Why do fools lie about their bench?

True, I'm sure he was exaggerating to get his point across, but when I see that I start to think it is more drugs than training hard. I haven't seen anyone that strong yet in my new gym, but I do know there are at least a couple who are in the 4xx's. I should be there in a few months

Well i'm just the oposite ,I dont like to see anyone let down when they confuse machines and free weights ,but i dont like them guys in my face acting bad either lol . Anyway i went out to eat the other night with my family and people i didnt even know was coming up to me and asking man how much you bench i would tell them i dont know i dont just go train to see my what my max bench is but i can knock out a set of 10 with 315 lbs on most days and then they would just go oh, like they thought i should be doing reps with 500 these people dont realize how much 315lbs is to most people esp for 10 reps, idiots and i'm a little guy.

Thats still about a 400# bench, people don't seem to realize that reps take some work!

hey bro.....my buddy will be the first to tell you it was the sauce.....thats not the point....the point is is once you get to a certain point you cant cheat the weight up.....that guy is saying he'd rather see 250 benched perfect form well im saying that if youre gettin 4 plates your form is already perfect cause you cant cheat at that weight.

I get it, sust got me 65 pounds on my bench, and now I'm slightly above that. Cheat the weight up? LoL... Bouncing is one thing, half reps (I see that all the fucking time), strength and size are not always 1:1, I have no idea if I look like the strength level I'm at (neither of which are that great).
