    Default How strong are you?

    Inspired by the thread by the same name in the Gen. FF forum.

    How (physically) strong are you in real life? Could you make a stand if attacked? Would you normally be the winner? Feel free to mention other things you find relevant too.

    Myself, I have very little actual fighting experience, but I've trained a little bit of Ju Jitsu, so I've got a some theory nailed down, along with basic holds and throws. I've also got quite a bit of "burst strenght" (but not that much stamina), so I think I might do decently if I could just keep my head cool.

    I beat my gf's brother 5 times in a row in an arm wrestle. Hes pretty big and on the wrestling team. And I could make a stand if attacked. I could probably lift my own weight.almost 200 pounds. Im 14 though/

    I'd say I'm quite strong, I've got decent upper body strength, but I've got insane lower body strength, I haven't been in a real fight in a long time, like 13 years, but I could make a stand if attacked, just hammer my fist down on their head, if they're still conscious then just kick them a bit.

    I can lift my own weight, but I probably couldn't bench it.

    I am quiet strong. I have to be for my line of work. I am in construction and lift heavy things. So I could stand being attacked and last time I fought I did win.

    I jokingly slapped my friend on the shoulder once and dislocated it.

    I can calf press about 1000lbs, and can bench about 200lbs.

    I'm moreso dexterous and agility-based!

    I can bench my own weight though, which isn't much since I'm a skinny little bastard.

    Lol, how did you manage to dislocate it?

    Just the force of my hand coming down, so strength + gravity + speed = dislocation.

    I'm pretty damn strong I've got great constitution I can take a shizz kicking and come back for more always, I'm also able to deal the damage I know some basic martial arts throws/holds. I also know how to do some of the kicks of Taekwondo and stuff. I'm pretty damn brutal in a fight to be honest I see it in 2 points of view, you're either fighting to win or fighting to lose. I don't believe you can fight dirty if I have to I will punch a man in the throat or kick him in the groin.

    The only thing I can hold my hand up and say "hey I'm proud of in this" is that I have never beaten a girl up for any reason even though some of the women in my past have deserved it and one has begged me to do it I haven't I don't hit women in anger.

    While in a weightlifting class I was required to take in high school, the max I could bench was 45 lbs. I'm only slightly stronger now.

    However, I am quite a bit more agile than I look, although, I can't keep dodging for long, due to my incredibly poor endurance.
