Bodybuilding has always been a size game, and people expect to see a tall and big muscle monster in the top place. But the judges base their final decision on multiple parameters. They look for someone who has a good combination of proportion, symmetry, condition, and most importantly, confidence. Thus, bodybuilders with colossal physiques don’t always win the show. Likewise, there are umpteen ‘Giant Killers’ who dominated the stage despite their short height. And among such bodybuilders is Danny Padilla, who etched his spot in the history of the sport even after being criticized for his short height. 

However, the latest update from the legend giving tips to the rookies went viral. People seemed to love his physique and thus administered their praises in the comments section. Let’s get to know more about the post.

Danny Padilla shared his pearls of wisdom

While many accomplished bodybuilders tend to compete under the category of 250 pounds or more, comparatively smaller bodybuilders proved their feat and gave a tough challenge to others while participating under a lesser weight category. There are some bodybuilders who tipped the scale of 200 pounds yet turned some heads toward them. There were Frank Zane, Samir Bannout, Lee Labrada, Danny Padilla, and others, known as the Giant Killers, who inscribed their names in history with their unmatched feat.

However, recently, an Instagram page, Shredded Legends, posted a resurfaced video of Padilla working out in the gym. The video is indeed a blessing in disguise, as the IFBB pro shared some beautiful insights along with it. He said, “What I tell young kids today is, short bodybuilders have to balance their physique. If you don’t workout every body part like, it’s weak, you are gonna get beat up because you’re never gonna beat the big guy.”

Seeing the legend flexing his body in front of the camera, one fan commented, “Old school can’t be beaten.” Continuing the same sentiment, another added, “The core of old school players was perfect, seemed no bloating at all.” Praising his physique, a user wrote, “The real giant killer, grest symmetry.”

Pointing out Padilla’s aesthetics, a fan penned, “giant slayer! aesthetically developed. not like today.” Another couldn’t help comparing and thought, “Thats what live action Wolverine would look like.”
