He used to work out a lot when he was younger. He looks like an old dude who just kept up up with it somewhat. Even if he left it for a while, muscle memory would kick in. People are acting like he looks like 70's Arnold FFS lol. He is in great shape for someone of his age, but let's not go insane and start going on about steroids.

I think it's dumb that some people (not you keg!!!) look at a 52 year old man who maintains year round the same muscle tones, pumps, and bf percentage as a drugged up competition bodybuilder 12 weeks out and say that he's just an old man with muscle memory haha.

Dave Meltzer could probably take CM Punk and Micky Gall at the same time, due to him being hardcore.

To be clear I don't know or care if Dave Meltzer is on gear, but you have really weird ideas about the kind of physique that needs steroids to be necessary, and if you think a 12 weeks out competition bodybuilder looks anything like Meltzer you are insane.

i haven't ever seen the phrase "counter-hit" before. you want to say 'countered'. also you're wrong when you say anyone can strike and shift their weight.

You can say 'cross countered' too. Hell, I'm just trying to put this in more laymen's terms here since some people don't know. Also, yeah, not all strikes need you to twist and shift but that's just for heavier strikes.

A cross counter is a specific kind of counter punch that goes over the opponents jab though. Everything you are saying just makes it clear that you don't actually know what you're talking about

More of a fighting game thing, as is "counter-hit", although I feel it's anal as gently caress to call someone out for the latter.

Isn't a cross counter meant to go over another cross? I thought it applied to both. I do admit I haven't even persued any of this knowledge in a decade so I'm admittedly not sharp.

If both fighters are orthodox a cross counter happens when fighter A throws a jab and fighter B throws a right hand over the jab, crossing their arms.

If you want to see examples of this watch Glover Texeira fights. It's one of his favorite punches. Roy Nelson also likes it.

I actually have not seen either Hajime No Ippo or Naruto. I did however see Grappler Baki and it didn't have anything like this.

Will do because Roy Nelson is still one of my favs. Good to know this.

Whoops, was a little out of it. Meant to specify that he looks like drugged up amateur bodybuilders on a regional circuit 12 weeks out, which is not as good as people think at that time, not the heavyweights or even the lighter guys you see in high level professional shows. Obv he's not phil heath :3

When Warrior died, Meltzer talked about how even in the early 80s everyone he lifted with knew of guys dying from heart disease way too young. So it would surprise me if he was using them.
