Wim Hof 'The Iceman'

Few facts of amazing Wim Hof 'The Iceman' -

- he climbed past the “death zone” altitude on Mount Everest (~7,500 meters) wearing nothing but shorts.
- he completed a full marathon above the polar circle in Finland, in temperatures close to −20 °C (−4 °F). Dressed in nothing but shorts
- he holds World Record for the longest ice bath, now set at 1 hour 53 minutes and 12 seconds.
- he ran a full marathon in the Namibia Desert without water.
- he was injected with toxins under doctor supervision and demonstrated that he could effectively control his autonomic immune response.

Now, like most I thought he is a "freak of nature" and one of a kind whose feats cannot be replicated.... but guess what...
he was able to train others to achieve the same effect...with only 4 days of training!
