Michael Phelps Named Fittest Man Of All Time

What do reckon? Who is the fittest man of all time?

Michael Phelps Named Fittest Man Of All Time CBS Baltimore

Men’s Health came to the conclusion that Phelps, arguably the greatest American Olympian of all time, was befit to wear the crown of fittest man of all time based on a number of items – including his five hour workout regimen, and of course the achievements Phelps was able to accomplish with the body he built.

Seems a little odd seeing as he's a sprinter and not endurance which rapey thought would be geared towards 'fitter' athletes...

Thats really hard as some guys train for strength while others train for athletic ability.

Top 3 would be Usain Bolt, Rafael Nadal and John Daly...

Sounds pretty fair...I read somewhere about his training and his diet was fucking unbelievable

It's freaking amazing what he eats!!!

Fittest of all time is a stupid concept and Phelps is highly unlikely to come close.

Fitness is very event specific, throw a marathon runner in a pool and he will drown well before 2 hours. Make a swimmer climb a mountain and he's in for a shock too.

If they really think fittest of all time is worth finding then they need to start with multi discipline athletes. My guess is an ironman tri-athlete may be able to claim the title but he would struggle when you threw him a shovel and asked him to shovel a few tonnes of sand.

What does he eat?

What does he eat?

Holy shit, what a shitty list
I don't even know where to start
Why is Jack Lalane not first? Why is Arnold above him when Jack Challenged him to a workout age like 75 when Arnold was in his prime and puked like 27 times?
The fuck is Daniel Craig even on there?
dean karnaze is so fucking low down despite the fact that he is the best ultramarathoner and ultratriathlete EVER and also entered a powerlifting contest and didn't embarass himself?

Was this made just to rustle my jimmies?
