I have a big question about Putin, it is said that he was a KGB agent and practiced judo. but I happened to see a video of how Putin trained in the gym and demonstratively hit a punching bag, I myself have been training all my life and I have friends who also do it, we watched these videos together, we came to the conclusion that Putin's punches are weak and his body posture is very weak and untrained if you compare him to Zelensky who is not some kind of kgb agent, just a normal simple actor, then it can be seen from the posture of his body that he is better trained than putin. You can see from the posture of Putin's body that he has never done anything, people who have trained all their lives understand, and Putin does not even know how to punch a punching bag. The question arises, is the Russian kgb so weak?
Are there any real correct evidence even about that putin have strong physucal fitness background?
Then why he look like he never done any training and how the hell he cant punch the boxing bag like men ?

Sounds like someone who dislikes him but that's cool, not everyone get to like Putin but some others do and this is base on personal reasons. Cause I wonder how you be expecting a 70+ year old man to be able to go hard with his fist on a punching bag, and how you compare him with Ukraine's president one may think they are of same age rank but I think zelensky is a very young fine man.

More over, does Putin really need those physiques? I doubt since he's more concentrated on winning the conflict before him.

I believe it is a rather silly thing to compare yourself, your friend and even Zelensky to Putin, who is not only in his early seventies, but also has obviously neglected the training he used to have in this days as an KGB agent, so he can be an effective president for the Russian Federation.
This remains me a post I saw some days ago which took note on how big the letters of one of Putin's papers were, suggesting his sight has severely deteriorated, perhaps he does not to wear glasses at all, so it won't be seen as a signal of weakness.
Someone in his position and with his kind of government is not allowed to show weakness, it reminds the a bit to Mussolini.

Anyways, mentally and physically Putin is fit to direct a country, even if he was not the Kremlin and the other people around Putin would not dare to remove him from power.

Putin is 71 years old, how old are you and your friends? What do you expect from a man over 70? Meanwhile, Zelenskyy is only 46 years old, do you find it lame to compare the physical strength of a 70-year-old with a 46-year-old? Not to mention, he is a president with thousands of tasks to deal with every day and I guess presidents don't even have time to rest, unlike us who have a lot of free time to have fun and exercise. The fact that he still maintains his figure and demeanor at the age of 70 proves that he was a healthy man in his youth.



And IMO he does not look like a 71 year old at all. That is obviously down to his
training and his fitness.

He was indeed a KGB agent back in the day, a lot of water has passed under the
bridge since then and obviously there are aspects of that KGB training which he didnt
have to upkeep but as OgNasty has said he is undoubtedly still a dangerous man...
for a 71 year old.

I hope I am as fit as he seems to be when I'm that age!

Dude, do you really compare Putin and Zelensky? Do you know age difference between them? 71 and 46, it's like father and son.
Putin isn't professional athlete, you shouldn't expect that he can do things as someone who is doing it as their main job. These things were used to make his alpha male image. BTW, in recent years we don't see such things like punching bag, swimming in ice cold water or riding horse from Putin, what probably indicates that his physical condition isn't such good anymore and age affects him.

If Putin were a lazy and unintelligent person, could he have become the president of Russia and received the support of the Russian people for the past 25 years?
There is few things that you can't choose in your life - parents, gender and Russian president. I just remind that he is dictator, people in elections don't have other options to vote, so, nothing surprising that he is getting "support" for so long.

Whatever Putin was in the past, I believe he is a Christian, now.

All people get old and die. At least the evidence of such is great. When Putin goes on his way to the next life, whoever takes over will not be as peaceful as he is.

If Medvedev had been in power all this while, the world would already be in nuclear winter. Pray that Putin stays physically and mentally fit for a long time yet.

Cool

Once a man, twice a child!
we came to the conclusion that Putin's punches are weak and his body posture is very weak and untrained if you compare him to Zelensky who is not some kind of kgb agent, just a normal simple actor, then it can be seen from the posture of his body that he is better trained than putin. You can see from the posture of Putin's body that he has never done anything, people who have trained all their lives understand, and Putin does not even know how to punch a punching bag. The question arises, is the Russian kgb so weak?
Until you do a comparative analysis of their ages, you shouldn't be comparing people on what isn't worth it. Come to think of it, it's smartness and intellectual capabilities that are required for the number one job as president and not some gym ability. From all indications, Putin is agile and fit and that should be enough. The other dude - Zelensky - is a younger person to start with. Again, age does everyone dirty. So, it's not right to talk down on old people. One day, we all will get old if we don't die young.

You can see this reflected in how he walks with only one arm swinging so that he is ready to pull a gun and defend himself at any given instant.
I've watched him with fascination on that on several occasions. There was a documentary I watched of KGB agents and their walking postures. It was there I realized Putin must've picked it from that training as an agent. How do they who were (are) trained by KGB do that and perfectly well too? I only asked rhetorically, though.

I think it is pretty obvious just from looking at Putin that he is physically fit. I also don’t think there any question that he was an agent in his past and is probably a very dangerous man. You can see this reflected in how he walks with only one arm swinging so that he is ready to pull a gun and defend himself at any given instant.

One thing I've noticed from president Putin is his readiness to defend himself. Putin always seems to be on red alert and on guard to any attack which can happen to him. Putin seems to be fit and is said to love dogs especially when they are aggressive ones. I've also seen cases when he was in his private jet travelling with other flight convoy with him, yet he doesn't sleep but tries to monitor his movements on air at all times possible. It was observed Putin wakes up late and eats eggs and porridge as breakfast, he also does swimming, martial arts and morning workouts.

I doubt that OP has reached president Putin's age, perhaps he wouldn't be judging the strength and accuracy of over 70 years old man. I've not seen the video of Putin's workout but I guess that he's just taking it easy just for exercise sake, not that he was trying to impress anybody with his moves. I don't think that Vladimir Putin, was a lazy, sloppy and unintelligent man during his youthful age, he probably was everything that he was known for, perhaps much more. Zelenski, is much younger and obviously physically stronger than Putin, but it doesn't count much when there's a war, intelligence and the sophistication of your weapons is what counts.

I guess OP never asked the question: can we live to 70 and what will we be like then? I don't think I'd be able to walk if I lived to that age, LOL.

If Putin were a lazy and unintelligent person, could he have become the president of Russia and received the support of the Russian people for the past 25 years? He is clearly more perfect than we think and it would be shortsighted of us to judge others based on just a few videos and compare them to someone who is almost 20 years younger than them.

I don't know if OP has any political motives here but his downplaying of Putin makes me doubt it.

Compare rates on different exchanges & swap.
What counts in battle field is how much punch you accurately hit your opponent not how strong they are with no hit.
Notwithstanding, the one who deserves victory win a fight regardless of strength. Sometimes it seems the leaders forget this truth and think threats of nuclear armageddon gave them victory
