That way is accurate enough for most purposes.

 

Either I misunderstood the measuring places (most likely) or the count is way off. Aren't waist and Iliac pretty much the same?

 

Nah, waist is round your belly button and illiac is just round the jut of your hip bones. Hips is measured round the widest part of your ass.

 

Height 5ft7
Weight 203lbs
Bodyfat 19.9%

Wow, That's surprising. I thought it would be lower, but I haven't kept track for awhile. I'll report back in a few months. ::

I'm about 10lbs lighter than I was when I met Sly. Highfat food is my Kryptonite. I love stuff like bacon, Jalapeno Poppers, and cheeseburgers.

 

You look like you could push press a small former Soviet state though Buddy. :: A little fat hangs on a dude like yourself MUCH differently (better) than your average guy at 20% body fat.

 

The weird thing is that I've lost over 10lbs in the past month or so from ropeclimbing and circuit training. I'm actually a bit under the weather right now with a wicked cold, but I've probably never been stronger overall in my life.::

 

Even Shane Mosley felt this way before the Floyd match. Fact is, 38 is long past your physical prime whether you feel stronger or not. You're already deteriorated in your keen senses, reflexes and overall body strength.

 

::Nah....there's no deterioration in strength at that age. Reflex' & speed, kinda diminish, but if anything the late 30s are probably a guys strength peak.

 

Which World's Strongest Men were still winning titles at age 38? They were way past their best in their late 30s. Everything diminishes by age 38, no matter the sport you play. You lose a bit of everything including speed, reflexes and hand-eye and you get a little slower in the mind.

 

Unless, of course, you do a lot of work that involves research and analysis.

And, you have to keep in mind that people who train frequently continue to gain longer than those who don't. Look at Fred Hatfield for example.

 

Loads of top powerlifters are still near the top in their late 30s. Dont know anything about strongman, bet its the same. Britains strongest man competition is usually dominated by guys WELL into their 30s though.

 

Zydrunas Savickas is 34.
Pudzianowski is 33.
Phil Pfister is 40.

These are the 3 oldest competitors and winners in the past 3 years. Looks like Hanzy was right. If I was going to win it, I should have won it back then. ::

 

You gotta factor in injuries in these competitions too. It isn't so much age that cuts allot of these guys careers short its the accumulation of injuries. An injury free 38 year old is just as STRONG as an injury free 28 year old, assuming training etc. And even after that the decline isn't THAT great....it might be enough to make the hair of difference that matters at the elite level but it's not this horrendous dramatic decline. Put it this way, id bet you're stronger than 98% of people my age, including me and if you keep training will still be in 10 years.

I mean like you said, Fred Hatfield broke the ALL TIME squat record aged 45. He was still totalling close to 2000 into his 50s, ffs.:: Puny old codger.

 

Oh and another thing about Hatfield - he squatted pretty close stance, without much help from a suit AT ALL. I'm not sure if it was raw per se but there was certainly no 4 foot wide stance, waddling the bar off the monolift and bouncing it off a triple ply steel suit. In real strength terms that might well have been the strongest squat of all time to this day.

5'2.75"
132lbs solid

not sure the %

 

i am 36 and in the best shape of my life I think..

i'm JUST about to hit my prime!

 

LOK, did you ever do that marathon last year? Did you win?

 

at "did you win"

HELL NO!

for one.. I didn't do it, my wife had bronchitis so we didn't run

but the training was great!

generally guys like me (185-200lbs) don't usually win marathons::

 

Ah well, too bad really. I thought you'd win. Maybe next time!
How long was the marathon? Do you think you can win it if you train really really hard and get down to like 145lbs?

 

LOK, when you run a marathon, do you have to run all the way? Or can you stop and walk a little bit?

 

Marathons have one length, Hanzy. 26mi or 42km.

 

Actually you can stop and walk a bit, but I wouldn't recommend it for too too long.

 

Golly! That's a long way. How many people statistically can run an entire marathon without stopping? I doubt too many.

 

my father was supposed to run a marathon but a few weeks before the event my mother went into labor with my sister and there were some complications, so he had to stop training and had to be with my mom and missed the run.
