How much can football players lift? At least for amerifootie

>>42062819
Pretty sure I've seen him do 2 plates on the bench press

>>42062819
Legs strong af. I would imagine a 2pl8 bench max

>>42062819
3pl8 x10 squat with good form

200 x 5 on bench, maybe. likely not even this.

footballers are built for stamina, strength is secondary and even then it's lower body and core that's important

>>42062819

Besides deadlifts, and squats, lifts arent really important if you are a soccer player. The only body parts that matter there are abs and legs.

Strenght is quite important, dont understimate it. All of the stamina in the world aint gonna help you if you dont have the strenght to kick a ball. Yet I agree with you, stamina is more important than strenght in soccer.

some can definitely squat, which can make their kicks much stronger

is this a joke? you don't actually lift right?

>>42064892
they don't bench beyond 2 pl8. they just do it for max reps.

>>42062946
the NFL measures upper body strength by how many reps you get with 225

Sprinters train cleans, biceps, front delts etc so they can run faster (see usain bolt's training videos). There's no way he only trains legs.

>>42065637
He trains with the magnets in OP's picture ;^)

>but Ronaldo for example
Does he try his hardest to be the absolute biggest faggot he can?

He's no homo

>>42062819
Why is his wax copy taller and whiter than he is?

>>42067079

stop calling him a faggot
he's a father

Can't believe Ronaldo is the face of that retarded scam. He could do any advertising in the entire world whether it is fragrances, cars, clothing, anything, and he punts some ridiculous abs in 6 minutes tier scam?

But he's a twat in real life, whilst Ronaldo is a nice guy.

get the fuck out of our football thread with your faggot fake rugby

>>42062819
They usually use machines and do high frequency sets.

Football players rarely do "real" squats, as in heavy and low. If they do, it's high frequency, low weight and not going close to parallel.
They're basically doing meme lifts and you'd be making fun of them on /fit/ if you saw them in a gym irl.

Funny thing is footballers have better bodies than 99.9% of /fit/. Even with thier meme routines.

>>42067673

How is it funny that a roider touching weights looks better than a natty tryhard?

>>42067673
They average 11 miles per game and do tons of calisthenics

>>42067685
I know it's just contrary to the fit consensus.

>>42067079
He probably is a faggot after all.

>>42067163
he's not a twat he's just genuinely autistic.

>>42067668
Tbh he looks DYEL in that vid. I get that he is ripped, but in a shirt and shorts he looks dyel.
