Photo Stories: Chris vs Ricardo

Ricardo Lamas hammers a tire with a sledge hammer non-stop for three minutes. He takes a short breather and repeats. He trains six or seven days per week for a total of about 25 hours. While Lamas pounds the tire, Jerry Stewart, a boxing specialist, trains fighter Kenny. "If Superman wasn't Superman, if he didn't have super powers, this is what he'd be doing," says Stewart. "And this is the closest you're going to get to being a superhero. This is it. If you don't have superpowers, you better know how to fight with your hands, fight on the ground, fight with your knees, your elbows, the whole bit. Otherwise, you're looking at getting an ass beating if trouble comes to town."
