Takeru_kobayashi_ab2005.jpgkobayashi_six_pack_2006.JPGLook at that six pack! Those are some killer abs. This is Takeru Kobayashi, the world champion of the Nathan’s International Hot Dog eating contest. On July 4, Takeru took home his 6th straight win, but not without a tough fight. For the first time, an American eater by the name of Joey Chestnut actually came close to beating Tarkeru by scarfing down 52 hot dogs in 12 minutes, just short of Takeru’s 53 3/4 hot dogs. You can tell Takeru Kobayashi is a serious athelete, he trains all year round for eating contests and has a rigorous training program to increase his metabolism.

Wow you can still see the man’s six pack after devouring all those hot dogs!
