In the most heterosexual and acceptable manner, which one of you teamliquid members has the best body? Hit this thread up with pictures of yourself, though no penis please; i'm sure your internet penis superiority complex is dying to, though.
EDIT: screw this. this is officially a bullshitting x17-style thread. come up with the most egregious claims to chuck norris-ness athleticism you can. i will choose a winner, and they get will be granted whatever claims they can muster.
I didn't see his performance in the DDR contest, but you're probably not the most athletic if you don't got the DDR skills to back it up. There's a lot of people here who practice in multiple sports and martial arts.

Do not start this kind of thread unless you want a x17 style trash talking fest between nerds who make outrageous claims of athletic ability that nobody can disprove because nobody has actually seen them IRL before.
Edit: I bench press 70000 lbs for 30 reps twice a day. Beat that fuckers.

How impressive that is depends greatly on which state/division. In high school the only year I ran the 400m was my junior year and I put up a 48.9 but was training for 800m/1600m. 2nd place in my state and division (Texas 5A) would've taken a sub-47 :O

You guys need to differentiate the meanings of fitness, strength, athleticism, etc. A huge bodybuilder may be able to bench/deadlift/squat 1000lbs, but he's slow as hell - you wouldn't call him athletic. A 40-year old marathon guy can run 50-miles non-stop, but he can't jump to save his life - you wouldn't call him athletic. I'm not saying they're not related at all, but you can't judge a person's athleticism based on this exclusively.
OP asked for 'athletic', and athleticism is most accurately measured by vertical jump. It is very much to do with power, which is closely related to strength and speed. Very little to do with how good you look, your six-pack, how much body fat you have.

I'm 5'10 155lbs and I used to be able to stuff it. In my prime I could run a 4.5 second 40
But, I have very little upper body strength and I'm developing osteoarthritis in my left knee and hip from 20 years of competitive soccer... sooo... count me out lol

Anyone who squats 1000lbs has a pretty awesome vertical jump.

lol that's a new one. but training for vertical jump is unique. anybody training for anything else is not simultaneously optimally training for vertical jump. it's more productive to compartmentalize the comparisons according to the goals of the athletes.

well firstly, he OP actually wanted to know about who has the best body but got confused with the title =/
and how do you support that a vertical jump is the most accurate measure of athletic ability when athletics include non-power events like long and middle distance running?

Huge lifters often have really good verticals and 40 yd dash times through sheer strength, though it's optimal to do some explosive training. And if you lift for 90+ minutes a day every day, you may not be able to do a 50 minute 10 mile run, but you'll get there.
I'm not sure if I'm the most athletic but I'm damn sure up there.
I run marathons, eat well, do yoga, lift weights/do plyometrics when I'm bored, and have spent 2-4 hours a day 4-6 times a week participating in grueling MMA workouts for almost two years now. I'm pretty strong for my weight (155 lbs), fast, and have cardio for days.

I could throw you further than you could run in a minute.

You could eat me faster than you could bench press 1lb too.
I cut down to 7% body fat, so when you put it next to my face, it probably appears I relatively have the best body. I'm not so sure though if you just take absolute looks.

Instant Messengerer?
Close... Individual Medley...er?ist? IMer, as in I am best at IM events (where you swim all 4 strokes in the same race), and decent at most strokes instead of specializing in one.
Yeah there needs to a definition of "fit" in the OP....are we looking for strength, endurance, flexibility, agility/speed, overall ability at sports/ a certain sport, or chances of winning a fight against _____?
And then we gotta factor in individual muscles in the body.

Long distance running does not take any athleticism, powerlifting requires at least some
I've trained in jiu-jitsu for coming up on four years now (judo and wrestling in high school, started as soon as I graduated).
After a year, I competed in the Hawaii Triple Crown (BJJ tournament that has 3 meets throughout the year) and after 6 tournaments (3 in gi, 3 no-gi) I had won 4 gold medals and 2 silver medals. As a result of my success I won the championship belt for both gi and no-gi divisions. The majority of competitors never get a chance to win a belt, and I had won two simultaneously.
Here's a picture of the two belts I won:
I'd wager that a grappling sport (short of actual fighting) is both an extremely difficult aerobic and anaerobic sport which requires extreme mental endurance and concentration. As we all know, high level competition in anything requires so much more than just talent alone.
it seems people swim alot here. im being 100 percent legit here i cant swin worth shit. i can swim like 50 meters and im done. but i was on the senior varisty track team for my high school and i ran 11.4 average (my best was 11.26) we did pretty good, coming 4th overall
i also play for the varsity soccer team for my university, but i play red shirt, meaning im one of the subs.
well i'm from a b-ball background and i consider guys who can jump high athletic. guys who can jump high always have above average running speed (never met one that didn't have decent speed), but not necessarily the other way around. so i guess the peeps here on TL who have impressive verticals would be my picks to be the most athletic.
I think i'm up there. Here's me at 18yo, 5'10, 200 lbs
[left]
I used to swim competitively and got a 1.04 100m breast , 52.65 100m free. I also wrestled and was prospected top 8 in state but i broke my hand, so who knows where i would've placed
yet another competative swimmer here. 50 and 100 free/fly are my events but I'm not gonna post my times. I only started doing strength training after swim season ended last year and I don't swim off season. My times are probably going to drop 2 seconds at least. I'm so much stronger now. I'm training for a triathlon so I guess i'm pretty fit.
unspeake is a pro (52.6 100m free at 18?!) if he's not lying.

I think athleticism is something that's hard to measure. IMO, guys who pick up a variety of athletic activities and easily excel in them are athletic. Guys who are explosive, strong, and have a lot of endurance are athletic. Guys who only train themselves to run long distances or lift a heavy weights aren't athletic IMO.
By your definition of athleticism pro gamers are top notch athletes. While they do have a lot of skill, most of them are definitely not athletic.

Athletes are participants in sports... I wasn't trying to write a definition worthy of a dictionary.
For me, it doesn't matter how well someone excels when they first pick it up. I'd rather look at the people who excel at the elite level than at the beginner level.
Explosiveness, strength, endurance are all results of training. Having a noteworthy amount of one of those previous to intentionally training for it is really unremarkable. Intentionally training for one thing in particular will usually be optimized by intentionally compromising other things. I don't see what's unique about specializing all in lifting power or long distance running that ceases to make it an athletic endeavor and, by natural extension, ceases to make its best pursuers athletic.

Wouldn't those who excel at something at a higher rate than others have a considerable advantage, even in the "elite level"? Guys who I started training jiu jitsu with who fell behind skillwise are still behind me to this day. Even though we've both put in the same amount of work for the same amount of time, the fact that I may be more athletic than them has helped me to leave them in the dust.

You seem to be confusing the term athleticism with the notion of training hard to be good at one thing. Athleticism is the intelligence of your body; some people have a higher IQ than others.

I really disagree with this, athleticism is not the same as "talent". Athleticism is absolute ability.

This article written by athletes agrees with me. http://www.endzoneathletics.com/content/view/35/66/ "First, we must understand exactly how we define athleticism and skill before we can discuss how they relate to each other or how to work towards improving them. Athleticism can be defined as, "the ability to use a variety of motor abilities (strength, power, speed, agility, coordination, stability, balance, etc.) to effectively and efficiently perform a wide variety of sporting actions." Less complicated than it sounds, this definition simply means that being a great athlete requires possessing a variety of athletic qualities (motor abilities) and being able to use them effectively to perform sporting actions. Although specific "sporting actions" are different for each particular sport, most sports also have many common sporting actions required such as sprinting, changing direction, and jumping. The difference between an average athlete and a great athlete is the ability to perform these things effectively, efficiently, and consistently. "
See how easy that was?
Instead of further straying from the subject, we should have some sort of physical gauntlet to see who really is the mastah. Crossfit anyone?

So anyone whose ever participated in any kind of sport is athletic?
For me, it doesn't matter how well someone excels when they first pick it up. I'd rather look at the people who excel at the elite level than at the beginner level.
Wouldn't those who excel at something at a higher rate than others have a considerable advantage, even in the "elite level"? Guys who I started training jiu jitsu with who fell behind skillwise are still behind me to this day. Even though we've both put in the same amount of work for the same amount of time, the fact that I may be more athletic than them has helped me to leave them in the dust.
Explosiveness, strength, endurance are all results of training. Having a noteworthy amount of one of those previous to intentionally training for it is really unremarkable. Intentionally training for one thing in particular will usually be optimized by intentionally compromising other things. I don't see what's unique about specializing all in lifting power or long distance running that ceases to make it an athletic endeavor and, by natural extension, ceases to make its best pursuers athletic.
You seem to be confusing the term athleticism with the notion of training hard to be good at one thing. Athleticism is the intelligence of your body; some people have a higher IQ than others.
Athleticism is a matter of degree, so yes everyone has it.
Having an advantage due to natural ability is just that, an advantage. They have an advantage at being more athletic, but until they have actualized their potential, they are not more athletic.
I am not confusing the term athleticism. Neither of us are confusing the term athleticism. I thought it was clear that we have different opinions on what it is and we are arguing for our opinions. I can just as easily say that you've confused athleticism with natural ability or something to do with genetics.
I find that looking at potential or rate of improvement is an irrelevant study. I look at results. If the person with better results is not more athletic, what is he?

i would LOVE to race you kids who think long distance running doesnt take any athleticism. bring it on.
talk about pacing, drafting, rhythm, early sprint for position, final sprint for finish.
ya power lifting is SO much harder -_- in the air conditioning, perfect conditions.
EDIT: not to say i dont completely idolize you nony in the SC world @_@
Oh yeah long distance running has a lot more to it than what the casual watcher of the summer olympic games and televised marathons will pick up on. Especially if it's cross country. But just as my personal preference, I think the 800m and 1500m are much cooler

ath-let-ic –adjective 1. physically active and strong; good at athletics or sports: an athletic child. 2. of, like, or befitting an athlete. 3. of or pertaining to athletes; involving the use of physical skills or capabilities, as strength, agility, or stamina: athletic sports; athletic training. 4. for athletics: an athletic field. 5. Psychology. (of a physical type) having a sturdy build or well-proportioned body structure. Compare asthenic (def. 2), pyknic (def. 1).
This article written by athletes agrees with me. http://www.endzoneathletics.com/content/view/35/66/ "First, we must understand exactly how we define athleticism and skill before we can discuss how they relate to each other or how to work towards improving them. Athleticism can be defined as, "the ability to use a variety of motor abilities (strength, power, speed, agility, coordination, stability, balance, etc.) to effectively and efficiently perform a wide variety of sporting actions." Less complicated than it sounds, this definition simply means that being a great athlete requires possessing a variety of athletic qualities (motor abilities) and being able to use them effectively to perform sporting actions. Although specific "sporting actions" are different for each particular sport, most sports also have many common sporting actions required such as sprinting, changing direction, and jumping. The difference between an average athlete and a great athlete is the ability to perform these things effectively, efficiently, and consistently. "
See how easy that was?
Instead of further straying from the subject, we should have some sort of physical gauntlet to see who really is the mastah. Crossfit anyone?
HELL YA CROSSFIT! Its all i do! i love going to the gym, and every time i walk out it feels like i am going to puke lol
And I'm agreeing with the people who are defending distance running - I did cross-country for 4 years in high school (would've run in college but the coach was a blubbering idiot), made the state meet my senior year. So much involved in that. Plus the mental edge to things too, makes it even more difficult.

Yeah crossfit is good stuff man. The local CF place lets us train there for free as long as we put CF logos on our shirts and banners. It's awesome.
Kettlebells, battling ropes, tractor tires, rowing machines, chains, sleds, medicine balls. Love it.
It's not me. I am a competitive cross country skiier and have also done vasaloppet (90km) 10times but my double poling is way too bad to get a satisfying results. Main fault is my upper body so due to that I cant place high in the real topic area of having a good looking body. I also compete at a rather high level at orienteering and I do cyclosportive races when it comes to cycling.
Would be interesting to find members that are better than me in those sports.
Anyway I wont post any pictures due to skinnyness.

I could throw you further than you could run in a minute.

If you ever come to the sates you have to check out the birkebeiner! it's a huge cross country ski race (the biggest in the states) and it is a ton of fun!

Hmm I'm prettys sure we have talked briefly about that before. Was it you that took out a girl on a date and went cc skiing? If not there are one more of us.
I'm not good but I am very serious in my commitment to skiing. I normaly place last among the serious skiiers in normal competitions and above the more for fun people. I'm not holding a FIS code this season tho since I wont compete internationally or in bigger competitions.

I cross-country, though I mostly back-country these days. I don't have skate skis but I sometimes borrow my friends, I generally prefer classic anyways since it is lower impact and I usually only nordic ski when I am too injured to downhill. I don't cross-country competitively at all, I just do it to relax and usually it's pretty social.
I also row varisty, which means 3-4hrs of workout a day, usually on the erg this time of year, as well as a pretty heaving lifting schedule. Before that I played waterpolo, swam, and ski raced. Rowing a kind of life consuming though, so I had to give up on my swimming but I still have a pass for Whistler and a new pair of team slalom skis for this year. I'm curious if there are any other rowers here, because generally I think that rowers are pretty athletic, and have a nice mix of power, agility, and endurance.
I guess my swim times are pretty decent, I made it to BC summer games and usually won my events, which isn't too impressive since my division was mostly just coaches. I have a 59.5s 100m backstroke, which was my best stroke, and my 100m free and fly are about the same at ~53s. After 100m I fade pretty hard, and last year at Storm the Wall I pulled around a 2:09 225 yard free time, but I hadn't really trained in a year for swimming.

You can define it however you want, but I think modern athleticism is more of a combination of explosiveness, finesse, skill & strength. Rugby players, soccer players, skill positions in football, forwards and guards in basketball are all what I would consider "athletic" because it requires more than just training and genetics, it takes some sort of actual non-genetic talent (which itself could be genetic you could argue).
While running beyond a 400m dash is heavily based on endurance, which requires 0 talent, but definitely hardwork and dedication and genetics. You're an athlete, and you're probably athletic, but what you're participating in requires very little athleticism IMO.

I wouldn't say running a 47 second 400m dash doesnt require talent...its something you're either born with. I could train the rest of my life and never hit that while michael johnson probably hit that like a year into running. Talent is defined as a special natural ability or aptitude, i.e. something you're born with that others arent, which speed falls heavily into. However i wouldn't define sprinters as athletes, but more of as talented, hardworking competitors. I think most people would agree that it is the combination of speed/explosiveness/strength mixed with the motor skills and dexterity to apply those to a variety of sports that categorize people as great athletes. Take lebron james, he has the insane athleticism to play any variety of athletics at a very competative level, if not professional. The sports you listed above generally have the athletes that could succeed in multiple sports, if not at the level of their specialized sports, which is why you might label them as better athletes then more specialized sports/competitions such as swimming, track&field, hockey, wrestling/fighting sports. For instance you could take people such as deangelo hall, devin hester, and chris johnson and make them professional track runners, but you couldn't take usain bolt and make him a professional football player.
/end random thoughts TLDR: i define a great athlete as someone who has versatile skills rather than specilaized

That doesn't sound so bad, except for the jumping pull ups. I do about half of those twice a week during plyo workouts. Is a kettlebell like an 18 pound sand-filled medicine ball? And what's a double under?

A kettlebell is unique in the way its shaped. It's a lot harder ( for me anyway) to do certain exercises with a KB than with a DB. It's basically a ball with a handle sticking out.
A double under is skipping rope but having the rope pass under you twice after every jump. The workout isn't too tough until the burpees and double unders; that's when your lunch starts bubbling up.
You also realize that all of this is non-stop right? There are no breaks between each exercise.
hey i am going to do the filthy 50 tonight! ill post later and let you know how it goes.
But about a week ago i really made myself happy when i tried to do the following:
75 pullups (wide grip dead hang of course)
120 pushups
Got that all done in under 15 min. yay
However more about the filfy 50- no it doesn't look that bad, but try going through that as fast as possible? Trust me the last 50 burpees always make me want to die! That and the kettle bell swings really hurt but at that point in the workout, your still not breathing hard.
Its just the last 2 sets- burpees and double unders must die
So it's endurance training, not really explosive training? Like I wouldn't do 50 box jumps in a row, box jumps lose their plyometric value if your muscles get fatigued and you don't do it with full explosiveness. There shouldn't be anything wrong with doing core exercises nonstop though.

It's actually really bad to do a serious core workout if you lift a lot doing other things. I've seen many people over train their abs this way.. including me (well it started to happen, noticed quickly). Albeit, this is only for people who do a lot of other body workouts that involve the core (most do).

Don't underestimate the wall balls, they can really take a lot out of you. Do your best tonight.
Definitely not me in terms of body :p ... although I would probably say I'm one of the strongest bodyweight exercise guys here.
Really depends on what the OP is looking for. Are we really going to say running is better than swimming or basketball prowess is better than track and field? Lifting weights vs running? Shrug.
BTW, since you guys are mentioned filty 50... any of you actually go to CF affiliates? If so, which ones?

naw, im sure u have a body that looks similar to mine, which means u look like a major badass
Ok so i learned something today- i thought that 3 cups of coffee, 3 PB&J milk and banana would be digested after my hour lecture.
So i was at the gym today (right after my lecture class) finishing the filthy fifty workout. I was making good time (only 10 wall ball, 50 burbees and 50 double unders left to go) with only 18 min on the clock. But then- i needed to go to the bathroom, and baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad. I end up puking my guts out. Everything came back up, and damn it burns. So i decided to call it a night lol. Guess i will finish the burpees and wall ball shots in the morning lol

I have only practiced teamsports, but overalt I am pretty athletic. Months ago a run cooper test for 3250m(the test is u run for 12mins). Next spring I will try a half maraton and maybe later the whole deal .
*provo* weightlifting is for guys who dont have play-eye for teamsports*provo*
Also best athletics around here r from football(soccer). Cause lot more money involved then other sports, better coaches in junior level etc.
Haha why do people have this delusion that skinny people are fast and big guys are slow? The fastest sprinters/skaters/etc in the world all have gigantic legs. Playing too much final fantasy or something I guess!

You won't find a single pro athlete who doesn't lift weights
hey inc, can i ask how much you lift, i dont want a dick measuring contest or wtv but i like competition even if its through tl net. Im 6"7 240-245 pounds (havent weighed in a couple of weeks) and i can bench 3 1/2 to 4 plates on a flat bench press (365-405 pounds) with 4 being my max(1 rep) and bicep curl 80-90 pounds on each arm with 90 my max (2 reps) oh and i cant run fast but i can do a mile in under 9 mins so yay

I haven't been training lately but my best bench is 600 lbs. I preacher curl 85lbs 3 sets of 6. Those are pretty much my most impressive lifts. I have a leg injury so I didn't even really begin training squat/deadlift.

Not true. Many pro athletes do not lift weights. Actually tons of them dont lift weights because it doesnt benefit them in the sport that they do. Many boxers dont lift weights, swimmers, basketball players etc etc.
When Kevin Durant came into the NBA he was 6'9 220 lbs. During training camp he was asked to bench press with the team. He could NOT bench press 180 lbs ONE TIME. Who cares? hes still good at basketball....
I'm 5'5" 145 lbs I've been to known to put down 3 full-sized Chipotle burritos in one sitting. I run bleachers and hills pretty fast. I do dips and chin/pull ups like noones business. I have a 1,005 lb big three total.

No I'm pretty sure they all do.
He was asked to bench press with the team because the whole team lifts weights.
I believe it was the combine and I believe it was 185, would be odd to add 2.5s. The problem is it's harder to bench with longer arms. Although some athletes may eschew weight training, it has become a widely accepted in training programs for basketball, football, and sprinters (can't vouch for other sports).
If you ever watch an nba ring ceremony, they call out the strength and conditioning coach.

Lol what!?!?
I know Division 1, 2 and 3 Cross-Country runners (arguably the last sport you will ever need to do weight training for) who all do regular lifting programs for not only legs but upper body. Fuck, before I quit, I was doing a lifting program.
I think to really get an answer we need a better definition of "athletic". For the record, I would say Inc is pretty damn athletic, you don't get that strong from sitting on your ass. Also, any claims to athleticity should be backed up with pics.

lol you can't be serious??
and just because a guy is ripped doesn't necessarily mean he's athletic. i knew this guy who was absolutely shredded but wasn't very athletic as far as 'basketball athleticism' (couldn't run very fast nor jump high) was concerned.
Umm many athletes do not lift weights. Im not gona waist my time finding the quote for Kevin Durant...i saw it live on espn when he was drafted....ppl made fun of him for it. Also clearly none you u follow boxingg. Many boxers especially at the lower weight divisions do not lift weights. Yes of course they exercise duh...but many do not have a dedicated weight training program becuase it it can mess up their punching ability adding too much muscle. Also they cant afford to put on too much muscle when they are try to cut weight and make weight for a tiny division. Ive been following boxing since i was like 10...and seen/been to many local training camps as well. Anyone that watched the draft or followed Kevin Durant prolly knows the not being able to bench press 180 lbs thing...find the quote urself lol.
edit: and yes im serious...and yes thats true about kevin durant.

well the boxing i can understand, i know for a fact that the P4P king doesn't lift weights. but as far as basketball is concerned i find that extremely hard to believe. and durant may not have lifted weights before, but he probably is right now

Yes, I know about Kevin Durant not being able to bench, but that was an isolated case, and now he is lifting. Don't you think that it might not have been such a big deal if "many athletes do not lift weights."? C'mon, think that one through.
As far as boxing, I can't give you citations and proof, and I don't follow it religiously, but I'd bet that some very basic weightlifting is involved that doesn't add onto muscle bulk.
At the moment, my school has 15 varsity level sports, and I know for a fact that every one of them has at least two or three lifting sessions a week in addition to practices, plus games. Some are national champion caliber, some are mediocre and some are bad, but all of the teams do.
One of the things that people don't realize is that weight training actually helps aerobic or anaerobic respiration. I want to say anaerobic, but I can't remember off of the top of my head, and I can't find my source (it was a photocopy of a workout plan my high school coach gave me).

Oh man.. Neither do I think that inc is athletic. It's cool that he can bench press 500lb, but all of his size definently does not come from muscles. I don't care about that but it's stupid to get angry from facts. Combine weight lifting and durability excercise and you're set + Show Spoiler +

As far as my experience in boxing, martial arts, and mma go, most fighters I've seen do not regularly lift weights. What I have seen many times, and what I did myself, was lift weights and do the whole protein, creatine, get big and ripped thing once. After that the only thing I ever would use weights for would be for building strength in very specific areas (using ankle weights while doing slow kicks, punching with dumbbells, etc). If you keep on getting bigger you never really have a chance to get used to the new weight, and its pretty damn important to be comfortable with your punches and kicks.

I am curious to know what you think.
I think that being strong is athletic. Why would it not be? Look at shot putters. Are they athletic? are they 'huge'?
If that is the definition of athletic, then the crossfit ideal pretty much matches it. It had always occurred to me that athleticism was simply a way of showing physical prowess. Weather it be running, jumping, lifting, swimming, biking skiing ext. I figured if you were go at any of that, you were athletic lol
On November 11 2009 18:40 Squeegy wrote: The answer is Incontrol. The guy has squat over 9000! Sorry, I mean over 800.
Which is still not really the definition of being athletic imo. Surely he is strong as an oxe but I dunno I just think that athleticism involves some running/swimming/jumping whatever.
You don't call tennis players or powerlifters athletes in the same sense as runners, tri-ATHLETES, swimmers etc.
I think the only thing to argue here is the definition of athletic. From my point of view being athletic means a very well proportionate body with strong, thin and long muscles... like for tennis players and runners. Athletic =/= strong in my perception.
However, if you count being big and well built and able to do some more or less athletic sports like hammer throw then you can count iNc as being athletic indeed.
I think usually being athletic is usually tight up with agility which isn't that much about being strong.
I also don't think getting jacked as shit makes you athletic.
If you took a look at the most athletic guy I know you would have no idea how insanely fit he is. But then I go to a workout with him and do courtrunning/footwork drills and after we finish he does 1600 double unders in a row. How fucking insane is that.

I used to be the same way. Weo do them in sets of 100 with 30 seconds break inbetween, shoot for 100 in a minute.
I can actually do the skipping just fine now, but still right around when I hit 50-60 I just get dead tired.
Although I have a really shitty rope and need to get a new one, but still.

You are right, I do have a percentage of body fat. Lower than you'd think.. but clearly all my size does not come from muscle.

THAT is incredibly athletic. GSP who is lean as fuck and ripped would get TROUNCED by him (dif weight class etc. yeah yeah).. just as an example of how disconnected your logic is.
I don't know if I am the most athletic person here. But evaluating what you presume to know about me because of a perceived BMI you want to conduct through a few pictures is bad. I played highschool football, baseball, track and intramural basketball. In college I played a year of football and competed in Weightlifting for a year. I also played select soccer (football) as a kid until I was 14 which helped give me leg speed.. I ran a 4.6 second 40 yard (means more to americans) while weighing around 275 (I'm lighter now). I was/am certainly athletic. The guys on the show made the same mistake when they presumed I couldn't do the martial arts course... they were wrong and so are you.

Yep and you are a fucking ass. You must be the new TL pre-teen trash that has suddenly flooded this site.

Frankly i would guess that you are either some skinny little shit, or a beached whale- that has never been to the gym a day in his life.

Oh man.. Neither do I think that inc is athletic. It's cool that he can bench press 500lb, but all of his size definently does not come from muscles. I don't care about that but it's stupid to get angry from facts. Combine weight lifting and durability excercise and you're set + Show Spoiler +
before I get flamed I wan't you to know I excercise daily
You are right, I do have a percentage of body fat. Lower than you'd think.. but clearly all my size does not come from muscle.

Yeah did anyone see "The Ultimate Gamer" where they had to sprint around jumping and breaking things. iNc rocked it, seriously I think he made it the furthest, and there were some really slim lookin people who just couldn't keep up. He may be built like a tank but if you watched the show you'd know he doesn't move like one.

InC, you aren't the only one - I was training for Football last summer with a guy in a division 1 school for Basketball. I was out sprinting him (up to the 110 yard sprints and above), and I weighed 255 at the time. A good 60 lbs heavier than he did. Granted, I didn't have a 4.6 in the 40, but I did get under 4.8 consistently for a while. A 4.6 is very impressive.
IMO, it's better to be able to play multiple sports than limiting yourself. It is better to be diverse, than it is to, for example, simply be able to run a marathon..... Sure, running is nice and all, but, honestly, if you spend all your time running, are you going to be able to swing a baseball bat with a lot of force? Are you going to have the arm strength to block someone in Football? Are you going to have the balance required for skiing? There is a lot you miss out on by limiting yourself. That's why I think the best athletes are the ones who can play many different sports well. They may not be the best at their sport, but they can do so much more overall.
Plus, being bigger has it's benefits. If a friend is moving, you're the first they're gonna call to help - and they always provide food and booze as compensation. Definitely a worthwhile trade off for me . There are so many times when it's worthwhile to be strong. Lawnmower breaks down -> lift it into the back of your truck to take it somewhere to get fixed. Something is stuck behind the refrigerator -> move it yourself with ease. I could go on..... And the ladies like it

Incontrol, I did not say that I weigh athleticism on BMI. And my post wasn't a personal assault towards you as you propably thought. Congratulations on your accomplishments. Tho none of them really required that much durability/stamina/endurance. We clearly have different opinions on what it requires to be called an athletic person. For me the word "athletic" means that you must have more agility, strength and durability than average people. If you actually fill all these requirements then I apologize. But then again I don't know what is an "average" person for you.
Lol. And that guy you posted would kick you to the curb, then eat you for dinner..... Yet somehow, you're in better physical shape than him?
To walk, that guy has to have stronger legs than you do. To shove around guys his size, he has to have an upper body that is stronger than yours. Not to mention the balance required to keep that much weight standing.....
And, go watch a match sometime - they aren't that slow.....

Yeah did anyone see "The Ultimate Gamer" where they had to sprint around jumping and breaking things. iNc rocked it, seriously I think he made it the furthest, and there were some really slim lookin people who just couldn't keep up. He may be built like a tank but if you watched the show you'd know he doesn't move like one.
A bit OT, but is there anyway to watch "the ultimate gamer" now?
Sumo wrestlers are not fat in the same sense as a fat person. Their fat is simply covering their muscle, allowing for added cushion when 2 400lb people come smashing together. The truth of the matter is, sumo are extremely fit. Both muscular and cardio
here is a nat geo show on them:
I am not going to post all of it, but you should watch the entire thing if your interested. It's very educational.
Moving on to crossfit!!!! Crossfit followers and people that just want to try it- i want to know which one of us is the most crossfitest! So i present to you this challenge!
I just did the 'cindy' workout today. Cindy is 5 wide grip pull ups, 10 push ups, 15 squats. Do as many as you can in 20 min.
I finished 15 sets of this in 20 min. TL how many did you do?
The winner will receive the title of most crossfitest TL member lol
Seeing as you want to know who has the best body and not who runs the most laps I feel like the answer is pretty simple, Uncontrollable, isn't she like Miss Kansas or something? She won this thread before it even started. Pack your crap and go home.

I'm embarrassed to say I only did 10 rounds. I can't do many push ups at all.

Well maybe I'd run away and laugh at him not being able to catch me. or Maybe I would climb into a tree and watch as can get himself up at all. Btw I didn't even say that I am in better physical shape than him. But now that you mentioned; YES, I bet I'm in way better physical condition than him. sure he propably is stronger than me, that I'll admit
To walk, that guy has to have stronger legs than you do. To shove around guys his size, he has to have an upper body that is stronger than yours. And, go watch a match sometime - they aren't that slow.....
This is so idiotic I'm not even goin to response.
Not to mention the balance required to keep that much weight standing.....
wow it really is damn impressive accomplishment if one is able to keep himself standing! haha

2 definitions for what an athlete is. Basically we have a difference between the US and the British definition in the english language which of course renders the discussion of what an athlete is, obsolete.
1. (US) A person who actively participates in physical sports, possibly highly skilled in sports. (Known in British English as a "sportsperson".)
2. (British) A participant in track and field sports.
5' 11", 160 lbs, bench 200, 5:12 mile, 12 years competitive wushu, active traceur and I still think I lose to a lot of the people on here. Very impressive showing all round guys.

HEY HEY HEY doing 1 set every 2 min is nothing to scoff at! that is really good! I am sure that you will get your push ups good or so in a few weeks. See if you can improve. That is the name of the game you know~ also- every one needs to try this and post results. who is the greatest crossfitter among us?

Sounds fun, gonna try this tomorrow.
good luck! see if you can get somewhere between 10-15 for 1st place!

Well I think TL is overwhelmingly American rather than British (Sorry KwarK and Midian... can't think of anyone else.)
I'm somewhat athletic but not compared to some people on here. Let's see some basic stats are... I'm 6'0 160 (trying to gain some muscle weight, pretty damn skinny right now) and I can run a 52 second 400m and bench 180. My mile time is around 5:10ish but I haven't run one in a while, probably a bit slower now.

^ this x1000
What some of you assume about him is laughable.
edit: also, how many debates have been proposed and resolved on here about whether or not iNc is "fat?" Get over it. I would bet his BMI is above average. He's just built like a gladiator.
It makes sense to put more "athletic weight" into something that a lot more people participate in (e.g. sprinting - who DOESN'T run?) than something a tiny percentage of the world does (e.g. x-c skiing - not everyone has access to snow).
Once the popularity of the sport is taken into consideration, its weight in measuring athleticism can be gauged. This sport can then used as a marker for human physical feats: strength, explosiveness, endurance even mental acuity and toughness are fair game for athletic measurements (all while keeping in mind the level of competition and popularity).
Based on this I'd have to say Inc. would roll a LOT of you guys up (piste lol). Handegg, weightlifting, and sprinting (4.6 40yd) - all popular activities and on top of that hes pretty damn good at it.
Trident, mOnion and Nony too (1:59, 1:53, 1:53 800m times respectively, also translating to sick sprint times) - we all run, and these guys just do it better than the vast majority of posters here.

i would think the pullups were harder to do especially since they come in 5's
Incontrol your BMI is probably above 20% you just dont enjoy being a fatass so you try to make everyone think that your not fat
You also brag about being strong but when your obese and strong you can lift more than a lighter guy, if you were actually in shape (in which case you would have to lose about 100++ pounds) you would lose much muscle. its EZ to be fat iNc.
And the only way a guy like you could run a 4.6 40 is if the coach who timed you wait a good couple seconds after you started running to start the clock

Once the popularity of the sport is taken into consideration, its weight in measuring athleticism can be gauged. This sport can then used as a marker for human physical feats: strength, explosiveness, endurance even mental acuity and toughness are fair game for athletic measurements (all while keeping in mind the level of competition and popularity).
Based on this I'd have to say Inc. would roll a LOT of you guys up (piste lol). Handegg, weightlifting, and sprinting (4.6 40yd) - all popular activities and on top of that hes pretty damn good at it.
Trident, mOnion and Nony too (1:59, 1:53, 1:53 800m times respectively, also translating to sick sprint times) - we all run, and these guys just do it better than the vast majority of posters here.
Does it really matter when the thread is about who has the most athletic body? It does not matter what you do as long as it makes you look athletic, whatever that looks like.

And the only way a guy like you could run a 4.6 40 is if the coach who timed you wait a good couple seconds after you started running to start the clock
Wtf dude... you made an account just to say that? He's a tank and you wish you could be him.
Yeah Your right, I wish i could be a incontrol, i wish i could be as fat as him, i wish i could be as bad at starcraft as him after playing for 10 years.
It would be awesome to be incontrol, but wouldnt it be more awesome to be a Skinnier starcraft player with no life.
This is not US-East. I have no idea why you are jelaous of incontrol but you should really calm down.

and plus inc looks like he has never played an athletic sport in his life, and he also looks like hes a couple twinkies away from diabetes
Anyone who saw inc tear up that board breaking obstacle course tornado style would never say this. He has the spirit of the samurai.
Also, my best 3k time in cross country is 17:12. I plaid basketball, football, and ran track competitively. I drop stuff and then catch it before it hit's the ground like all the time. Like the other day I was putting some glasses in the cupboard and one of the other glasses fell out and I moved my hand really fast from above my head to the glass at stomach level and caught it before it hit the counter. Same thing happened the other day with a bottle of nyquil. My hands are super fast.

If you don't even know what iNcontrol looks like, how can you say he's fat? Wtf are you on? Every pic I've seen of him is similar to what Anna just posted

Look at any pic of him with his EG shirt on, he looks fat, with saggy tits
Is distance running the only thing you find athletic? I mean I guess if thats the only thing you define as athletic. Then yeah Inc not a athleat, but if you find strength, speed, quickness to be athletic traits how is Inc not a athleat lol?

Hey look another pretentious fuck. Sorry butt hurt skinny / overweight chump, but you won't last long around these here parts. Clearly inc is a fat ass when he is dating a model. But you haven't been around here long enough to know that......too bad that still doesn't excuse you from being an ass.

I think they do... I know for a fact that they do powercleans, overhead squats, and front squats pretty regularly which are somewhat related to oly lifts.
Inc do you really not squat or deadlift at all? I thought you played football in college, they're like mandatory lifts.
I can benchpress 20 000 cheeseburgers each arm while pushing 100000000 siege tanks stacked on top of each other up and down...... WITH MY TONGUE!!!! I can also use my pecks to make diamonds and crush even harder substances, such as Rekrul's pride and FirebatHero's pelvis.
So yeah I'm pretty much the manliest and most athletic dude whos ever been on TL, ever. Don't worry though, I <3 TL and <3 standing up for my TL pals with some good ol' fashioned bromance.

why do u even pay any mind to those fags who think that being a skinny nerd is the peak of physical fitness. I'm glad that there are women like uncontrollable who know an alpha male when they see it!

Ohoh and last but not least, my biceps are still sore from previous workout, so the pull ups scare me. Maybe if I keep them ultra-wide to focus more lat wise I'll be fine. Maybe I should just wait until tomorrow, but today is leg day anyways and I could use some lat work

excelling at several lifts>excelling at one single thing
Being outstanding at one thing > being decent at several. 1005 combo is pretty good, but notice his place on the list; even within his gym hes not tops. A 4:07 is state champion time. Fucking incredible.
ofcourse he is not. Because he's a small fella and there are weight classes. Im sure he can provide you with exact numbers for that, but 1005 combined is up to par with state championships. In fact, a year or two ago in a junior division it woulda made him competitive on a national level.

This guy is a hero. All you people who think you're more athletic cause you run a 5 minute mile or whatever don't have shit on this guy. Jesus, are these highbar squats? http://vimeo.com/3305243 beaaaasstttt
5 minute mile?
try 4:07.

excelling at several lifts = excelling at several races. aka: mile, 2 mile, 800, 400 and steeple chase.
also the 40.
EDIT: JESUS im waving my e-penis hard @_@ i havent defended my athleticism in so long. too lazy.
Strictly from technical standpoint the big 3 is employing all the muscles in your body equally while running doesnt. But given how hard i personally find running i give u a go ahead on the = sign. Yall are equally awesome. Carry on.
Also you're not waving any epenis. Unless you provide proof, we're just talking hypotheticals.
I don't wanna take pictures of my body and post it up. I do Gymnastics, Martial Arts, Parkour and Free Running, and is dedicating my life to becoming a stuntman. Heres my most recent video

That might be because he's 150ish pounds. 1005 at 150 lbs is fantastic for a younger person. Probably the rest of the people at his gym's 1000 club are much much bigger than him.

point taken. however...i dont think its necessarily fair to say someone who runs a 4:07 mile - ridiculous at any weight, age, race or height - is in anyway LESS athletic than someone who can lift that (which incidentally is great at specific conditions, but less so in others).
(my post was more of a defense for mOnion than a bash on ha.ck - youre both obviously athletic. )

Everyone has different ideals for athleticism so I don't think you can really define it.
And as for the 1000 club: when I graduated high school last year the next lightest person on there was 170 lbs with a 1035 total (Faith Ntundi on the picture). He's a year younger than me and is a state qualifying wrestler.
Yes those are high bar squats, they just feel better (for me) than lower placement. Even in the 1 rep max picture you'll see the bar very high. When I place them lower it actually decreases the bar's travel distance by about 2.5 inches which is ridiculous and maybe I could have put up more poundage.

Ok.
Thread is over now I guess? :D
Man, I really hope you make it, that was some good stuff.
That video was pretty awesome. The part where you are just holding yourself up in the air horizontally.... That must take such sick strength. Gymnasts are amazing.
