Most of the people on this site don't like to answer these types of questions, but you're obviously new so I didn't want to leave you out in the cold. If you want to know your progress in relation to the average, you could find it on a table or chart I am sure. Who cares if it's average? It's the best you've got, and as long as you keep bustin your butt, it's good enough. -------------- I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle-victorious. --Vince Lombardi "Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it.

wrestler125 Posts: 4,619 Joined: 2004/01/27	2006/02/10, 09:58 PM Well believe it or not, not everyone lifts to "win over the ladies". I know lots of people that are cut that are weak. I would have to say about 95% of my gym. Besides, I let the blonde hair and blue eyes win over the ladies. -------------- Iron and chalk. Pain is only temporary, it is in your mind.
