Why do fools lie about their bench?

[MoreBeefPlease]

what i would like to know is why guys that weighs a buck fifty can stand around in their wife beaters and upsidedown backwards visors and shoot everyone looks when they are benching 135lbs. and why a guy of that stature can go to a gym wearing a wife beater and no one says a thing to him. but a guy who has size and looks good, wears one and everyone gives him shit about showing off.

It all comes back to vanity and insecurity.Guys that put up alot of weight are usually quiet.They have nothing to say to anyone else,work hard and leave.They have nothing to prove to anyone else.Are strong people showing off when they lift heavy sums of weight?not usually as they need alot of wieght just to maintain a size that they worked hard to acheive.

I'm presonally at the point where I don't goto the gym as much as I once did.I go there when my shoulders and knees aren't hurting so much.Heavy weight is blowing em out.I don't pay any attention to other people.If your the man everyone pays attention to you.

For my strenght i am a pretty small guy. Most people that see me bench or do any exercise are usually like wow. I will have to admit that it is a pretty good feeling to be as strong as someone twice your size. i dont see anythingh wrong with that, and i never brag about my bench or strenght for that matter.

IMO, i couldnt give a shit how much someone can lift.........i just care about how i look when i'm doing it........i would be more impressed with a guy doing 250 in perfect form rather than some idiot with 4 plates bouncing and throwing the shit all around

I hate when guys will ask do you lift and then you'll be like ya and they'll go what do you bench so they can lie and say they bench how ever more than you like there the man.When ever anyone asks me I'm just like I have no idea I don't max out and I leave it at that keeps them guessing...

Get a load of this...

My nieces boyfriend started asking me questions yesterday. First he asks me what i shrug. I tell him i do 225lbs barbell shrugs for 10 reps (3 or 4 sets). Then he tells me that he can shrug 800lbs. on the machine for reps, but only 400lbs in free weights.
Then he asks, "how much do you squat?"
I tell him, "frankly i don't do squats." "I hate them and only do them over the summer."
Then came the dreaded question, "whatcha bench?"
I told him "i not sure of my 1 rep max, but i workout with 235lbs for 3 sets of 5 reps."
Then he tells me i need to do squats to get my bench up.
"Ya, i know" i say, "but i just don't like to work out my legs."
He says "but you could easily add 20lbs to your bench if you squat."
"I know, I know." I say, "i'm just lazy."
So then i ask him, "what do you squat?" and he says
"I don't squat either."

and the moral of the story is.......... both of you are lazy asses with little chicken legs.

no offense but i doubt you'll see many people bouncing four plates and if they do they wont be for very long.......a good friend of mine at the gym benches 5 plates a side and that is alot more impressive than 250 "controlled" whatever that is........
