DBC...some people limit themselves. That's what separates us. Let the herd thin.

Limit myself? You have got to be shitting me. I have never ever missed a workout, all I do is think about the gym, I berely ever miss meals and if I do I try to make them up with a protein shake. Yea I limit myself. I actually went from a skinny 183lbs to a bulked up 258lbs in less than 2years, yes I limit myself.

Also I don't wanna hear this guy did this or this guy did that, yea like I said there is a 6year old kid who benches 200lbs. It's very impressive but it is rare. I am very impressed if the guy can bench 235 at the bodyweight of 185 and 6'3, but like I said before ... I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE DO IT IN PERSON.

Why does everyone take everything offensively? I have the right to state my mind.

Since DBC's post was obviously refered to me, yes I think it is safe to assume you were refering to me by saying "some people limit themselves."

It's never "safe" to assume.

DBC, Liftbig, and others that train with the best of the best...the exceptions beyond exception...have a very skewed idea of what the norm is capable of. I'm guilty of this too. I was simply telling DBC that those numbers, while motivating, are not typical. Most people will never do that. His perception of reality and reality are not one.

At the same time, I believe that if more people didn't limit themselves, we'd find the norm performing at a much higher level.

Most people didnt believe I could lift what I said I could either, especiialy my deadlift strength, but once I posted some videos they pretty much shut up.....

I believed you, but you still left me speechless.

Yours is a little different since you have a picture up in your avatar that actually looks very strong ...

The numbers you posted look normal for your size, I just find some of these numbers difficult to believe since I was no where close to them at their size and some now too.

Spatts,

Everyone assumes, it is a part of life ... weather you want to or not all of our thoughts are assumptions. I just made the assumption based on what I saw since his comments were directed at me and you jumped in and said "some people limit themselves." I'm sorry if I jumped into wrong conclusions.
