Mike Tyson

[tristan22]

I've been watching Mike Tyson box for years and his physique is one of the most impressive ones i've ever seen. Do you guys think he juices up or is he a genetically gifted person?

Mike Tyson inspires me to lift harder:

I graduated high school about 5'9 140-150, now I'm 6ft and about 195 yet i still feel small. I remember when i weighed 175, i thought an extra 20 pounds would turn me into a monster. Now i'm aiming for 220. It's frustrating b/c i have very long limbs. For me, it's taken a long time to see great results. What about you guys?

Watch the K-1 fighters for some mad non-juiced builds. Them are machines.

It's about training balls to the wall. It's about doing weights AND bagwork. Doing plyometrics, doing roadwork at some point, explosive training. It's the package.

Good boxers, I have noticed, have a damn good back. Maybe thats what you're missing. Looking big is all in the back, IMO

Black dudes also look more ripped for some reason, or atleast they do to me.

The old Tyson is gone and the new one eats alot of food and I guess not excercising. Talk about letting yourself go....

Tyson got fat from all the mood stabilizers and anti-depressants they put him on. Iron Mike did not play nicely with others, so they just medicated him out of his mind.

He inspired me to start doing pull-ups after reading his interview.

And this guy inspired me to work my abs, he works his twice a day, 6 days a week.
I still lift and do my cardio as well and the inspiration has helped. I've seen the prison in maryland where they put Mikey, looks high security.

Tyson is one of the freakiest athletes ever. In the same class as Bo Jackson, Deion Sanders, Herschel Walker, Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley, etc. Shame he flushed his life down the sh1tter. He couldv'e been great.

Good luck trying to achieve that body. That sh1t is mostly genetics. And yes, as another poster said, black guys are generally better pure physical athletes than other races.

I have to agree. Look at mike tyson when he was 12 years old he was 200 pounds and probably 7% bodyfat. That is not from weightlifting the guy is just a gentetic freak. A guy like that does not need to lift he only has to diet and do cardio to maintain his weight.

I have seen pictures of evander holyfield and bruce seldon when they were 14 years old and there build looks better than alot of guys that are 26, hit the weights 6 days a week for 8 years.

I like to add Lebron James to that class. This kid looked like a grown ass man at the age of 16 and he is strong enough and athletic enough to play every position in basketball. I am sure even if he crossed over to football or boxing he would do well.
