Don't you hate the question "how much do you bench?"

[spongebob]

When someone asks me that I just think, "they know nothing about lifting weights".
[RANT]
I was at the gym this morning, this hot blonde I see a lot talked to me and is like "how much do you bench?",, I say "I don't",,, shes like "what? all guys bench press",, i say "i only do incline DB presses,, no bench, I think its overated",, she was like "well how heavy of dumbells do you work out with" i say "80s for like 6 reps", shes like "so you can bench 160 right?",,,, at this point I'm just annoyed "yeah something like that" and I walk away,, she says "well you look good" as I'm leaving...
now why the fuck didn't I just tell her how much I 'think' I can, something like 325 (hey, I only weigh 150 @ 5'5"). i could have been 'in it', but I had to be a dick,, i havent talked to a female for monthes and I go off acting like an asshole at my first chance,, oh well,,,,

this was a clever way to post your benchpress stats.

I usually say my farting skills are better, lets discuss those for a while...right here in this little closet...then they get all teary eyed and scream.

what the fuck?!
you mean you didn't even punch her in the stomach?
man, sometimes I really wonder...

and next time, just tell her that you are well on your way from moving to the powder blue weights and the pink are feeling light - and someday, the shiny chrome ones.

FUCK YES!

That has got to be one of the most annoying questions of all time. What really gets me is when some dipshit who has no real lifting experience whatsoever asks me that and when I tell him he says something like, "Oh, that's decent.", or ,"That's all? My cousin's buddy's friend, Cornfed Billy Bob, does 500 for about three reps." These people have no concept of what it feels like to roll four or five hundred pounds across the floor, much less lie in a supine position, lower it down to your chest, and then power it up to lockout. A buddy of mine used to just answer that question by saying, "Oh, probably about a hundred pounds less than the guy you're about to tell me about." I figured when I got my bench up high enough this shit wouldn't happen anymore, but I don't think it would matter if you could push 700.

I don't know what kind of gyms you all work out at, but at my hardcore gym that's in this murky cave of nomadic bodybuilders we pretty much just ask how much each other can tricep kickback and then we admire ourselves and go next door for one of those protein smoothies. i like to blow my straw wrapper at people who come walking in the door. if they get pissed and start shit with me, i flash a tri at them and it's like over before it began. then i inject synthetic hormones into my eyelid and blink out reps of 50 and 100.

supersizeme:

Do those higher reps work for you? I've been hanging a #10 paper clip on my eyelash and trying to blink out a good 5-8 reps, but so far I've seen very little results. Do you think 100 rep sets would be a good way to shock my eyelids out of their plateau? What kind of synthetic hormones are you using? I've been spot injecting 1cc of Winstrol into each 'lid every day. People keep saying my eyes look puffy, but I know they're just jealous. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

I just say that I dont know because I havent worked out in 5 years. They are like WTF, are you serious. "yeah, I'll run a couple times a week, but I havent touched a weight or machine in years."

i bench 860........really

 

[casavant]

860? Is that all? I've got a buddy that justs bucks hay all day on the farm and he was at my gym one time and he did like, 925 for three times and he never lifts weights at all and his momma just feeds him real good and stuff.

The important thing is did you learn your lesson here? When hitting on a chick, check your principles at the door.
