About Powerjim!
Im a guy who couldnt careless about the scientific amount of Protein or carbs i should be getting in my diet, to burry ones head in science instead of a nice juicy steak is madness to me, i listen to what my body tells me and when im burnt out after a workout i dont really fancy some foul tasting protein shake, no matter how big and ripped the guy on the front of the tub looks, i go for beef or chicken anything with a face really sometimes the wife when im in the mood, this is usually served with potatoes the mighty spud to fuel my aching muscles, why are my muscle aching so much well let me tell you, when i workout im there to put 100% of my energy into lifting weights not jerking around with some shiny machine, feeling that bar pushing down on my hands and not knowing if this is the rep that kills me as my triceps start shaking under the pressure, my test levels increase just so i might have the strength to push the bar up back on the rack, knowing that im taking the full weight of the bar is a good feeling and i have no doubt in my mind that by the time the workout is finished im gonna be that much stronger, and thats what its all about for me strength, the basic urge for man to be strong and to be more than capable of defending his young from the evils of the world, looking at a large rock and having a warm reassurance that he can lift it if need be, walking through the streets knowing your by far the largest male is a feeling that goes way back, its a feeling both humans and animals share even though we may not admit it at times everyone is scared of the largest beast, so thats me i like being me im not into being anyone apart from me, i may admire others and would like to follow in their footsteps but at the end of the day i wouldnt want to be anyone else.
I hope you feel the same way.

i agree with you. however, i dont think my mom would be willing to pay for the huge amount of food needed for me to get all of my protein and carb requirments. so, im gonna have to rely on a shake (which i HOPE dosen't taste nasty
 ). i want to be big too so i can not become a target and so if someone tries to mess with me, i'll toss them into a building.what are your big 3 numbers (squat, deadlift, bench)? and how many sets and reps do you do of these exercises (i was unsure about how many i should do for powerlifting)?

haha yeh, its all about being the alpha male, thats what i feel i will become, top of the food chain, i just need to eat up everybody else before i get there - all it takes is time
Today i was still real sore in the back from my workout the other day, but my dad needed my help unloading his big trailer, i unloaded everything, including a big cabinet, ripping the doors off as they got in my way, up it went like it wasnt there, flung into the skip to smash into little bits Then he needed me to take down the big green house that was in our back garden, which included about 12 or 13 feet of thick concrete to hold it in place. I loaded every last bit of concrete onto the trailer (after smashing it on with a sledge hammer), which was already full, it had lots of old timber, loads of metal, an all of the green house in it - after it all went in my dad noticed that the thick steel pipe at the front was crushed in an bent up  weve had both our tractors in this monster trailer beforehand without that happening My brother and my dad (with there combined weight being about 210 kilos) tried to lift it up to put it back in place as i was having a whiz, but they couldnt move it at all, i come back an my dads talking about getting his hydrolic jack - i walk up to it, grab the handle with one hand an pick it up ...by far the heaviest thing ive ever picked up in my life! but still, i did it, an to me, thats coolstrong is good

Sorry buddy, I can't. Just look at his size and how much he weighs and let your mind figure it out. Lets just say everything is proportionate with Jim. He's eats huge, he weighs huge and he lifts huge - it all goes hand in hand with him.
