    Mine is my legs...I have always had very strong legs, like my dad. My arms used to be stronger, but then I got bit in my left arm by a tick and it weakened my arm power....to this day...I thought of this, as all of a sudden, my left arm just started hurting like it used to....when I first had lyme's disease.....I was bit by the tick that ruined my life pretty much for quite a long time, on the inside of the arm .....on the other hemisphere side from the elbow...inside of arm by elbow, in other words...but my legs were always the strongest part of me, anyway.

    Mine are my legs too, even now... I use to dance and I think that made a difference for me. My arms have no strength at all and I'm trying to change that.

    It's pretty universal for me at this point, I would say.

    Legs, though I have not run since June. Been so busy teaching and getting used to this new city. I do not feel comfortable running here yet!

    Same here. But if I had to pick an area I would say upper body and my hands. I've spent years climbing, pulling myself up ropes, etc. while also carrying chainsaws and running them at arms length. That keeps your top end (and core) pretty solid.

    My arms may still be stronger than I think...as I sometimes handle 4 pugs weighing at least 30 pounds each pulling them wth all of their might......

    I don't have much strength to lift really heavy objects but I can hold those heavy objects a lot longer than you'd think.
    My draw back arm for archery is also quite strong, my grips are strong especially right hand.

    my penis.

    really, isn't it the legs for everyone that doesn't have some sort of impairment or something? that's just the way humans are built. even those bodybuilders who completely ignore leg day still have a long way to go before they can bench more than they squat, especially if you take body weight into consideration.

    My legs, or to use an outdated colloquial term “I have hops”

    Um...I seem to remember it being called "ups". ;) Or maybe that was a different thing. :)

    Raw lifting strength and raw power, I'd have to say my legs.

    I'm not entirely sure why. I mean sometimes they are quite thick. But they're never gigantically thick as in heavyweight bodybuilder type.
    It must be the Chinese internal martial arts exercises. Altho I always thought they weren't really for lift strength.

    Upper body, I'm more power ie plyometric strength than brute lifting force.

    i do not regard physical strength as a meaningful factor in a sapient person.

    that it does not need to be, is rather the whole point of sapience.
