So how fit is he? Well. He can deadlift 240 kilos, squat 190, bench 150, clean and jerk 150 and snatch 120. He's also said to be as aerobically fit as an Olympic swimmer.

Does he even lift?

i was talking to Kate about this last night. The comments on the article were humerous. Lifters were all chest puffed out saying that's not even that strong hur hur hur and cyclists... MAN do they get their panties in a bunch when someone calls someone else fitter - lets so how he goes climbing mount "insert some challenging ride name here" maintain a 350watt per hour output rah rah rah he's not fit. Yet they forget he would probably outlift many/most of them and the lifters forget he would run rings around them cardio wise most likely. He's good at his chosen sport, no different than a race car driver smashing any of us on the track, but maybe we could outlift him, doesn't make his driver championship any less impressive.

I'm like... jesus christ stop being bitches and give the man some friggen credit. I and MANY other people who consider themselves fit or who like to exercise would be stocked with those numbers, plus the pic in the article shows him looking pretty bloody good by most peoples standards.

Say what you like about the article title but give credit where it's due.

Not directed at you Leesh, just having my say on the backlash that article has received - I wont even go into the amount of people who flogged the guy for crediting god for some of it...

Credit where credit's due, but there's no way he should be labelled "the world's fittest man". Exactly as you pointed out, that can be defined in so many different ways - not all of which he'd come out on top.

Either way, I'm more concerned that a pointless story like that is "front page" news for typical News Limited sites. f**king joke the word "news" has become.

[No Crust Racing]

Because they know if they label it worlds fittest man it will bring all the gymbros and cycle nerds out to comment and we'll all post it on forums and talk about it and click on it and get spammed by ads so they can make money.

Slightly digressing, but anyone who doesn't use AdBlock this day and age is a lost cause lol

I was just being silly.

Kudos to him.

In other news, arguing with my sister about squats. She squats with dumbells and I squat in the squat rack; according to her squatting in the squat rack is cheating. I said, tell me how?

[No Crust Racing]

Who squats more?

Pics of both squatting, from behind... in short shorts.... for comparison....

She *might* be confused and think you're using the smith machine....short of not having to grip the dumbbells, there's nothing I can think of about squatting with an Olympic bar in the rack that makes it EASIER than holding dumbbells by your side.

Dumbbells = lower centre of gravity = easier to balance.

Aaaaaaaand.....

You squat just shy of 3 times what she can, and she's doing it the "easy" way. Case in point, Leesh is betterer

Also nice work on the bball shorts haha, same here.

[No Crust Racing]

Yeah maybe Smitch machine she thinks, either way. Sounds like she's clutching at something to try and justify how shit she is...

Even I'm not that shit.

cool colour

[No Crust Racing]

Oh you two are so cute.

[Trozzle]

Yeah I like them the other pairs are one bright fkn orange and one bright fkn blue. The blue ones I don't like so much because I somehow accidentally got large instead of medium....and when you're purchasing them in the US, "large" is more like "extra f**king massive like a dress with legs" hahaha

But yeah $20+tax for a pair of Nike bball shorts was a steal!! Not to mention that mad ass Nike sweater I picked up for $30+tax haha

f**k this country and our ridiculous markups.

Oh you two are so cute.

U JELLY KUNT?@!@$ hahaha

EDIT: f**k I'm a sexy brunette. I'd hit me. I'd hit me HARD.
