How many muscles would you tear doing Zdeno Chara's workout?

A million strains and at least 9 ACL tears for me.

For the better part of his NHL career, Zdeno Chara has been known as one of the fittest and strongest guys in the league.

His dedication to being in prime shape is one of the things that has allowed him to remain effective into his 40s.

That's 250+ pounds of Slovak power jumping one-legged over a hurdle, which is probably somewhere between 3-4 feet high.

I tore a few muscles just thinking about it...
