you wanna know islanders are good at rugby cause in the islands u can't kick the coconut or ur leg will be broken so u'll have pick up the coconut and run with it
When I was in the Army I was stationed in Hawaii. We trained with the Hawaiian and Samoan National guard units frequently. They were some of the biggest and freakishly strong people I have ever encountered. If your ever in a bar fight...make sure you bring a couple of Samoans and you will win.
@@greylynn-snakevenom113glc7 lol so true. think u only need 1 tho, even those of us that are small are more than happy to fight twice our weight class. We don't mind gettin hit, but careful cause ur gonna feel our fist.
@@scottroot3167 Haha na the other 2 are the clean up crew. 1 would do wrecking, the other 2 would be the cleaners. Makingsure they are an inch away from death lmao. kidding. But you knw how it is. When them Samoans and Tongans start, Game fucken over.
When i was in 10th grade I remember playing rugby against islanders as a small Australian white boy. They seemed like fridges that could run 100m in 12seconds. Shit my pants.
@Ryu North strength is one thing but speed and athleticism is another us africans excell on other races when you add that to the equation ill give up a lil strength to be the total package all around in sports
Polynesians are massive and strong genetically. They practiced eugenics, only the strongest warriors bred, and warring tribes often eliminated the weak. They did this for millennia, and the result is the most naturally strong and big race there is today.
Over many centuries of ocean voyaging and cold nights, our polynesian ancestors developed body/muscle mass by 'shivering', which shocks the muscle into growing. Combined with a healthy diet of seafood with Taro, Uwhi and Kumara, you create a super human - no sugar, no flour. Apparently the pre-european Hawaiians have the largest recorded BMI (body mass index) of any human species on the planet.
Polynesians are just built different. You'd know if you've been around them. Pound for pound, on average, they're the strongest race out there - easy. I live in Australia. Played AFL growing up. Every other game there'd be a Poly on the other team and you'd dread it. We're all skinny teenage rakes while this dudes built like a brick shithouse and has a moustache - terrifying! Run through people like they aren't there. Dense bones, heavy muscle (and fat if I'm honest), but strong and fast as shit in sprints. I think people here are a bit intimidated and don't want to admit it. I've got some Maori blood but other than broadness, a bit of height and slightly darker skin you wouldn't know. Wish I had more of the genetics. Respect to all the Polys! 🇦🇺
Draven Hurch I stand by the comment. Line up twenty random guys from different ethnicities with no training, and I almost guarantee the Poly will be the naturally strongest. They're just built different. For some reason they only go into specific sports, but when they do, they dominate (Jonah Lomu, David Tua etc).
I spent 12 years in Federal and State prison. Worked out the whole time. I was no slouch and a pretty powerful guy. 6'4" and 250 lbs at 10% bf. My max bench was 424lbs x2. Probably 465lbs once. Never did a max squat but did rep sets of 425 for sets of 10 5 times per workout. I met and trained with Samoan guys who were hitting my max bench on incline for rep sets. Straight embarrassed me. They would warm up with 315, and go right to 4, 5, and 6 plates. And these were not guys who trained all that much either. These guys were all under 6'4" but they were so fucking powerful naturally. They are true tanks. They were also some of the nicest guys you could meet. Very respectful and never threw their "weight" around. Not like anyone was gonna fuck with em anyway right?
Nosce Te Ipsum I agree I am samoan and all Polynesians are Raised to be strong and respectful I remember if we werre bad we would get straight hand or anything around as an ass whoopin It isnt abuse more like teaching discipline Fact is When they say ppl out here are raised wrong they're not lying
I'm half samoan and half danish. Both sides of my family are pretty big in numbers and in size. Every summer we have a reunion and play rugby or football
Something which should be taken into account is that contact sports, especially rugby, have taken the place of tribal warfare in Pacific Islander culture, at least for Maoris (New Zealand) and Samoans. You can't go and fight another tribe and collect heads, but you can go and play another team and collect tries. It may not be a huge influence, but it is an influence.
@@iamnutty8471 Protein can come from many places, and fishermen, who have perfected their craft over a couple of thousand years, have a very good source of protein, possibly the best ever, all around them. High protein diets can have genetic legacy effects if the example of nomadic herding tribes from the steppes of Russia, with the ready source of red meat that their herds provide, are not discounted. A traditional diet high in possibly the best source or protein ever to exist, intercine tribal warfare to provide a reason to grow slabs of strong muscle, and ready (but not easy) access to that excellent source of dietary protein, can have a noticeable hereditary effect over a few generations.

alexander usyk I live in new caledonia and after 20 years of existence.. i can tell you that no single white person can be naturally as strong as a islanders
The indigenous people of New Zealand constitute about 15% of the entire society, but as much as 75% of soldiers in special forces. They are warriors from my great-grandfather. Scientific research proves that they have thicker skull bones than other people. This is why in combat spots it is difficult to knock them out even with a kick to the head. Even without steroids, they are natural warriors, like in Sparta, but a little different.
@@mojohinson1540 looking at your other comments I can see you’re racist as fk, you seem irrationally mad at Samoans, did one beat you up? Take your girl? You sound really insecure bro no one is impressed
They're violent. Im cook island Maori, I see what we are like. We are stereotyped to be feared because we cant keep our cool and do shit that hurts others and ourselves. So idk where you get pure in heart and soul...
Andre Mensah He was being sarcastic with that "kings" statement. Its pretty obvious. Also how is a proud Maori guy going to accept ideas of another religion. Talking about children of israel. Wtf. Definitely not Maori theology.
Chillstep dancer - Nate Stfu you could say that about any race dog, how you going to generalise a whole race because of some fuckwits you’ve seen fighting
genetics from sailing the pacific ocean for centuries. you had to be big and strong to survive sailing from one island to another. harsh environments create strong people.
@@dgmclar knock my skinny ass out ?🤔 lol you won’t do shit if you see me in person come to Hawaii if you about dat , I’ll show you wassupp in max Holloway backyard 👊🏽
My mom engorged herself on Polynesian cuisines while she was pregnant with me and only with me. I came out almost 10 lbs biggest baby out of the three. In high school they made me do powerlifting because of my size...I came out top ten in state for the last 2 years...without even training hard or taking protein shakes, nothing. It's them genes.
the reason that they are so physically perfect for rugby is because there ancestors had to row to the islands that they inhabit today so only the strong made it there the rest died (survival of the fittest)
Ok there's some logic in your comment Bruv. There are great White atheletes also like the ICELANDERS, NORWEGIANS and SWEDISH who got in their Viking canoes and sailed to the Pacific, they became brown because of the sunshine! LOL wouldn't surprise us Bruv! Samoans, Tongans, Fijians, Cooks etc are the Vikings of the Pacific Ocean!
Will Taylor Vikings weren't intelligent people. Typical white guy being tuff on his keyboard but never has the balls to say dumb to our face ha. You blouse.
Will Taylor Your insults are very intelligent its really wreaking my brain to figure out the humor you possess. I don't know how you do it but you're doing it. Another educated white guy ha.
Like my mate his legs are bigger than both my calves lmao and his thighs are bigger than my whole body’ 😂 he has big rock hard hands big shoulders at 16
All us people of the pacific whether it be Maori, Rarotongan, Samoan, Tongan, Fijian are big but also very susceptible to problems like diabetes, high blood pressure, gout and a whole list of other illness's :-(
stay away from processed foods and you'll be fine. Just stick with what our people grew up eating like Breasfruits and taros with fish......loads of fish. Everyday
Honestly rugby is like our main sport, even us Tongan girls participate in it for fun but size wise we are a little more hefty and built differently from others so I understand this. It’s nice to see Pacific Islanders out there pursuing what they love, you might not know them personally but the pride and joy is shared everywhere.
I'm an islander, a Melanesian, our Polynesian and Micronesian brothers and sisters are all built different. I strongly believe that all these came from our diet and the location we're geographically located. Our ancestors were great navigators, we have taro, sweet potatoes and other leafy foods as part of our diet before the colonizers came, you come to my country in PNG and see a small bloke and you think you can run over him 😂.... bruh think again. Most people outside know a little or none about the rest of the islanders except for Samoa, Tonga, Fiji, Hawaii etc. There's New Caledonia, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Palau, Torres Strait (Australia), Irian Jaya (part of Indonesia) Guam, and list goes on.
There are loads of islanders in the British army and I see them all the time in a local supermarket close to a main base....and they are huge. Not overly tall, just densely muscular and powerfully athletic. I played a lot of rugby over the years and thankfully never had to play against too many as they are a hell of a handful. Even their wives look bigger than most I played against.
I’m a 6’5” Samoan, and I have sisters. I knew before I even came out of the womb, that I wasn’t marrying Samoan when I grew up, and getting smashed by your sisters (and that was just verbally) was good training for contact sports 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Haha love the banter but chehooo, we just love the game of rugby because we are brought up around it from such a young age, with our fathers also loving it, it's just a cycle and being a Polynesian 🇼🇸🇦🇸 being big is a bonus✊🏾
Bronson Feaunati watching the game with dad after a very rare bad game or a passing of family member be like yep time to hide the belt the hose and the wooden spoon and be prepared for the longest back in my day story
Actually. Fijians are melanesian and the only reason Polys are built is because of their interbreeding with the Papuans. And killing the weak. So really you should be talking about the Papuans first up. Then Fijians or another melanesian group. Not Samoans or anything.

@@hozza0411 no lol. Not at all. We just live and eat differently lol. I've stayed in Fiji all my life. I've noticed that Fijian eat less than what Polynesians do. Fijian lifestyle is far different from Polynesians.
I am a Mediterranean European, have seen Samoans and other Polynesians Train, play rugby, i have lifted weights with them, i cannot compete with them. For speed ball work, the fijians prove it in the 7s but for all time greats like jona Lamu etc, these guys were the greatest and they were built like a hippo's ass.
Rugby has been in america for yrs a really longtime and still hasnt moved much but the world plays rugby and most african countrys play but still polynesians are dominant in rugby
CS X Homo sapiens had speed and endurance. They were able to travel long distances for food and resources. Neanderthals had lower endurance and were physically stronger. Our ancestors the homo sapiens that mixed with neanderthals, traded their speed for strength. So everything that is a combination of speed and endurance, homo sapiens have the edge. Everything that Is a combination of strength and endurance, Cro Magnons has the edge. Cro Magnons were the result of homo sapiens mixing with neanderthals. Black Africans are the only ones that carry zero neanderthal dna. With that being said... You are not built for football either.
There was a guy in rugby they called the "Tongan Thor". I remember when he was back in school he was able to run 100m in like 11 seconds, thing is though he was 297pounds 😳. Thats crazy asf!
As an islander we have a high intake of protein and carbs in our diets and this has been the way since our ancestors. The food and genetics provide us with bodies that were made for survival as well as bodies to till the ground/earth for our livelihood and to bear the life in the islands, which was/is no easy fete. Even with western influence with the retail and tourism industry there have been some economic advances but a lot of people still live by the traditional way of life. I 100% agree with no steroids or artificial adages to gain advantage, generally speaking. Growing up I played rugby with my brothers and boy cousins at our family get togethers and took a liking to contact sports early on and that made me one fierce player in the mixed league teams playing centre forward and wing. I also was age champion for track and field numerous times known for my main event which was sprinting and then advanced to compete on multiple levels and also won ribbons and medallions for other sports over the years all without training. And truth is, I’m one of so many Polynesians like this. Derived from voyagers, survivors, farmers and warriors this was the way of life before being introduced to sports. so yes. It’s genetics.
Yall don't earn your size. It's genetic. Not impressive. Maybe if your people had focused on building a society instead of war , samoa wouldn't be such a shithole. More of you live outside of samoa than in it yet yall always make sure to act so proud. Go back if it's so awesome.
I always love it when Pacific island teams go head to head with each other in rugby, their boys are just built different, Polynesians like samoa and Tongans are big and heavy whilst Papua New Guineans are short and explosive 🇫🇯🇵🇬🇹🇴🇼🇸🇨🇰🇳🇿
They are scary freaks of nature. I'm friends with a few who go to our gym, and they all lift crazy numbers, but that's not the freak part. They always talk about how one guys dad, who doesn't work out, is stronger than all of them. One day they bring him to the gym and set him up on the bench press. He's repping 405 lbs. like its nothing, and he never works out, and he's in his 50's. That's freak level strength to just come in off the street and do that, it's not something an average guy can do.
its our genetics + old man strength is really such a thing an we islander young fellas all know that no matter how strong we think we are our fathers will fuck us up in anything we try because they are just that much stronger despite not doing what we do
Understanding the amount of proteins and starch in our diets, its quite alot. The servings, well😂12piece kfc🤣,a burger, thats lunch😂 For dinner, one whole chicken stuffed with taro leaves, drowned in cconut milk😂, 2 palusamis or luaus, 1taro and a half gone, you kinda getn there,😂wash it down with cup of Pure cocoa freshly made. Thats hit tge spot😂. What salads?
I'm afakasi(Halfcaste) Samoan & Tongan. 6ft7 163kg. Now you may say, 163kg!!!!!? Yes. I'm in shape believe it or not 😂😂 i was 225kg 3 years ago. If i would of stayed that weight i would be dead now. I can't run fast or have the skills of my countrymen. So i have taken on arm wrestling instead lol.
Incognito Brown Oh boy white people are so underrated, in these times the media make look white people like weak and being white is bad, when they are all the opposite of weakness, they actually are some strong motherfuckers!
@@princewins88bw yea show me one black worlds strongest man winner? Show me one worlds strongest man finalist who's Polynesian. I guess guys like jj watt and Rob gronkowiski don't exist. Or in rugby terms Sam Burgess, Jamie Roberts, George North, tadgh furlong, bauden Barrett. Loads of fast and strong white guys. There are a lot of athletic people in all races.
I feel like it all boils down to genetics. Many Pacific Islanders have strayed from the traditional diet of root crops and fresh fish and meat and are more prone to eating more industrialised foods, however they still retain their very solid frame despite the notion that their body is built on traditional foods. If anything the western diet; which is nearly impossible to have a deficit of calories (which also means a deficit of growth) has actually augmented and guaranteed the production of our hard coded genetics.
We are taught to work our asses off from a very young age - carrying those heavy bags of coconuts or cassava or taro ... Pacific kids loves their rugby and they learn the game the minute the started learning how to walk. Hit hard and hit harder is normal because when you are a kid and there is no referee to tag your tail in any open space they can use to play the game. Kids play on the beach, and basically anywhere as long as they find a space where they can stride those legs and run those balls. Majority of them are village dwellers and many don’t even know steroid or have never heard of it .
People from island countries are typically very strong. I believe the reason behind this is the force of gravity against them. Since areas of lower elevation have more air above them, there is more gravity pushing down on them. This is why in places like Asia, where there are very mountains, the people aren't as large. Any body of land close to the water is going to feel a lot more gravity. This is also why Samoans are so outnumbered in Rugby, and Icelandic people are outnumbered in strongman competitions.
I'm not sure about the gravity but I can confirm it's due to the enviorment and how they live their everyday lives doing hard labour as simple chores in the islands
Fijians Samoans and some other Polynesians are physically built there strong fast and never take steroids The key is Dalo cassava meat anything pure natural

As a poly my pe teacher was talking about weight and density overall and specifically looked at me and said that some ethnicities or races are just heavier than others. I was one of the average girls in my PE class. The middle girl not the biggest or smallest and she had me here lifting the heaviest weights😂🤦🏽♀️ while the other girls that weren’t 💀💀 even the ones bigger than me. iiiiiiaaaaaa its all that taro my mum made me eat🤣🤣
Disagree. We're getting there in other fields like business, law and medicine too. I know plenty of guys that run their own companies, I also have a friend who is a game changer and heads the Asian Pacific region of a major conglomerate company and she's Samoan (as in heads from each country in the Asian Pacific region answer to her). Don't stay in the box that others put us in Bro.
The way i view the intellectual "deficit" is this way. Just like blacks and many other races around the world we havent had the chance to get a good education. And education is passed down not through genetics but through teachings. WE will all get there my brother. Just educate and care for the kids.
Never really thought we islanders were big. Everyone's mostly the same size on the islands. But from an outsiders point of view you could say we're bigger than the average person
I am Filipino American and when I went to the Philippines I saw my Dad's side of his family. He has 10 brothers and sisters. All the women on my dads side are Somoan big. And I don't mean fat I mean big boned. I noticed a lot of Filipinos are big boned but not that tall. I swear there is Polynesian blood mixed with with our race . Philippines is a part of the pacific islands so I would not doubt there was mixing of races in the past that we do not know about.
Polynesian origin is down from Taiwan through the Philippines to south east Asia and Indonesia, then east over the islands. I'm half Illocano and half Hawaiian. My cuz and I come out all different shapes, but mostly taller than most Filipinos, all stocky with broad chests, wide shoulders, thick quads and pumpkin calves, some just huge meaty to the point of obese. What sucks is, like most Islanders, we're all diabetic. Even me with 18% body fat, muscular and fit as can be - Type II on daily insulin. Family and respect is everything. Every weekend was a huge get together and we'd have fresh roast pig and goat along with a huge feast with every mama bringing in awesome dishes. Growing up it was fair game for any auntie or uncle to whoop our ashes for whatever reason. Love my heritage.
born an islander . we don't take stay home and watch t.v all day. we work at home from 2 years old - death . we help our moms and dad cleaning the house and hunt with our bare hands that's why we r strong.. while u guys r at home searching up how to be strong ..
People of Nordic genes are equally strong. I'd say Europeans as a whole are generally strong people. Look at world's strongest men competitions it's an English guy.. Eddie Hall at the moment but the Icelandic and Norwegians are strong.
Zirrnorseman Yeah I eat a lot I'm pretty big but I wouldn't say I'm as strong as those guys. I'm 6"5 and 17stone (about 100kgs) but it's in my genes my whole family are like 6ft and large build. They seem to get it naturally whereas I eat a lot to be as big as I am
+Ares DMA lol, Europeans are not strong....Polynesians, Africans, Central/North Asian are way stronger than Europeans....just because they don't participate in Strongman sports doesn't mean that they aren't stronger than Europeans.... Europeans win strongman competitions because of many supplements, facilities, training and organized diet for the competition....nothing to do with physical strength. try fighting a central/north Asian one on one....you will have an idea who is stronger
Hdhd Ysysy They do compete though... they just don't do well. People in colder climates seem much stronger than those in hotter parts of the world. Generally I would say nordic/scandanavian people are the strongest people but we all have opinions and I certainly wouldn't say anyone in Asia... North, South, East or west are strong at all. I have spent large amounts of time throughout Asia as my wife is Indonesian so it's easy to travel and I'm not even strong but I can out lift any of them in the gyms. They like to test me out being a big guy and I'm no professional, I don't take supplements or even go to the gym very often here in England.
been all over pacific islands and micronesia, in natural state beautiful friendly people!, add sydney and some places in nz nothing but diabetes infections and trouble, love the natural spirit that is lost without them, the thing they also have is from poverty to success story trail , much like overwhelming black players in NFL , or the old addage country people are tougher, either way natural skills and kindness are amazing , you will get hit hard and first person to give you hand up will be the guy who hit you, respect
Exactly what I'm talking about, this guy gives a reasonable analysis about one of the players, without insulting anyone. And this childish BGM bitch is all over him like white on rice. I think BGM is insecure. He has nothing to be proud of except for being an islander (which even that is probably mistaken identity and he's probably just Mexican or South Asian). Just a fat, slightly tan guy that has a little dick. Shameful.
BRADDAS RUT HUNTS Genetics play a huge part in sports. Maybe not the biggest, but an important part. If your parents are both 4'8 and weighed 75 pounds. You won't make it... Dedication or not.
@@david.tousignant20 islanders use to be short Same as Maori then we got bigger when we mixed with European people and our diets changed or tho they where always strong they just use to be short.
Sad though my (pacific island) people, back in the early 60s and 70s in New Zealand werent chosen to represent New Zealand at any level - only caucasians were chosen. It was very racist back then, my dad has stories of when he used to play and also, my brothers who were way ahead of their time type of players, but never got chosen. None of the Islanders got chosen back then but it’s a whole different story now. There’s now more than 50% of Pacific Islanders who play rugby Union and league.
I had kids playing rugby. The Polynesians were naturally better at it. It was actually dangerous for your own kids as some of the Poly kids were already 100kgs at 14yo.
I'm islander. My cuz was huge and cut in high school and he NEVER worked out. I have twin nephews that are monsters. I watched gang banger bruthahs challenge them cuz they thought our gathering of relatives at the house were parties and they wanted in. We like making babies. One of the twins walked out nonchalantly, never broke his stride, raised his elbow and knocked the big dude out in a single blow. He turned and walked back in and never said a word the whole time. Otherwise, my nephews wouldn't hurt a flea. Yeah, we islanda and proud of it.
Islanders and Maori lads make superb physical specimens, a history of fish diets, with vegetables grown in volcanic enriched soil has done wonders for them, when Europeans first came to NZ, they said of the Maori that they were the most physically impressive race they'd ever seen, HOWEVER there is a reason all island and Maori teams dont do as well as they should, becasue they lack certain tact,strategy and overall cohesion the white man brings to the table, mixed islander/Maori blood with european "pioneers" blood and you get scary results like the all blacks and sonny bill Williams, most of the top players have mixed blood. A NZ historian put it well..... "we (NZ europeans) and Maori have spent more time in bed together than on the battlefield"
Couldn't of summed it up better myself. My father always maintained that you needed a few pakeha guys in the team in key positions for decision making and they always had a never give up attitude.
Most of what Islanders bring to any contact sport is what no coach in rugby's history has EVER been able to coach, train or teach, natural attacking flare, which if there was plenty of in NZ!? you wouldn't need Islanders.. but as it stands.. :)

Dont get me worng, Maoris had fantastic tactics and Strategy in war,Rommel reckoned he could of won WW2 with a battalion of Maoris, im not saying they are dumb, let me try put it in a different way, Maori and Islanders are Warriors, Europeans are Soldiers, you need both in a good Rugby team, I use to play amateur Rugby in Auckland, and despite All Islander/Maori team having huge physical advantage and some of the best individual players around, they still struggled for wins and consistency.
Can't be physically bigger or at least by not much, the pack weights are generally about the same in the scrum, in fact i've seen Scotland with bigger pack weights than Fiji, It's just melanin that makes them look more masculine. Also the tallest average people in the world are Dutch, and Icelandic people not Maoris!
Back home in micronesia my grandma house behind it had a huge taro and get chokes of dem still growing but bigger then me 🤣🤙🏽, but also I love taro ☝️🙌🏽🙌🏽
I want some Pacific Islanders friends those guys are literal tanks. And that Haka thing some of em do (as an American I'm not 100% if I'm even saying the right thing) that like pre war dance lookin' thing is fuckin awesome.

Well also your missing out that a lot of whites that live in New Zealand some have strong sides of both European and Polynesian ancestors. Like my cousins their very very big and taller then me and im 6ft and Fairly build for rugby, they look white but In fact they have a strong Polynesians side.. that's how it is in Polynesia the bigger the better, great leaders are always tall, big and strong.

Brian Lorne js if the Pacific islands had the money, right government, resources, technology, like the western world i think those stats would be very different. js
Polynesians are best at contact sports, not because they eat taro, but because they harvest taro. It’s some of the hardest work I ever attempted. And the labor is constant. All Rugby players have powerful upper bodies. But Polynesians also have strong lower bodies as well. College girlfriend was half Japanese and half Hawaiian and played college basketball. She looked like a typical frail beauty, but had the thickest, strongest ankles I ever saw. Whether Jonah Lomu or Portia Woodman or the Tuilagi brothers, all are blessed with insanely powerful legs, as well as blazing speed. Portia’s dad was an All-Black, which gives her an unfair advantage.
@Ian Dog If you look at the funding those smaller nations have compared to the bigger nations you'll see why. But you see Polynesians playing in big countries and for such a small population pretty impressive.
Samoa 685 yeah that’s right. If there’s a Polynesian player, he’s one of the best players on the team. Tuilagi, vunipola brothers, faletau, vakatawa and then of course the wallabies and all blacks have many players.
I’m half samoan I’m 6’2 and average weight is 210 and my mothers german and Irish i didn’t know i was samoan until recently. I’ve always been really good at sports and have naturally been buff i love working out can any samoans tell me what our culture is like?
Nothing but respect for the islanders, my brothers and I often get mistaken for Samoans lol We take it as complements since we’re a rare case of big ass Nicaraguans(Natives/Hispanic) Sadly I was told that America Samoa has a high obesity rate and I too come from a big family so I know the struggle of that. Y’all have great examples of lean strong people and athletes I hope not only do does America Samoa take this into consideration but the United States as well.
Unfortunately the tradition of bulk servings of over processed and cheaply available foods in America, has made its way to American Samoan who come under America’s protection.. Samoa, (formerly Western Samoa), are independent but are greatly influenced by the New Zealand and English lifestyles, but the easy access to takeaway, and unhealthy foods, are influencing the whole of Polynesia. Historically, the heavy demands of the day to day Samoan lifestyle meant, the men would naturally grow tall, and muscular. Samoan men do the daily cooking which required harvesting of dry trees for the fire to heat the rocks for cooking. Harvesting of certain foods may require the climbing of trees, which the men have done since childhood. Fishing, hunting and gathering, are all performed by the men. Western men hit the gym when they reach college age or even in their 20s… The islanders day to day chores, is their gym…and they’ve been training their whole life..😂😂😂😂LOL
Unfortunately the influence of bad eating habits and over processed foods of the western countries has a foot hold in most of the Polynesian islands., including New Zeal. Fast food places like KFC, and McDonalds to name a couple, have taken away a lot of the natural foods, and gathering habits of the Polynesians, that have for many years been considered the reason for their size, bulk, and fitness, making them ideal for contact sports such as Rugby Union, Rugby League, NRL, NFL..etc.

@Ryu North Why are some of the biggest and most muscular people non-White then? Lmao
Polynesians are massive and strong genetically. They practiced eugenics, only the strongest warriors bred, and warring tribes often eliminated the weak. They did this for millennia, and the result is the most naturally strong and big race there is today.
Over many centuries of ocean voyaging and cold nights, our polynesian ancestors developed body/muscle mass by 'shivering', which shocks the muscle into growing. Combined with a healthy diet of seafood with Taro, Uwhi and Kumara, you create a super human - no sugar, no flour. Apparently the pre-european Hawaiians have the largest recorded BMI (body mass index) of any human species on the planet.

Polynesians are just built different. You'd know if you've been around them. Pound for pound, on average, they're the strongest race out there - easy. I live in Australia. Played AFL growing up. Every other game there'd be a Poly on the other team and you'd dread it. We're all skinny teenage rakes while this dudes built like a brick shithouse and has a moustache - terrifying! Run through people like they aren't there. Dense bones, heavy muscle (and fat if I'm honest), but strong and fast as shit in sprints.

Draven Hurch I stand by the comment. Line up twenty random guys from different ethnicities with no training, and I almost guarantee the Poly will be the naturally strongest.

Never did a max squat but did rep sets of 425 for sets of 10 5 times per workout. I met and trained with Samoan guys who were hitting my max bench on incline for rep sets. Straight embarrassed me. They would warm up with 315, and go right to 4, 5, and 6 plates. And these were not guys who trained all that much either. These guys were all under 6'4" but they were so fucking powerful naturally.

Something which should be taken into account is that contact sports, especially rugby, have taken the place of tribal warfare in Pacific Islander culture, at least for Maoris (New Zealand) and Samoans. You can't go and fight another tribe and collect heads, but you can go and play another team and collect tries. It may not be a huge influence, but it is an influence.
To survive long ocean voyages, Pacific Islanders needed to pack on fat, which equates larger muscles/frame
@@iamnutty8471 Protein can come from many places, and fishermen, who have perfected their craft over a couple of thousand years, have a very good source of protein, possibly the best ever, all around them. High protein diets can have genetic legacy effects if the example of nomadic herding tribes from the steppes of Russia, with the ready source of red meat that their herds provide, are not discounted. A traditional diet high in possibly the best source or protein ever to exist, intercine tribal warfare to provide a reason to grow slabs of strong muscle, and ready (but not easy) access to that excellent source of dietary protein, can have a noticeable hereditary effect over a few generations.

The indigenous people of New Zealand constitute about 15% of the entire society, but as much as 75% of soldiers in special forces. They are warriors from my great-grandfather. Scientific research proves that they have thicker skull bones than other people. This is why in combat spots it is difficult to knock them out even with a kick to the head. Even without steroids, they are natural warriors, like in Sparta, but a little different.

I'm an islander, a Melanesian, our Polynesian and Micronesian brothers and sisters are all built different. I strongly believe that all these came from our diet and the location we're geographically located. Our ancestors were great navigators, we have taro, sweet potatoes and other leafy foods as part of our diet before the colonizers came, you come to my country in PNG and see a small bloke and you think you can run over him 😂.... bruh think again. Most people outside know a little or none about the rest of the islanders except for Samoa, Tonga, Fiji, Hawaii etc. There's New Caledonia, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Palau, Torres Strait (Australia), Irian Jaya (part of Indonesia) Guam, and list goes on.
Taro, sweet potato, banana, yam, pork. A pacific islander’s steroid 💪🏼🇵🇬
There are loads of islanders in the British army and I see them all the time in a local supermarket close to a main base....and they are huge. Not overly tall, just densely muscular and powerfully athletic. I played a lot of rugby over the years and thankfully never had to play against too many as they are a hell of a handful. Even their wives look bigger than most I played against.

Everything that Is a combination of strength and endurance, Cro Magnons has the edge. Cro Magnons were the result of homo sapiens mixing with neanderthals. Black Africans are the only ones that carry zero neanderthal dna. With that being said... You are not built for football either.
There was a guy in rugby they called the "Tongan Thor". I remember when he was back in school he was able to run 100m in like 11 seconds, thing is though he was 297pounds 😳. Thats crazy asf!
As an islander we have a high intake of protein and carbs in our diets and this has been the way since our ancestors. The food and genetics provide us with bodies that were made for survival as well as bodies to till the ground/earth for our livelihood and to bear the life in the islands, which was/is no easy fete. Even with western influence with the retail and tourism industry there have been some economic advances but a lot of people still live by the traditional way of life.
I 100% agree with no steroids or artificial adages to gain advantage, generally speaking. Growing up I played rugby with my brothers and boy cousins at our family get togethers and took a liking to contact sports early on and that made me one fierce player in the mixed league teams playing centre forward and wing.
I also was age champion for track and field numerous times known for my main event which was sprinting and then advanced to compete on multiple levels and also won ribbons and medallions for other sports over the years all without training. And truth is, I’m one of so many Polynesians like this.
Derived from voyagers, survivors, farmers and warriors this was the way of life before being introduced to sports. so yes. It’s genetics.

I feel like it all boils down to genetics. Many Pacific Islanders have strayed from the traditional diet of root crops and fresh fish and meat and are more prone to eating more industrialised foods, however they still retain their very solid frame despite the notion that their body is built on traditional foods. If anything the western diet; which is nearly impossible to have a deficit of calories (which also means a deficit of growth) has actually augmented and guaranteed the production of our hard coded genetics.
We are taught to work our asses off from a very young age - carrying those heavy bags of coconuts or cassava or taro ... Pacific kids loves their rugby and they learn the game the minute the started learning how to walk. Hit hard and hit harder is normal because when you are a kid and there is no referee to tag your tail in any open space they can use to play the game. Kids play on the beach, and basically anywhere as long as they find a space where they can stride those legs and run those balls.
Majority of them are village dwellers and many don’t even know steroid or have never heard of it .

People from island countries are typically very strong. I believe the reason behind this is the force of gravity against them. Since areas of lower elevation have more air above them, there is more gravity pushing down on them. This is why in places like Asia, where there are very mountains, the people aren't as large. Any body of land close to the water is going to feel a lot more gravity. This is also why Samoans are so outnumbered in Rugby, and Icelandic people are outnumbered in strongman competitions.
I'm not sure about the gravity but I can confirm it's due to the enviorment and how they live their everyday lives doing hard labour as simple chores in the islands
Fijians Samoans and some other Polynesians are physically built there strong fast and never take steroids
The key is Dalo cassava meat anything pure natural

I am Filipino American and when I went to the Philippines I saw my Dad's side of his family. He has 10 brothers and sisters. All the women on my dads side are Somoan big. And I don't mean fat I mean big boned. I noticed a lot of Filipinos are big boned but not that tall. I swear there is Polynesian blood mixed with with our race . Philippines is a part of the pacific islands so I would not doubt there was mixing of races in the past that we do not know about.
Mark Navarro - well Filipinos on average have been found to have 10-20% of Polynesian in their DNA.
Mark Navarro look up Aeta people, they are the natives of the philippines, they look like Fijians but shorter
Polynesian origin is down from Taiwan through the Philippines to south east Asia and Indonesia, then east over the islands. I'm half Illocano and half Hawaiian. My cuz and I come out all different shapes, but mostly taller than most Filipinos, all stocky with broad chests, wide shoulders, thick quads and pumpkin calves, some just huge meaty to the point of obese. What sucks is, like most Islanders, we're all diabetic. Even me with 18% body fat, muscular and fit as can be - Type II on daily insulin. Family and respect is everything. Every weekend was a huge get together and we'd have fresh roast pig and goat along with a huge feast with every mama bringing in awesome dishes. Growing up it was fair game for any auntie or uncle to whoop our ashes for whatever reason. Love my heritage.
Filipinos are barely related to us barely
Lol they would be fat not big boned humans all have the same size bones
born an islander . we don't take stay home and watch t.v all day. we work at home from 2 years old - death . we help our moms and dad cleaning the house and hunt with our bare hands that's why we r strong.. while u guys r at home searching up how to be strong ..
People of Nordic genes are equally strong. I'd say Europeans as a whole are generally strong people. Look at world's strongest men competitions it's an English guy.. Eddie Hall at the moment but the Icelandic and Norwegians are strong.
Ares DMA its all that damn milk and meat they eat. You eat like a baby cow you grow up strong like one😂
Zirrnorseman Yeah I eat a lot I'm pretty big but I wouldn't say I'm as strong as those guys. I'm 6"5 and 17stone (about 100kgs) but it's in my genes my whole family are like 6ft and large build. They seem to get it naturally whereas I eat a lot to be as big as I am
+Ares DMA lol, Europeans are not strong....Polynesians, Africans, Central/North Asian are way stronger than Europeans....just because they don't participate in Strongman sports doesn't mean that they aren't stronger than Europeans.... Europeans win strongman competitions because of many supplements, facilities, training and organized diet for the competition....nothing to do with physical strength.
try fighting a central/north Asian one on one....you will have an idea who is stronger
Hdhd Ysysy They do compete though... they just don't do well. People in colder climates seem much stronger than those in hotter parts of the world. Generally I would say nordic/scandanavian people are the strongest people but we all have opinions and I certainly wouldn't say anyone in Asia... North, South, East or west are strong at all. I have spent large amounts of time throughout Asia as my wife is Indonesian so it's easy to travel and I'm not even strong but I can out lift any of them in the gyms. They like to test me out being a big guy and I'm no professional, I don't take supplements or even go to the gym very often here in England.
been all over pacific islands and micronesia, in natural state beautiful friendly people!, add sydney and some places in nz nothing but diabetes infections and trouble, love the natural spirit that is lost without them, the thing they also have is from poverty to success story trail , much like overwhelming black players in NFL , or the old addage country people are tougher, either way natural skills and kindness are amazing , you will get hit hard and first person to give you hand up will be the guy who hit you, respect
rich piano's size is big but does not mean his physique is amazing
Don't you mean 'Rich Piana'?
Send us a pic of yourself. Its important to be balanced.
piranha has a terrible physique, hes just big, there is a reason he never does double bi's anymore
Exactly what I'm talking about, this guy gives a reasonable analysis about one of the players, without insulting anyone. And this childish BGM bitch is all over him like white on rice. I think BGM is insecure. He has nothing to be proud of except for being an islander (which even that is probably mistaken identity and he's probably just Mexican or South Asian). Just a fat, slightly tan guy that has a little dick. Shameful.
he did not say he is small he said is physique not that good
OUWHH, that tackle at 4:45 Shoollleee I felt that hahahaha the man!!!
Good show , hopefully young players who won't listen may listen from this, thank for producing this
It comes down to genetics and playing at a young age.
SunPacBrolyGo KuZu nah it comes down to dedication and skill
BRADDAS RUT HUNTS
Genetics play a huge part in sports. Maybe not the biggest, but an important part.
If your parents are both 4'8 and weighed 75 pounds. You won't make it... Dedication or not.
@@david.tousignant20 islanders use to be short Same as Maori then we got bigger when we mixed with European people and our diets changed or tho they where always strong they just use to be short.
@@gunslinger1665
True. Genetics are really interesting and a complex subject.
Same reason why Haku (Tonga Fifita) is considered the toughest man in pro wrestling history
chaoticdays mark hunt one of the greatest in ufc
Unfortunate how he lost against a dope head smh
chaoticdays
No hes not u fucking idiot
King Tonga!!! Us Islanders are the nicest and most peaceful people , but don't get us mad!!!
chaoticdays go to africa and youll see
the legs man. jeesh. the amount of power/leg drive they can generate is awesome.
Sad though my (pacific island) people, back in the early 60s and 70s in New Zealand werent chosen to represent New Zealand at any level - only caucasians were chosen. It was very racist back then, my dad has stories of when he used to play and also, my brothers who were way ahead of their time type of players, but never got chosen. None of the Islanders got chosen back then but it’s a whole different story now. There’s now more than 50% of Pacific Islanders who play rugby Union and league.
Us Poly's are happy off the field but on the field its a whole different story
lucky ass swole ass buff as pacific islanders . i respect yall tho and love yall culture cus of how family orientated it is 💪🏽💯
This is some good stuff bra 👌👌
Judging from their appearance, they look like Polynesian people....
I'm Micronesian...
I had kids playing rugby. The Polynesians were naturally better at it. It was actually dangerous for your own kids as some of the Poly kids were already 100kgs at 14yo.
We just built that way💪🏽
You don’t have to be big to play rugby and to succeed in it ✊🏽
Agreed
Agree but strength, power and size does matter as per that rugby player's story in the video
but you need to if you wanna survive ahahaha
HEADS like FUCKING CEMENT CINDER BLOCKS !
Being Samoan is a natural steroid Aha
Exactly
Pacific islander you mean
Island food is history of the Pacific ....solid
SuperSamoan Mark Hunt had to fight these doping heads lol
I love Rich he was always honest. He new what he was talking about.
I'm islander. My cuz was huge and cut in high school and he NEVER worked out. I have twin nephews that are monsters. I watched gang banger bruthahs challenge them cuz they thought our gathering of relatives at the house were parties and they wanted in. We like making babies. One of the twins walked out nonchalantly, never broke his stride, raised his elbow and knocked the big dude out in a single blow. He turned and walked back in and never said a word the whole time. Otherwise, my nephews wouldn't hurt a flea. Yeah, we islanda and proud of it.
cheeeehooooooo
Islanders and Maori lads make superb physical specimens, a history of fish diets, with vegetables grown in volcanic enriched soil has done wonders for them, when Europeans first came to NZ, they said of the Maori that they were the most physically impressive race they'd ever seen, HOWEVER there is a reason all island and Maori teams dont do as well as they should, becasue they lack certain tact,strategy and overall cohesion the white man brings to the table, mixed islander/Maori blood with european "pioneers" blood and you get scary results like the all blacks and sonny bill Williams, most of the top players have mixed blood.
A NZ historian put it well..... "we (NZ europeans) and Maori have spent more time in bed together than on the battlefield"
Couldn't of summed it up better myself. My father always maintained that you needed a few pakeha guys in the team in key positions for decision making and they always had a never give up attitude.
Most of what Islanders bring to any contact sport is what no coach in rugby's history has EVER been able to coach, train or teach, natural attacking flare, which if there was plenty of in NZ!? you wouldn't need Islanders.. but as it stands.. :)
What a load of rubbish Fiji Tonga, and Samoa get raped by white teams all the time, heres a stat:
''Scotland 11 wins Samoa 1''
''Scotland 4 wins Fiji 0''
''Scotland 3 wins Tonga 1''
''Wales 9 wins Samoa 4 ''
''Wales 11 Wins Fiji 1'''
''Wales 7 wins Tonga 0''
''Ireland 5 wins Samoa 1''
''Ireland 4 wins Fiji 0''
''Ireland 2 wins Tonga 0''
If race had anything to do with the Islanders would be winning all the time, it's about talent, and training!

Dont get me worng, Maoris had fantastic tactics and Strategy in war,Rommel reckoned he could of won WW2 with a battalion of Maoris, im not saying they are dumb, let me try put it in a different way, Maori and Islanders are Warriors, Europeans are Soldiers, you need both in a good Rugby team, I use to play amateur Rugby in Auckland, and despite All Islander/Maori team having huge physical advantage and some of the best individual players around, they still struggled for wins and consistency.
Can't be physically bigger or at least by not much, the pack weights are generally about the same in the scrum, in fact i've seen Scotland with bigger pack weights than Fiji, It's just melanin that makes them look more masculine. Also the tallest average people in the world are Dutch, and Icelandic people not Maoris!
Back home in micronesia my grandma house behind it had a huge taro and get chokes of dem still growing but bigger then me 🤣🤙🏽, but also I love taro ☝️🙌🏽🙌🏽
Born strong, raised as warriors is what I like to say
Awesome video:) Islanders represent lol
I want some Pacific Islanders friends those guys are literal tanks. And that Haka thing some of em do (as an American I'm not 100% if I'm even saying the right thing) that like pre war dance lookin' thing is fuckin awesome. Also if any Pacific Islanders happened to have moved to Indiana in USA hmu cause I need friends that are actually cool.
My cuz lives in Taylorville. 60 years old with huge biceps on top of huger triceps on top monster brachialis. Nicest guy in Indiana, too.
The Haka is a Maori war dance I’m a Maori by the way
@@gunslinger1665 th haka is for maoris . Siva Tau is for Samoans, Sipi Tau is for Tongans, The Cibi is for Fijians and etc. It's all a war dance , but maoris call it th haka.
@@hamo9765 no shit mate lol I don’t need a lecture.
@@gunslinger1665 careee
I grew up in the pacific, half of my family is Hawaiian. Bro, they get their protein and carbs. One thing I learn, lotta young guys where I stay from, either get into MMA, Football, or Rugby. Eat, Train, Sleep.
Never seen or heard of any rugby player using steroids, they all get tested
Taro and corn beef is the secret lol. Trust me
Allen Iese well taro, corn beef, and spam
Allen Iese the secret to a heart attack
I’m maori but corn beef and noodles of da chain
Yaaaassss
Corn beef is irish
Well also your missing out that a lot of whites that live in New Zealand some have strong sides of both European and Polynesian ancestors. Like my cousins their very very big and taller then me and im 6ft and Fairly build for rugby, they look white but In fact they have a strong Polynesians side.. that's how it is in Polynesia the bigger the better, great leaders are always tall, big and strong.
xD by design great leaders are strategists not size.
Brolog Sanctum that too:) but every society take deferent approach to their way of leadership, strength knowledge and speed:)
Holland, and Iceland are the tallest average nations in the world, and they are white!
New Zealand is multi racial team!
heres a stat:
''Scotland 11 wins Samoa 1''
''Scotland 4 wins Fiji 0''
''Scotland 3 wins Tonga 1''
''Wales 9 wins Samoa 4 ''
''Wales 11 Wins Fiji 1'''
''Wales 7 wins Tonga 0''
''Ireland 5 wins Samoa 1''
''Ireland 4 wins Fiji 0''
''Ireland 2 wins Tonga 0''

js if the Pacific islands had the money, right government, resources, technology, like the western world i think those stats would be very different. js
Good point. No argument here to a logical point.
So how do they go in the lineouts where the jumpers are usually over two metres or more.
Polynesians are best at contact sports, not because they eat taro, but because they harvest taro. It’s some of the hardest work I ever attempted. And the labor is constant. All Rugby players have powerful upper bodies. But Polynesians also have strong lower bodies as well. College girlfriend was half Japanese and half Hawaiian and played college basketball. She looked like a typical frail beauty, but had the thickest, strongest ankles I ever saw. Whether Jonah Lomu or Portia Woodman or the Tuilagi brothers, all are blessed with insanely powerful legs, as well as blazing speed. Portia’s dad was an All-Black, which gives her an unfair advantage.
Coconut cream and cornedbeef doko youll be bigger then your dad
I'm white and I think that Pacific islanders are the kings of rugby
@Ian Dog If you look at the funding those smaller nations have compared to the bigger nations you'll see why. But you see Polynesians playing in big countries and for such a small population pretty impressive.
Samoa 685 yeah that’s right. If there’s a Polynesian player, he’s one of the best players on the team. Tuilagi, vunipola brothers, faletau, vakatawa and then of course the wallabies and all blacks have many players.
Now I understand why my football coach wanted me as a safety haha
I’m half samoan I’m 6’2 and average weight is 210 and my mothers german and Irish i didn’t know i was samoan until recently. I’ve always been really good at sports and have naturally been buff i love working out can any samoans tell me what our culture is like?
Nothing but respect for the islanders, my brothers and I often get mistaken for Samoans lol
We take it as complements since we’re a rare case of big ass Nicaraguans(Natives/Hispanic)
Sadly I was told that America Samoa has a high obesity rate and I too come from a big family so I know the struggle of that. Y’all have great examples of lean strong people and athletes I hope not only do does America Samoa take this into consideration but the United States as well.
Unfortunately the tradition of bulk servings of over processed and cheaply available foods in America, has made its way to American Samoan who come under America’s protection..
Samoa, (formerly Western Samoa), are independent but are greatly influenced by the New Zealand and English lifestyles, but the easy access to takeaway, and unhealthy foods, are influencing the whole of Polynesia.
Historically, the heavy demands of the day to day Samoan lifestyle meant, the men would naturally grow tall, and muscular.
Samoan men do the daily cooking which required harvesting of dry trees for the fire to heat the rocks for cooking. Harvesting of certain foods may require the climbing of trees, which the men have done since childhood. Fishing, hunting and gathering, are all performed by the men.
Western men hit the gym when they reach college age or even in their 20s…
The islanders day to day chores, is their gym…and they’ve been training their whole life..😂😂😂😂LOL
Unfortunately the influence of bad eating habits and over processed foods of the western countries has a foot hold in most of the Polynesian islands., including New Zeal. Fast food places like KFC, and McDonalds to name a couple, have taken away a lot of the natural foods, and gathering habits of the Polynesians, that have for many years been considered the reason for their size, bulk, and fitness, making them ideal for contact sports such as Rugby Union, Rugby League, NRL, NFL..etc.
SECRETE REVEALED: corn beef taro, working in the farms/plantations, and genetics.
Maybe some vegetables, but barley. Kalofai 😂
Where’s the thumbnail picture from?
Who is that beast of a man?
Nope
I was inadvertently thoroughbred for pro wrestling, almost 30 years of breaking fitness equipment and ppl DON'T think I'm on roids, they think I'm Samoan ha ha 🖒
