Every top professional swimmer has an absurdly large bidelt. Is it a result of swimming in adolescence?

No, retard. That's just the body type that swims well.

The "mewing" mentality has done massive damage to this site. You can't juts magically transform your body in every way.

No. It's the same bias you have in other sports; People who naturally have wide clavicles and a bideltoid width do better, which eventually makes everyone at the top 0,1% have the same body type.

Almost all top soccer players have the same slim athletic build with 10-12% body fat. Almost all top basketball players are extremely tall. Almost all top rugby players are stocky.

It's not really the sport that molded these people, it's their genetics giving them the opportunity to play at the very top if they train hard and have talent.

A small scrawny guy is never, ever going to be half the size of a swimmer like Phelps even if he swims 5x more than he does.
You need to have wide clavicles and be 6'2+ to compete at the top of swimming (that is the average height of Olympic male swimmers).

Yeah, OP is a retarded faggot who doesn't know shit.

Same as basketball logic, basketballers are not tall because they play basketball, they play basketball because they're genetically tall.

Swimmers don't have that physique from swimming, they're swimmers because they genetically have that body type which is good at swimming and that's how they became swimmers.

OP you are a fucking retard jfl greycel question but yes ur a greycel anyway

This isn't really like basketball. Swimmers have almost identical physiques; whereas basketballers are "diverse" in that aspect. Lanky, skinny, muscular, etc.

I'm obviously not retarded enough to think that swimming at 10 years old with give you a 24 inch bidelt. But looking at even the women's swimming athletes, they share, again, a similair physique to the mens. Which is interesting.

I never implied that. But its hard to deny that swimming wouldn't have some affect even minor; I agree its all genetics at that level. But even the women share extremely similair phyiques to the men.
 
Barely any elite sport athletes have the same physiques as swimmers so it doesn’t matter lol
They have insane genetics + roids.

Gymnasts have similar physiques too
 
It's called selection bias. Google what this means
