Bruce never got fat, Bruce gained a lot of muscle when he followed a bodybuilder routine which slowed him down because of which he completely changed his workout regime

[@onimekyo7633]

Old school bodybuilding focuses on slow controlled movement. Mike tyson did explosive movement. So the effect is also different. It all comes down to how you train bro.

[@mkultraizzy]

Gaining weight period whether it be muscle or fat will slow you down. It’s actually even proven that mass weight gain, even in the form of muscle, has the same negative impact that being fat does on your heart and cardiovascular system. That being said being lean and Maintaining muscle strength is optimal for being a fighter. In cases like Mike Tyson, he incorporated a lot more training focused on endurance and speed which allowed him to be the outlier of people who have size and mobility/speed, which isn’t commonly observed in most people of that weight class.

[@iyziejane]

​@@learningchannel21 Mike Tyson mostly avoided lifting weights (in his prime pre-prison days) because he felt it made him slow, he says that in some interview clip - Tyson mostly built his physique through calisthenics. Though in modern MMA, George St Pierre is considered to be one of the best of all time, and he did barbell lifts in training.
