I was lifting weight when I was young. I used to bench press 286#. The could squat 405#. My military press was 255#. Now it's swim, tennis, mountain climbing, and bicycling. More cardio. Not too heavy.

i can understand about the kgs only
what are those # ?

after taking a break, on the first days of return i will feel like all my bones are breaking.. i will feel great pain lol i love that feeling wuhuu

Wow that is a good program. 3 sets of 10, 5 sets of 10. Man that will keep you fit for sure. In High school I learned Greco-Roman wrestling. We used to Run 5 miles a day, 7 days a week. I was in the best shape. I think I had 3 percent body fat.

i do cardio as well
min 2 sets of 20 min cycling before i get to the other part.

3 % ?? i think below 12% is already accepted as fit
3 % is nothing! wowwww.
i am sure many girls were after you. popular boy. i am not surprised that ypu were picking girls from the clubs

after the 1st 3 months of tat program i had metabolism analysis, showed my met age as "22"
it must have gone up in the winter time of course
i will go and have it done again before i start the gym again

i had excess water and protein they said lol

Oh sorry those are pounds.

1 pound =
0.45359237 kilograms

ok got it :)

1 pound =
0.45359237 kilograms

184 kg squat?!!!

Ok 2.2# or pounds is 1 kilogram
Yes when I was at 3.7 % body fat I was passing out alot. I thought I was just tired. My coach changed my diet to more protien. Went up to 5.2%. I stopped passing out. I also ran 100 meter dash. I was very fast. Long jump and high jump. I loved the Olympics!

Yes, I had strong legs, and big gluts! Squats and stadiums gave me quick sprint speed and great jumping ability!

yes having the fat % so low are causing some troubles as well
for a while i had some strange muscle aches
the gym trainer said as the fat% goes down, you feel more aches and symptons of tiredness..

i cannot run
i had an accident and i was on crutches for 1,5 year (10 years ago), i couldn't really walk. i forgot how to walk.
after that i learnt walking again
i afterwards learnt to run too, but not fast
just as fast as to catch a bus :)

Oh I'm sorry to hear that. Was it a compound fracture? I broke both of my ankles in a motorcycle accident. I was in a wheel chair for 8 months. If the weather changes it hurts a bit. I can't run any more so I use my bicycle and I pretend I'm running again! As long as you stay in shape, it's all good.

i dont know the term in English, whether if it was compound fracture or not.. but lower bone at my right leg was broken from 2 places and at the bottom break the bone was out of the flesh. so they had to push it in. they put a platinum *stick* of about 30 cm long "in" the bone and it is still there.. it doesnt make any ache, i am lucky. they said it would make, but never happened.

the thing is, i was thinking that this platinum is the same platinum they made the expensive jewellery things of. because they ripped me off very well, so that made sense to believe that way. when the jewellery guy (friend of mum) told me that it was just stainless steel, my dreams went "poff" :(

i couldnt find which word to use instead of *stick*
probably that is not the correct usage

Oh I understand what you said. Yes that's the word compound break. Platinum, yes that would be awsome.
I've got titanium plates and pins in my ankles. I have a medical card I carry with my passport. When I get scanned my feet make the scanner go wooooo.
