The Body Shapes of the Worldās Best Athletes Compared Side By Side
Health and fitness comes in all shapes and sizes. Every single one of these athletes is a certified bad-ass.
Iāve posted this before but itās worth reblogging!
Just a reminder - if youāre drawing a team superhero book and more than one of your characters has the same build YOUāRE DOING IT ALL WRONG
Always reblog
This is excellent.
Itās also important to note that often (though not always!) physique is associated with oneās strength. Bodybuilders have defined muscles. Weightlifters and wrestlers have bulk. Gymnasts and boxers are small but muscular. Volleyball and basketball players are tall and lean. Runners and bikers are skinny with muscular legs. Hockey players and skiiers have powerful core muscles and thighs. Those who do field sports (discus, shot-putting, etc) have powerful chests and arms.Ā
Obviously, there are exceptions, but athletes often have physiques that match their area. Not everyone is good at the same thing, nor is everyoneās body necessarily built for the same thing. Humans come in a lot of different shapes, and thatās a good thing, because not every shape is ideal for every activity.
