Bench Article Sept. Monster Muscle

[solidj55]

Well I know most people admired Powerlifterjay and I know alot of people(including myself) have asked Imnotdutch for help and seemed to like both of them very well. As for me, thats horse shit, no one on here looks up to me lol, thats a fucking joke. I started out on here just like everyone else, I havent done any big name meets or anything and no one knows who I am in the powerlifting world so I am not respected. Hell there have been times I couldnt get responses to posts on here because they were not Westside related. The only people that would answer them would be powerlifterjay, Imnotdutch, and The Mann. I just happen to be a guy that bench pressed 350lbs in the 165lb weight class, nothing extrodinary just something for me to brag about. I wish someone would have told me sooner that I was a respected board member so I wouldnt have acted this way.

Well, I'm sorry you underestimate the quality of your posts. I've always enjoyed them. I'd love to hit 365 at 165, so you can see why I might find your numbers motivating.

I have a better chance of benching 365 than weighing 165. LOL

Well thanks for the comment but I am done with this board. I said I wasnt posting anymore on this board and I am not, I should have stopped the first time I said it but I didnt so this time I am serious. This is it for me on the powerlifting board.

Good thing I read AR regularly.

...best of luck on your new job. I meant what I said.

Dammit, how come all the good stuff happens when I'm in bed?

Just a few comments......


I remember Project saying that about turning the board into what you want it to be. The board always was what I wanted it to be...it was the way that alot of people liked it. Little bullshit, straight answers. I cant see the way to get that back. And as I said before, I dont have time to waste changing a board to my tastes. This is one of the reasons, as I told Spatts, I dont post here much anymore (excuse the lousy English.......I'm a teacher......thats my excuse and I'm sticking to it).

Regarding who is being treated like a child.......well some posts come across like the author is talking down to somebody. I had a long ass response typed out but I deleted it because it would lower the tone again.

Regarding Solids comment concerning the responses to non-Westside posts. His were some of the few posts that I felt obliged to answer. The reason being that I knew he would get little help if I didnt jump in.

Finally, to mimic Solids thoughts concerning peoples attitudes to him.......or in my case, attitudes towards me. I would hope that somebody would hold the opinion of people with a proven track record above mine. I cant lift for shit......my numbers are on AR if you dont believe me . I sure as hell dont know anything about equipment.......and I am quite inexperienced. I am one of the people who should be asking and listening instead of talking. Maybe people are mixing up respecting somebody as a person and respecting somebody as a lifter. I respect people automatically (that doesnt always come across well ).....respecting somebody for their lifting or lifting knowledge is something different.

BTW Solid.....that is a great bench. And The Mann and Jay have helped me a great deal too. Without them I would be a poor lifter instead of a mediocre one hehehe.

Finally, Spatts you must be mixing me up with somebody else. I wont be at the Southern States (did I get that right?) unless somebody gets me a plane ticket. I'm in the UK.

I was referring to PLJ and Solid on that one. Sorry I wasn't more clear.

When I first came here I spent almost all my time on the women's board, and merely read other forums. Your posts were articulate, accurate, and helpful. Unlike other members, I value your posts irrespective of meet experience.

[Screwball]

Hmmmmm, I have nothing constructive to say. This is a meaningless post on a meaningless thread so that I can "up" my post count.

 

[The Shadow]

fuck you for your little inside bullshit with Spatts about your "growing case"

Interesting as I was NOT referring to you...if you have a problem with me act like a man an pm me about it...till then pipe down Nancy
