CrossFit Winner - The Fittest Man on Earth?

[Walter Sobchak]

Interesting.

That's a great way to look at it - if he is as fast as he is strong, that would be pretty impressive.  If.  But as you said, it is likely not in the same standard deviation!  Nice to see that you are using the correct terminology to assess it.

If all goes well this weekend, I will be heading to the CAASA Strongman Nationals representing Western Ontario in the lightweight class.  Two competitors per province qualify.  It's nothing special, but my goal is to stay 170 for good health - you will only get so strong at 170.

Blah, blah, blah....no one fucking cares. You're skinny small weak and queer.

On the other hand that makes you a perfect representative of Ontario

The top crossfit guys are impressive.  Good physiques and explosive power all while still being able to run a mile in a good time.  Dangerous sport though and I hear they're injured all the time.  Probably a good thing for everyone to do, only with much lighter weight.

Matt has a Howard like quality where he starts threads on a very specific topice that he inevitably turns into a how he'd do in comparison if all things were equal. 

It's odd behavior for someone over 30.

It's the natural/drug free  mindset if I did Y I could have been X that comes across as the most annoying.

Good strength for his size though.

Matt you can't say you're staying at 170 for good health and then in the same breath talk about over loading your frame moving large weights.

It's fine you want to compete in strongman at your weight but as another light heavyweight  competitor told me at NAS nationals no one cares about the world's strongest little man,  they want to see the strongest man period.

The twink is 170 FFS.

He'd be better off posting his sperm count results at a high school swim meet.

Vacations to where locals are poor and of troublesome color are always a warrant of getting your shit stolen.

Pretty sure he's more fit than me so I have nothing bad to say.

What do you think about Demetres Giannitsos from Canada's BB? He is described as a bber type.

The Fittest Man on Earth is the Man who can blend in and survive in any environment, be it in the deepest africa, the saharan desert, the jungle of the amazon, the suburbs in West Linn, Oregon, Detroit, being able to last one evening in the club "The Pig 'n' Whistle" in Newcastle Upon Tyne, on getbig and of course in da Cage.

Dubai India too

Dude is strong as shit, and also athletic, and has a better build than 99% of the people here.

I think crossfit is dangerous and dumb, but that's not the point.

Your first sentence summed up my position.  I'm not sure how dangerous CrossFit is, and if it is dangerous I would say that also makes it dumb, but I imagine you have looked into it and little more than I have, in order to hold that position.

I wanted to say that Rich Froning probably has size comparable to Frank Zane - but Frank was 185 to 205 in contest condition.  That may have put him closer to 215 in the same condition as Rich, with both being the same height - 5'9.

So Frank probably has 10-lb or more in pure muscle on Rich, but Rich still has a great physique, and clearly a functional physique at that.
