In abbotabad, at shimla pahari, i challenged an afghan man in 40s to climbing race to reach the top......he was lean like most of afghans with beard....we started and to my shock he was literally running up on the hill and soon disappeared from my sight.....when i finally climbed up and reached the top, he was already sitting , gazing at abbotabad city......i asked him what he do for living, how he is so fit with so much stamina......he said he sells corn, and is from nangarhar.....
I have khostwal afghans in my area and they have amazing staminas, i never won wrestling or panja from them even though i have very thick wrists. Now in qatar, i was able to beat all of my punjabi , kashmiri and mohajir class fellows in panja due to my thick wrist.....they had more fat on their bodies while we pashtuns/afghans have thick bones with strong and hardy muscles.
