Being a pencil necked dork who can run 400m means nothing if you are so pathetic that you cannot lift an ammo can! (never mind run with it) I trained martial arts with people from the US, Western Europe, and Central Europe, and I can tell you there is a big difference. The highest level of fighting fitness I saw was in Central Europe, then in the US, and the Western Europeans were pathetic.
Playing karate has no bearing on phyiscal fitness. I mean I've seen fat people do it in jeans

I am not talking about height. The French people are saw were plenty tall...they just looked like toothpicks...or Jews in a concentration camp. They had no muscle on them at all. That is what I mean by size, and what I mean by fitness is their ability to work hard under trying conditions. I know lots of buffed up kids who work out and run all the time, who cannot do farm work at all, because they would get winded in the first few seconds. The same fitness that enables you to work well enables you to fight well. A hard working population will be a hard fighting population. Do you know how many stupid, body building dorks I know who I can wipe the floor with? Being fit has more to do with the quality of your muscle and the good muscle memory you have than how many pounds you can lift.
LOL, Going into your schools REC every 3rd day to get a chest pump does not a serious lifter make. If that was the case everyone who has ever worn a tap out t-shirt is an MMA fighter.

I also doubt you have ever actually been on a farm considering your idea of farmwork would ring true for an antebellum cotton feild....maybe even then the slaves were usually to tired to fight.

I am begining to think you are trolling. Which is fine because you trolling is better than you being wrong.
