How fit was the typical knight?

Usually lords that ate better than peasants. Maybe 150--160 pounds instead of the annorexic dysentrious 135 that was more normal.

where did you read this?

>>1561524
Its an asspull. Its probably accurate, I read that a lot of soldiers die of disease and starvation on marches and they dont eat 3 meals a day with meat back then.

>Lord Paul, I am Knightly Order.

>>1561541
Uh you don't get to bring squires.

Pretty fit, they ate well and did strength training.

>>1561529
Lol, in medieval or ancient times nobody or almost no one died of famine.
Thats actually a more modern thing.

I dont have to look up at anything. What Im saying is, in a regular day of a regular serf, those could experience some days that eat very low but never die of famine.
If in a battle, logistics doesnt work and theres no food/supplies, thats a total other concept.

>>1561503
Depends on the era.

Have you ever worn 11th century knight armor with weapons and a shield?
You have to be in fairly good shape.

>>1561503
well, they were professional warriors who trained since childhood, so i would say about as fit as a professional athlete (minus roids)

>>1561543
You may want this one. He works for the Hooded Bandit...

>>1561503
Pretty fucking ripped brah

>>1561503
Very. Moving around in armor and being able to swing a sword or polearm is quite intensive

Here's video showing what a knight should be capable of, based on a surviving 15th century text. https://youtu.be/q-bnM5SuQkI

You mean the ones who were mostly fit and well, with all of the sick ones left at Harfleur or sent back to England by boat?

I hope you know that weight is separate from his gear. That's not to say those statistics are accurate in any way.

Were knights natty?

They probably had good cardio, but weren't ripped.
