What do you have against your right arm that it gets extra punishment?

I’m sorry, but when I read metric I have to roll my eyes. It’s like the 13.1 half marathon stickers - I’m sure I couldn’t do one myself, but I don’t go bragging about my halfassed mediocre semi-accomplishments, either.

Can you also bowl over 100 with bumpers?

What does the metric system have to do with that? 😕

Or at least, an _interesting_ person? (So far, not.)

Maybe he’s been banned by all the body building forums out there and this is his place of last resort. Which is kind of sad, really.

Not to mention uninteresting.

I think it’s code, the OP is a Russian spymaster and orders have been given.

It’s all very hush-hush.

I assume it refers to the fastest measured bowl in cricket history (Shoaib Akhtar, 100.23 MPH) as opposed to 100 KMH (about 62.5 MPH), which wouldn’t qualify you as a fast bowler at any serious level.

Sometimes Russell Crowe posts his work out routines, but OP… unless you are him, please cut it out.  
You have more to offer than your work out reps, don’t you?

Here’s your shot. Take It.

**SarahLiamJarvie** , despite the name of the forum, not all mundane and pointless stuff is appropriate for starting a thread. Just posting stats is not okay – there’s nothing about it to invite others to join in a conversation with you.

If you want to discuss your exercise regime, you may do so – if you include other information besides reps and weights.

Don’t do this again.
