Matt was strong and now Matt is huge.
My lifts at 170:
345 bench press.
520 deadlift.
385x2 squat [contest form, absolutely ATG].
I could have probably gotten 405+ on that squat. Admittedly, I neglected legs. Had I trained it like chest have probably hit 465+.
I've had other good lifts in their too - like a 750-lb tire flip, six times in 60.5 seconds, and doing the farmer's walk with 250-lb per hand for 80 feet in 48.93 seconds, and pulling a city bus, and getting 250x17 on the bench and 315x8. These are all at 170 and drug-free / supplement-free, and mostly CALORIE free, LOL.
I just don't even grasp how Walter Sobchak wouldn't consider that strong, or at least strong for my size. Honestly, it's a bit delusional. And frankly, it just messes with me a little...only on Getbig can you be in the top 1% of strength, and beyond the top 0.1% of strength for your size and be considered weak.
There are a ton of negative things you could say about me that are negative that I wouldn't think twice about. But I just don't understand how my strength level is one of them.
At the very least, I consider myself strong for my size. I consider that a pretty objective thing, but...apparently not.
But I do appreciate you speaking truthfully about it, IroNat.
I am not an egomaniac. I'm pretty realistic. I could program my own strength training routine quite well, with success. But bodybuilding is different, and I appreciate having you on here to help me with this.

I have to say, the compliments have been out of hand [IRL]. I love it.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to do another cycle again next year.
