    yep extremely annoying....pretty much when someone asks me this i just right them off as a poser.....my bench ain't that impressive anyway regardless of how big I am....usually stupid frat boys that ask this question.......those worthless male specimens that only train arms and chest and workout solely to attempt to improve their chances with equally pathetic women

    well ok well let me rephrase my question, how much did your bench go up from the muscle growth that resulted from the gear that was used

    I love the squat, not my best lift admittedly but i find when my squat goes up so do all my other lifts. More than a coincidence i feel

    it's not that they don't want to work out, they just want to do something easy like spend 20 minutes on a tread mill. Because God forbid if they did something that made them lose their boobs. [guys don't know this, but most girls are dumb and don't do chest exercises because they think there is such thing as target fat loss]. Moral of the story.. let me reiterate.. Girls are dumb.

    Because the bench wrack is bolted to the floor, I just try to bench that and lift the whole gym up.

    Actually my best ever has been 130 kilos for one rep. Dunno what that is in pounds.

    I never even ask people what they bench or squat anymore for a few reasons:

    1) everyone always adds a few lbs to whatever they really did.

    2) No one ever uses the same form as the next guy. One guy might go half way down and then back up and count it. another guy might have his spotters hands on the bar the whole time. The next guy might bounce it off his chest for momentum. Some guys arc their whole body off the seat including their butt, etc.
    Same with squats. some guys go half way down and count it.

    3) Some guys wear benching shirts or leg wraps and leave that little bit of info out when telling the next guy their max.


    In my opinion, the squat doesnt count unless you can basically place a marble on the top of your thigh and it stays still and roles in toward your body. (parallel to below parallel)

    And the bench doesnt count unless you lower the bar to your chest, pause it for a one count, and go back up to complete extension.

    lol, it wasn't meant literally. it's an expression our coaches used to use meaning that if hypothetically it could roll forward, you aren't low enough.

    We actually used to have to tap our butts to a seat top or bar to ensure that it was an actual parallel squat, otherwise it didnt count.

    good stuff.....in high school the coaches there let kids get away with all kinds of stupid shit on squat....always pissed my brother off cuz a kid "beat" him but his depth was like 4 inches compared to my bro who goes all the way down
