Do you have lots of physical strength?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm not very strong.

I'm not in especially good shape and tend to not think of myself as especially strong, but I know pretty consistently throughout my life I've caught people off-guard when doing jobs like moving furniture or similar.

Of course, this could also be a matter of having lessened inhibitions over potential harm, in a panicked and adrenalinized state I might not be stronger than anyone else of my size and fitness level.

I am, but that's because I workout very frequently.

I'm currently pretty out of shape, but I've always punched above my weight and possessed a lot of raw strength.

I am very strong and muscular. very athletic looking. But I also have a serious coordination disorder that rules out being athletic. Also because of that combined with my strength I accidentally break things. Nature has a warped sense of humor.

I think I've always been a fair bit below average strength wise .

I have pretty low physical strength. I need to start working out so I can change that.

Barely, but I am going to try and visit my school's gym more often.

I've tended to be fairly strong throughout life.

But the ways I've demonstrated my strength have sometimes worried me.

I've punched and cracked 2 car windshields (windscreen for the UK folks) with my fist, security glass (the glass with wire criss-crossing inbetween the layers), put holes in walls and doors, dented things, etc
I've always tried not to get into physical fights because I've been worried that if I got in a good swing and connected with someone... I might severely injure them.

On a more positive note...
I'm handy to open things, straighten things, lift and move things, due to my strength.
Not that I'm a super-strong person, though.

I've worked out before, and been in schools and jobs where exercise was mandatory, but I'm not a gym rat at all.

I never had much strength even when I was working doing manual labor type jobs, dish-washer & custodial. Last month I started lifting 5 pound dumbbells doing 10 reps at a time usually only 1ce a day. I was gonna increase to 15 reps at a time 1ce I got in the habit more but I got sick on Christmas with an infection(went to doc & got antibiotics) so I quit lifting the weights. I should start them again but I really need to wash dishes tomorrow cuz they pilled up & we're out of bowls so the weights will have to wait at least till Tuesday. I made a thread very recently in the Health section about low exertion tolerance viewtopic.php?t=384087

No, and with physical disabilities like mine, I never will have. Same with stamina. Training helps a little, but I can never reach the same levels that a healthy person could... I've decided to not to worry about it too much. As long as I can handle daily tasks without too much trouble, I consider myself strong enough.

i hope so

I’m strong in some aspects, relatively weak in others.

I have decent stamina.

Fine motor coordination is slightly below average.

Not at all.

I can walk pretty far without getting too tired, so might have ok stamina.

I never could seem to keep up in P.E class, it always helped with the bullying to have to demonstrate in front of the whole class that I was too weak to do things like pull ups, couldn't do as many push ups, sit ups, couldn't stretch as far as the other kids.

I remember when I was 10 and was having a particularly bad year of bullying we were doing a little spelling b thing. So I got the word 'weak'...like wow thanks teacher, I definitely wanted a negative adjective that describes me as my word to spell in front of the class.

Now I am not so self conscious about it, one can have other strengths besides physical strength.

Quite stronger than someone of my own stature. It's both an asset and a recurring problem. Mostly an asset that I had to keep holding back.
No one dared calling me weak -- but then who would call a girl 'weak'? Instead they're more worried about me ending up breaking something with my bare hands... And it seems that no amount of crafting skills could make me more gentle with things.

Since I got enough coordination aptitude outside the clumsy line -- both gross and fine motor -- along with other physical traits of strength and stamina that would mean I'd be an athlete right?
Nope. I lack the reaction time for that, which is the very mark of what most athletes and gamers of varying forms have than anything else.
