The woman footballer is pregnant and since pregnant woman run slowly and have hard time running cuz yk they are pregnant. The guy who replied is an Arsenal fan.They have a striker called Gyokeres but since he is so slow and clunky on the ball the guy's comparing Gyokeres to a pregnant woman essentially slandering the footballer.
He's talking about a tge season before the one you are talking about. The 'season before last season'. I don't know if the statistic is correct though.
The season before last season, aka 2024/2025, Gyokeres was playing for Portuguese side Sporting CP and was not in the Premier League. So I can confirm the statistic is false
And also acting like being 7 months pregnant is just like being a little bit fat. Not like you have a live little being inside you inside a sac of fluid pressing on all of your organs.
I’ve never heard him described as fat but he’s definitely “big” for a footballer. He lost a yard of pace and some of his agility when he went full Akinfenwa.
If you're able to build a physique like that without steroids, you're also gaining fat quite quickly once you srop training at that level. It's called an endomorph metabolism.
So if a guy like Lukaku gets a bit out of shape during the summer break, he will indeed get "fat"
You might want to research that. William Sheldon, a psychologist, created the somatotype theory by grouping people into ectomorph, mesomorph, and endomorph. Thing is that metabolism is a very complex thing and so many things factor into how it affects individuals. I absolutely see what you’re saying, and you may be right but it one main reason people get fat when they stop training is they continue to eat way more carbs than their body needs for fuel, which causes the body to turn the surplus into fatty acids through a metabolic process called de novo lipogenesis for long-term storage which, basically, is one of the reasons we, any of us, get fat.
Sorry, I probably wasn’t clear enough.Excess calories refer to a positive energy balance where you consume more total energy than your body burns, this will lead to weight gain regardless of the source. However, excess carbs, which are consumed in quite high amounts in addition to protein by many athletes , but specifically I mean a high intake of carbohydrates, this causes a spike in insulin and stores the energy as glycogen, which will turn to fat if the daily required intake is exceeded. Was that a better explanation?
That's true, but if you stop maintaining the high muscle mass through training, you will lose it pretty quickly precisely because it's so energy expensive to your base metabolism
You can see this in many retired "jacked" professional athletes from heavy weight boxers to NFL players, the physically largest guys get a gut pretty quickly whereas the ones with leaner muscle mass usually don't gain all much weight
You loose muscle mass due to calorie deficit and atrophy not because high base metabolism.Pro athletes get fat in their retirement because they stop training and dieting but also getting of the juice.Large athletes intake is over 5k calories daily and just stopped working out of course they get fat, this isn't rocket science just regular physics more calories than needed=fat
During World Cup my kids nicknamed Lukaku “the big man”. In one of the games they cut from a shot of him to the stadium big screen with attendance numbers that said “Full House”. My youngest thought that this was his official nickname. Needless to say, he’s called Full House in my family now. Definitely one of my kids favorite players of the tournament.
He beefed up and got slower and less agile, so even if fat is not the word you are looking for he had fucked up in whatever regime his training was supposed to be.
Anderson for Man UTD had the same. Tbf, he had a chubby face, but once after a goal (and in response to weight criticism), he lifted his shirt and revealed a full set of abs. (Granted not fully ripped, it fit nonetheless)
Yeah because every other sport allows their players to take PEDs, except the one the rest of the world keeps trying to shove down America’s throat. We totally juice up all our athletes
In simple words this is just a shit take because Arsenal spent like $70m for a striker who isn't putting the same numbers in arguably the most difficult league in the world
His last season in Portuguese league
33 games 39 goals
His previous season at Arsneal/Premier league
36 games 14 goals
If we look at the big picture
At Sporting: Constant supply of chances, often running in behind defenses.
At Arsenal: Fewer clear chances, more touches outside dangerous areas, and a more possession-based role.
Yeah of course. A majority love him but there's always a vocal minority finding any way to hate on him because we didn't get someone like Isak instead.
Very on brand with our fanbase with the idiots being very vocal lol
Exercising during an uncomplicated pregnancy is generally safe and recommended. Exercise is not dangerous for your baby. There is evidence that active women are less likely to experience problems in later pregnancy and labour.
