The only folks who even know about the bulk/cut process is the more knowledgeable lifters and body builders from my experience.
Athletes have no need to bulk or cut. They train differently than other people do.
I also dont think its that people who bulk/cut are more knowledgeable. Their knowledge shouldnt be coming into question. Athletes simply have different goals and mindsets about what they want to accomplish. An athlete would gain nothing from a bulk/cut process.
Oh no doubt about that. The first thing that came to mind was the interview with Dwight eating Mickey D's for good luck. For sure they dotheir own set of work outs to gain leverage in their sport. Dwight says that he even touches on some workouts as the NFL cats to gain more strength.
I was just curious about, say those prospects who are just getting into the pro league and need to shave off an extra 15-20 lbs or what have you.
I was pretty surprise at Lebron when I saw him practicing with no shirt on and he wasn't as defined as you would imagine. I guess that's what an NBAbuild looks like in order to retain maximum speed.
Just curious to hear why you don't think people who cut/bulk are more knowledgeable? I don't do that myself, I don't think I need to, to get theBrad Pitt Fight Club body.
