Even more so now, especially with as much as schools and parents are pushing kids more and more. I have alot of high school kids I train and the parents are so fanatical it really pisses me off. It's not uncommon for a 16, 17 or 18 year old to bench 275 or more.

Most parents baby their kids today. Kids today are soft. when I was growing up my parents said listen to the coach and shut the fuck up. Kids today are spoiled lil pussies.

Pasadena High School...nope, never trained during highschool but did at Bulldog some later years...do you remember the gym Fanatics? I think that was the name...Dennis Cuddehy (or something like that last name) worked there and also went to TC?

hahahaa, oh brother, a 400 pound shirtless bench press by a 165 pound, 15 year old high school sophomore, i've heard it all now.

Totally possible I know of a kid ( at the time ) who was in high school who benched slightly over 400 pounds and he was well under 200 pounds maybe a 175 pounds he had the Massachusetts record for his age at the time .

Big deal, we've had a presents in other countries for a hell of alot longer than 10 years.

Hi WMD!

Wasn't George Tenent Clinton's boy??

[medz zeppelin]

Ten years? I'd say we're there for life.

[SirTraps]

It is a big deal because first it was about WMDs (LIE), then it was all about "democracy and spreading freedom" (LIE).

        Its all about colonialism, stealing oil, setting up a puppet govt and staying there against the will of the occupied.

        This isnt a moral or just policy, its stupid and it will not work.

[240 is Back]

Wasn't George Tenent Clinton's boy??

Yes.  Why did Dubya fire all of Clinton's staff but keep on this one guy?  Hmmmmmmm

Also, when Dubya was warned of the 911 attacks and given target date and 5 of the attackers name - on Aug 5 (6 weeks before the attacks) - why didn't he stop them?

Yes, it's a lie.  But yes, it will work.

It's useful to have bases in countries all over the world.  It's great to own 80% of their oil contractually.

I have a question.

WHy do you blame Clinton for 9/11?

Clinton was 9 months retired when it happened.  Bush spent the summer shooting geese and ignoring 29 near-identical intelligence warnings about 9/11.

You're a former clinton voter - I'm not.  I'll let you sit in that wet spot.  But to blame him for something that happened 9 months after he left office?  weak.

(and don't say he let bin laden go - Bush did it to in 2005 in Pakistan, and they admit they did it, so as to not undermine musharraf.  Clinton pussied out for the same reason).

[SirTraps]

Yes, it's a lie.  But yes, it will work.

                          Signed,

                    No its a failed policy and it has already been a waste of 1 trillion dollars.

1. probably because he thought since he was the intelligence director he'd be of some help in his admin.

2. I'd bet anything he gets warned of attacks everyday, everyone is followed up, but which one's are credible? I'm sorry, how many times have we been hit on Clintons watch (and didn't do anything)...............a hell of alot more than on Bush's.

I'll admit WMD was a lie.

but -

Iraq sits on 50 to 75 trillion dolalrs worth of oil.

they signed a contract in 2007 giving control and exploration rights to 80% of that oil to US oil companies to be sold in dollars at any price we choose.

At a 1 tril cost - to gain control of 80% of 50 tril worth of oil... to some ppl, that's a win.

AH.  So Bush showed poor judgment in his hiring?  Odd...

Yeah, these warning came from Isr, germany, and the FBI.  On the same day.  All with identical details.  5 of the hijackers names.  All investigations stopped instantly by exec order.  I guess you blame clinton for that, too?

I love ya joe, but come on... you're blind here.  I'm a repub myself and I suuport this war, and I've been a repub a lot longer than you have.  But this was intentional failue to act, so the attacks could happen, so we could justify a few wars.  THe whole world knows it now.  And only 20% of Americans fail to admit it.

well we should go find those presents and open them! the waiting is the hardest part!

[crownshep]

Well,the first time i read about this wasn`t on here,but in Muscle Digest way back in i think 1981,when they did an article on Joe`s chest workout as a teenager,and without remembering the exact numbers,the numbers Joe states here more or less tally with what was in the magazine.

[240 is Back]

wow, joe was in Muscle Digest as a teenager?  That's damn impressive, seriously.

I believe he moved that weight.  It might not have been competition-quality reps.  I weighed 108 pounds my sophmore year (at 5'10") and I recorded a 170 pound bench in Weights class.  Could I lift that much?  Hell no.  Was it creative spotting and a quarter inch range of motion?  Sure!  But I was so proud of that 170 number... I put that shit on the fridge when I got home.
