Pretty good idea imo. Gov't needs to get more creative in rewarding people who look after themselves...

It's hard to say how much can someone make, athletics is definitely the wrong sport if you're in it for money. A lot of professionals still have full time jobs.

Only problem with running is you can't grind it out each day like you can with poker. You need proper rest/training prior to a race and some recovery time afterwards. Also can't really be in peak racing-shape all year long.

Still a fun sport, though. I raced competitively in high school but lost interest in the sport once I realized my chances of running in the NCAA were slightly out of reach, which would mean I'd have to compete in Canada.

OK, last year it was Stephen Amell's jumping pull-ups that amazed me. Then JJ Watts 60" vertical jump. But this, to me, is beyond both of those. How impressive is this?

I get fit every day by picking up my beer and stretching my legs going to the toilet... does this count?

Great thread and when I am going to start properly will post routine and goals etc

Hard to feel too sorry for him as he did it to himself but I know what u mean. His mate ends up dead, u'd think he'd learn

Big fan of Calisthenics here. I do pullups like 5 days a week now.
