Nearly all MXers are doing the same things during a race, facing the same obstacles, etc.
In football, the positions are very specialized. A defensive back is going to train differently than an offensive lineman, etc. I doubt that a lot of racers are going to run as well as the average DB, WR, or RB. Maybe not as well as the average LB, either. But probably better than the average OL guy, who basically moves mountains for short periods of time.
You truly believe that you could match someone like Christian McCaffrey in running drills? Isaiah Brandt-Sims?
Those guys will run all day long, and be fast all day as well.
Typical stick and ball mentality. Maybe you should stick to football dude
You're allowing your bias to make you emotional about this. Maybe some football player ran off with one of your girlfriends or something?
Bottom line is that both sports require a level of commitment to physical training that most of us "common folk" won't commit to, obviously.
PS it's the other way around...If I played football instead of moto my chick would leave me for a racer
Pit Row
That being said im a motocross guy and a previous football player, but the two are vastly different, while i do think motocross athletes are incredibly in shape, its a different fit than football players..
go research it and do some science work and you will clearly see the different methodologies.
not only that, but moto guys are compared between the top 20 in the world. as to where football has 53x32=1,696.Now if we were to grab only the top 20 in the best physical condition i bet cardio wise they would be close, but power and explosiveness wise, moto guys do not stand a chance, and it wouldnt even be close..
and your chick who picks the racer over the football player is a complete moron.. only the top 10 or so make money in moto. as compared to the least paid professional football player, even if they sit the bench all year is $450,000 and thats the first year minimum.
You know what's the funny part is Al Bundy was a former football player on TV "Married with Children" and it was actually believable hahahaha!! You know why? Cause even a fat slob can play as long as he is big and can knock dudes over. If they tried to say Al was a moto star the world would never of bought it cause he was such a pile. That says it all! Flame on football heroes hope your squad makes the super bowl. I'll be watching and backing a real sport and what there athletes are made of. Motocross!
their is no dismissing of either athletes in case i didnt make that clear enough for you.
Both are great athletes, with very different styles of training that are tailored to their skills.
again, No dismissing of either athletes
No Dismissing of either athletes.
No Dismisssing of either athletes
wait...
No Dismissing of either athletes.
Personally, I think football players have to be in 10 times better shape than moto.
They have to be able to run full blast for at least 150 yards(figuring if they run a kick off all the way zig zagging from say, Mid end zone)
They have to beat down guys trying to drag them down the whole way.
They do all this while cutting left, cutting right, backwards maybe, spinning around.
And they have to Endo their body about 100 times a game with a 350 Lb guy or Multiple 300 lb guys trying to drill them into the ground..
I doubt a many guys could endo twice in a night and have 3-4 bikes drill them into the ground also and them be like, lets do it again.
Most moto guys cant last 15 Minutes main event in SX, in 60 degrees.
These timed mains are gonna kill 99% of these dudes.
Top football athletes don't "train" at practice, they learn technique and hone skills. They do most of their conditioning on their own. Even my daughter's high school basketball team had the expectation that you worked on your own to develop conditioning, you certainly didn't get it from the practices alone.
During summer school my roommate and I probably played at least 3 hours of tennis or racquetball a day, at least 6 days a week. Not keeping score, just volleying aggressively so you were in near constant movement. He was 6'8, 305+ pounds and I'm certain that he would have worked most folks into the ground.
That didn't include the couple of hours in the weight room building strength, either.
He was having to eat over 15000 calories a day in order to keep from losing weight. Think about how much work you have to do in order to be losing weight if you go below 15000 calories.......
No one is disparaging the fitness of the top MX/SX riders. Those guys are incredible athletes in their own right, and the sport is completely different than something like football, boxing, and gymnastics.
