Title: 185 Club
Post by: Hulkotron on September 26, 2011, 07:38:40 AM
This morning at the gym I saw a guy about 6'2", 230 lbs, probably 25%+ bf, wearing a t-shirt from some bumfuck community college football team that proudly proclaimed him as a member of the "185 Club".

The shirt must be to warn fellow gym-goers to keep their distance when he is benching, lest they be forced into orbit around the gravitational center of his weights.

What % of Getbiggers to you suppose are in the 185 Club?

On football teams it's common to define t-shirt "clubs" based on 1-rep maxes or sums of them (e.g. bench + squat).

They use both from what I know, 185 is about 400 pounds, so who knows.
I've heard kg's being used in sport for something weight related, but I can't remember what exactly.

Have you actually spent much time in Canada?  Nobody here that I have ever met reports lifts in kgs.  All the weights are labeled in lbs too, except for olympic lifting weights but those are kgs everywhere and I don't think this fella was C&J'ing 200 lbs anytime recently.

Dude I know lots of foreign dudes at my gym that use kg's for everything. Wouldn't surprise me at all if the college at lots of FOB's. I'm also quite certain where I live there was a kid that did a 200kg for some prize money or some shit and I live no where near you.

What a fag!

OK, I'll admit, I'm a Jack ass enough to consider wearing one of those shirts if I could bench 400+ lbs  but not before that...

Btw I'm in the "bench 300 club" myself!  ;D

So that's a "no" on ever actually being to Canada then.

Who the fuck wears a shirt proclaiming how much they can clean+jerk in kilos.

The reason I asked is because there is a famous nightclub in Germany called the "185 club"


Otherwise he could be one of those elite Cessna pilots. My dad was a "180"

Most definitely.

And as for the lbs vs kg. Every weightlifter going deals in kgs, have you never seen a competition? Still though, as has been said, who the fudge would wear a tshirt saying it?

Now a shirt proclaiming how many times you can jerk off a day may bring some attention and start a trend. ;D
