Is that supposed to be impressive? What former male athlete under 50 can't bench 200+ and run a sub 7 min mile? You've gotta be kidding me, I didn't even play sports in college (high school baseball/track) and could easily bench 225 10 times and still run a 6:30 mile at over age 30+. I probably even weigh less than W (170 lbs). That's laughable and I'm guessing he was quoting those stats from his past prior to age 50.Originally posted by: winnar111

Haha, where do you people come up with this rubbish? No way in hell he can do a 7 minute mile. He doesn't even run, for one thing, he stopped it years ago to do mtn biking. And no way he's benching 200 lbs, unless we're going to say I can bench 500 and run a 4:30.
It was in a fitness magazine during his first term. Whether he can still do it now, I'm not sure, but he ran a marathon as Governor.
He's a bigger guy than Obama is.
Actually, the article was written in his first term, in his late 50s...and he ran a marathon as Governor when he was over 50.
It's in the top 1% of adult males in his age category. Whether you consider it to be impressive or not is up to you.
