A distance runners build versus a football players build is like the Mac versus PC debate. Football players are huge and have very bloated muscles, however runners have very compact muscles designed for speed and in the end hold up better because if it. amirite?

The high impact is what destroys muscles on your average football player. The muscles are built for fast twitch; explosive strength. A runners muscles are built up for slow twitch; more endurance, but less strength. They both have their pro's and con's, both will be better at certain things. And yes, football players still get more girls than you.

Someone is defensive. Life is not about "getting girls" anyway. I would rather spend time finding someone who actually likes me than just "getting girls". You know, because getting girls helps you in life for more than just a transitory time.

Not being defensive bro. The last line was put in there as fun :) Besides, i haven't been a football player since i was in high school! And since when is life anything but transitory?

This makes no sense. Everyone has both types of muscle fibers and does every muscles. It just differs frm person to person what percent of each much is fast and slow twitch. And impact has NOTHING to do with muscles. When football players get hit it's there bones and joints that get hurt. If you're going to say anything that requires knowledge make sure you have the basics before you open your mouth nd sound stupid.

Calm down buddy. I played football from 4th grade up through my senior year. I've had my muscles destroyed by impacts, and I've also torn muscles and ligaments; broken bones. And it is possible to focus your muscles on fast twitch or slow twitch. True, you can never completely make all of your muscles built for either; but you can have a focus. I have a good mix of the two; being a Marine I have to be strong, but I have to be able to keep it up for a long time. You might wanna stop taking life so seriously buddy; getting offensive over my opinion isn't gonna help ya. I've seen the battlefield; I've seen how fragile and transitory life can be. Just enjoy your time and don't get riled up so easy :)

Bloated muscles? Is that some of your medical terminology?

Ya, I don't think Pedo_Cat realized the players get dense muscles if they wanted to that are simply bigger.

say what you want bro, but girls aren't gonna care for "very compact muscles" as much as "bloated muscles"
