Spanish streamer Illojuan loses fat but gains no muscle in boxing prep

Illojuan is left with no muscle mass: the risk of losing weight without training

The latest images of Illojuan, the Spanish streamer set to take part in the upcoming boxing event, show a drastic physical change. He has lost the excess fat, but the result is far from that of an athlete. His torso looks narrow, his shoulders barely exist and his arms hang with no definition. The question circulating among fans of the event is whether this transformation will serve any purpose beyond getting rid of his belly.

The case illustrates a common problem with crash diets: as the body fat percentage drops from 30% to 10%, the lack of underlying muscle mass becomes obvious. Without a strength training base of at least 4-5 years, like the one Russell Crowe built up for Gladiator, the result is a gaunt appearance. According to the analyses, Illojuan started from an acceptable bone structure and 30% body fat, but with barely any muscle. Once down to 10%, what remains is just skin and bone.

This process contrasts with that of his rival, TheGrefg, who has combined fat loss with consistent hypertrophy training. While one shows a compact physique, the other looks closer to a malnourished long-distance runner. The event, meanwhile, has drawn criticism over the level of its participants, described as novices who barely know how to box, which reduces the sporting interest of the show.

The conclusion of the physique analysts is clear: losing weight without training only reveals what lies underneath. Illojuan, despite having lost the fat, faces a fight with the scales in his favour but without the muscular armour he needs. A flat stomach looks good in clothes, but in the ring, muscles count.
