Insecure guys and the how much can you bench question???

[mesmorph78]

The best answer I ever  heard a bodybuilder give is, " I don't bench when I work out so I don't know."

ha ha ha

[EZ$]

"About twice a year..." is a pretty good answer.

ahaha

this I will have to remember

I get asked all the time about my lifts. It's what happens when you fill out a 2xl.

What do you mean by "filling out".  I use xxl shirts too, xl shirts are too small after multiple washes, some are instantly too small. I'm not that big by the way.

I heard a guy the other week say that he leg pressed 6,000 pounds...
I asked, was it a full rep, or a 2 inch ROM...
Sometimes, man, Sometimes...

[BILL ANVIL]

I always tell them how many times I do 225 just because it sounds better

Maybe you fill them out with fat. I fill them out with my shoulders, back, and chest.

So Im in this store today ... got my stuff on my way out the security guy... tall 6'5 Albanian guy asks me how much..I can bench ..I answered the way I usually answer this dumb question.... "enough to get my chest like this" but this guy literally begs and begs eventually I said 425 lbs he says what is that in kg which is about 195 kg or there about .. he then replies is that all ? you are a lot bigger than me and bench 120 kgs I thought you benched 220 (600lbs)...    ::)i just looked at him shaked my head and laughed and said not many bench casually bench 220kg.

I can safely say Ive never seen a guy and asked him how much he benched... no matter how big the guy is ... even pro size
what i might ask is if he has a standout bodypart that's amazing I might ask what exercises he finds most beneficial for that body part.
anyone else with any :
How much can you bench stories?

You should tell him "I never bench - I only train my legs at the gym" 

[dyslexic]

Why "safely" say?


Tell him "I don't bench, it destroys the rotator cuff tendons"

Jesus was a competitor in the first Worlds Strongest Man contest. His favourite events were the yoke walk for distance, and the crucifix hold for time.

Not much is mentioned about his bench pressing ability.

He was also on a zero carb diet for 40 days..

I hate that....guys who count up all the plates, calculate the poundage, brag about it, yet u NEVER see them squat. NEVER.

Lots of guys like this in the gym load up the machine with all the weights they can find.... Then proceed to do literally 2 inch reps ... No exaggeration .... Some don't even remove the safety catch so you know they are not even doing 1/8th of the movement . After then you will see them at the squat rack bareley managing 225 .... Makes me laugh... But that's how guys are all ego... And those guys never make good progress

When did u last weigh yourself tho....hard to believe that's all u weigh.

[mass 04]

I look at the up and down with disdain, say, "more than you..do you even lift?", and walk away while making sure I flair my lats and tighten my glutes.

[mesmorph78]

yeah I weighed myself a couple weeks ago... 15.6
i have very tiny joints ... i probably look more than i weigh

This guy came up to me at my doctor's as I was being anally raped paying my bill.

"Three?" he asked.

I didn't acknowledge him. 

"Three?" he asked again.  I realized he was talking to me.

"Say again?" I said.  He smelled like piss.

"Three hundred.  I bet you can bench way over 300, 'cause I can do 250, and ... ," he pointed to himself, pointed to me, then held his hands out very wide.

"I don't know," I told him.  "I only do dips.  Always have."

He looked like a tweeker, so reading his expressions was tricky.  Still, I think his eyes bugged out even more than usual and he sounded incredulous enough when he said, "No way!  You're putting me on, cuz!"

I smiled, gathered my paperwork and started toward the door before I said, "We wouldn't want that now, would we?"

I tell other people I just do push-ups and other bullshit, like, "Gee, I don't know.  I stopped caring about the weight once I got over 5 bills."  Ask a stupid question ...
