James Goetz Personal Physical Achievements


Listed below are personal records for James Goetz. As with overall performance, certain values will fluctuate when training and competing in a specific sport for a certain event. For instance, the best times James Goetz was able to achieve the 5K does not coincide with the same time period as his top bench press weight. Goetz obviously focused more on distance running during this time than he did with upper body strength and power training.

This is not something unique with only James Goetz, but can be seen even if only looking at a football team. Typically linemen can lift heavier weights than do running backs. However, running backs have better times in the 40- yard dash.

Name:  James Goetz
State: New Jersey
Height 6 ft.
Weight: 180 lbs. (max 225 lbs in 2003)
Body fat: 6% (2015) (New Jersey)
Bench Press: 360 lbs.  (2003) (Florida)
Squat: 410 lbs. (2012) (New Jersey)
Snatch: 225 lbs. (2013) (Conn.)
Clean and Jerk: 315 lbs. (2013 )(Conn.)
1-mile: 4:50 (1997) (New Jersey)
5-K: 17:10 (1997) (New Jersey)
Vertical Leap: 60 inches (1995) (Pennsylvania)
40-yard dash: 4.57 seconds (1998) (New Jersey)

Training for sports can become quite specific. It appears obvious that Goetz was a runner in the 1990’s and gradually became more of a power athlete.

It would make sense Goetz’s bodyweight may also have increased since running, as runners often have a higher metabolic rate than do non-runners.

It will be interesting to see how and if these numbers will once again change as Goetz prepares for the Berkley’s Ultra Marathon. To finish and win this race, James Goetz will have to be in the absolute best shape of his life!
