You've got core strength? Not like this thug...

Honey, everyone sucks in comparison to that guy and those bendy grrls!!
What I love about running is you can meditate while running. It's a peaceful place.

I'm taking the Bulgarian girl with me to Devils Tower next summer so she can lead all the extra wide stemming pitches between the slickest steepest columns. I think she can reach about 6' 10" apart easily.

Surely that guy would off the couch shred. He should be taken climbing.

Don't get all crazy now. He would probably have horrible footwork, might have terrible finger strength, and he's black, so he's scared to death of heights.... and cold, so he could only climb in summer...

I know you have your finger more closely on the pulse of the urban black psyche than a consumate suburban white guy like myself, so maybe you can offer some insight into why dudes like this, who clearly have incredible fitness only dreamed of by guys like you and me, don't find their way into climbing.
Footwork can be trained (probably in one day in this guys case).
I am serious with this. Maybe climbing would not be his cup of tea, but surely a guy with his attributes would see the parallels of the fitness he has spent so much time training and sport climbing.

The hours of working out to get in this type of shape would have to be reduced in order to climb. His body would quickly deteriorate into a climber's body and in very short order, he'd be looking at the next "playground" video asking the same questions everyone on here is asking. "Why doesn't he climb? With a body like that, he'd be awesome!" A perpetual downward spiral into "Couch Potatodom"!
