    Cases like this are interesting, but likely a genetic fluke. It’s not like anyone can do what he does and get the same result.

    I had a great uncle that split 94 fence posts on his 94th birthday, because his kids mentioned it might be time to leave the farm and go to a retirement home.

    Dude smoked a pack a day and drank a fifth of whiskey.

    He just won the generic lottery and was a picture of good health till he died one night in his sleep.

    I’m not going to start smoking a pack a day and drinking a fifth if whiskey because I think it’ll keep me healthy tho.

    40 minutes on a rowing machine would help most people, but virtually no one will see these results.

      If that’s all it takes then I’m as healthy as a person can be.

      Nonsense comparison really. That’s scientifically nothing like rowing.
