maybe you have lower body fat, different fat distribution, or better stomach posture or something.
Swimming is the best thing for you if you're fat because it's good cardio but won't frick up your joints
>won't frick up your joints
My knee always locks out when I swim, so if you have bad joints try something else.
For me, its the bicycle
What motion are you doing to lock up your knee while swimming? That doesn't make any sense to me.
Any motion, sadly.
The lubrication malfunctions when its cold, and thermal swimming pools are kinda rare
whale chad
Just do it, no one cares
just do it. I lost weight before I started swimming so I look half decent in briefs but there's so many fat people around man. You'll mog anyone in a span of two months if you swim regularly and keep your kcal intake in check.
research open water swimming
Same here, there is a huge olympic-size pool at my gym but I'm fat right now with man-boobs. Oh and the lifeguards (2 present at all times) are always cute 17-20 y-o girls
I'll start swimming in a month or 2 once I'm slightly more aesthetic
you will unironically float better if you're fat, it's an advantage. Muscular people actually don't float very well
search engines and videoplatforms can give you many answers
nobody on this shithole website knows anyhing
He's just lean and has a little bit of muscle

if you're a young female with a body still in development do not swim
Absolutely beta advice. If youre a young developing female, do swim. Broad shoulders, tight, slender body? frick yeah
t. swimchad
gay
any day bro
>Broad shoulders, tight, slender body
Hot as frick, need me some man ass asap.
Imagine pushing the narrative that an inverted triangle torso is attractive for females.
>he would not breed a 6' Amazon to beget strong sons

Swimming selects for these features, not creates them. Sure, olympic caliber swimoids are all going to have mutant proportions, but the average swimmer will only be fit and trim.
I go to a neighborhood pool staffed by college students on summer vacation, and all the swimming trainers are fricking gorgeous. None of them have jacked proportions. They're all fit and firm and just basically at the top of their genetic potential.
>Swimming selects for these features, not creates them.
It does significantly develop triceps, dorsal laterals and deltoids though since these are the main muscles recruited in swimming. It will not alter your bone structures though. But it definitely will accentuate your V shape. Its a lot of dedication, one might get better result just sticking to the gym.
they don't develop these from swimming, they all lift besides swimming.
see
. These women already had the genes that you are shitting on, and they merely "floated to the top" of swimming. you can't *make* your upper body / shoulders wider by getting huge lats, that is literally just your bones defining your frame
Not true. Training from a young age will widen your shoulders.
>nuh uh
How does this happen other than "that's what people told me happens"
Swimmers are always tall due to exercising in free floating environments, no stress on the spine or the joints, exercise also increases testosterone that’s why if you swim during your pubescent growth you will be tall
or swimming competition filters out manlets the same way other sports do. does playing basketball make you tall? because all the pros i see seem to be
They eat a lot to support muscle development.
Swimming uses a lot of different muscles while being low impact and burns significantly more calories than other types of cardio.
It's honestly one of the best forms of exercise you can do and the water keeps you cool the entire time.
Swimming is a feminine sport, so it produces estrogen.
Same with soccer.
Masculine sports such as football, weightlifting and street fighting produce testosterone.
The reason you think this is a peak male body is because you're weak and feminine.
Simple as brother.
>street fighting is a sport
what load of bullshit broscience. Post body jogger
pic is Nicholas Santos. 42 y/o. Swimming produces ultra giga chad. period.
He obviously lifts to supplement swimming.
Swimming alone will not give you a muscular physique (unless you count 10% BF "muscular").
No shit sherlock, weight training is part of any athletes routine if they want to get to top levels, strength training in all sports has been done since before Plato was walking the Earth. Some people have just made the weight training their entire sport.

You'll never be a real man, troony
6'4 200lbs. Your turn homosexual
The knife was a request from another thread.
Nice physique troony
Not him but you have literally 0 legs. Shameful.

The correct body type for specific sports are known and athletes chosen on this. If you're a little chubboid with söy breasts there's no amount of imitating you can do to get in the same league as a pro swimmer. If you're a 6'6" 150 lbs man you will never be a w
Westside Barbell power Gimli. Not that imitating these people's methods are a left turn, they're still good but you need to play to your strengths not your weaknesses if you are planning to be great at something.
It's mainly just genetics
have an obscene long torso + wide shoulders + long arms, congrats you are now good at swimming.
some people like it, others hate it, it doesn't look nearly as weird in real life I swear.
LOOONG MAAAANNN
yes I know you don't have to point it out.
you can't really see it if I just wear my pants higher.
LOOONG MAAAANNN
I'm just having fun bro you look great. Have a good day.
thanks.
my proportions aren't that abnormal in my country, there's a lot of dudes with long torsos here, I think it just looks off to foreigners that don't have this within their population.
There is nothing impressive about that body besides shoulder width and it is mostly genetic
Besides swimming literally 2times a day for 2hours they will also lift, thease mf-s burn 10k kcals a day
My bro was waterpolist similar category insane trainings
his body is so fricking funny
He would be 7ft tall easily with proportionate legs. Him being less of a lanklet made him a god tier athlete.
