High school sports
So, I was just wondering what kind of sports you all do. I just graduated from HS but I wanted to see what all everyone else was involved in.
I was from the smallest Nebraska sports class, D-2 12. Did football, discus, shot put, and non-competitive weightlifting.
Football, I was an offensive and defensive lineman. Generally a center on the O-line or a nose guard/tackle defensively (depending on 4 or 3 man front), and rarely an end. We played 8-man.
Discus. Did it for 2 years. Got up to 145' in about 5 months of training my junior year. Injured groin senior year dropped my best to the 130s.
Shot put. Did that for 2yrs as well. Got up to 48' in ~5 months training jr year. Injured groin sr year dropped my best to ~45'
Weightlifting. Got up to a 330lb bench press, and half-squatted 785lbs, with a competition style squat of 550lbs at age 16.
Pics if you have them, curious to see what kinds of interests in sports the rest of you have!

Well i played football in middle school. Wrestled and i mean real wrestling not the WWe stuff. In 7th grade i could leg press 900 pounds. Almost double what the high school kids could. I hurt my back at state wrestling. Hurt my knee at 22 could not leg press to save my life these days.

Bigtim,
Wrestling was my favorite in junior high. But, in high school I wasn't tough enough
Wrestling is by far the most challenging sport out there. Those guys work so hard, and my high school had a reputation for making some darn good wrestlers-- they earned every bit of it.
