strength

[Twist]

I'm not talking about the guys who compete, I get that. I'm talking about the guys who don't try and get leaner because their bench might drop. I'm looking for someone to explain this point of view. If I was 20%bf but could bench 365, I would take a 50lb drop in bench to get to 15%, and I would take a further drop to get lower.

its an ego thing....they pride theirselves on how strong they are and not their looks. Honestly if I didnt compete I would give up 100-150lbs off all my lifts if I could trade it for 10%bf

I've never heard anyone say that before.
