For someone to look aesthetically
00:00:01
pleasing, it's not very hard to get
00:00:03
ripped up. You don't actually have to
00:00:04
lift. It all comes down to nutrition.
00:00:06
But to increase aerobic capacity, power,
00:00:08
strength, mobility, you can't actually
00:00:10
look at somebody and tell that. You look
00:00:12
at Tyson, you would not think that guy
00:00:13
was in shape because you're looking for
00:00:15
a six-pack, you're looking for big
00:00:16
muscles, but his aerobic capacity is
00:00:18
absolutely insane. You know, the guy
00:00:19
can't lift very much. Is it because he's
00:00:20
so big? Absolutely not. It's because of
00:00:22
connectivity. The connectivity means the
00:00:24
punch goes from the bottom of his foot
00:00:25
to the end of his hand. He's able to
00:00:27
knock people out because he's super
00:00:28
strong. A lot of people they look at
00:00:29
Anthony Joshua got a lot of muscle. You
00:00:31
know muscle consumes oxygen more than
00:00:33
anything else.
