How strong are you?

I was just talking about this with some of my friends, and I am just curious to know how strong the members of AF are.

i.e. how much you bench, squat, pullups, run the mile in, etc.

BTW- I bench 180 and do 20 pullups. I run the mile in a mind blowing 8 minutes...lol

NFI about your yankee weights.
I leg press 400kg
I bench around 150kg max

BTW, it's often not the weight you can do but how well you do it and how long you hold each rep that will determine the speed and quality of your results.

I can curl a pint and a cigarette with lots and lots of reps, and I can hold each rep for quite some time.

I can do about 60 pushups, but I can bench only 120 LBS. I'm pretty light (140 LBS)

Bench: 105 lb (48 kg) max
Squat: 145 lb (66 kg)
Pullups: 3
Mile: 9 something

Yeah, I'm weak sauce. :( I should give my balls to someone who will make better use of them. :headshake

A man walks into a bar and says "ok, whos the strongest man here?". A body builder type man stands up and says "ME", the man says"..ok, can you help me push my truck out of a ditch???"

I dunno been a while since I touched weights although I am stronger than I ever was I have really weak arms I mean I could break someones fist with my hand except I have really weak and girly arms haha. But if I were to guess how much I could bench it would be in the area of 110-120 which for my size is really really sad 6'3" 240, but I do have somewhat strong legs I could probably lift 400lbs or so. :(

AK - 108kg! You weigh HEAPS, even for your height. If it ain't muscle, what is it? I mean seriously, that puts your BMI at 30 which is obese! Dude - that is seriously bad for your heart/liver/kidneys etc.
:eek:

For the record, I'm roughly (varies 1-3kg depending on food eaten recently and workouts) 75 or 76 kgs (165ish lbs) and a bees dick short of 5'11".

LOL
I am only sixteen and play AAA hockey, I have hockey 5 or so times a week and if not on the ice I have intense dry-land training.
Push-ups= 100 w/ left arm under 60 seconds, then switch arms and another 100 w/ my right arm in under 60 seconds.
----> If trying real hard I can do about 120-170 full 2 armed push ups but in a steady pace.

Pull-ups= 70-110 depends on carbs, intake that day.

---->I guess thats not too bad for someone that just turned 16 3 weeks ago, weighs in at a whoping 134kg, and is about 5'9" or 5'10" ish!!!

Most of my chest is muscle my legs are somewhat defined I mean it's not all fat nor is it muscle but the only thing that is hurting me is my gut I've got a big gut. But yeah I do know all the major shit that does come along with this I mean earlier in the summer I weighed somewhat more than I do now since I cut back on eating carbs and fatty shit and yes unfortunately most all alcohol (dats what the cheeba is fo'). I've lost close to 15-or so lbs in a little over a month, and come winter when I start my new shift at my job it'll give me time to work out so I can get rid of the remainder of my gut.

FUCK ME DEAD. 5'10" at 135 kgs is like a BMI of 43! Healthy is 25! What the hell. You people are crazy.

I am 14, 183 cms (about 6 foot) and weigh 70kg.

I can bench press about 50kg (including bar), but last time I tried only did it 7 times.
I usually do 27kg on a standing curl.
And last time we did the test at school, I could run 1.8 kms in 8 minutes.

6'1", and i weight 138 pounds. oh yeah, nuttin but skin 'n bones here :)

...and the last two are way underweight. This is rediculous.

...and the last two are way underweight. This is rediculous.

Well, actually I weigh more than most of my friends (except the fat ones :evillol: )

Have to keep in mind that I am only in yr 9...

I can't gain weight man. Bulk is not in my genes. I hope theres girls out there that like us skinny guys. Heck, my ribs poke through no problem. But! less drag on my car, and i'm more aerodynamic on me bike!

in my football days when i lifted religiously....
max Lifts
Bench Press 200 lbs
Squat 375 lbs
Leg Press 435 lbs
Arm Curl 95 lbs
Shoulder Shrug 150 lbs
Toe Raises 105 lbs
Push ups 90
10 yard sprint time 6.45 seconds
jumping over a tackling dummy 35 times in 60 seconds


...damn i need to start working out again this freshman 15 is too much for me......

Back when I was playing Football, Rugby, and a Gym Rat:

Bench: 190-200lbs
Squat: 410lbs
Leg Press: 450lbs
All 3 sets of 10

Pull-ups: 4-5
40 in 5.5
6'2" 255lbs.

Now those numbers are all down and the weight is up I'm sure. :banghead:

bench over 250lbs

I’m still 6’1” but down to 250 pounds. Though I’ve been back in the gym for a month now, I am nowhere near back to the strength I used to have because of a three year period I stopped going to the gym. I can still push 315 on the bench a few times, but it doesn’t look all that good. My goal (though delayed by a year) is to get back to weighing 215 while doing sets at 350 again. It’ll probably take the bulk of the winter, but it is fun.

Teh tangie is 5'9"/10" and about 150lbs. :o I can do absolutely nothing. I tried to help my brother last night lifting a bench bar with 90lbs on it.... WITH HIS HELP, I couldn't lift it higher than my stomach. :o I have fairly strong legs during skating season (which just started), but I don't leg-press, so I can't say how much I could actually do.

My upper body isn't as strong as my lower. I can leg press 200kg. :D

Oz... The BMI is a fairly inexact guide and you really need to do the caliper/skin fold test or some other more exact method to do body fat proportions to be make nothing more than a guess.

Depending on the physique of a person the BMI can be misleading... A BMI of 19 with a ethnic ectomorphic physique could be quite normal eg the very lean body shapes of East African middle distance runners but for someone with a Eastern European mesomorphic profile this would be very drastically underweight.

I'm just over 5'11'' and in the past two years I've had a mass as high as 90 kgs down to the a very stripped down version at 71kgs - and I'm currently at 76kgs.

And I can tell you at 90 kgs I probably had a very similar body fat proportion (maybe even less) as when I was down to 71kgs - as I modified my physique for the particular physical loadings I was putting my body through at the time... I probably was at the peak of my aerobic fitness at 90 kgs as well.

I was probably in my worse shape ever about 18 months ago when I was about 84kgs - when stress, injury and a number of other factors took their toll.

As you get older (and I'm a lot older than a lot of the forumites) it becomes progressively more difficult to dick around with your physical makeup but it can be done with the right level of training, time, diet and mental stamina...

My current target is to maintain a similar mass of 75kgs but work on endurance at the moment as opposed to PB's in strength to suit the demands I'm going to put the body through over summer - particularly with the mixed activity base including martial arts, scuba diving, cycling, squash and hiking.

I'm only 16, 6'2" tall. I can bench 165 lbs 50 pushups, and run a mile in under six minutes. Yeah it may sound weak but thats all I can do.

replica is right. BMI varies depending on body type. I was born muscular and i used to be kinda heavy, but had no fat wutsoever. as of right now i weigh 135lbs, i havnt gained any weight in about a year.


btw- i forgot to include curling....i do 3 sets of 10-12 reps at 40 lbs. i dont leg press a lot of weight or do any squats (both due to basketball injuries), but i do 3 sets of 12-15 at about 230-250 lbs on the leg press.

during the good old days of football:
Bench: 265-270
Squats: 450
Leg Press: something rediculous, cant remember

But keep in mind I was a lineman for a big high school in Georgia, and had to be big. I am 6'2 and weigh about 265 right now, but that is after about a semester of college and lots of drinking.

6'1 235 pounds

Bench: 185 anymore than that I can only do a set until my arm goes out.
Mile: 7 minutes 20 seconds last time I did it
Squat: N/A
Curl: usually do 80 pound curls for 3 sets as a warm up
Pushups: I do 50 a day after warm-up

I’m still 6’1” but down to 250 pounds. Though I’ve been back in the gym for a month now, I am nowhere near back to the strength I used to have because of a three year period I stopped going to the gym.

I been trying to up my strength but i stopped doing bicept curls for a while then i was ill for a while. Now my curls really suck i had to drop 15lbs off each of my weights to try and stimulate the bloody bicepts. It seemed to work a little cuz i bunged the 15lbs back on but i could only do a lousey couple of reps whilst before i was doing 20 of the fuckers. bastards.

ahh im only 15, weigh 123 pounds, and am really short 5'6 1/4 or somethign

thats not that short. my brother is almost 18 and hes the same size as you. i know a guy who is 15 that weighs i think 95 lbs and is about 4'11"-5'

I can't gain weight man. Bulk is not in my genes. I hope theres girls out there that like us skinny guys. Heck, my ribs poke through no problem. But! less drag on my car, and i'm more aerodynamic on me bike!
I feel ya man. I'm the same way(well not soo much anymore). Growing up I was always the skinny one. I weighed like 110 till my junior year of high school. I'm not too tall either; 5'10"/11".

But I can still kick some ass(if i have to) :evillol:

Just did the maths - leg pressing 880lbs and benching a bit over 300lbs for teh Americans. GREAT to see so many dedicated leg pressers :D My favourite machine. My thigh muscles stick a LONG way out from HEAPS of skiing and HEAPS of time on the leg press.

I completely understand that Rep, but as soon as it gets over about 30 it IS bad for your body's support systems. :) No matter if it's fat or muscle making up the bulk. I used to be 87kg lard arse, I am now down to between 73 and 76 and fitter and stronger than ever before.

I can bench my little brother for cussing on the baseball field, and I can squat when I've gotta take a shit.

I can lift the front of my Subaru off of the ground. Does that count for anything?

that depends on what kind of subaru...lol

Actually, if your BMI is high but you're muscular, its not bad on your support systems. When you work out your bones grow thicker along with your muscles, which provides greater support. Working out also strengthens joints. So being overly muscular, although scary, is a good thing.

Im a cyclist, I have small arms, chest etc, but can do ab work til I die, (usually do a varied routine, consists of about 15 different types of sets and is well over 400 crunches all up) and as a cyclist, my legs are the best, Im only just back into it now so my legs are fucking tiny, but I leg press 600kg+ easy.

1300 lbs!!!! Holy Shit! is that the way it is with most cyclists, or are you just a man amongst men?

Yeah - love cycling hard too Slave, but mostly only artificial in teh gym. :D

"macho asshole bullshit"
-george carlin


i can type on a keyboard. press a gas pedal. yeah thats about it. i am going to die.

If you aren't interested, fuck off. Let this be your mantra.

about 2 meters tall (6'5-ish) wiegh 109 Kg- mostly skin, bone and a bit of muscle here and there- as a Soccer player, I can't be TOO muscular as that simply slows me down (In my experience) used to be a fat bastard, but got sick of being like that so I dropped some kgs, feel much better

Teh Jimmy is teh huge! Farkn. :eek:

Subaru 360 eh??? ;)

1300 lbs!!!! Holy Shit! is that the way it is with most cyclists, or are you just a man amongst men?

Nah, all comp cyclists (who road race distance etc) should be able to do that. When I ride full on after a while the pain factor of working out vanishes from my legs, you just worry about lactic acid etc, until big hills and sprints of course. When Im in form I leg press shit loads and my muscles dont care, but get me to bench a water melon and I'll cry, he he. :iceslolan Im a pure climber when I race (I fractured my wrist this yr and it got, as all injuries do, complicated so only just back into training the last bit of this year) so my legs need to be able to be abused and stressed at high levels.

ooo ok. but the damn thats still a lot. well now i know that if i get in a fight with a cyclist and i fall to the ground im pretty much fucked....lol

Subaru 360 eh??? ;)

Yeah, I guess it's not that impressive, it's only like lifting a washing machine http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/images/smilies/smokin.gif

Well, Im about 5' 7", not sure my weight at the moment, though not too heavy, My leg press is about 800lbs(I do a bit of cycling myself, but Gavin you= teh ownage) I squat about 250 when Im not out of shape(as I have been recently) but am hoping to improve upon that. I bench somewhere around 180, but like I said, Im a bit out of shape.

EDIT: I did a 1000lb leg press today! I guess my legs arent as weak as I thought them to be :smokin:

Im 16 6 feet tall 220 lbs and bench 215 can curl 100 but its pointless pullups 10 mile 7:30 and about 50 something pushups in 60 secs. Im slow lol plus I have asthma

i'm searching .... :o)

Bench: 70 Kg (1RM) :grinno:
Abdominal "crunch": 210 :eek7:
Dumbbell Curl (biceps): 3x12 x 14 kg.
Lateral pull down: 3x10 x 70 kg
And I am this countrys champion of Wado Karate, so be afraid. :sunglasse

i can bench my girlfriend when it counts.

And I can do 2 cock pushups

176cm tall = 5'11 i think???
55kg = i dunno lb
im a tiny one. but strong, i can easlily lift 4wd tires and walk to the end of the street with it. can do only 5 chin ups, and 20 push ups. i do some weight lifting to hold my strength in my arms for work ;/

i can bench my girlfriend when it counts.

And I can do 2 cock pushups

LMFAO!!!!!:rofl:

before the summer
Top physical fitness, skin tight shirts all the time, chin ups alteast 40, push ups i think around 50 or so and sit ups around 200. THEN... i lost my job (s) and girlfriend and let it all out. Over the summer i gained 50lbs and have like no muscle anymore and i have stretch marks on my ass. i am a fat bastard. :banghead: (i also smoked mad amounts of :smokin: pot and spent like 60$ everyday on chinese food at 2 in the morning)

Ive just turned 16, am 6'1" and weigh about 150 lbs.

My bench max is about 150
Clean max is 155
Curl max is about 80.

Well my 600kg's is dependant upon which machine you use, the one yesterday I loaded it and was only pushing out 240kg's, so it depends...

6'1", and i weight 138 pounds. oh yeah, nuttin but skin 'n bones here :)

that's nothing, i'm 5' 10" and I weigh about 125 pounds. i have LITERALLY been blow over in the wind (and it wasn't even a strong wind)
