Same here, I weigh 240lbs, but cold only do 3!
I am 202 pounds.
The only gauge of how strong i am is i can lift my own weight over my head.
I should really quantify my statments, i dont work in an office i work in transport and from every summer holiday from when i was about 12 and then full time on from 15 i worked in a warehouse moving pallets, lamp posts, cookers, industrial Dies, Gearboxes, Engines, each and every single day for over 12 hours a day, for a lot of the time with no fork trucks or pallet trucks.
I would then once i started driving have to deliver these, again, with no forktrucks or pallet trucks.
I delivered an excercise machine once, it was in a box that was 90Kilos, i had it on my shoulder and the guy that i delivered it too couldnt even move the box let alone pick it up.
So thats 15 solid years of lifting heavy things for 12 hours a day, so its possible i might be stronger than your average man in the street.
But i doubt i am any fitter.
My Brother is the same, he went out on the lash last week and ended up challenging the bouncer at the night club to an Arm wrestle after they got talking about body building, neither of them won, but the bouncer had a good few inches of bicep over my little bro.
