Now THAT'S what I call a bicep/tricep!

How would you like THIS guy to have you in a headlock?

I saw on another forum years ago this guy injects some animal fat maybe pig fat into his arms. Those are not muscles.

 

[MidnightCry]

I'm 5'9 and no I don't do any weight lifting. (just in case you were wondering.)

 

[Endium]

5'10
...or something like that. I haven't measure my hight in probably in 5 years. I don't think I have grown though.

We have 30 votes on the poll and only 19 people who posted.

Make a post people. Your names can't be seen on the poll.

Of course, that's my fault.

I watched a show on this guy a month or so ago. He was injecting steroids. That is why his biceps look the way they do.

So far Midnightcry is the tallest girl.

Can anyone beat her?

 

[NightEternal]

I should add that once we have the tally results in for all the forum members, the tallest girl and tallest guy will be crowned honorary Adam and Eve of the forum!

They are truly ghastly, gross looking things. How can he possibly think that is esthetically appealing?

Hey fellas, what do you say we start posting what we can bench press? how about that?

Andrew,

It's been awhile since I have done that - my max at one time was 212.

Hi Chris,

The (secular/ordinary) Egyptian cubit is measured from the the elbow to end of the middle finger. It about 18 inches or 1.5 ft.

The sacred Hebrew cubit (apropos) is the secular cubit + a hand breath of about 4 inches.

Ezekiel 40:5 And behold a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man's hand a measuring reed of six cubits long by the cubit and an hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.

Ezekiel 43:3 And these are the measures of the altar after the cubits: The cubit is a cubit and an hand breadth; even the bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the edge thereof round about shall be a span: and this shall be the higher place of the altar.

That makes the hebrew cubit = 18" + 4"= 22" or ~1.83'.

SOP confirms the measure in Patriarchs and Prophets:

"The tabernacle was so constructed that it could be taken apart and borne with the Israelites in all their journeyings. It was therefore small, being not more than fifty-five feet in length, and eighteen in breadth and height." --- PP 347

The sanctuary (1st + 2nd apartments) measures 30x10x10 cubits.

DL,

Thanks for that explanation. All I did was google "hebrew cubit" and found the one website. It has a table on it with cubits ranging from like 14 inches all the way to 26 inches if I remember correctly.

I did think the standard cubit was about 18 inches. I was not familiar with the texts you pointed out so thanks for that!

It certainly looks like it with those arms!

Is the photo recent? You definitely don't look your age.

 

[StormyOne]

6'1" here.

On a somewhat related note, an atheist friend of mine always joked about being "ripped like Jesus". Since Jesus was a carpenter and he lived in a time where you really had to work for what you had, he figured Jesus had to be pretty muscular. Makes you think....
