well, it depends on what your aiming for.
but generally, if your not hoping for some next thing, id say its good, and i think you know that, just want people to point it out.......
so ill be the first to say, "you should be very proud" ...
:P

11% (or is it 12) is said to be the "ideal" percentage for the average person. It's a healthy amount (as in it coushins your orgins) and it manages to keep you looking good at the same time. It's pretty low for a powerlifter though, so good work. Peace.
