Exciting Weightlifting News
The Men's Health Magazine this month has come out with the year's "Average Guy Statistics", and I was thrilled to read them!
The Average Guy...was in the best shape of his life at age 23: hold's true so far for me.
...has 13 inch biceps: 13.25"
...can do 27 pushups: 46 before collapse
...can bench press 93% of his body weight: 119%
...has a 16.2" back: 21"
...has 20.4" thighs: 20"
...can run 1.5 miles in 12.5 minutes: could run a leisurely 8 minute mile, so this is pretty close.
...fav gym equipment is the barbell: dumbbell
...least fav gym equipment is the treadmill: treadmill
So, I guess I'm doing pretty good, physical fitness wise. There is still, however, a long way to go.
