Guys:Are you strong for your age?

Post Reply New Topic

This is similar to the "do you consider yourself attractive?" thread.

I am not sure if AS has anything to do with this, but I have always been somewhat shrimpy compared to others my age.

I didn't get my strength/stamina growth spurt till the END of grade 10, generaly speaking, it's safe to train like adults by 15 years.

Like when I started bench pressing, I could only put up 55 pounds and only got up to 85 a week or two ago...I started in March. Though I have some setbacks, that's a ridiculous lack of results for my ridiculous amount of time in the gym and protein consumed.

It's not just that, it's all the other physical benchmarks,aside from maybe body hair.

My voice hasn't even reached full tonality yet, sometimes my voice goes up an octave when I am scared and I feel childlike.

I really do seem more 14 than 16 in most ways.

I don't although I don't really care - I actually prefer being lighter than the large biceps making me heavier xD.

I think NTs just want to be strong so they can brag about it; so they probably have a stronger motive.

(Not that it's a good one in any way...)

1.To have energy and strength to be proud of myself.
2. To lift weight and have big numbers.
3. To make the ladies blush and...things I cannot say lol

By guys I assume you mean boys. I'm a girl but I often find I am wanting to become stronger. For ballet mostly, someitmes I am a ashamed I am too weak for some steps. I would say I am weakest in arms though.

im pretty strong but mostly because the only work ive been able to find most of my life has been construction or warehouse type work, not because i work out or anything.

5'10 180 lbs and not chubby at all, can lift about 200 lbs to a little under chest high. im not overly bulky either(tbh i think a lot of people are capable of greater feats than they think they are)

I was asking the youth, under like 20. thx anyway/

Sure, but only because I played rugby for more than half of my life.

I've been associated by being around 5+ my normal age, and I can't even get a kiddy meal in some restaurants... Does that count for anything?

how old are you?

I'd rather not say, but I just thought I'd ask;
Best way to start working out? I'm not a real skinny person, and loosing a couple of pounds couldn't hurt anybody.

*facepalm*

I have no place in this thread, but I had to take a look. Carry on with all of your guys' "manly talk."

haha sorry to make you feel uncomfortable.

It wasn't uncomfortable, it was just funny.

I am also quite skinny, never cared much for being very muscular. I used to do sit-ups and use a treadmill(or jog in place) everyday back from late 8th to 9th grade (with the help of OCD). My goal was never to be a lot stronger, it was more about looking good and my health. I'm still a healthnut now, haven't had fast food or any soft drinks for about three years now and I'm vegan. I'm more of a nerd than anything else, but I care about my health/diet.

No, I'm not strong at all. I can't even do a single pull-up, although that's also due to my heavy weight. I don't lift weights, nor do I perform physically demanding work, so I guess being weak is a natural consequence of that.

If your goal is to lose pounds rather than bulk up on muscle, then start with cardio exercises. You don't need to go to a gym; running, biking, and swimming are just fine. Maybe take up a sport that involves a lot of running around(most of them do). Most importantly for losing weight, though, you have to watch what you eat. I've been able to lose more than five pounds in a week by avoiding junk food, eating salads, and not snacking.

as long as I'm not fat, I'm okay, but I think I'm too skinny and bony.
