I'm the worst athelete there ever was.

Makes me wonder if I could sit on the bench, 3rd string, and make 500k a year.

And I lift weights too.

Weightlifting competitions (Snatch, Clean and Jerk) or Powerlifting comps?

I swear I've seen another guy on ATOT with SVT and or Cobra in their tag also. Did you switch it from SVT Cobra to F22 Raptor originally and now back to SVT Cobra?

not on any competitive teams or anything but i try to play tennis, golf, basketball, and ping pong regularly. recently got addicted to ping pong since my work finally set up a table. i used to play once a year but i've been playing almost everyday when the table was set up. i would like to play softball as i love baseball but have never played the sport.

though it doesn't really count, fantasy basketball and baseball along with football pickems and survival football makes watching the real games a lot more interesting and my buddies and i get pretty competitive in our leagues.

i would be very bored if sports were not around.

road, mountain biking, rock climbing and snowboard.

not that competitive though, it's a good way to hang with friends and be active.

I'm not big into traditional competitive sports. More interested in the man vs nature (where nature includes the physique, too).

There are sports I'd like to get into in a more serious way, though:

- Amateur bodybuilding
- Aikido
- Rock climbing

I also have a little bit of interest in ice hockey. But I can't stand to watch it--only play if I have the money and time to do it. I'm horrible at hockey, but I find it fun.

Baseball is a blast in the summer, too. Nothing competitive, just friends hanging out in the sun. Only with friends & family, though... it makes it more worthwhile if its laid back, having fun and just relaxing especially if you get together afterwards for some BBQ and beers.

Some other things that interest me (in a non competitive way) are skiing and swimming. Also, I'd love to someday be a good rower, and manage to run at a good speed. Don't think the running and swimming will ever be serious because it seems counter-productive to the bodybuilding.

I played rugby today. Haven't played in about 2 years, but we put together an alumni team and played a match against the undergrads at my alma mater. We lost :( but the officiating left much to be desired. We shouldn't have lost.
