Another absolutely infallible magazine list ranking.
Arnold is no. 3.
Michael Phelps' no. 1.

Brad Pitt???? ::)
I do like Jackie Chan being on that list though. And Richard Simmons. That's awesome. :)
-

Holy fuck... Jay looks like an infant with bloating and rosacea. And Rühl looks, well, like you'd expect Rühl to look.
-
I'll be looking for imbasile and goodbum on the list.
-
Bruce Lee really should have been 1. There's no way Phelps could do anything close to what Lee could (or anyone for that matter), but Lee could certainly put in a good performance in swimming.
-
Is there a better bodybuilder "Out on the Town" look than the size M Under Armour tucked into the jeans?
-
I'd say about 25% of the people on the list weren't "fit", they simply LOOKED fit.
Strong Men? Puh-Lease.
-
I didn't go far into it. That a baseball player makes it into the list, even at 98 shows it to be utter nonsense.
-

are you saying strongman competitors are not fit?

My biggest problem with this list was RICHARD SIMMONS being ranked better than Michael Jordan. Are you kidding me?

Lol, no way lee is Olympic caliber swimmer, just for fun lets say he could swim as fast as phelps he'd still lose because of phelps reach. All the Olympic swimmers that win are at least 6'2 I think phelps is 6'4

;D ;D ;D
As for the list, fit for what? If michael phelps is #1, what does that make kobayashi? -100? ???

Agree 100%
-

I'm saying that fitness is about health right?
Are you saying that they are healthy?
They have powerful physiques... that does not equate to fitness.
-
If you can't run a decent mile you're not fit. End of story. A 300lbs guy is not fit. Fitness is about health and you can't have health without a good cardio system. Most Olympia contenders can't run any distance without keeling over.

Aleksander Karelin at #65?
Behind a bunch of twink Hollywood actors?

I was of course not implying he could come close to beating him. I merely meant, put Lee in a swimming pool and he'll swim a respectable time. Let Phelps try to do anything Lee could do and he'll fail completely. Lee is certainly the better allround athlete. No one came as close to mastering the human body as Lee did. At least not that we know of.

THAT LIST IS BUNK and FLAWED!
Where is Melvin Goodrum on that list? Squadfather? Tbombz? Craig Titus?
BUNK i say!
-
Jesus christ look at the size of Ruhl
Ruhl and Cutler look like bloated pigs......and why does Ruhl find the need to wear a muscle shirt? He needs to be noticed that bad?
-

Wait. Richard Simmons in on the list? Seriously?!? What the fuck?
-

It's about being fit... not how someone "looks".
Richard Simmons has been doing fitness shit since before Jordan was born... The dude is fit... He just isn't some model.
I have no issue with that.

Could not agree more.
-
I have a lot of respect for what Richard Simmons has done. Lots of people do workout videos featuring athletic people doing routines of varying difficulty. Simmons did videos featuring morbidly obese people doing routines designed to get them started on the road to becoming healthy. He may be a complete homo and totally out there whackadoodle...but I'm willing to bet he's extended a lot of lives by getting unhealthy people moving.
Well done!!!
-

pretty sure that someone like kaz in peak strongman form is far fitter than Richard Simmons.

Really?
That's why that Jesse Marunde dude at the age of 27 right?
He placed 2nd in the WSM 2 years before he died.
You can't possibly believe what you are saying.
-
The problem is we all have a completely fucked idea of "fit".

there's a reason I said "peak Kaz" b/c I knew you'd come rolling out with something like this... thought you'd go with Jon Pall S
Yeah, peak Kaz would pwn Richard Simmons
also, i've seen your pic... so you'll excuse me if I don't give your opinions on general fitness credence (possible you're fit, but you looked like a recreational lifter who doesnt do anything else fitness-wise).

You think Peak Kaz can run a mile faster than Richard Simmons? Or do endurance activities for a longer duration? (Kaz was almost 350 pounds when he was competing... There is nothing "fit" about a person who weight 350 pounds.
Even TODAY, Richard Simmons being almost 70 probably owns Kaz... So yeah... You keep on thinking that.
You're quite possibly delusional.
What does what I look like have anything remotely to do with this list or who is on it?
Answer: Nothing.

answer: based on what you look like, you've never tried the shit kaz did... and your mile time sucks... so you know nothing about either thing, which results in bs like the post above. sure, simmons might be a minute/minute and a half faster on the mile than peak Kaz (doubt it, i'm going to guess Kaz at 320 was still good for an 8:30-9:00 mile) ... what do you think happens when they have to lift or throw something?

Well said. He hit a niche no one else had...and one that desperately needed a fit lifestyle more than most.

Their blood pressure goes through the roof and they put huge strain on their hearts.
BUT
They are also already carrying around that mass constantly... therefore they are not fit.
My best mile time was just under 6 minutes, but of course that was almost 20 years ago... The last time I timed myself with a mile was somewhere around 9 or 10 years ago and that was around 7 minutes.
Of course I don't run these days... I'll admit I wasn't much of a runner in the first place. Just wasn't my thing.
-
To really be fit, you cannot just be strong.
You need to be above average in every area, running, climbing, swimming, cycling, lifting etc
Strength, Speed, Stamina, not just Strength
-
So the 100 "fittest" men of "all time" happen to be mostly metrosexual celebrities.
By contemporary standards (I won't go into how we could classify historical figures) most Special Operators should be on the list but then who would care about the list if it didn't have Pitt or Simmons..
Another BS list but this is Men's Health after all..

I do see where you are going here and you make a lot of sense.
Where's the CIA ground ops... the SEALS... the SAS?

Can we all agree that Bruce Lee needs to be number 1 on that list? I will then contact Men's Health and let them know their patriotism (putting Phelps first) is not wanted by the home of fitness, Getbig.
-

It's for nothing to do with Simmons' looks and whether he has abs or not irrelevant. I simply do not believe he is for by any reasonable definition of the term.
Richard Simmons has been doing fitness shit since before Jordan was born... The dude is fit... He just isn't some model.
Sure, he's been doing it for a long time and kudos to him for making a good living and helping others improve their lives. But that doesn't make him "fit".
Perhaps he is in good physical condition - I wouldn't know - but I don't see any evidence that he is. To be fair, the evidence that he isn't isn't there either.
-
We've probably never heard the name of the fittest man of all time. I'd definitely put Olympic Athletes and Special Operators at the top of the list though.
-
Losers, all of you! You're all totally ignoring the one man on that list that stands out........Mr T! One fit looking mufucka.

And Chuck Norris!

I think Chuck actually is/was exceptionally fit but Mr T?????? I'll tell you who is missing from that list and that is Geoff Hunt the world squash champion from the early eighties, he was widely recognised as the fittest man alive at the time. Fitter than Mr fucking T anyway!

wikipedia disagrees with you, guy who didn't know the name of thors hammer.
In 1981, when he was 17, Jahangir became the youngest winner of the World Open, beating Australia's Geoff Hunt (the game's dominant player in the late-1970s) in the final. That tournament marked the start of an unbeaten run which lasted for five years and 555 matches. The hallmark of his play was his incredible fitness and stamina, which Rehmat Khan helped him build-up through a punishing training and conditioning regime. Jahangir was quite simply the fittest player in the game, and would wear his opponents down through long rallies played at a furious pace.

Lou Ferrigno asked Chuck Norris to show him how to do barbell curls. The result is what we know today as the cambered bar-and Lou got $20 poorer.

Did Jose Canseco make the list?

Jim Thorpe and Bo jackson played baseball...obviously never saw Thorpe compete, but Bo Jackson was one hell of an athlete

The fact that mark walhberg beat jackson, tells alot about how one should value the list. Even in popularity, I wouldn`t rank walhberg that high.

Yeah...that's pretty fucked up. I didn't even read it.....
