The other day my 6 year old asked me, "Who is the strongest man in the world?". I don't know if he is really the strongest man in the world, but Greg Amundson from CrossFit Santa Cruz popped into my head right away as someone with awesome functional strength to show him. I showed him a picture of Greg and he said, "Oh ya. That guy looks strong."

As far as functional strength goes, Greg is pretty damn strong.

"The ability to explosively and powerfully open the hip joint is necessary and nearly sufficient for elite atheticism. 'Necessary' in the sense that we know of no elite athletes who lack this ability. 'Nearly sufficient' in the sense that anyone who develops this capacity will then quickly learn to run, jump, throw, punch, kick, & sprint like a demon."--Greg Glassman
