Why do fools lie about their bench?

[HighIntensity]

it seems that there still is the myth that the "BENCH" is everything

and this leads to a purpensity of lies, I have this one kid come up to me and explain that while he has only been lifting for 6 months and weighs bout a buck fifty he flat benches a wopping 300 pounds. I felt like saying lets see it right now, but I really just wanted him to stop talking to me and broadcasting "what do you think about dbol?" as loud as he could...

why lie?

lol, what a fucking moron. This fuckin dumb kid in high school that was about 5'11, 140lbs said he could bench 250. I said oh yeah? Thats pretty good. Then I said thats crazy for someone your size, I dont know if I believe you. I then asked him to prove it and he said ok, I do it all the time. We then went over to the bench press and put 250lbs on, he looked shocked like he never saw a bar with that much weight on it before. I told him to do it and I would spot him. Well he couldnt get it off the rack so I helped him get it off. I still wanted to show him he couldn't do it so I let him try it. He lowered it so fast it just hit his chest and it didnt budge at all, it didnt even bounce. I then lifted it off him and he said, holy shit thats heavy, and I said, well thats 250lbs. Fucking dumb kid.

The bench has become like the dick. Those with nothing like to spout off like they've got a big one, and those of us with a big one keep our mouths shut and unleash it only when appropriate.

I love to see shit like that, kids thinking they can bench huge numbers beacuse they did it on a nautilus machine, so that is equal to free weight....lol

LOL everyone is caught up in how much they can bench it seems.
I was into powerlifting and got my bench up to 330lbs(without my bench press shirt by the way)@165lbs body weight. I hit 350lbs@165BW in a competition(with my bench press shirt) and about 3 weeks before comp I hit 365 with my shirt on and hit 300x2 raw. At the time I felt strong as hell blah blah blah. Now I dont train as a powerlifter and I am more concerned with my overall strengths and health, hell I even started running. It feels sooo good not to worry about making my bench press or squat or whatever go up. I enjoy making everything go up and improving all around.

.....I was shopping today and some young kid asked me how much I benched......I looked at him and I don't bench....he seemed astounded and then asked "how'd you get so big".....I answered "lots of sit ups and push ups!"

Not that I care how much people lift, but I'm much more impressed by how much guys can squat or deadlift
