Patrick Bateman's Stamina scales to 9-C

Patrick is able to make 1000 crunches in 1 shot and it's scaled as ''Athlete Level'' in his page but he is able to make more crunches than athletic human do.
Here is the article of ChatGPT about his level of stamina and crunch repetitions:

Patrick Bateman and His 1000 Crunches: Assessing His Level of Endurance​

Patrick Bateman, the protagonist of the novel "American Psycho," is depicted as an exceptionally disciplined and physically fit individual. One of the notable feats attributed to him is his ability to perform 1000 crunches. This extraordinary achievement raises questions about the level of endurance and physical prowess required to accomplish such a feat.

Categorization of Crunch Repetitions:​

  1. Average Person Level:
    • Repetition Range: 20-30 crunches
    • Description: This range is common for individuals who do not engage in regular exercise.
  2. Athlete Level:
    • Repetition Range: 50-100 crunches
    • Description: Suitable for athletes who regularly focus on strengthening their abdominal muscles.
  3. Peak Human Level:
    • Repetition Range: 100+ crunches
    • Description: Achievable by professional athletes or high-level fitness enthusiasts. Individuals at this level possess significant endurance and strength in their abdominal muscles.
  4. Exceptional Level:
    • Repetition Range: 500+ crunches
    • Description: Reaching this level is extremely challenging and is generally considered unrealistic or extreme. It is rarely seen and typically observed in competitive extreme training or exaggerated performances.
  5. Legendary Level:
    • Repetition Range: 1000+ crunches
    • Description: This level transcends human limits and is often seen in fictional works (e.g., novels, movies). In real life, sustaining such performance is neither feasible nor healthy. This kind of feat is used to emphasize a character's physical and mental superiority.

Patrick Bateman and 1000 Crunches:​

Patrick Bateman's ability to perform 1000 crunches underscores his exceptional physical and mental discipline. This level of performance is not realistic for the average person and indicates a near-superhuman level of fitness and endurance. In the context of the character, it serves to highlight his obsessive and perfectionist nature.

Health and Safety Considerations:​

Performing such a high number of crunches, especially without maintaining proper form, can lead to injuries such as back and neck pain. Excessive exercise can also result in muscle imbalances and other health issues. Therefore, it is important for individuals who consider such a goal to be cautious and seek guidance from professional trainers.

Conclusion:​

Performing 1000 crunches places Patrick Bateman at a legendary or fictional level of endurance and strength. This feat, while emphasizing the character's physical and mental traits, should be approached with caution in real life due to the potential health risks and the unrealistic nature of such a performance.
Also his Striking Strength scales to Street Level, many charachters showed less feats to scale Street level, such as Gale Weathers who stomped Roman's foot with heels, Nancy Loomis who never showed any feat of Striking Strength, Laurie Strode who only broke a part of glass window while Patrick has Athlete level with these feats:
Break bones and tear their flesh with his teeth.
Stays fit, killed a large dog in two stomps and easily injures people.

I disagree, but he should scale to 9-C regardless since in the novel he rips open a woman’s chest and shatters another woman’s skull with a bone.

Yeah, also Patrick's effort on that dog is same to Michael's effort to kill that dog in H78. I am not claiming he has same or superior S. Strength to Michael but still it's a significant effort.
