There are a lot of muscular men in the NBA, after all, if you want to gain a foothold here, the body comes first, and without the body, everything else is empty talk. There are no so-called skinny people in the NBA, like Curry, Rondo, Trae Young, who take off their jerseys and are also tendons. However, some friends found out that among these hundreds of muscular men, having 6-pack abs is a minority, what is the reason for this, after today's analysis, you can understand.
Yao Ming, as a center forward, is really a model worker, not only has many games, but also has a lot of training intensity. A 2.26-meter-tall center forward, who weighs about 280 pounds all year round, can control his body fat rate at 7%, and the effort behind this must be huge. With such a low body fat rate, Yao Ming can only vaguely see the outline of his abdominal muscles.
Not to mention, James is a specimen of the human body, and his muscles are famous in the league. He spends millions of dollars a year to maintain his muscles, and ordinary stars just want to do this, but they don't have the strength. James is now 40 years old, and his muscles are in good shape, both in terms of girth and shape. However, James can barely see his abs, his abs are more like ordinary people, which is a collection of 6 pieces into 1 piece.
O'Neal's style of play is definitely the most violent existence in the center, he can dunk and never shoot, and the basket has been smashed by him. He weighs more than 300 pounds all year round, but this is not pork belly like Jokic, but real muscles. Even when he was young, O'Neill couldn't see his abs, and his figure looked more like a big belly.
Then some people are going to say that as long as the body fat percentage is low enough, the abdominal muscles will naturally be revealed, which is not the case. Durant's body fat percentage is light enough, and he can barely see his abs, and he can't even see muscles in his abdomen. However, his confrontation, strength, core, these are all top-notch, which shows that he usually trains very well, and even so, his abdominal muscles have not been trained.
It can be seen that 6-pack abs are related to personal physique, and some stars just don't have such muscle genes, and they can't train no matter how hard they try. What's more, the NBA emphasizes the league against each other, and the abdominal muscles are more good-looking and less practical, and they will not deliberately pursue them. They are more willing to train into "adiptocapular muscles", which are helpful for the game, while abdominal muscles are more beautiful and do not make much sense.
