whats your excuse for not being a buff strong guy?

[QUOTE="sonofsmeagle"][QUOTE="tocool340"] *Sigh* Whatever, its not all that serious for me to argue about it. You can call it BS all you want, won't change anything. And no, I'm not trolling. Don't gain much from doing so...

Actually, I just decided to count the weights I was using and it would appear that I was actually lifting 180 lbs. So yeah, my mistake. You can still call that BS, makes me no difference...

I started too late. Should've started working out when I was 10 instead of 12. :(

[QUOTE="tocool340"][QUOTE="sonofsmeagle"] yeap still putting money down that you would fail at 150 Do you understand what a bench press is?, you know that you have to take it off the rack and ease it down to your chest then push it up all the way to the top again right? Pushing it up about an inch doesnt count, tho i think you'd struggle with that too.sonofsmeagle

Ummm....no. Like I said, its not all that serious to me to go through great lengths to prove something. Even if I decided to prove it, I won't be using the same weight bench. I'd be using this:

which we also have, to be lifting those weight. I'm not sure if you think I feel 180 lbs is light or not, which its frekkin heavy, but I refuse to risk injuring myself to prove to a bunch of people around the internet of what I can lift...

[QUOTE="tocool340"][QUOTE="GameGuy642003"]

Naw I agree with sonofsmeagle. No way you can do 230lbs with your weight. Im 6ft 170lbs, and I can bench my weight maybe twice, your saying your 145lbs and can bench double your weight?? the numbers just dont add up.

Don't know if someone cares but I believe the 180lb one

There's this guy at my gym that presses with four 45lb discs and he's like 5'8''

So yeah it's possible

[QUOTE="Darthkaiser"]

[QUOTE="tocool340"] Yeah, I edited my post. I counted the weight and it was actually 180lbs, though my step dad said 230lbs. Still sound unbelievable though. But like I said, doesn't really matter to me... BTW, when you double 145, you get 290, which isn't very close to 230...BranKetra

Some people are genetically gifted and have that kind of strength already or they have it as a result of their lifestyles.

I'm pretty sure he wasn't helping me the first 2 tries. Only when I was struggling to lift my third rep was when he came over to help me out...tocool340

[QUOTE="dodgerblue13"] Although I agree with you that people have different starting points, the fact that he is a 6-0, 145 basketball player (if my memory is correct without my searching for his first post) makes his story unlikely. He's gotta be thin to be that tall and only that heavy. [This is statement is assumption: since he's a basketball player, I'm going to assume he has a decent wingspan, and that will only make benching more difficult.] I just think I can relate to his story because I am a basketball player too and benching and basketball don't really coincide. My squat and deadlift benefited from my basketball, but certainly not my bench. Also, back when I weighed 185, I was benching only 95. Now at 164, I'm doing 155. Eventually I'll be close to 150 and bench 180+, but like everyone else said, it takes time. Even for two reps.BranKetra

I'm skinny, therefore being strong is only a cosmetic issue not healthy one.

[QUOTE="tocool340"] I'm not a basketball player. I actually do carpentry work. Lifting lumber and other heavy stuff is definitely helpful. I said in another thread that I only play basketball when I go to the park...

i am not really buff, i am lean and toned. i am 5'10'' and weight 171lbs. i don't think i would want to be huge though.

Went to the gym once. The graphics were ****

It isn't worth it in the long run. If you attempt to be larger then you're physically supposed to it puts strains on ligaments, and muscles. For short term rewards. Then if you don't continue to push yourself in a short time you'll return to your original size. Those big fake steroid dbags end up with fake chicks who spend the rest of their lives talking about how cool they were in highschool when they stock shelves at walmart for a living.

Not really something Im into. Ide rather be slim/a little overweight. Im the sensitive, artistic type. I straighten my hair, and wear makeup... not exactly youre typical gym-going male.

I'll never be buff because of how naturally skinny I am, but I've been working out for a year now, so I'm in pretty good shape. Xx_Socrates_xX

Yup Im lazy but is not fair to say that for some of the others, they have other priorities that keep them from doing so.

[QUOTE="sonofsmeagle"] Its not that were saying someone thats 6ft or 5'8'' cant bench that much for 3 reps but rather someone that is 6ft and 145 pounds cant bench that much. I dont care if you work with lumber that will give you abit of extra strength but at 6ft and 145lbs and suddenly doing weightlifting you wouldnt be able to bench press even 150. its not an assumption its a fact, i remember back when i was 5'8'' and about 140 pounds i couldnt even bench press 100 pounds, and i know fo people that with around the same weight and height who lead fairly active lifestyles couldnt bench anymore either. Now tocool340 is either a troll or a liar trying to make himself sound big on the internet when clearly he has no knoledge of weightlifting because if he did he'd know for dam sure that with his height and weight 180 let alone 140lbs would be out of his reach.horgen123
