0:45 into the clip and a Hot Raging Marty Taupau cuts through the Manly defensive line like a Hot knife cuts through butter

Come on Marty ..... Where the fck have you been ? Come back from the dead !

He did, then he ran into....

STEVE MATAI!

One thing that stands out is he was far more agile when we signed him. Maybe he is overdoing the heavy lifting and this is the cause of his drop off in effectiveness.

The fact is You can still be very agile and do heavy weights
You can be thin and not be agile
You can train to be both powerful and agile
Here is proof

Wonder why exactly zero professional athletes look like that?

Marv Marinovich, as Head Scout and Sports Performance coach for Al Davis and the Oakland Raiders, conducted an intensive, comprehensive field study regarding elite athletes and the factors that contribute to athleticism. After testing thousands of athletes at every major university in the country, Marv discovered the importance of the central nervous system as it related to sports performance.

Marv's study revealed that the athletes who held the records in the weight room played the least, were hurt the most and were never the best athlete in terms of speed, quickness, agility and lateral movement, dispelling the theory that the person who could lift the most weight was the superior athlete.

“Muscles simply contract and relax. That's it. The nervous system controls everything—limb speed, power, agility, grace, body integration, timing, rhythm, balance and coordination. These elements define athleticism. The tragedy is that conventional weight training completely ignores the nervous system” states Marv Marinovich. “Our methods, field tested for over 20 years, help cause a reduction in the incidence, and decrease in the severity of sports injuries through the combination of creating muscular equilibrium with rapidly imposed loading to strengthen muscles and, as importantly, strengthen connective tissue, tendons and ligaments.”

“Genetically gifted athletes excel in sports in spite of their conventional weight training regimens—not because of them. Conventional weight training depreciates athleticism because the rate of force production is too slow. The ability to lift or move a heavy weight slowly, is a different motor function than the ability to move at a high rate of speed---which sport demands. The two disciplines enlist completely different neurological components,” continued Mr. Marinovich

The fact is you can train to be both flexible and big on and off the field

 

[BOZO]

Arthur Beetson was big and Agile and the best prop in his time

True but there is a point where getting bigger compromises your speed and agility, otherwise every professional athlete would look like the guy you posted.

 

[maxta]

Impressive spray tan though - kind of orange and brown and shiny

Junior Paulo is 123 kg and his agility is not an issue

Marty is 112kg

Very Impressive .

Lots of hard training and strict diet and sacrifices .

Just Taking steroids and eating crap and not training hard wont get your looking like that

 

[Will on the hill]

Junior Paulo is 123 kg and his agility is not an issue

Marty is 112kg

Beetson was 105kg at his heaviest playing weight, much lighter earlier in his career.

 

[BOZO]

Mal Maninga 107 kg at centre was bigger and more muscular than most props and he was more agile than them as well

 

[BOZO]

Beetson was 105kg at his heaviest playing weight, much lighter earlier in his career.

At the time he was the biggest prop in the game and more affective then his lighter opponents

At present Paulo at 123kg has similar affect

Skill and speed will always trump size. If a team of Turbos played a team of Paulos it wouldn't be a competition.

There are three deadly weapons that kill the opposition

You named 2 of them in Skill and Speed

The other is Strength ( Size is not affective with out the Strength )

Look at the highlights of Pauolo

and check out his power player and his agility and skill to step around players like a 5/8 and that is incredible for a 123kg big guy

He also catches addo Carr in a short burst of acceleration

pretty sure when the bozo was coach he had the mantra that a good big man beats a good little man every day

the sportsman as opposed to the athlete is the intangible in most of these findings

Definitely a special player but which of those highlights depended on how much he can deadlift or bench?

 

[BOZO]

Jonah Lomu

12OKG Winger . Marty in only 112kg

Check our His agility and Speed for massive man

The point here is . You can be big and agile . All NRL players lift heavy weights .

I will concede that point. Will you concede there is a point of diminishing returns when it comes to heavy lifting for Rugby League purposes?
