The physique of the male gymnast

[bruteforce]

Things in nature don't defy logic, only our understanding. If it truly defies the laws of nature, physics, or logic, there's something very unnatural going on. Usually movie special effects.

Off Roads point of Olympic gymnasts are elite athletes, I think is the the single most important factor involved here.

It's their job, they have no other demands placed on them physically. I dont know about your work day, with mine I can barely manage squating twice a week.

You can do the exact same thing, as long as you don't try to do it all at the beginning, you'll just burn out and regress. That's why so many full-body routines start out so basic and get more complex as you get stronger and build work capacity.

Ahh ok see now, thank you.

Also doesn't hurt that this is their life. They have coaches, nutritionists, etc.

Quoted for my unalloyed pleasure. A lovely nugget of truth.

Combine a lifestyle where everything revolves around being great at your sport with nutritionists, coaches, and most of all, a million freaking calories burned during training, and you've got a 6 pack all the time.
