American football if you want to be as strong as possible. Rugby is gay as fuck btw. Don't try it.
>>
>>42582640
This statement is false
>>
>>42582640

Why all Americans say rugby is gay? Have you actually seen any rugby game? It's way more rough than American football, there's less protection and it's more dynamic.
>>
>>42582635
I went to darts final one time in a place called Lakeside in the uk. Was pretty much one big booze up full of old cunts and slags, was pretty fun tbf
>>
>>42582652
There's nothing false about that statement. You're probably just a jealous brit that can't handle your sport being shit.

>>42582661
people actually died in american football before pads became mandatory
>>
>>42582452
Hockey, Rugby, Football (Assuming you play a backfield position) Box Lacrosse and combat sports all require a high degree of all around physical fitness, including strength, stamina, explosiveness, etc.

>>42582661
I played Rugby alongside football in high school. It is in no way more rough than American football. Getting smashed by someone wearing full armor every play hurts way more than the wrap and fall style tackling you get with rugby. The fact that rugby players aren't wearing padding means they have to go a lot easier when they're hitting or being physical. Scrums can be brutal though.

I also don't think its gay, or anything, its certainly a tough sport, but every single Euro or Aussie who comes over here has a hate boner for football, whenever it comes on or is brought up they can't help but shit on it and say its for pussies, so that could be where the animosity comes from.
>>
>>42582725
What do you expect with a load of niggas running around.
>>
>>42582739
this was before niggers were common. people still get seriously injured, even with full padding.
>>
>>42582452
>>inb4 some fat fuck says powerlifting. Lifting weights isn't a sport.
It technically is, though.
>>
Hits in American football have been calculated to be 3x harder than rugby hits.

So if you want to play a pussy sport, rugby. If you want to play a sport for actual athletes, football.
>>
Yes, an inappropriately named "sport" that happens to be a variation of Rugby is better than all others.

Now where did I put those almonds....
>>
>>42582725
>weak americans die to a fucking GAME
lmao
>>
>>42582768
Lol, rugby isn't a pussy sport. American football is a load of guys running around with shoulder pads and helmets on.
>>
>>42582774
And "Rugby football" is a variation of soccer that is also inappropriately named, so i'm not sure what you're memeing at.

'rugby football' is the official name of rugby

'association football' - soccor
'gr*diron football' - American ftb
>>
>>42582768
A sport for actual athletes that can run for 10 seconds before stopping to give time for yet an other advertisement?
It's a completely different way to think about sports, a team sport should have a more fluid action.
>>
>>42582768
>Hits in American football have been calculated to be 3x harder than rugby hits
Maybe because you would die after three hits without gear?
>>
>>42582885
That's why football players wear gear, retard. Since the hits are so brutal compared to rugby "hits", there would be a death every single game if they weren't worn. Don't have to worry about protection in rugby since the hits aren't that bad there anyways.
>>
>>42582819
>cherry picking this hard

>>
>>42582908
Because in rugby you take more constant build up trauma. It's less strength and more endurance anyway. You don't have a group of guys fresh off the bench every 10 minutes for another round of defense like football.

Also rugby tackles are actually fucking tackles and not running into each other full speed with your head down.
>>
>>42582611
just your balls

>>42582452
Bodyweight exercises and Jump rope.

Enjoy your brain damage. Boxing is less dangerous for your brains than american football. Let that sink in.
>>42582452
>inb4 some fat fuck says powerlifting. Lifting weights isn't a sport.
Hahahaha, no. It is a sport. Same with oly lifting and other shit. Sport doesnt have to be a team game like football.

If you want an actual answer, none. All sports promote abilities and skills specific to them. If your goal is to just be healthy and look good and be strong, lift some fucking weights and do your cardio. If you want a sport, go fuck around and find what you enjoy personally the most and stick to it and enjoy and work on it. After all, enjoyment is key.
>>
>>42582718
They are all called Football
Association, Rugby, American, Canadian, Australian, Gaelic
ball games played on foot
>>
>>42582866
>a team sport should have a more fluid action.
lmao what the fuck does this even mean, you reset for a fresh round of fluid action every few seconds like what the fuck are you even talking about

This is Sonny Bill Williams. He played professional rugby for New Zealand for many years, before recently switching to Boxing. I assume this is the physique OP would be after?

Having played both American Football and Rugby, and watched both extensively, AF players may have the in-gym strength and size gained from lifting for ages but R players seem to be more holistically fit and able to be big, functional, gr8 cardio, and imo tend to be more aesthetically admirable. Hence, no pads, no helmets, no stopping every 0.3 seconds; Rugby demands much more physically.
>>
>>42583343
only at the college level and above does football become vicious enough to cause head trauma and only a fraction of a fraction of the population is capable of playing the game at such levels. The players aren't big or fast
or strong enough in little league and high school to cause the kind of damage you see in the nfl and college, they're still just boys

Because he identifies as a woman, don't assume gender faggot.
On a serious note (as the guy who posted this) idk why he's wearing it. I can only assume its some training thing, I just chose this picture so you can see him in and kinda out of clothes.
Point of OP's post was what a BODY looks like. DOn't let your insecurities undermine the fact that this guy is stacked >>42583443

Do you think people that are in sports don't lift weights? Kek

>>42583421
Yeah, high school football isnt nearly as vicious as college footbal.
The thing is, it doesnt have much to do with how strong athletes are, its just the protective equipment. Joe rogan explained it the best

No gear can save you from concussions. In fact, it only makes it more likely. And if i have to choose between fucking up my bones and joints and fucking up my brain, i would rather fuck up my bones.

>>42583378
Every few seconds, the game stops and resets, that's the very definition of choppy action.
It's a matter of taste, but this side of the Atlantic most people prefer to watch and play sports with longer actions, in some popular sports the game doesn't even reset after a turnover!

Join a wrestling club or walk on for your local college. Wrestlers are complete athletes; explosive and strong, but also have good cardio. Unlike other sporrs much more bodytypes can find success in the sport.you'll get a great physique and learn how to fucking throw people, without the drain bamage of mma weeb faggots.

Wrestling seems hard to find in western europe

>>42584232
You aren't looking hard enough. World Championships started today, Euro teams dominating. Germany, Hungary, Serbia and Eastern Europe all have medalists. Look for Greco clubs, it is more popular than freestyle in Europe.
