Big feet and shoes dont help

A poor diet would give him a pot belly. But, of course, I'm American, so...

so then a poor diet lacking protein and whatever else that helps you grow muscles.

This is a brilliant example of form following function. Big feet for positive pedal placement, skinny legs because who needs more, arms that can whip cables around for hours. Race Car Driver design - totally.

On a driver, saving weight is key. But still, i dont know how those legs can brake the car. At full speed after a straight you need to apply something around 130-150kg of force on the pedal to brake. And if you apply brute force, you lock all four tires. You need to be progressive, which must be tireing lap after lap.

After my 4 day high performance driving course at Sears Point, I was *exhausted*. So I get what you mean. I'd like to suggest (and suggest only) that repeated actions have an energy of their own, until they don't "drain" you like others would experience if they didn't have those built-in mechanisms.

Besides, ever see the build on one of those free solo rock climbers - nothing to marvel one's eyeball. Until they flex and stretch and hold a position at high tension for 10 minutes, seemingly without tiring. I think it's like that.
