I had one of those incredibly unmotivated days that I have not had in a long time. It was terrible. Then I read an article that told me that the "average American male" has 12.4-inch biceps, a 39.7-inch chest, bench presses 145 pounds and squats 165! Suddenly I felt better. 'Cause I can beat all that (even the waist!) And much sadder for the "average American male" when I realized that we have females in the gym who can bench press and squat (more) than the average, ahem, man.

Suddenly I don't suck as much. Read the following link for more great reasons NOT to be average.
