Wayne_Cowdrey | Ever wish you were average strength? | 02-10-2011 @ 03:18 | |
Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22018 posts | Sounds weird, but occasionally I do feel like that. It can get tedious being seen as the strong guy all the time, and it's a massive contrast to my character. But, I feel that I need to be strong, because I feel like a protector to the people I'm close to. Plus, I enjoy being involved in strongman. | ||

Member 2793, 523 posts SQ 245, BP 175, DL 302.5722.5 kgs @ 84kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 02.10.2011 @ 08:29 AM by Dan_Evans What I'd like, is for people to realise that there is more to me than my strength, and my interests in nutrition and biology.One guy said "I bet he couldn't talk about anything else". Not being funny, but when i do talk about training and nutrition, it is because someone else has brought it up. Incidentally, all this guy talks about is football. Prick. | ||

SQ 225, BP 150, DL 270 89.7kgs Seriously?! Do you have small groups of friends or what? I'm not putting either of you down, you have some decent numbers, but it's not exactly like you're hulking behemoths that accidentally destroy everything they touch is it? How is it that guys under 100kg in weight with reasonable domestic ability are perceived as being notable for their strength?! In answer to the original post, an unequivocal no. | ||

Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22018 posts | Ha ha!! I knew everyone would be saying "no" and finding it a weird concept! Dan_Evans said: What I'd like, is for people to realise that there is more to me than my strength That's partly what I meant. I think part of it comes from my job. 9 years of dealing with some extremely violent teenagers and young adults. My colleagues regularly say they feel safe when I'm on shift, and I feel a certain level of expectation/pressure from that. | ||

How is it that guys under 100kg in weight with reasonable domestic ability are perceived as being notable for their strength?! I think all my friends would say I'm the strongest person they know. It's not a large group though. I tend to form close bonds with a select few. | ||

tr Member 2658, 458 posts SQ 150, BP 140, DL 200490.0 kgs @ 117kgs UnEq | average strength most probably comes with the bodily attributes of; skinny beanpole skinnyfat (alcoholic) just plain fat so i doubt that the guys above who commented look like this | ||

However I'm questioning the perception of other people where that level of strength is remarkable? Using myself as an example, I'm a fair bit bigger and stronger than Wayne and Dan, but I think most people probably just see a slightly fat guy and don't pay it a second thought. Even those who know me and what I do for a living nad a hobby don't really have an idea of what strong is I wouldn't say. How many non trainers know if 100kg is a good 'lift'? Without even conceptualising whether its a deadlift or a curl... | ||

the UK's leading expert in bio mechanics Member 1973, 7379 posts | My point being that I would expect RIDICULOUS levels of obvious size and strength to be classed as 'the strong one' | ||
