No. And I can fight pretty good but those guys were trained from birth and life then was way rougher.
Those guys would carve me up

Not with weapons, only fisticuffs.

If old man strength is a real thing - I imagine there is also standing and working on your feet for 12-16 hours a day as a day laborer in ancient times strength.
So my 3-5 hours of exercise a week probably aren’t going to matter.
Now if we get into a biting contest my teeth are in pretty top notch shape for my age.

Maybe with one of the following configurations
A trax
B secutor
C murmillo
D scissors
I would not be good at parrying or anything I would have to be able to take a strike and then take advantage of someone over extending

I doubt it. I took some damage in regular fights I won. Taking some damage in the arena might mean losing a limb, or being crippled in my teens or 20's. No interest from me.

Peak athletic Body? absolutely. Give me any weapon (ok not the net) plus a shield.
Nowadays I think cardio would be my biggest challenge.

I’d take one shot at an achilles tendon or a knee and hope for the best.

Do we get to use today’s weapons? If not, we will all loose.
