4.0 speed is just about too fast to walk, and you'd be at a rate of 15min a mile. 3.5-3.7 feels like a power walk and even then you'd be doing a walking mile in over 15 minutes. 2.5-3.0 felt like a regular, brisk walk. Good enough to cool down. 3.0 is a twenty minute mile. I'd run at a rate of 7-7.5 for about twenty minutes. Never much of a runner, but goddamn I'd be gassed afterwards. I'd have to guzzle water and air for a while. edit: i'm 5'9" i'd assume if you were taller or shorter these numbers would be off some | ||

I suppose for a guy who's 48 pounds under average, it's pretty good to be able to do sit-ups and push-ups at average rates. No way in hell I'm going to bench 180 though... | ||

Yeah, the thing is, they don't take all these tests from the same people. They probably have one large sample group do bench presses, and then a different group do the mile. Also, minima and maxima in different activities will change. For example, only very fit people can do a lot of pull-ups. Even if you can bench a lot, you might not be able to do many pull-ups. The worst people at pull-ups ending up doing 0, so that also pulls down the average. That would explain an abnormally high bench press compared to an abnormally low number of pull-ups. I know a kid who's pretty small, so he can't bench crazy amounts, but he can do one-armed pull-ups, which are balls hard. | ||

Clearly a load of bullshit. it says the average man can run a mile in 12:00 (and that's a typo as other people pointed out) it says a fit man has a resting heart rate of 52 bpm, not the average man it confuses the reader by providing data for two different groups of people and only telling you that in fine print | ||

The stats are pretty bogus, or at least some of them are. The bench numbers are too high and the mile time is too slow. I'm sure even out of shape people can do a 10 minute mile if you don't have some sort of disability and aren't ridiculously overweight. | ||

To be even more positive, I believe girls are only sensitive 3-3.5 inches in, I remember it was a 3.something for sure. Maybe it was most sensitive... idk, but it guarantees everyone has the right tool for the job, so it's just up to them to do the job right. SCIENCE, BITCHES! | ||

I can't be certain, but I'd say he was chosen with good reason. Using a picture of an incredibly fit man in stark comparison with averages of other men accentuates the differences thus making the article more interesting to the consumer. | ||
