As soon as you mention any of these guys being in shape, it always awakens the “you think THAT’S fit? I’d love to see them walk a day in MY shoes” crowd.
I’m not going to keep going back and forth with these delusions. I work with guys from Michaels/Precision/Inrock/Midwest Limited, etc. Stop it. Everyone is sitting in their trucks right now because my rig is broke down. I could challenge every employee on this spread right now to a 1 mile run. I’ll be nice and say 30% would finish it and maybe 3 or 4 would be under 12mins. A couple of our welders/fitters are former pro racers so if they were here it’d be more respectable.
A stack of I,m sure weights a bit . Just like a large roll of carpet, all kinds of physical jobs get the heart rate going. Hey I,m in Clinton,NC. Now , the boys r taking an extended lunch break. Then I hv to go hyper throwing chains, straps. There’s no factory rider that could do any of it. There legs might b strong enough but there upper bodies r tiny. These Eastern European 1099 trks r more physical than a 130 lb jackhammer. With a hvy wt Indian fighter that was on espn twice. He did a Tyson under card fight, Tyson wouldn’t fight him , because you ko him repeatedly & he gets up. We only got a 1/2 in into thd concrete in 3 hrs straight. It was like an iron rd plate. Hell at 57 I look like I,m in better shape than any rider but Ken. No cardio tho but who cares it’s about who can sprint & Lead. Cadio is for some rich kid or office bro that has all the time in the world. If we ain,t working our women want pleasure for hrs. So we don’t hv time for that shit.
I'm about 2 hours away, we should meet up and smoke a J.
The Shop
yeah but NBA players can't keep their balance when someone touches their hand
I'm not saying that basketball players aren't crazy fit, because they are; but they do play with a lot of time outs, plus unlimited subs, and not to mention:
And here come the "soccer players are pussies" replies.
I've seen more than one NFL player have a hard time making a 75 yard dash after a interception or reception LOL
How long before Outdoors starts does the training change for longer race endurance?
1 month?
3x 20 min exercise bike.
3x30 min gym session.
3x20 min motos.
Do these spread out over the 17 odd ours of awake time each day equals 24.5 hours of training per week.
I could do that right now as a 43 yo unfit as shit guy off the couch. After 1 month it would be easy. Oh. I’d do all my own bike work too because I enjoy it and I’d have plenty of time for it.
It is crazy how retarded some of you are. You really think that working construction make you fitter than professional athletes?
And some of you needs to understand that the running and cycling these guys do is cross training. Of course they are not the best runner or bicycle rider on the worlds. It’s not their sport. They are the best motocross rider juste like the marathoner is the best in his respective disciplines.
you understand that every sport needs its techniques and your are only using it as cross training you do not care about having the best running form and being the fastest. All they need is to be in 80% heart rate zone for a period of time.
but yeah using a hammer on nails make you one of the fittest people on earth
See, when you go all profeshenal is when you really show how much you are willing to lie for attention........
68" vertical.....
Michael Jordan's best was 48". Yet yours was 20" higher than that.
You really are an idiot.
I’m going to go out on a limb and say they count their training hours at a certain intensity level, not the total minutes performing said activity. Jmart said he did 8 40min motos in a week at his pace most likely at a sustained 190HR. That’s in addition to off the bike training. Even if you could match his time spent, the output and intensity wouldn’t be close. That’s like discounting a 15min 5k run because you can run for 30mins. Even more deceiving would be when you have a higher heart rate than him and you claim you’re training harder because you did 30mins.
Tell us what you do for a living
No, you couldn't. At a pathetic crawl, maybe, at best. A decent effort within all those sessions? Completely unrealistic. In fact, as a 39 year old who puts in some decent work each week I had to audibly laugh at your comment.
With the lack of recovery, you'd also be working against yourself within a few days.
To the guy claiming 30 hours is disappointing. For reference, here are the weekly averages for some elite endurance athletes:
Tour de France level cyclist: 28 hours
Olympic swimmer: 28 hours
Olympic marathoner: 16 hours
Nothing was said about how much effort was going in. Obviously it would be mild af but it’s doable.
Fit yes but strong not hardly
Once again that blows my mind. I guess the danger of over training is quite easy to reach. I’m not saying it’s not hard, I’m just saying I personally THOUGHT they were doing a heck of a lot more going off the riders comments about how hard they work.
Pit Row
1 day of training.
0600-0700— cycle and gym
0700-1000— Breakfast an relax
1000-1100— cycle and gym
1100-1400— 3x 20 min moto and lunch
1400-1900— rest and bike prep
1900-2000— cycle and gym
Doable
Dean Wilson posted a 5hr century one time averaging 200 watts. I was impressed considering cycling isn’t his target sport. My FTP test last week was 4.4 w/kg.
Jeremy martin’s 5k time is ridiculously impressive. Probably the most impressive thing I heard in the video.
You have no understanding of the output levels and Recovery that they're dealing with but yet you come off as you can train with these guys I love the INTERNET LOL! Just stop now save some humility🤷♂️
Sorry I can’t but it would b funny watching you burn one. Goof balls took a 1 1/2 hr lunch, I thought they left. 5 hrs throwing straps & climbing all ovr the ld. They lded it past the trl , so I had to reld the rear stuff. The other side has small & big crates , crap under the curtain. I wish I had a helper like a bro mon had his 8 month Prego women helping with some lt stuff. . I said I wish I had a helper . He said she won’t be able to much longer. I said yeah but she has a sister right, Lol. 85 & a little muggy my butt was soaked in sweat in 5 min. Azz is dragging b4 I get done , then drive a wild shaking jackhammer. Made it to GA. Sc. Line 74 mpg lded , 75 mt. Yeah let’s go to Houston, 8-900 mi wed. 475.00 late fee if I can’t make 5-2 09.00. Even tho I was delayed 6 1/2 hrs.
Level of effort is the entire point of this. Every human body can do an activity at an elevated heart rate for a specific time period. For someone overweight and in terrible shape, 30mins of walking might average 150bpm. Now a guy like Jmart or Johnny O can run a 10k in those 30mins and hold a 165bpm heart rate. Length of training is the same but output is wildly different.
There have been a few “journalists” or magazine types that have tried to run along with the Aldon or Star program for a few days. None of them left those programs saying it wasn’t that impressive. Does anyone here honestly believe they could keep up with the minutes of riding and training RJ Hampshire puts in week after week? Nicoletti has talked a bunch about being left for dead on some of those Johnny O bike rides. You might be able to ride a bike for as long as those guys were doing, but not the same pace and difficulty
There is no way in hell I could train with these guys. Not even close. But I’ve never said that. Not once have I said that. 🤷♂️🤷♂️
At very low intensity I could do the above schedual right now. Very low intensity. But after 2 years that intensity would be significantly higher.
-But not once have I said they aren’t fit.
-Not once have I said What they do isn’t hard.
-Not once have I said I could do what they do
All I’ve said is they don’t put in a lot of hours.
Am I wrong???
“kind of seems easy really”
Your initial "80 hours" reply showed how ignorant you are of what goes into a proper training program (for most any professional athlete of any sport really) and how difficult it can be. You came off like these riders don't do much, punctuating it with the "I know a guy..." bullshit.
Then you said it seems easy...
Then you said you could do a 24 hour schedule off the couch...
Then follow up with "obviously" it would be mild...
...Ok, no low intensity... very low intensity...
Keep walking it back. As if "very low intensity" has anything to do with this. Might as well have said nothing because anyone can put in the smallest amount of effort spread over a long period of time, accomplishing next to nothing.
Johnny O is a bad dude and I had heard that J-Mart is too.
It would be cool to see numbers from Jeff Ward.
This video and thread inspired me to do a self evaluation after my mountain bike ride this evening.
This is my third time running since ACL reconstruction two years ago.
Hopefully you guys don't blast me for posting this. I'm not the "back in my day" guy and never made it to the A class before age 30.
Personal best one mile was at 3000ft elevation and 110°F on gravel in Afghanistan at age 31. 5:09
Personal best 1/2 marathon (that I recorded) was a couple days before my 40th birthday. 1:24:10
I'm age 43 now.
In this thread: professional athletes vs profeshenal athletes
Training at 90bpm doesn't count.
