I just realized that 70 kg @ 1.78 (154 @ 5’10") is… underweight. Badly. (yes, I know you knew this) I need at least 8…10 more kg (going to ~170+ lbs) to have a “normal” weight…
Got me thinking… the “ideal weight = height (in cm) - 110” is ideal… for… dunno… slaves, bisexual male fashion models, metrosexual men… (no, I never did buy into it; just discussing the concept).
Still, my back looks better than 95% of people’s. Yep, not training is bad.
Also, the strength and CV endurance (as in going through a normal STRENGTH-TRAINING session without dying) of the average untrained sedentary male are about 6’ under…par.

2. While my DL of 140 (308) is most certainly not “high” by any means, I would like to tell all those guys who DLed 180 (400) the first time they went to the gym and who are now saying that “400 is nothing” to STICK IT.
It might take some people a good number of years of SOLID training.
It took me two years to get here (140) (add a congenitally weak spine to the equation). And my reps just halved these past few weeks (as in I did 120 for 7 and a few weeks ago I did 124 for 0 on tuesday. 110 for 10 some time ago and today 114 for 5), so I need to change something (I’ll go from DL to SLDL to below the knee, pushing hips back as much as possible)…
I also began reading “Science and practice of strength training” by the late prof. Verkoshansky… Depending on fibre distribution, a trainee with more fast twitch fibres can have an almost TEN times greater strength increase from a training program. (page 84) Over-simplified, maybe. But, genetics play a pretty big role. And leverages, too. If you lifted 400 within a month or two or none, it might take others a few years to get there. Oh, also, not everyone weighs 220+. Again, stick it. (kudos for your extraordinary strength, though)
(this is most certainly NOT saying that one should consider a 150/330 DL “great” or not strive for more, but what it’s worth is relative to how much effort you had to invest to get it. Yes, a 180/400 DL is an ACHIEVEMENT if it took you 5 years of solid training, eating, and sleeping. And you’re also <100/220. The idea is to better yourself.)

The one leg in front of the other pose is also a great way to conceal a penis. Hallowed I don’t personally care for your pictures and I am 90% convinced you are a dude. If you are that’s fucked up. If your not, I’m sorry. Either way you shouldn’t feel bad because apparently lots of other men think your attractive. Except for the one dude who keeps calling you chubby. Have a nice day. [/quote]
Oh hey buddy,
See this picture? One of these people is a MAN and one of these people is a WOMAN.
Can you tell the difference? This is something you’re probably going to want to get better at.

Yeah.
Also you have way too much free time. Shouldn’t you be using it to go to the gym, tubby?
(For all the fucking idiots out there, yes, this is clearly a joke. Don’t get all pissy.)[/quote]
I know, I mean I really SHOULD be taking my chubby ass to the gym,
but I feel OBLIGATED, OBLIGATED I tell you to educate the Dutch youth on the difference between men and women. I mean I don’t think the Dutch have made such a foolish mistake since… well maybe not since World War II. I mean what if he had actually said something like this to my face? Its horrendous the Sicilian Temper.
As it is Ct. R is on his way to Holland to eat BignStrong’s White Women. Only I KNOW JUST KNOW HE DOESN’T HAVE ANY! I mean maybe a fat old mother or something but that isn’t going to come anywhere near teh FIVE BAGS OF WHITE WOMEN that Ct. Needs and gosh can you even imagine BignStrong’s fate when Ct. doesn’t get five full bags of white women?

T-Nation’s heterosexual posters can tell the difference between a man and a woman.
(kudos for your extraordinary strength, though)
