61 cat 4 at 2.37 pounds per inch. Hell, this is our forum, we can make it anything we want. Let's use yours. As I posted those statistics, I was thinking about health and weight. I find many pro athletes, when in peak condition for their sport, are statistically unhealthy. Certainly, NFL linemen at 300 plus are way out of the norm. I thought about which sport requires the athlete to be in top physical shape and may also be very healthy. As painful as this is to say, I think it is the decathlete. One needs speed, upper and lower body strength and endurance plus great coordination to do all ten events well.
