Without any training beyond what you have right now? Just getting out of the recliner and competing.

If you select weightlifting, would be the top weight class. Same for boxing.

Edited to try and clarify that I wasn't saying that I would win in anything... just pointing out that if someone said those sports, you'd get the toughest of them.

Here’s your weekly “I’m not quite a man” thread.

Nobody is beating Olympic athletes off the sofa, king.

Unless you want to be molested by your coaches and be put on growth stunning hormones, not likely.

I just have to hope the gold medalist runs out of amphetamine

Idk about me personally, but I heard a bunch of our 15 year old sons could beat the USWNT.

I can’t stand Rapinoe but that was basically a pro soccer farm team.

The correct answer is almost always going to be “none”.

Would get most of us killed; it’s a whole different skill set from regular powerlifting.

It was the Under 15 academy team from FC Dallas.

I looked through all the individual women's sports and there isn't one I could even be competitive in. Even the women weightlifters are a decent bit stronger than me.

However, I'm confident that if you put me on the handball, rugby, or basketball teams I would wreak havoc. So I guess what I'm saying if you put me on the silver medal team I could take us to gold because the upgrade in size and power from their worst starter to me would make a significant difference.

I'd even come off the bench and be the enforcer.
