Ummm…genius, I didn’t claim that I could bench 405 at a bodyweight of 235. In fact, I specifically said that I’ve never tried that.
It was nearly three years ago (Sept 1, 2005, to be exact; I posted it on a Getbig thread, after I pulled it off). At that time, my bodyweight was 252, NOT 235.
Nor did I claim that I was “lean”, when I did it. As a matter of fact, one of the reasons that I STOPPED using one of my favorite weight gainers is due to the extra fat I put on while bulking up in 2004 and 2005. Yes, I reached my size and strength goals. But, my waist took a beating for it. I could barely see my abs; the handles got thicker, and my arms didn’t have a biceps and triceps. They were just two big limbs.
I mentioned that two years ago on the Natual Bodybuilding forum, LONG before you ever came to this site, Deicide.
And, O ye in desperate need of “Hooked on Phonics”, the quote of mine that you woefully misused says that I’m a “LEANER” 235. That is, I’m leaner now than I was at 252. I estimate that my current bodyfat is 19-20%. That, O blubbering one, is “leaner” than the 25% or so bodyfat I was carrying at 252.
Unlike you, I didn’t (and don’t) blubber about how poor my genetics are or sing woe-is-me songs, putting on sackcloth and ashes upon reaching my 30th birthday, as you’ve been doing for months. I do the best I can with what I have. To date, every goal that I once thought I’d have to use steroids to achieve, I’ve reached WITHOUT THEM.
No bleating, no excuse-making!!!
Now, the challenge for me is to replicate the size and strength I had, minus the 40+ inch waist or the mega-sized rump I sported back in ’05 (although my wife digs my big booty).
