    I notice that Indonesians are much rounder, looking less lean compared to the Chinese. Example, Sony, Taufik, Chandra, Eng Hian, Luluk, Yulianto, Halim and Hendrawan. They all seem to have some fat on their bodies, some of them looking tubby like Chandra and Sony...where as you will have to look hard to find some fat on Lin Dan and his teamates, though not Zhang Jun. Obviously.

    I would say: "please put your shirt back on and celebrate some other way" :D

    LOL

    because there are enough people (especially in north america) who already think this sport is a wussy sport (not that I don't invite many out for a game to change their minds :) ); sure doesn't help to show off a scrawny bod. :D

    ???

    i dont know what picture you are looking at but i find nothing "scrawny" about that body. i would be a 'god' my peers (and the fairer gender...) if i had such a physique... sigh :D

    that should be one of the best conditioned body comparable to any other sport that requires both speed and power.

    Fair enough comments, boxers and gymnasts but I'm talking about sports like football and more televised sports. I know he's a bit scrawny but you wouldn't complain with a physique like that.

    oh yeah; compared to us mere mortals, I agree that he does have a decent physique. And definitely proper for badminton, so no disrepect intended.

    But like Ben Beckman said, compare to a US pro football player (e.g. Michael Vick or Terrell Owens) or even a pro basketball player (Ben Wallace) he looks scawny by comparison. But definitely agree that each sport has its proper body type.

    You guys ever seen Roy Jones Jr's (boxer) body?

    100% athletic, beside him I don't see anyone more fit than Lin Dan.

    My biology teacher told me those muscle are fast and strong muscles unlike body building.

    Actually, when I first saw this picture, I immediately thought of Bruce Lee's body, pretty close.

    As you can see Lin Dan is contracting his muscle while Roy Jones is in a relax position.

    he probably uses more oxygen just to flex those muscles than we need while running. Believe it or not, most professional bodybuilders spend more time doing cardio than many of us spend playing badminton. They might not be able to run very far or fast, but their cardiovascular system can handle more blood throughput than most of us ever will. :cool:
