Ross Edgley, the 'fittest' man alive?

[poachers apprentice 134]

I actually know Ross fairly well (same town , trained in same gyms ) he’s pretty much the nicest bloke you’ll ever meet , I will say though if you think that physique and his training is all natural your mistaken blokes a massive roid monster .

I just did,I had a brother in law called paddy Doyle all he exercised was his right arm with pints of lager,lol in all honesty he was a sound bloke and would help anyone he could,he passed away a few years ago and it’s just not the same anymore,wf

I know what you mean mate, I looked after my mate until he passed 18 months ago with liver cirrhosis and cancer, he'd been a carer to his mother up until three year before he went, he was always doing something for somebody else

Never heard of the chap but looks a strong healthy specimen so good luck to him....personally i dont understand this era of Youtube fame to me physical training thats not competitive sport orientated is just a basic lifestyle choice....yes push your body to the limit as part of self achievement thats great but " putting it out there " for Youtube likes just seems a little bit silly to me but it might just be a generational thing....each to their own though and if it keeps him motivated to train then great.

I can see that social media is strange world for those raised in one without it, so I get that. But that's not really what I'm interested in here, social media has simply exposed all these folks to the rest of the world. Good and bad.

I've sort of said what I find noteworthy about him, if you've read the posts before the nonsense. He just strikes me as being a bit of an anomaly. I guess I quite strongly relate to what I think is personal and intellectual curiosity. A significant part of his drive coming from asking questions of himself, rather than simply 'winning' or being 'the most extreme'. If that makes sense?

Someone mentioned steroids. Fair enough, but it's just neither here nor there for me on this and is sort of reflective of the general shallow sentiment that all it is is 'gay muscles'. Put more blunty, the c**t swam constantly for 48hrs! That'd be an impressive show of mental fortitude for someone who looks like one of them aliens you see goggled up at the olympics.... he's a hulk and he's doing this stuff.

Yeah, but if he's taking steroids, and probably a few other peds, and I'm not saying he is/does, I obviously don't know, then his achievements are false.

If thats the case mate the vast majority of sporting achivements over the last 40 odd yrs are false

Yeah, more than likely

[stumfelter 3,032]

I'd never heard of him but since seeing his photo I realise he's the bloke who spilled my pint in the pub, I dragged him outside and gave him a good hiding....

Why are his achievements false ?.....are his achievements also false because he,s wearing lycra shorts and not the old cotton speedos from 40 years ago ?....he,s a human being using technology to better performance just like everybody else does in sport and life in general.........its only false if he competes in a sport that forbids it......and he doesnt.

I'm saying they are false, because without using steroids, peds or whatever, he wouldn't have been able to complete those 'achievements'.

The clothing analogy isn't even an issue

I don’t no mate you should see me go when I put me Lycra on, it’s a revaluation how a little round bloke can cut through the air

I totally get that....for me sport was always about competing but i know thats not for everyone....with the right attitude personal achievement and a yearning for progress can make yourself the toughest opponent you will ever face.....good luck to the lad i admire that type of commitment.

But no i still dont get the whole social media thing it seems like a movement based on telling the world how special you believe you are...but its ok im just old fashioned

Why is it not an issue.....it enhances performance no ?

Any and every innovation in sport is a performance enhancer.
