who says tennis players can't be jacked?!?

**kaptainkeezy04** · 04-29-2006, 10:51 AM

Okay now please dont laugh at me like the rest of my bodybuilding friends do for playing tennis but you gotta see this guy Rafael Nadal. Ranked #2 in the world, but he consistently beats world's #1...Also says that he hardly ever works out and I believe him. A college level tennis player practices 8 hours a day and this guy is #2 in the world and sometimes is involved in tournaments that last 2 weeks so you know he hardly has any time to workout or eat right...okay so he is obviously not jacked like a real bodybuilder but he certainly isn't small...could it just be great genetics?

I'm a tennis player.

Why he decided to develope his biceps more then his forarms is beyond me.

tennis players are already synonymous for having good forearms...im sure its just a bad angle for his forearm.

lol i may have gone too far saying "jacked"...my bad...just proving a point that not all of us tennis players are wimpy spoiled kids.

**cfiler** · 04-29-2006, 11:22 AM

I would expect that like any other sport, serious athletes would want to be in good shape to perform well.

**Smak** · 04-29-2006, 11:24 AM

He's juiced before. I've read an article about it. Let me try and find it.

Alot of tennis players from Spain juice.

I love the game of tennis. I'm waiting for someone on the pro circuit to be jacked as fuk and dominate even though tennis doesn't require a whole lot of upper body strength.

It's sad, but I think the best physique in tennis right now belongs to Robby Ginepri.

tennis players cant be too big because they lose there mobility so they have to watch their weight.

**lucabratzi** · 04-29-2006, 12:32 PM

yeah he has a low bf...i wouldnt say 3% but its low....but he isnt very muscular...sure muscular arms but there not big...overall i give him a thumbs up for being in good shape....but not jacked...

LOL, you're right. It wasn't Nadal, but Corria from Argentina. I don't know man you decide who's bigger.. We're talking tennis here so these guy's aren't going to be the biggest mofos walkin the face of the planet.

Nadal has nice cuts and striations though. Robby looks bigger IMO. I mean who else can you think of that has some size?

Yes you're right.

Alot of tennis players use deca because THEY THINK it will allow you to recover much faster from long hours of play, and it speeds up the healing process of injuries. The tour schedule is pretty rough on the body IMO.

I think tennis players on pro circuit would really benefit off of a prop/var cycle the best.

Yahoo says hes number 3 in the world.
I dont know why, the guy whose number 2 i dont remember him winning anything.
but than Federer usually does win everything.
not sure he qualifies for jacked either.. maybe in a pic or two it might seem like it or something.

**BlueAndromeda73** · 04-29-2006, 01:52 PM

No jacking...but in good shape thats for sure

**zimmy** · 04-29-2006, 04:26 PM

**Carlos_E** · 05-01-2006, 08:09 PM

**chest6** · 05-01-2006, 08:13 PM

Needs to eat something.

**Carlos_E** · 05-01-2006, 08:17 PM

This thread should be titled: who says tennis players can't be skinny?!?
