Years ago on the tnation forums I read a post where the op talked about having squatted 600lbs at 198 in a powerlifting meet, and ran a sub 60:00 10 mile run on the same day, likely official in a race. Busy day.
That’s a cool mix of abilities.
Recently two men, an Adam Klink and a Fergus Crawley, have squatted 500lbs and run a sub 5:00 mile on the same day.
Pretty cool abilities, a good show of true human potential. I remember my high school’s linebacker pulling off a 5:15 mile at probably 5’10” 190lbs. If he wasn’t a bench bro I probably could’ve witnessed this in high school. It’s definitely doable for more.
Fergus made a video :
There’s Alex Viada who was talked about much a few years back, and I’m sure there’s at least a handful of dudes in the military, and probably a bunch of college level and higher athletes who could do these things. For example I’d put money on a top tier college wrestler having the 5:00 & 500.
Ever heard of STREND fitness challenge?
