Eye Of The Tiger-Survivor

be Like Michael Phelps?
Phelps is an American swimmer and a solid 14 time Olympic Gold Medalist;currently holds with pride,7 world records.He got 6 Gold and 2 Bronze at the last Athens Olympics,and only recently at Beijing he got 8 Gold for himself and his country.
with his winning spirit and anthropometrics advantage,he is super fast in the pool.

this is what i've found out;

-At 6’ 4” Phelps has the length in the pool he needs
-An arm span of 6’ 7” gives him incredible pulling power in the water
-He has the torso of a 6’ 8” man that aids his reach
-Phelps’ torso is hydrodynamic (low drag) being long and thin and triangular shaped
-He has the legs of a 6’ tall man giving him a stouter kick, power in the turn and a hydrodynamic lower half
-Phelps’ hands are huge and can grab a lot of water
-His feet are even larger (size 14) and act as a flipper
-Plus Michael Phelps is double jointed which lets him whip his arms, legs and feet through a greater range of motion than most.
Be Inspired!
