Wouldn't normally have a clue about leg size but as I've just had an operation on my hip, they have measured them to check the difference between the good one and the bad one (a whole inch!!!!). Spent years trying to get smaller legs and now I need to make them bigger/ stronger again, doh!

Anyway, stats are:

height: 173cm
weight: 78kg
leg: 64cm
deadlift: 170kg
squat: not done these for years so not a clue
current boulder level: not relevant as can't boulder atm.

As a bonus extra: I was sat in a bar in Kalymnos in October and some guy came up and asked if he could measure my arms, turns out they are 38cm or so. Weirdo.

What does it all mean???

Sharratt, how big are your arms????!!!!!!!

It's one of those grades that has an aesthetically simple linear progress and isn't readily confusable with two other almost identical but contextually different grading systems already in existence. I believe if you want to translate it into gobbledegook, it approximates to 7a/7A/F7A/Font7a or something. Bawbag.

Just over 43cm I have just been the gym but did legs so a bit of blood does pump into extremities' 😉

I wanted see what squat max was.did 1 full squat with 170.at the most maybe 1 or 2 kg more is possible

I was so confused - I thought you were saying you just went to the gym, did legs, and they're only 43cm  :o

Mark, your arms are bigger than Moose's quads!

If I measure 20cm form the knee it's 50cm, but 58cm at the widest - I do have pretty massive thighs consider my lack lack of squatting/deadlifting strength  :(

So,

height: 182cm
weight: 74kg (a guess, don't have scales here)
leg: 50cm (20cm from knee, or 58cm max)
deadlift: 70kg
squat: 50kg
current boulder level: 7A quick, probably 7B if I got the finger out.
F7b fairly quick, second go ish.

I actually failed at this. I sneaked in to the missus sowing room to get the tape measure, lifted up part of her sowing box to find. Ended up with needles cotton reels every where , shoved it all back with the plan to blame one of the cats if challenged about the mess.
