internet muscle vs real world muscle

[Kidda]

I am sure some people lie but it just seems like a stupid thing to do to me!! It's not like anyone knows you on here so what's the point - plus if your on here for advice as I'm sure most people are (I am) then people can give you the best advice if they know your true stats, lifts etc. Bloody Attention Seekers - lol!!!!

How many guys do you think lie online about their weight, body fat, max lifts and so on.

I mean I have called guys out in the gyms i have worked out at over the years.
guy claimed he had 21 inch arms I brought a tape and threw it at him and said prove it and that i was tored of his bullshit.
measured 18 cold then he pumped them to 18 3/4
far cry from 21

Guys have claimed to bench over 500lbs raw with no belts , no elbow wraps shirts nothing.
I talked to the gym owner and set up a saturday powerlifting meet with a 100$ cash prize for anyone to break the 500lb bench mark or
and break 1800 total.
(No one pressed over 450lbs and totaled over 1500)


So do you guys think people online lie and if so how much?

Me I know I'm not the strongest or weakest guy or biggest or smallest I fall somewhere right in the middle and I'm not afraid to admit it,but its also what keeps me striving for more.

Why do you care?
Sounds like you have some type of ego problem.

 

[holy ghost]

What would be the point?

I'm probably on the smaller side in here. 6' 215 lbs at what i estimate to be around 10% bf. Never claimed to be like needsize either. Haven't the faintest idea of my 1 rep max lifts as i never do anything less than 5 but i'm no powerlifter.

My point is this: I get laid on a daily basis. I feel i hold my own at the gym for someone who only started lifting at age 28 (34 now). So why the fuck would i care enough about virtual aqaintances' opinion to lie about my stats?

Don't care
I'm just tired of guys comming up to me blabbering about
" i used to press this , i used to lift that "
or " i have a uncle twice your size"

It becomes very commical and if they want comedy I THROW IT RIGHT BACK AT THEM !
Except I make the joke out of them.
I mean some guys its cool and i know they were juiced up back in the day and some guys have the look to back the claims.

But when bubba joe comes up to me a buck 50 soaking wet and tells me of all these outrageous claims about relatives of his that can press a volkswagen then squat a bus .
I really would actually like to meet the people and see them in person.

Now if someone told me that powerbuilder squated a mobile home and ran down the highway with it on his back .i would prob beleive it .
thats muther fucker is a beast and trains all out balls to the walls.!!!!!!!

 

[holy ghost]

people really come up to you and ask those questions?

I would check them and rush them for disrespecting a gangster

You should check them for disrespecting you and doubting you dog.

 

[eddymerckx]

i think over 90 percent on the internet lie about their lifts...prolly like 95 percent in person lol

i don't have to lie--i'm a weakling and i only wear tank tops because i like the smell of my underarms

 

[Stacemranger]

Lying about yourself online is ridiculous. Who are you trying to impress?
