Learned a valuable lesson last night...

[The Shadow]

...no matter how big and bad you THINK you are - there is ALWAYS someone bigger and badder around the corner.

Doing bench last night and was about to sart my last set with 315, a short stocky guy walks in and asks if he can work in with me. No problem. I do my set and he crawls under the 315 w/o a warm-up. Little did I know - that WAS a warm-up.

Procedes to do 5 easy reps.
405 - 5 easy reps
455 - 5 easy reps
495 for a single
545 for a single
585 for a single........



....turns out he is an Elite Bencher with a best gym lift of 625 pounds.....at 210


....I staggered across the gym from fatigue due to helping him strip off all those 45's.


Good motivation though.

HA! HA!!

Those short stocky fuckers piss me off. Three inch fucking arms!

HA! HA!!

that lift was with wrist wraps only - no bench shirt - he will probably hold the World Record by the end of the year.


Get this - his stroke depth was 8 inches......


....now his legs are a different story - hehehehehe

 

[beastboy]

HA! HA!!

Those short stocky fuckers piss me off. Three inch fucking dicks!

Must be a pretty personal gym you work out at......

thick chest + short arms = great bencher (most of the time)

Hey Corn,

About a month ago I was getting ready to bench when an old man walked in and asked if he could work in with me...Old fucker had a cane....I was polite and said sure....always willing to help.

We warmed up a bit, and I told him that I'd help him put weights on and off....he smiled and said thanks...

We talked and turned out he was from Vegas and 72 years old and just had a hip replaced and getting back into the gym to rehabilitate himself....He was in my area visiting his daughter.

He did 315 for 6 reps and smiled.....all I could do was stare in disbelief.....he later told me after a set of 3 reps at 365 that he was the senior bench press champion in his region...It was very motivational, and humbling at the same time....

Never to old, nor to young to learn respect and humility in this sport....I can olny hope that if I live to be 72 years old, I can wipe the smirk of a cocky fuckers face like he did mine....

Once I was squatting 835, when this 8 year old girl came in and asked if she could work in, I laughed and said sure "go ahead", this girl put the 835 on her back and lunged around the gym 2 times, after that, without putting the bar down, she switches it from her back to her front delts (cleaned that bitch) and did a set of 25 reps, front squats. Your never too old to drop acid in the gym. peace

One time I was deadlifting 95 pounds and some lady came up to me and kicked me in the solar plexus and called me a bitch.

Sorry about that...I bet her $100 bucks she wouldn't do it. I still feel bad about that one.
