Probably not, I have really bad shoulders. Sure I can work them out just fine but the rotator cuffs themselves are borked and so anything other sanitary body-building and power-lifting motions are entirely out of the question. XDElfgore said:

Within the first 5 minutes of multiplayer game I know who's going to win and lose. Which I then tell to my team, who go you're wrong and then when I'm right I get say I told you so.
I can play Magic: The Gathering really, really well when I'm drunk, maybe even more so than when I'm sober. I don't mean drunk as in you're a six pack in and feeling the buzz, I'm talking like 14 shots with beer as your chaser (then follow it up with a mind eraser!) drunk. I perfectly piloted my manaless dredge deck while struggling to actually hold my cards and later did the same with charbelcher.
Those are some impressive PB's there. I used to lift a bit before my kids were born but nothing like that.Saulkar said:Let us see.
I am easily one of the strongest people in the province with a Deadlift of 635lb, a Squat of 555lb, and a Benchpress of 335lb. I have not tried any of my one rep maxes in a while so I am confident I could deadlift 3x my weight at 660lb, squat near 600lb, but my bench had suffered due to a shoulder injury I had just recovered from. I hope to get it up to at least 355lb before the provincial competition this October!
GADOOSH!
Supposedly some people with autism have a diminished regulatory mechanism so I am able to use a larger percentage of my strength on a regular basis versus a normal person but at the cost of constantly hurting myself. It is not fun.Gordon_4 said:Those are some impressive PB's there. I used to lift a bit before my kids were born but nothing like that.Saulkar said:Let us see.

I'm very good at memorizing passwords. I can generally remember quite long and complex passwords after having heard and used them only once.
I am quite a good bass guitar player, able to outplay most of the other bassists of similar experience level I know, despite the fact that the only practice I get is rehearsal with my cover band once a week for 2-3 hours and none of the songs we play actually push my limits. I also tend to learn new songs very quickly and can still remember and play them after not having played them for years.
I also run a D&D 3.5 campaign which takes place in and around a major metropolis. Within this city I have created close to a hundred notable locations with several hundred NPC's between them, each with their own distinct personality, mannerisms, agenda and such. I am somehow able to memorize the specifics of all that and can tell them to my players whenever asked.
In short, I'm good at memorizing stuff, especially if it involves patterns of sequences, so long as it is something I care about. Everything else though, I tend to forget almost immediately after learning about it.

So are you working on aesthetics, or powerlifting? What kind of comp?Saulkar said:Let us see.

I kinda want to try a strongman comp just to see if I can budge the stones or whatever I have to pull.
You are really strong, those are some great lifts.
Dude, that is so cool. That is a real artistic talent.Eclipse Dragon said:

You need the discipline to carry on through the plateau. I too find that I pick things up quickly but then get stuck at being sorta good at them. This is when you are met with a choice. You can drop it and stay sorta good at it forever, or you can push yourself onwards until one day, you look back and find that while little changed day-to-day, you have greatly improved since you felt like quitting.EHKOS said:
I... do not have one. Anything that I can do, at least two people I know can do it better, or is actually a personality flaw.
I thought that I was a pretty good writer, but then I read some of the stuff that my friends have written and now I know that I'm gonna finish college and try to do something that I'm not very good at anyways.
I've been told that I am strong, but everyone else I know could easily kick my ass.
People have told me that I am calm a lot of the time, but that's not calm so much as apathy for everything that happens to the world as a whole, except for things that effect me personally, so that makes me selfish.
People have told me that I am intense due to me sense of humor, but I only tell dead baby jokes so often because A: I know that most people like them and B: I like to make people laugh or react in certain ways and it's the only way I know how, so unfunny is another thing.
I have been told that I am humble, but this entire post has been nothing but self-depreciating and negative, and I know for a fact that the only reason I'm doing it is so I can feel like a special snowflake in that I suck at everything and that no one sucks as much as I do, so that invalidates everything that I've said so far.
Basically my point is that I shouldn't answer these sorts of questions because I end up doing this and wasting everyone's time and making myself seem like more of an asshole than I already am.

Let see-
I can flare up my nostril (making it big as if it was a muscule) since no one around here can do it when it is brought up (don't asked me how it can be brought up)).
I used to be good at finding very speciific things on Goodle. I just remember using "" from IT class. Sadly the recent Google update kind make it obsolete.
Half of the time I can have a good memory. Mind you it's not picture perfect but I can remember some stuff that people have forgotten weeks ago.
My hearing can be at time acute but only if the surrounding it quiet. I used to lived in a three stories house (ground floor is a take away that my parent owned) and I can hear someone knocking on the door when I'm on the top floor.

I can spend extraordinary amount of time reading random websites and forgetting everything I've seen by the end of the day.
Not sure if there is a way to monetize this or make it an Olympic sport, but I am sure some medals are coming my way if it ever is.

I pick up new musical instruments very easily. People keep giving me them, and although I can learn to play them decently, I can't play any single one especially well. It just means I get embarrassed when people ask me to play.
I've also got a knack for discovering and remembering obscure facts (at the expense of forgetting everything else). The invention of QI and wikipedia has made this a redundant skill.

I'm generally a pretty 'slow' guy. I walk relatively slowly, I like to do things at a slow pace, etc. But I LARP as well, and love whacking people with foam swords. And when I'm fighting, I'm apparently very quick to react and move. I didn't notice this myself, but a friend of mine commented on how quick on my feet I apparently am when I want to be.
I am very quick to pick up on new things, and can become very knowledgeable about them very quickly...if it interests me enough. Which barely happens, sadly.
Lastly, I'm pretty good at keeping track of many things at once in my head. I would probably be great at a job involving inventory management or some such, if I could find such a job.

I have a handful of things I am good at I suppose. I am a professional artist and am working on my own indie titles which is kinda cool. Art is honestly a big part of my life. I have done prolly upwards of 20+ years worth of judo so I guess I can say I am fairly good at that I do love a good fight. I play bass on my free time though I don't think I am all that good honestly I have only been playing for about 2 years practicing like once a week when I get a chance. I dunno I have a few other things I am good at I just don't want to start making a lame list for myself here XD.
Obviously I'm good at a lot of things. However, uniqueness is tougher to find. I do have a keen sense of time, and almost no matter what I'm doing I won't lose the track of it. Also after watching a lot of House and Mentalist I can pull off a decent coffee table detective act, even though I kinda shouldn't - girls don't dig it.
Thanks, I appreciate that.aba1 said:

Did you say 20 years of Judo?

Thanks for the compliment, and please don't hurt me!
Seriously though, what rank have you achieved? I practiced Iaido for a while, which has a similar grading system, but never left second kyu, and I had to leave it behind after that.
