I'm 44. And I don't care if Hut was talking to me or not. He made a claim that he can do 1.6 miles in 9 minutes on the roads and hills without being a runner and I called bullsh*t. There could be young guys visiting this thread and reading that crap and thinking that they need to be able to run 1.6 miles in 9 minutes and they could end up injuring themselves while trying. You people need to be careful with the kind of bullsh*t you post up here.
You're f*cking 200lbs+ LOK with shin problems and jacked up knees. I call bullsh*t on that.:laughing: Nobody at your weight is doing 5 miles in 30 minutes with f*cked up knees and shin splints.:atu:
LOK's just talking bullsh*t. Don't believe everything you read. Just like my stupid claim of benching 600lbs. It's all made up sh*t just for sh*ts and giggles on here.:laughing:
Of course I'd run, I didn't spend my childhood bed ridden or chained up in a basement being fed fish heads. :: But I wasn't and had never been in any concerted training for running. That's what I meant. Gatti has a specific event he can train for every day, he can probably expect to do better. But to clarify - I was wrong about 9 minutes, it was 9:31 and my average time was about 10:10. 9:31 was clearly me really pushing the envelope and I couldn't have kept that pace up for twice that long. So I think, considering Gatti has some time to train towards it, whereas I wasn't in any concerted running training at the time, just doing it now and then, something like 20m probably stands as an ambitious but doable target, IF he has a similar natural ability to me (ie painfully average but I was tall and skinny).
I'd forgotten that you were taller and rather on the thin side before, Hutster. LMAO @ Hanzy. Give us a break. Like there's hundreds of kids reading this thread who are going to damage themselves. Nice try, you're just trolling and trying to get a reaction.
Hanzy.. you have selective memory or something for one, I do not have shin splints 2) i do NOT have "jacked up knees" 3) i am not 200+ lbs 4) I run (outside or on eliptical) 6 days a week and have so for a LONG time..
Hanzy, do you have me mixed up with someone else? don't you remember last year my "mile a day" ? you talk as if I'm some broken down dude.. i'm in my PRIME baby!
Sly.. Hanzy I expect this from but not you.. if you are in shape.. and run regularly.. you SHOULD be able to do this. I have been running on and off for YEARS and am in great shape! why would that seem crazy?
Because you're over 200lbs LOK.:: You've got completely the wrong body type for running, especially running 6 min/miles for 30 minutes. If you're gonna be running that long in that short a time, you'd be like those ethiopian distance runners who don't look like they've eaten in years.:laughing:
The strongman competition isn't necessarily all about strength though too. A lot of it is explosiveness, which of course deteriorates with age.
LOK can't be anymore than 170 based on how he's looked recently in his pics and vids. He lost some weight for sure.
LOK ducked the marathon. He was afraid he couldn't win it so he pulled out! I'm still a LOK fan though.
Hanzy, you got to be pushin 295 or so right? and you are 5'2 ?> Holy.. man.. you need to get a move on it! are you just like super strong and don't care about it.. or what is it man!? 5'2 and 295 is really high man.. at your height and bone structure you should be at MOST like 155
Hanzy.. you need to lay off the fried chicken man!! i remember how we used to chow down on chicken.. and you like to eat BUCKETS of it with like a case of beer to yourself!! just cut it back a LITTLE have like 6 legs instead of 3 boxes of chicken man, you prolly are all big and sweaty and nasty.. dam man! clean it up baby!!
Come on LOK. We only live once don't we? If we only live one time in this world, why can't we enjoy ourselves? I'd much rather die happy while enjoying life instead of dying while trying to be what other people want me to be. I don't want to be like everybody else. I'm Hanzy! I like being me! :bears:
It's not that I'm trying to piss off Mike. I'm just saying that even though Mike hates me bringing it up, I thought Callie was a pretty big girl when I saw her pounding the mitts with Jeff Mayweather. I think she is by far the strongest girl Mike ever dated. She was big too. Like 5'11 and I'm thinking she was way over 200.
i like you too Hanzy.. just take care of your heart.. it's not like exercising our bodies is something that we don't enjoy... it's fun and good for you
