Why are there so few blacks in weightlifting?

A whole bunch of references upstairs can be seen dizzy.

Blacks are the strongest in terms of strength, explosiveness, bounce, speed, and endurance, but there are a few items that they are not good at.

First, swimming, black people have heavier muscles and a lower muscle-to-fat ratio, so they sink faster in the water and swim harder!

Second, weightlifting, the weight lifting ratio must not be absolute strength, but need a stable posture for support, and the more slender (limbs) body type of black people determines that it is more difficult for them to lift the barbell!

Third, small trick sports, such as soldier ball, badminton. These are also not strong points for black people with thicker muscle types!

It's not just weightlifting. The small ball, that is, the ping-pong feather, does not. Water sports, that is, swimming, diving, freestyle swimming, are none.

Shooting events, including archery, are none. I think they have a lot of power and explosiveness, but they don't have a lot of agility. Not to mention being poor and can't afford to practice, there are some rich people among blacks in Europe and the United States.

Slender body and do work.

Forearms, calves occupy arms, and the proportion of legs is large, resulting in many posture techniques that are difficult to master. Personally, I think that blacks tend to choose sports that are easier to earn money or earn fame, such as basketball, olive trees, and athletics.

There is a trend in the United States today that more and more elite black athletes are choosing more to make more money in basketball, olive trees, baseball, etc., rather than track and field, resulting in a shortage of track and field talents, and this is one of the reasons for the decline in the level of track and field in the United States this year.

The anatomy of the body of black people is more distinctive. For example, the limbs of the same height are longer than those of Caucasian and yellow people, because of this reason the tendons of the muscles of the limbs.

The ligaments will also be longer. With the same muscle output, the lever resistance arm of the black limb is longer, which is good for increasing terminal speed, but also reducing force.

Also, body fat for blacks.

But blacks also have advantages in their body structure – long limbs and flexible bodies.

Well, it has a natural advantage in various martial arts, boxing and other heavy competitive events, as well as track and field running and jumping events. In addition, their inherently low body fat content makes them quite inexpensive in bodybuilding programs as well.

The explosive power of black people should be that weightlifting is too niche to get rich. Another example is road running, marathons, all of which are East African.

Black people are in the world, but they can't be seen in cross-country running, it's just that the prize money is too low.

Although there are some black athletes who have won medals in weightlifting, the percentage is not too high. Black athletic skills are primarily expressed in talent, not training; In contrast to the Chinese, China is primarily skillful, not talented.

Because the skills of black people are rougher, weightlifting requires more delicate skills, and black people do not attach much importance to weightlifting, there are very few black people in the professional weightlifting arena.

Muscle density and nerve reflexes have been highest in yellow people, and yellow people are dominant in these related items. Although blacks are large, they have low muscle density, lower than whites and even lower than yellows. But their strength lies in their height and slender limbs, so they can only dominate in track and field events.

Black people have long limbs, which makes it more difficult to control the center of gravity after lifting the barbell, and the length of the arm also leads to a longer distance of movement, which is quite a disadvantage for weightlifting.

The main thing is that the lower limbs of black people are too slender to lift heavy objects, and they can't make the list in the field of weightlifting.

Because they don't want to do the sport, they are too lazy and find it tiring to do the sport.

There are so many opportunities for blacks in athletics and basketball that fools go to weightlifting.

Black people aren't good at that, they're good at long-distance running.

Black people are naturally taller than East Asians, so lightweight events are largely out of the reach for black athletes because their bones make up a large part of their bodies. If you have to practice lightweight weightlifting, you should find short, talented athletes so that many blacks are turned away. In contrast, many short yellow people in East Asia have an innate advantage, such as Chinese weightlifters, who tend to achieve excellent results in lightweight weightlifting competitions.

The second is the difference in bones between blacks and yellows. Basketball watchers often know that a basketball player has a better physical advantage if he has longer arms, just like former NBA giant Chamberlain. With an arm span of more than meters, current players Alphabet and Durant also have excellent reach.

Therefore, some people may wonder what is the relationship between arm span and weightlifting.

The movement of weightlifting seems to be very simple, that is, the buried barbell on the ground is lifted from the ground to the top of the head, and the arms are straight above the head for 3 seconds, this short few seconds is extremely demanding on physical fitness, but black people are born with longer arms than yellow people, which means that the physical consumption of black people to complete this action will be greater, and in physics it is to do more "work". In the fierce competition, the strength of the players is relatively close.

Because black people have a special body structure, for example, people of the same height have longer limbs than white and yellow people, and the tendons and ligaments of the muscles of the limbs will also become longer because of this reason. In addition, there are economic problems, because weightlifting is a high-investment, low-return sport, and the economic level of the places where blacks live is generally not as good as that for yellows and whites, so it is often easier to participate in sports that are easier to earn money or gain fame, such as basketball, rugby, and athletics.

Why did I say before that weightlifting is a high-investment, low-return project? I will explain it from the following four aspects. First of all, the training equipment, and here I will talk about the two most basic pieces of equipment - the barbell and the wooden weight table.

The ** of the barbell is 1-20,000 yuan, and it needs to be replaced after a long time. Wooden weight benches also need to be replaced after long-term use. In addition, if the barbell is not simply used to use the weight bench and fall directly on the hard ground, the barbell will break faster.

The second is nutrition. When China started weightlifting in the 50s of the 20th century, the food standard for weightlifters was 18 yuan per month. Now, with the deepening of nutritional research, various supplements are also being developed, and the cost of this will only be higher.

Because the skeleton of a black person is larger than that of a yellow person, it is relatively difficult for a tall person or a person with long arms to do weightlifting, so it is rare for a person to be a weightlifter.

The environment in which black people live is different from that of other sleepy and dishonest people, and their living environment is slightly worse than that of others, so they have stronger physical functions in all aspects under the influence of environmental factors.

The advantage of black people is that they have more red muscles, are good at aerobic exercises, and have strong endurance, such as long-distance running.

And weightlifting needs explosive carrying power, that is, it needs white muscles, and black people are naturally not good at it.

The black athletes have a very strong physical fitness, and basically the NBA is all black sports, and many of the top players in football are black sports. They have a lot of strength, O'Neal smashes the basket, they are against each other from time to time, and in terms of strength, the black movement is indeed the best. But careful friend evaluation found that in the weightlifting event, it is rare to see top black weightlifters, so what is the reason for incurring it, we have the answer today.

First of all, from a physical point of view, the black movement generally has a slender body and an excellent arm span, so they do more work. The legs are proportionally proportioned, forming a lot of posture techniques that are difficult to control. Lifting the same weight, they just have more effort, which makes their slender body an advantage in weightlifting, but it is a big advantage in basketball.

Another is the monotony of weightlifting, which is repeated from time to time every day, which is also inappropriate for the pessimistic character of black people. They just like athletics, basketball, rugby, and these sports are more rewarding, and they can work out with their teammates from time to time all day long, which is different from their personality and lifestyle.

The last point, and the most crucial point, is to think in terms of economics. Many black activists grew up in an ordinary environment, and they chose sports to quickly change their fate. In the final analysis, weightlifting is still a small project, and both the ability to make money and the attention are ordinary.

Compared to basketball, football, and rugby, weightlifting is indeed too niche. As long as you can enter the NBA, even if it is a basic salary, it is a good life, but even if you win the championship in weightlifting, you may not be able to make a lot of money, and your life after retirement may not be ***, so they are more willing to choose ball games that suit them.

After analysis, you may understand that black sports are still more suitable for sports such as running and jumping, and weightlifting is really not suitable for them. Even though there are more black weightlifters these days, there are only a handful of good results, so this event is really not their strong suit!

Yes. It's because the bodies of black people are very sensitive, and few fat people appear.

Yes. This is because most of the black people come from Africa, and the standard of living of the people in this place is not high, and they are not particularly good in this regard, and there are not many excellent black weightlifters, so there are relatively few black weightlifters.

Yes. Because their explosiveness is relatively good, but their endurance is not very good, they are not suitable for weightlifting.

Yes. Their arm muscles are not very developed, they are very good at running, which is also related to physical fitness.
