which athletes are in the best shape?

[EQ.]

When these discussions come up I just laugh.

Basketball? Football? Baseball? Boxing?

While all in great shape we are talking about all around athleticism. No one has brought up Bryan Clay

SPARQ is an acronym for Speed, Power, Agility, Reaction and Quickness.

There are performance guides which give the details for each rating so you can see how you rank and can quickly identify your relative strengths and weaknesses. An average rating typically falls between 45 and 55. An elite rating typically exceeds 85 or 90.

Bryan Clay (US Decathlete) - reported in the SPARQ Magazine from the Summer of 2008, he achieved a Football rating of 130.40, close to the high-scoring 132.00 recorded at the 2008 Nike Combines, where more than 10,000 athletes were tested. He performed all tests, and his other ratings were: SOCCER 96.50, BASEBALL 102.00, BASKETBALL 90.00 and ATHLETIC ASSESSMENT 145.00.

He ran a 4.38 40.

Benches 355 LBS

Clay has a vertical leap of 43.5 inches, one of the highest no step vertical jumps in NBA/NFL Combine history.

I really don't understand why people gauge athleticism by the shyttiest compound lift (bench) It's the least applicable to any situation in the real world or in athletics.

We talking about greatest athletes and no mentions of Decathletes?

I threw that in my post for good measure.

Show me an athlete who scores well in all sports better than Bryan Clay.

Oh i see. But still, take the NFL combine for example. Now these cats should know better than to be emphasizing the bench like that. If anything it should be the clean. The clean demonstrates the ability to explode out of the ready position with power and speed. The bench, well, okay the nikka can push shyt, so what.

are you a fan of Harry AA? this individual is quite beastly as well at least from a lifting standpoint

I'm saying man. He doesn't look impressive. But we talking about bench press 355 pounds, squat 600 pounds, power clean 335, running a 4.38 40 yard dash, 44 inch vertical, SCORING THE BEST SPARQ RATING EVER RECORDED(THE SAME RATING FOOTBALL PLAYERS USE AT THE COMBINE) and being an Olympic Gold/Silver winning Decathlete.

Show me someone more impressive. I don't think there is anyone out there.
