Its acualy what is hanging on my bathroom mirror for motivation every morning. Not even sure who this guy is. /> As a married man I'm 100% comfortable in saying that is one good looking guy and someone who I'd like to resemble (if even remotely) if I could ever get rid of the 30lbs that have attached themselves to my @ss. And as a single girl, I would say that that guy is what I would like my future husband to resemble Dang, that's tasty, nice and lean, but nice, defined muscle mass. Yum...and to think I actually dated a guy (also a former triathlete) who looked like that...sigh... really? So all i need to do is shave and gain about 10 lbs and I'd have a wife? seems like a fair trade-off... Ha ha... |

Wow, unless I'm interpreting that wrong, there appears to be a pretty tightly-defined physical template for elite tritahletes-- little variation in height or body mass. Is that right? |

| Extreme Veteran 370 Arnhem | Subject: RE: The "ideal" physique for a triathlete The number in brackets is the Standard Deviation. Approximately 68 percent of values fall within plus or minus one standard deviation of the mean, and 95 percent fall within plus or minus two standard deviations of the mean. But that is accurate for a large population. This is a population of 9 (SD) and 6 (JD), so that doesn't really apply. But gives an idea I got the full article from a friend recently. Here is an online link to the abstract: http://www.springerlink.com/content/f15wnxdp4jk541ln/ unfortunately the article is not available for free. Edited by Simondk 2008-04-19 9:28 AM |

Its acualy what is hanging on my bathroom mirror for motivation every morning. Not even sure who this guy is.  As a male triathlete, I'd totally want to look like that. That's pretty cut up and "built". Questions (honest answers please): 1. Does this guy focus on short distances or longer distances? 2. What could he be doing to keep this physique? Primarily TRI training or also heavy weight lifting? 3. If it's power to weight...what's his food consumption like? I'm setting a few goals for myself to go shorter/faster (Oly's and HIMs) next year, hoping to get more explosive.

Thats a mid-section that 99.9% of women would die for! Its better than Jessie's or any of the others posted above!! I dunno - I'd take the abs of any of those girls. It's much harder for women to get a 6-pack - some of that is probably genetic. Seems as though "ripped abs" on women come in more varieties than do men (most men get the generic 6-pack). I'd be happy with any of the above options I just wish I could see my abs. |

Master 8247 Eugene, Oregon Bronze member | Subject: RE: The "ideal" physique for a triathlete Pant, pant--I wanna chase #544 down in my next race, and then swoon at his feet. Think I'd run a 5-minute PB to catch that! Sure not offering any photos of myself as ideal body type--I look like a white Kenyan. Probably couldn't make much more than three push-ups either. But I can probably swim a lot faster than they do. |
