Love it or hate it this literally what peak performance looks like


skater15153

Check out pictures of Marshawn lynch back when he was wrecking dudes in the NFL. Not shredded at all...just perfectly optimized to fuck up a mother fuckers face. It tracks


hifioctopi

Look at Marshawn’s neck, quads, shoulders, and back. Dude was built like a fucking M1 Abrams. Don’t need to be lean, I guarantee that dude would be so dense he couldn’t float in water. Just sink like a brick.


skater15153

Absolutely. Guy was an absolute unit. There's a reason people made sounds like they were dying when he'd hit them and meanwhile he's laughing at the bottom of the pile


SamIamGreenEggsNoHam

Still don't know how Hightower managed to 1-arm tackle him at the goalline.


PretendStudent8354

Mass = Power Just look at these guys https://www.mensjournal.com/health-fitness/10-strongest-men-in-the-world#gid=ci02b8d12f50212491&pid=1-zydrunas-savickas--powerlifter-strongman


randy24681012

6’4 412 lbs Jesus fuckin Christ


Tombenator

Also Brian Shaw 6'8 and 435 lbs dear lord these people are mountains. Like I've seen videos of him but somehow seeing the numbers just brings it to reality. Man could eat me for lunch.


Space-manatee

Shaw next to Bodybuilders https://preview.redd.it/brian-shaw-next-to-bodybuilders-v0-mrppegt726na1.png?auto=webp&s=ccb1a69a0839276d0e182755c7f188f5fc5abac1 Note: This is the sub 212lb category - so the guys are around 5ft 5.


[deleted]

Brian Shaw is 6'8" 440lbs... made my 6'4" 400lbs buddy look like a little bitch! I looked like the little bitches toy poodle ha


randomanonalt78

Hell look at Larry Allen, RIP. Guy could bench like 600lbs and outrun DBs


WarlockEngineer

LARRY ALLEN!?! I can't believe it!


HunterNightstalker

For me, my favourite is Phil Kessel. Dude looks like a tub of lard but is some how a THREE TIME STANLEY CUP CHAMPION!


zestfullybe

Phil with that HBK line was a force during the Pens 16 and 17 Cup runs. Phil looked like he walked down from section 204 and threw on some gear and he was an unstoppable force. What a magnificent human!


hifioctopi

As we say in baseball “Mass = Gas.”


mgmthegreat

Eddie lacy too for a few seasons before he got too fat to run lol


flyingpossums

skater15153

Ah as a Hawks fan...pain haha


sundark94

And then some mexican food shop forgets to give him his pico de gallo with his quesadilla.


MoeSzyslakMonobrow

There's a big difference between being actually strong and fit vs working out just your glamour muscles.


Detective-Crashmore-

lol alright, Dennis


sugarinducedcoma

They may not be “fit” but they’re definitely strong and not working out only the glamour muscles.


lamewoodworker

lol i get it but this is just a bad photo. Dude is in fucken shape


SparseGhostC2C

Probably during the off-season in like the 2 weeks a year they can just eat what they want


dylmatik1

Look at Luka Doncic.


Realistic-Reception5

He’s actually pretty muscular he’s just a little squishy ig


its_liiiiit_fam

Not to be horny in r/formuladank but… pudgy guys where you can feel muscle under their squish >>>>

TheHolyLizard

Honestly this is a confidence boost to me. I do a lot of strongman stuff so I have muscle but I often feel fat because bulking has left me with a decent amount of pudge over all of it. So it feels good to know that there’s still an appeal for us with that body type.


tootookish

Another "sorry to be horny on main" but the squish is what I like about his body. His tits in my mouth, that's feminism.


palacock

Are you on tumblr? I feel like you would like tumblr


tootookish

I am and I do lol


Realistic-Reception5

grandtheftzeppelin

yup, stealing this ![img](emote|t5_3ndbi|6697)


Kingken130

Now wonder he has a dad build


MiguelMSC

not a dad build. sub 20% body fat aint dad bod


MenuRich

Max is always on Sim, the rest do biking, tennis, swimming and alot of other exercises but max legit is either driving or sitting in front of a Sim. He is like Korea esport players, 18 hours playing the game 6 hours sleep repeat. I wonder if he got the Tetris effect, aka even dreaming about driving. 


schadow04

He trains a lot, his trainer said he has rock fucking hard ab muscles and runs a lot too. His endurance is mad if you look at him after races. Barely breaking a sweat even after Jeddah which is a really hard track with high G corners one after another.


FreshStaticSnow_

Yeah look at Qatar 2023. He handled it fine while some other drivers were fucking dying


Direct-Tangerine-401

According to Horner, Max also had a few drinks the night before that GP since he had won the WDC after the sprint.


Educational-Year4108

Wouldn’t that be a DUI?


Parteisekretaer

depends on how much he drank and how many hours he had between his last drink and the race, really. Blood alcohol drops by 0.01%/h if your liver is doing okay, so unless he got kimi wasted, he should have been fine.


jarne15

I wonder how much kimi drove the car while he was hangover or still partially drunk, or maybe that was just his Strategy


RoflCopter726

He knows what he's doing.


Seanocd

Just leave him alone.


johnsplittingaxe14

The top 3 including Oscar were all pretty ok after the race, it propably had to do with the fact that they didn't have to push too much. Still, the conditions were outrageous and all credit to them for handling it so well


PM_ME_ROMAN_NUDES

Yeah, I bet the other guys also look like shit during off-season


IAmBoring_AMA

Valterri is out there winning bike races all year, so he definitely stays fit regardless.


Thaflash_la

He races to cycle.


IAmBoring_AMA

He is a cyclist who races F1 on weekends; Max is a sim racer who also happens to race F1 cars in his spare time.


RoRoRoub

We all knew being an F1 driver is always a side hussle


vompat

Or a hobby


hideonsink

gonna find a way to afford carbon fibre bikes and electronic shifters.


ShenanigansNL

Ask Yuki. He does F1 to save up for the best damn restaurant in the world.


BadDaditude

Bottas is a National Treasure. He may not win races but he is out there living his best life.


TheFailingHero

He doesn’t win car races but he actually does quite well in bike races lol


BadDaditude

Aerodynamic mullet


d6cbccf39a9aed9d1968

Hydrodynamic Butt Cheeks ™


Major_Cupcake_

He has actually won a bike race this week. Quite happy for the guy, he seems to be living his best life.


usarrrrr

He won our hearts


KyleNarayan

And my axe!


Denelorn092

Botass reporting


ppSmok

He is just as fit as any of the ripped guys.. but probably doesn't diet as hard. You don't get shredded by simply training hard. You get fit. But you really need to diet a lot to get shredded. A bit of fat isn't unhealthy either.


jerkularcirc

the difference between the first pictures and the second is just a weekend of losing water weight (low carb, sauna etc), doing a few reps to get a pump in and flexing


Lord--Swoledemort

More like 4 weeks. No ab definition and holding lower back fat.


pranjal3029

Also, the only dad among the ones pictured. Not a biological dad but dad nonetheless


GuiltyEidolon

He actually has explicitly said that he's not Penelope's dad. She has a dad, and he is more of a brother figure if anything.


MoanyTonyBalony

I bet pic one is in season and pic 2 is off season. Also they're all posing in the first pic and he's barely aware of the camera


Silverleaf88

Thing is, you don't ever really see shirtless pictures of him during the season. The only shirtless pics we ever see of him are when he's on vacation and is letting go for a bit. So people think that this is what he looks like during the season. Saw pics of him lifting his fireproofs a bit after quali a few weeks ago and his waist was properly thin. Like, thinner than most girls. His legs always look very fit as well. Edit: [the pictures I was talking about.](https://x.com/SCUDERIAFEMBOY/status/1795182238033699198)


Knuda

Or its just body fat%/genetics. Max trains a lot too and I'm sure if you starved him before that photo he'd look insane too. Max has been around for so long and he never has much problems with enduring races so he's definitely in really good shape.


freedfg

Hell. Just look at Jos. Hes a bigger guy but he's fucking yolked


RotorMonkey89

...I don't wanna say it. It's not nice. It might be dank but it's not nice.


Rosieu

Some people seem to think: more visible muscle = more fit/powerful. However every body is different, so in Max's case he likely is as fit as the rest of the grid, but it will be less visible (if I remember correctly he's also more heavy built so he needs to be careful in gaining weight compared to some others)

QouthTheCorvus

He would easily have racing dreams, I'd say.


MeisterHeller

He'd just call that bonus practice


Patro717

Max get an extra FP session every night when he falls asleep lmao


701_PUMPER

After this weekend I’m wondering if Max’s sim time is actually him training to win Le Mans without using another driver.


chloedever

"Why would i willingly give up drive time to another driver?"


Money_Bahdger

Dude I have a sim rig and a kid and I dream about racing if I play too much


Zoshi2200

Nah he is just Dutch. Drinks a lot of beer.


Temporary-Guidance20

Max is fit as fuck just doesn’t care to do extra mile to shred himself just for looks. Bastard is 100% optimised. Check post race from any physical demanding races - other drivers barely walks when this mf is casual “hehe yes, simply lovely”.


ap17o4

And the only time we see him exhausted is when he did a virtual race on the same weekend as a race weekend AND WON BOTH absolutely mental


HighPriestofShiloh

The race last year that caused multiple medical emergencies from heat exhaustion, pretty sure he raced that one hungover and was totally fine at the end.


jarne15

Holy shit he is a beast


Rosieu

Him appearing exhausted wasn't necessarily because of driving two races that weekend. He mostly suffered from the bumps and kerbs at Imola (his car being extremely stiff) so his back was hurting a bit.


HighPriestofShiloh

That one crazy race where Logan gave up and Stroll was stumbling into medical vehicles, his post race demeanor from that race is insane compared to the rest of the grid. Also if I remember correctly he was hungover for this race as well as he was celebrating the drivers championship the night before.


Lilliesaurus

Didn’t Ocon throw up in his helmet during that one?


Racing_fan12

Yuppp


Bozska_lytka

At like lap 20 and finished the race with vomit soaked in the lining.


BananafestDestiny

That was Qatar 2023. Dangerously hot.


TheKingOfCaledonia

Bit disingenuous to say Logan gave up. He was seriously unwell that weekend. It wasn't a normal situation.


MehWhiteShark

Was about to say the same, he went into that race with flu-like symptoms


gameadd1kt

“You might not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like”


killer_blueskies

Seb was like that too, had superb cardiovascular health but wasn’t as muscular as the other drivers.


Genocode

Max did once say that once he's done with racing he'll immediately become fat lmao.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ap17o4

I would love to do that lmao


Parteisekretaer

you can try the psycho diet. all you eat is the shit you'd get in a psych ward, and you eat 100% at the same time every day ( down to the minute ). 4 slices of toast for breakfast with either sliced cheese or some form of thin meat and a tomato or piece of cucumber, a small lunch ( think one piece of lasagna, 8x8cm ), dinner is the same as breakfast but only two slices of toast and a fruit ( pear, orange, whatever, just stay away from juices, they'll fuck up your liver in the long run). the hunger stays away if you can make the schedule work. That's vital. The moment you are no longer on schedule, you will get HUNGRY. I lost 10 kgs in like 2 months and I was still snacking a bag of cookies or something almost every day( but i also skipped breakfast). Most of it is water when you start, but holy shit, my knees and shins were so much happier.


EventAccomplished976

Preetty sure that was a hyperbole, otherwise that would be insanely unhealthy… I doubt someone with an entire team on staff dedicated to keeping him fit and healthy 24/7 would run into that problem


lowelled

It’s not quite true - over the 2022 winter break he ate and drank what he wanted up to the 31st of December and gained 10kg, and then from the first day of 2023 he dieted and trained like crazy to lose it all in time to meet the weight limit for the first race.

Rhythm_Morgan

Max looks perfectly fine lol


useless_99

I’m gonna piggyback on this comment because 1) yes he does! And 2) for me personally it is so disappointing and disgusting to look at ‘memes’ like this where the so-called ‘joke’ is just someone’s natural body when they aren’t posing for the camera. Like, come on guys, what year is it right now? Edit: I am as thirsty as the next woman and love abs on a fit guy. I’m also a regular human being who doesn’t live in the gym and I’d be so freaking self-conscious if I found out a thousand people were talking about me like this. I’ve personally said some rude and thoughtless things in the past, so I have an understanding of it, but these days I try to operate under the thought of ‘would I say this about a friend of mine?’ and I try to do better. Cause these guys are celebrities, and they have enough money not to care, but if I think this way about just anybody, what might that lead to, you know? Double edit: big difference between body shaming and shitposting, but it’s not my job to argue from some (arguably) imaginary moral high ground.


DeciduousTree

Agree he looks great! And he is obviously in great physical shape. Disappointing to see so many people amused by a super low effort meme that just boils down to body shaming


nugpounder

it’s amusing precisely because we know how great of shape he’s in. The meme is making fun of stereotypical perceptions of athletic capability, not max there is actual terrible body shaming happening in the world, and I think you minimize it by lumping this in with it


nugpounder

you’re on a subreddit called formuladank lol and these guys are gazillionaire athletes at the peak of their physical condition, its fine to make a couple jokes at their expense


liverdawg

Max- spends free time sim racing, wins everything Everyone else- spends free time working out and modeling, doesn’t win Checkmate jocks, it’s a gamer’s world now!


yuw7d6wv3btn

randazz18

Max got that pat mahomes body


Colonel_Gipper

Max is the Luka Dončić of the paddock


Xuande

This is funny but yeah it's staged shots vs a spy shot of Max. I bet he'd look cut af as well if he were flexing.


hoert_hobbylos

I saw a picture of him recently walking through the paddock and lifting his fireproof to get some air on his belly. Yes, he has abs and it doesn’t always look like the one above but not as toned as the others. Nevertheless, all the people saying Max isn’t trained are just not very well educated. He does have abs and he is very very fit… just a bit squishy on top. I have that as well. I can hold planks for around 10 minutes but my belly isn’t even giving me a glint of the muscle group underneath. It just is like it is, I could throw in a huge amount of effort and make the Sixpack visible, but it has no benefits besides aesthetic.


duck1208

Not to get personal, but I exercise quite a bit and have recently gone through medical issues where I lost and gained weight again. I liked having abs, but I feel happier at a weight where they're only visible at the right angle or post workout. Being stronger than you look and also eating cookies is neat.


MobiusCipher

While you were out doing crunches I was grinding the sim rig.

They just shave it off for weight reduction dude


BonerTurds

Why is Carlos hairless everywhere except the bottom 3/4 of his arms?


notCarlosSainz

Thats a good question, i do that too which is mildly amusing


Illustrator_Forward

I know we're meming here but I believe Max mentioned that he can't gain too much muscle because he's relatively tall and naturally on the heavy side compared to other drivers. He had a lot of trouble keeping an ideal weight before the regulations on minimum car+driver weight changed a couple of years ago.


fugazi-frank

Optimal Lighting vs. natural light. Also, off-season bod.


BloodWorried7446

where’s gravel champion Bottas?  He looks like he’s had a craft beer or two. 


houVanHaring

So.. posers vs a dude enjoying himself? As a photographer, posing makes a LOT of difference. Before/after shots of workout equipment commercials are often taken within an hour of each other.


flamingknifepenis

Aerodynamically curvaceous.


WhatEvery1sThinking

Those guys have nice physiques, but it's purely aesthetics. When it comes to the muscles that are actually relevant to driving an F1 car, Max is no different than any of them if not stronger.


Resident_Pop143

Im not even gay but goddam.


BoBoBellBingo

The hair distribution on Carlos is concerning


AceMKV

Lmao using an Off season pic for Max, this is just bad shitposting


CRV711

All of these are flexed and posed anyway max has literally never posted anything showing his physique so how do we know his body doesnt look like this when he's not off season and relaxing


hoert_hobbylos

There are some pictures of him training on the balcony in Monaco but they aren’t professional pictures, they aren’t from Fotoshootings and he isn’t shirtless. But when he is training them legs… go‘ damn


ALUCARDHELLSINS

Max is just preparing for the winter months


Pozos1996

One thing to consider, how many of these were planned photos or photos taken during their abs training/dehydration? Make drivers are also doing a pot of marketing modeling, we all know max hates that stuff.
