KB has been posting some thirst traps photos that Jack Kelly and other commentators find too scurrilous for comment. I figured we should talk about it here. Kristian Blummenfelt looks sucked out. Check his Instagram. I mean leaner than he’s ever been in his life.
I would guess he’s on GLP1s. How else do you get that lean after never ever being that lean? By the way, that is totally legal.
What do you think? Is KB on the reta train?
I wouldn’t be surprised if he were leaner. I agree he looks like it.
But equally so, I’ve seen pictures taken a few days a part that make him look chunky or make him look like he doesn’t have an ounce of body fat.
He’s certainly got a unique body he should be grateful for that does amazing things.
When you work out as much as he does, you don’t need drugs to stay skinny. Unless those are anabolics. GLP-1 would not be helpful in any sense.
I’ll try to be polite in response… KB has always had low body fat. People really should take the time to look at his body shape, in particular his chest cavity, it’s huge. To say an athlete like KB who would struggle to consume enough calories to meet his demands needs an appetite suppressant is absurd.
As for body fat though he has been rocking a 6 pack for years… This is from 5 years ago…
GLP1s tend to not be very compatible with world class training loads. Can’t see him using them in season…and really has no reason to.
I think the photo you are talking about is a lot about angles. But I remember him saying when riding in nice in the winter video he needs to get more prepared for the uphills so maybe he did try to cut some “ mass” . Not maybe body fat per say.
Also lots of people look bigger when they breath during sport vs a posed photo.
No he definitely looks far leaner than ever. Even in the Ironman Texas footage he looked like a shell of his former self. And he is leaner since then.
I think he’s getting ready to absolutely tear the legs off everyone in the Nice marathon. It’s going to be so easy for him to keep up and sit in on the bike given how light he is now. I suspect he’s cutting weight on purpose. Why else post all these thirst traps? He’s obsessed with weight.
Maybe a bit of fat like 1-2 %which would be 2-3 lbs. I think if anything he cut some mass he didn’t have much fat. He had little to cut.
It’s just he races beside sticks with no muscles
Hyde Wilde has zero pectoral muscles like zero his nipples are between his ribs like a mouse hiding in the crack of the wall.
And Alex yee is even smaller.
So he looks big.
Not just incompatible with world, class, training loads, but incompatible with endurance training of any sort.
It’s interesting for many years people made fun of him that he was too big and now suddenly he is to skinny …
I think he is just a very focused athlete that no longer lives under the thumb of his old coach and the pressures of Norway and his management team to do EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME. Im super excited to see what he does at NICE.
The only one who seems “thirsty” here is you.
