Salaams,

This will mostly be for the bros I don't think so any sisters will contrbute to this so the question is as follows:

How much can you bench press ?
How much can you deadlift ?
And how bigs your beard

ok the last one don't count but hey you never know when Sis Barr with the invisible beard interrupts...

As for me 35kgs easily for bench press
Dead lift 55kgs

Salaams

What, shoes isn't a manly topic? ::)

Bench: 205 lbs (~92 kg) times 8 or 10 times...12 on a really good day. Usually ready to drop it on myself at 8. Easy bench: 135 (~61 kg) times 20 reps. Keep in mind, these weights include the 45 lbs bar (we include that around here). Does your bench include the bar weight, Hanif?

Dead Lift: Don't know. I avoid this one.

Leg press anyone? Seven 45 lb plates / side, times 10.

My strong areas are legs, abs, and to a certain extent chess & shoulders (I'm 175 lbs). My weak area is for sure my back. Have never enjoyed working it out. History of injuries there, so I train it lightly, and stretch it A LOT.

I want to get into doing more squats this summer. Apparently that helps with point-to-point speed (running for soccer). I've never trained w/ squats.

I have some great cardio / recovery workouts that can be done in the gym if anyone is interested.

Beard? I keep clean shaven, but turn into a bear after 3 or 4 days without shaving. Then it starts driving me nuts enough to shave again.

  I can bench.... roll the drums......


     10 lbs!!!!    yeaaaaaaah!!!.  LOL
    but remember the bar itself is what 40lbs?  So thats 50lbs--Oh yeah!!

  I actually had an experience where I was on an incline bench doing the bench press and after my 10 reps I couldn't get my arms up to put the bar back on the stand and had to call for help LOL
     
     Now, this was before I converted so I used to workout at a rec center and usually was the only woman there--I could beat most guys with the hmmm don't know what its called but it where you have a weight on your shoulders but you are lifting it by standing on your toes to work your calfs (I hope I make sense)--I can't remember what weight I did since I haven't used in in a long time.  But most of the guys could not beat me..... guys tend to work out there upper bodies more that the lower though.  

  I do miss the rec center sometimes because the guys helped me a whole lot.... when I am working out with a bunch of women nowadays its usually more a competition of who looks better.  So now I just workout at home.   Ahhh well....  I am happy to be a Muslimah!!


 No beard   :P

Bar = 45 lbs.

Mystery exercise = calf raises.

Sea? You still need a guy's help. ;)

Salaams,

[quote]What a silly topic! [/quote]
Not as silly as tapestry, marrige, hijab, tapestry*2, hijaab*2, perfume, make-up, help husbands a jerk or I'm in love and help me. Those topics are found as common as the sun in the women folder thats why you'll find its quality not qty in the brothers posts!. Enjoy your day sisters.

Salaams

Hanif, a real man.

[slm] Madina Wrestler,

That was so bad taste.  Yes, we  :-) have problems with lifes problems but so do you brothers.  We just have different problems.  Men deal with stresses in one way and we do it another.  I shop when upset and my husband speeds.  His 2 tickets cost more than a full day at the local mall!

:-)

[slm] all...

well it depends, i can accept any (there are limits thou) amount of weight as a challenge :) and alhandolillah i make it too :) so giving out a number wont be a good idea as i'm not regular in working out  (i work around 3 times a week on the average)

Beard? yes sir.......... and i love it.. hehe.. always wondered how would i look in a beard but alhamdolillah, i mean alhamdolillah :)
