Intermediate for me, Elite for my wife (and she's far from a musclehead, just very strong for a woman).

Damn, I'm a sissy. It looks like I'm barely intermediate on all of the exercises.

[edit]Oh, and serious shens on everyone that's saying they're advanced.[/edit]

To be honest, I was waiting to see if an updated picture of your bicep surfaces in this thread before calling shens.

I'm fit but don't lift weights or anything... Purely sports/jogging. I'm definitely an untrained.

You guys. :p

The only reason those pics exist is to ward off the constant shrill of shens callers when discussing weight lifting online.

No, that's called juice and fvcked up looking.

That's way beyond juice. That's blatant abuse of Synthol, a posing oil that is injected directly into the muscle to fill it out.

That guy is an idiot.

Personally, I am all natural. The only supplements I have taken is creatine and protein.

Yep. I used to use creatine a looong time ago with some protein shakes. Now I just go really all natural. ~390-400 bench with no supplements is not bad. ;)

Yah I saw a show about that guy on TLC or one of those channels a while ago. He looks so ridiculous.

The untrained seems really generous to me.

I fall just below intermediate.
