11:55 AM ET 08.02 | Tony Gwynn has long been one of Southern California's best-loved players. And since he retired from the San Diego Padres five years ago, there's been, well, more of him to love. Before his induction into the Hall of Fame on Sunday, Gwynn publicly signed up to try to shape up, consenting to have his progress documented in the Wheaties "Fit to Win Challenge." Over a 12-week period, Gwynn lost 19 pounds, along with a total of 17.25 inches off his waist, arms and chest. Other statistics released by a spokeswoman for Wheaties: Gwynn reduced his body-fat percentage by 9.8%, increased his bench press from 40 pounds to 200 pounds and went from five push-ups to 25. His flexibility rating went from poor to above average, and his cardiovascular efficiency improved dramatically.

...and all I did was run 3 miles a day, twice a day (in the morning before work and in the afternoon before dinner), every day for 6 weeks, and eat less and a bit healthier...and drank water instead of soda....

They had to have meant he improved it by 40 pounds to 200. There is no way a grown man can't bench press 40 pounds. I mean Tony's fat but nobody's that weak.I bet even Kevin Durant can bench 40 pounds.

Yes the definitely screwed up. The bar itself with no weight weighs 45 pounds.

Of course they meant "by 40 lbs". But all the same, 200 lbs isn't very much. I'd guess a pretty high percentage of grown men can bench 200, at least once.

Not to mention I could bench 40 lbs with my ding ****. But I did mention it. So how can you use "Not to mention" and then say something? I'm going back to bed.
