[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5500697, member: 19675"] Dude- what ARE you smoking? "Pretty Big" doesn't start until you're hitting the mid-teens in stats. [I] I'M[/I] a Str 14 in D&D terms, I'm 5'7", 250, and I don't do the kinds of things my big relatives on the farm in Covington do*. My first cousin Kev is just a shade over 6'2" and has a bench of 400lbs. (We're both 43 years old, btw.) You know what he does? He's a trucker. I didn't even start at Nose Guard on the football team at my [I]private[/I] school (total team size, just under 40 guys). Our average lineman weighed 180lbs, and the guy in front of me benched 300lbs at age 18, 5'7" 175. I didn't get that beefy a bench until my junior year of college. One guy on our team was pressured to play because of his size. He had no talent, but he was big. I lined up against him one day. He threw me 5 feet. For the record, there were running backs at public schools bigger than most of our linemen. And my kind of strength wouldn't cut it in college ball. College linemen routinely average nearly 400lb bench presses, and the linebackers are in the low-300s. NFL linemen? Guards and Tackles: 535 lbs, Center: 500 lbs, a typical DE: 440 lbs and your MLBs and OLBs: 370 lbs. Fighting men do NOT have the monopoly on being big hunks of humanity. Not even in D&D. * I'm not even the strongest guy[I] in my game group.[/I] [/QUOTE]
