Post by: Army of One on January 01, 2013, 10:39:16 PM
Is it ok to laugh openly at this affliction or is it frowned upon?

LOL, i would think so, since most people hear bash, hate, mock and talk trash about bodybuilders as much as they can.

It's data is probably old and flawed though, I remember the same measurements being thrown around in the 50's - 70's for chest and arm size.

LOL, pathetic!  What's even worse is that it's a chubby 12.6" arm to boot! 
I've always heard the average bench was 145 for a single.  I had a couple guys I play Basketball with (who don't workout)  want to bench with me one day and neither could do it.  Pitiful!

It's there, under "Size Yourself Up"-

#168 20 something year old male - 180 1rm. Every decade after that, weight increases 5-10lbs, bench drops 15- 20lbs.

The info is dated though, the average American male is now 5' 9" #195, with a 39 inch waist according to the CDC.  :-[.

Kind of the opposite of getbig where every one has 20" arms and a 12.6" cock. We are the genetic elite.

 This study should make everyone who trains smile. Considering our forearms are bigger than the average american males arms flexed. Can't believe the average amount of pull ups is one.
