Not if I had boxing gloves on, you'd run like you did from TA: http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=517109.0  

By the way - the post of yours I quoted above sucks too.  Add it to your list you dicklicking goo gurgler.

The average dude in the street cannot bench 135 pounds, i see many guys in the gym with two 35 pounds on the bar doing bench press and I am like what the fuck so many weak dudes walking around I could seriously hurt one of these guys with one punch.

lol I'm sure all mature people think like you    Probably even those guys benching 115 think to themselves, "whoa this guy could seriously hurt me with one punch since he's bigger and stronger."

I will tip my hat to Foozle. It is a dedicated gimmick, that soley follows the trainer around. 

This.

[funk51]

At the age of 18 I already had 5 years of lifting under my belt.

i started when i was in the womb.

[James28]

When I started training I think I did something like 110lbs for 3 or 4 reps.  

No you didn't.

Not saying you couldn't do it now or twice the weight, but you didn't lift 110lbs right away. That's 50kg dumbbells in old money. I've been training 18 years and besides myself, I've seen less than 5 people lift that or beyond. For real that is, not an internet fantasy or blatant lie. Less than 5 people AND that's trained people. Only once have I gone heavier than the 50kg dumbbells and that was the 60s which I managed 3 reps before failing into oblivion. There was in need to go higher than 50s as that shit blast your muscles just as much as the 70kg dumbbells would.

So no my friend, you're mistaken on those numbers.

Dude, I meant a 110lb (50kg) barbell. First time I tried the exercise and got a few reps with it.  

I doubt I could handle 110lb dumbells now, let alone back then.

A big bench press doesn't mean a hard punch. nor does lifting weights give you fighting abilty.

[eldoradospandex]

its a sad man who sees a person exercising and thinks 'i could definitely punch the fuck out of them'

How about forearm strength?

I can remember an old movie from the 1940's where the older boxer tells this kid to squeeze a ball every day and "it'll turn your punches into TNT"

The Average due doesn't know at least 3 Weider principles

Alot of us on here probably used to have that exact Weider weight set (bar,plates,collars) back in the day.

Very few people in my gym go past the one plate a side on squats are benches and a plate and a half for deadlifts.
I have trained with a guy on and off for over 10 years now and he has never benched one plate a side.

Aaaah, my bad. Understood that wrong. Sorry. Yes, 50kg barbell is totally doable for newbies. They'd struggle with stabilizing the weight during movement but it's doable.

I've not benched since last year so not sure what I can lift now. On dumbells I'm lifting the 35kg's per hand at the moment and won't go above the 40kgs. That's more than enough. My days of pushing the 50s are long fucking gone.

doent take much bench power to deliver a fist into teeth, nose, or chin.

or poke an eye with a finger.

I wasn't totally untrained the first time I benched/used weights. I had been doing push ups daily for a few months previously.
I had heard somewhere that you're lifting two/thirds of your bodyweight when you do a push up - so I guessed that I would easily rep out 50kg on the bench as I weighed around 75kg at the time. However, I remember being surprised by how much more difficult it felt.

haha not quite, the fact while on the leg press today i was listening a old man telling every one about his upcoming hip replacement says it all .
Im not joking i watched an ild man doing machine rows the other day and he was using a walking stick to get between machines.
