Just to be on the safe side, how strong would I have to be to beable to hold a 200lb person in my arms? What about for 10 minutes? 30 minutes? I was holding my cat for about maybe 2 minutes and already my biceps were getting tired which bothered me considering that if I need to hold someone up, I'd have a pretty difficult time doing so...

There's a difference between strength and stamina. Most people on ATOT could probably hold a 200 pound person for at least 5 seconds. 10 minutes? That requires stamina, endurance, things like that. You'd have to be in decent shape.

Edit: Wait, should I stop responding to his threads?

so if i have the strength to hold a 700lb person for 5 seconds, i may not have the stamina to hold a cat for 10 minutes?

You seriously cannot decypher that?

I just can't believe someone is dumb enough to think it's supposed to be spelled that way. Looking back through goku's posts, this is definitely not the first time, either.

Are you implying it runs in the family? It's not a word, I just didn't put a space in between you stupid asshat. Shouldn't you be shining my shoes?

Ah, you're getting defensive about your intelligence. With good reason, too, since you've used "beable" on a number of occasions:

Good point, must be a bad habit, does it really bother you? If so I'll be sure to change it, I don't mind when people notify me of my bad habits that I'm not aware of..

Another one that really bugs me, although I don't recall you doing it, is when people combine "at" and "least" into one word, "atleast". I've seen quite a few people commit that heinous act.

Once you reach Middle School, they will have a program called "Physical Education".
That should help you build up a little muscle, strength, and stamina.
Provided you don't wimp out with a Doctors excuse for something forbidding physical activity.
