I trained my triceps for a few months to be able to do pull/push-ups. Before that I could do maybe 5 pullups and 10 push-ups tops. So yeah, while little weight certainly helps, you need mucles too. | ||

I lost that weight whiteout doing any sport, if anything i lost muscle. Your weight is probably more important than working out for being "above" average. Reminds me of a Friend which was about the same size as me but thin as hell.. He could do like 30 push ups while i barely managed 1... But he could barely lift me for more than 5 seconds while i could carry him all day long (and throw him around, and... all the fun stuff kids can do to other kids :D). Push ups are no good measurement for comparing your strenght to that of others. Not at all. | ||

Well, he is gifted with height. I'm not I'm Asian too, so that might have something to do with it. Forget Yao Ming. He's a freak of nature. lol | ||

Also, 27 push-ups with perfect form in one minute is pretty sick. I know most guys I know can't do that, lol. | ||

I can do at least 15 pullups and about 60 pushups All those stats seem to be pretty pathetic, but on the other hand that's people on a different continent.. | ||

Protein shakes + a post workout supplement with glutamine in it will run you like ~$200 every two months, depending on the brand you buy. I easily spend over that on supplements per year, but it's mostly protein shakes, since that's a super easy way to increase protein intake without adding tons of calories. . . it's also cheaper/easier than buying tons of tuan/chicken/etc. (I hate cooking and preparing food).

Yeah, I'm sure most women don't enjoy getting off multiple times in the same night (which often takes more than 13 minutes). I guess it does get uncomfortable after a while, depending on how hard you're going at it. I'm gonna put it this way, my ex and I asked her sister to leave her house without us to pick some stuff up (because we wanted to do it), and she was gone maybe 15 minutes. . . Her sister laughed at the idea that we were done that fast. So, I don't think that is very accurate. | ||

The vitamins thing HAS to be an American thing. I mean, in my goddamn LACROSSE club at uni probably the most I spent was 15 pounds a month on protein shakes and multivitamins. which tops at 180 pounds a year. Why the hell is it at ~$874? That's ridiculous. Average number of pull ups is also surprisingly low. 1? I admit I'm on the lean side of the scale, but I don't lift weights and I just did 9 on my door frame... That resting heart rate thing seems very low, unless a lot more people suffer from bradycardia than I thought. most healthy people have it around 60 - 80 bpm, mines 57. The only healthy people who have low resting heart rate tend to be people who do long distance racing, such as marathon runners or cyclists. | ||

My ex GF and current GF told me that it's too big and it hurts. Either they are lying or that shit is really too big. It's frustrating ughhhh I know too much information, but yeah big isn't always better. I've heard women say that before. Obviously too small isn't good too.

And Germans aren't really known for a huge penis, wtf? Favorite: CPTslut -Didn't just mention his dick crushes the scale his friend's dicks crush the scale as well. He even alluded to the German nationality as not being known for large dicks. So perhaps, he and his friends are the super dick squad? This thread also has some amazingly fit people. Everyone walks lightening fast miles, does a million pullups and has 16' waists. I had no idea TL was so physically gifted | ||

We'd all be 2 meters tall, run the mile in 4mins, have 9 inch dicks, and do 10+ pull ups. AND we're good at starcraft. hifive. Most people exaggerate alot though, even the stat shows; 69% think they're fit, but only 13% are. Also, "none of my friends have seen a dick that small" Uhhh, do you discuss dick sizes with your friends? That has got to be awkward. | ||
