God, I am 34 and feel like an old man, supposedly this guy is in amazing shape. All I can think about is that stupid asshat selling the juice machines, turn your carrots and apples in to health!

I would put my money on this guy outlasting 99% of the people on these forums... probably more (me included). D3 football is no joke, I played rugby for 10 years, in college we always drooled about getting a legit D3 starting tackle for prop position. I played D3 football for one week, could not hack it. Of course I went to the US Coast Guard Academy... hardest school in the country to get in to at the time, our football team was pretty damn stacked.

stacked and probably lost to most schools that have no requirements on weight like a military school.

Yes that was our one weakness, we could not have a 325 pound fat ass as left guard... Had to keep under 15% body fat or get kicked out of school (15% might sound like a lot, but trust me it isn't... some guys who got kicked out for weight issues were not fat, just not muscular enough and had a bigger frame). They did make exceptions for football season, had a special waiver for 6 months of the year that the coach could pick some players exempt from electric water fat testing (yes that is how intense military academies get, they do electric current testing to see how quickly the pulse travels through your body to figure out fat density). And this was 15 years ago who knows what they are doing nowadays....
