How strong are you?

I just thought I'd point that out.

 

And again...

I have a strong desire to beat the shit out of a small child. I'm not sure why... maybe because it would be easy.

 

It's like that Louis CK bit about taking his daughter for ice cream when she had a black eye, and people assumed he hit her. "It's like, if I hit her, she wouldn't have a black eye! She would just be decimated! She has no defenses, none!"

I could take 26 five year olds in a fight, according to that site. More than I thought.

33. That's way low.

I guess the thing that separates us from a lot of other people is the ferocity and ruthlessness in which we would fight those little bastards. Because I'd fight with exactly the same vengeance that I would fight someone my own age or older.

Yeah, I like to think I could take more than 26. Their head/neck region tends to be right in my kicking range.

You know those people who are legitimately prepared for a zombie apocalypse and actually pretty bummed out that it probably won't happen? Yeah, that's me. And that's one reason why... zombie children. Fucking fun.

25? I could take on way more kids than that.

Either some people on this board are telling a few little lies or this board is just incredibly strong. Here are the average bench presses for males (this is a one time press):

 

 

Age 20-29 30-39 40-49 50-59 60-69

Lbs 180 158 143 128 116

 

The average bench press for a male between ages 20 and 60 is 145 pounds or 65.7708937 kilograms

 

 

Considering most of you are in the age 20-29 range anything over 190 would be very good. Anything over 200 would put you in the top 15% of people in that age range, and anything over 250 would put you in the top 3% of people aged 20-29.

 

If we're having a semi-serious discussion here, I max out at 235 on the bench.

 

I can grab and pin a hog.

 

I was in a greased pig catching contest in the 1991 Illinois State Fair. That shit is difficult.

 

RE: Running- I can go at a 10+ mph pace for quite some time without getting winded, but my knee problems (combination of being fat from age 7-19 and bad genetics) makes running and leg workouts very unpleasant.

How to win a fight against twenty children.

25 kids. I was ambivalent about how hard and dirty I'd fight against a bunch of five year olds. And I think the questions about weight and balance knocked me down a bit. It doesn't have a difference between Steven Segal fat, John Goodman fat, or Guiness Book of Records fat, it all just says "overweight".

 

I'm oddly inconsistent when it comes to various exercises. Bad on a treadmill, good on a rowing machine. Bad on curling motions, good at pushing weight straight up or out. Like, I can do a dozen reps on an overhead press machine lifting my own body weight with no problem, but trying to curl even 40 or 50 pounds leaves me feelings like I just broke something. Similarly, I've gotten up around 500 pounds on the leg press, but on that machine which I forget the name of where you sit and the bar presses on your shins and you raise it that way, let's just say "way way less than 500 pounds".

That's a leg extension machine. The motion/set-up of it is not meant to allow you to do that much weight on it anyway. I'd say if you can consistently do over 100 on it, you're doing very well.
