chairohkey Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 You have to remember though that his base is an insane ability to do work. The fat falling off in gobs is simple if you have the work capacity to blow 1500-2000+ calories a day on exercise. Just don't gorge yourself in order to eat back your workout calories and buh bye fat.The you can't outrun your fork saying is a bit disingenuous. It applies to fitness noobs and people willing to put forth limited effort. If you can train yourself into a very high work capacity, outrunning your fork is a very real problem.Generally when you look at a guy like he is in the fist pic, it doesn't appear that he is in very good shape. But quite the contrary in fact, by the end of the season NFL players are in awesome shape. To play on the lines in the NFL you need to have a ridiculously high natural ability to keep your weight up while performing at a high level. Very, very, very few people on this planet can work out as hard as NFL players do, get in NFL shape, and hold 300+ lbs (the Bill Parcells planet theory, when in doubt take the big guy, there just aren't a lot of these guys on earth). Most fat people would quickly lose all their weight if they exercised at the level of an NFL player.+1 for truth.http://www.jimwendler.com/2012/01/you-can-out-train-your-diet/ Quote Link to comment
161803398874989 Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 I know the wideout who tried ninja warrior could parallel squat 450lb or so.I think a better choice would be to focus on upper body strength training. Jordan Jovchtev is a Bulgarian gymnast (so there's a large focus on upper body training) and he made it to the final stage on his first ever attempt at Ninja Warrior. Quote Quare?

And I'm an archaeology nerd.What I really like about the Augustus statues is that even though they never really show his muscles, you can still tell that he must have been an incredibly powerful presence under all that armor XD Quote Link to comment
