oh Kane, but you are a Ferrarri
not sure about other countries like Canada, but here in the U.S.A. the news stations seem to get off on filming the fattest people around eating iced cream and spouting off a report about how so many Americans are fat/overweight that being fat/overweight is the norm, and people that workout hard are obsessive-compulsive, plus if you look like a huge bodybuilder then you have to be the least flexible person ever and dumb as a rock. then the person who lifts weights and is lean like an olympic swimmer is self-obsessed/borderline narcissistic, and a womanizer.
if you can't be compared to what the "average" person is perceived to be, then who should you be compared to?
I'm kind of curious why a physiotherapist would say something like the average person's joints not being able to handle a very heavy weight. I've been under the impression that the "average" person can lift weights enough to get their joints strong enough to handle that load.
also, a lot of those scales officially put out by the government "health officials" such as the average weight for someone's height and the food pyramid are (if I remember the disclaimer correctly) meant to be used to measure the sedentary individual, and do not account for athletes of any kind (well, maybe a long distance runner)
