I thought this was going to be a shoplifting thread.

You are aware that there are more reasons to lift weights other than mass and appearance?

Probably, though doing things other than lifting are just as good for you, if not better.

To me, lifters are like vegetarians or Jehova's witnesses. You don't give a flying fuck about their beliefs, yet they shove it down your face every chance they get. I get it, lifting is fucking awesome, I cry hot tears of sorrow over all those useful hours I could have spent doing preacher curls instead of fighting gravity on slippery rocks outside. I know, running and climbing and cycling and swimming all fucking suck because they don't give you the gains lifting does, but not everybody in this world is an insecure piece of misery trying to fit in.

Jesus christ, were you bullied by the jocks at school or something? Way to stereotype. It's just weight lifting, it doesn't define you or determine any qualities.

On a flat press (not elevated or inclined), may maximum bench is about 240 pounds. But thats just once or twice up and down and then racked. I never understood this big pissing contest over "max press". It doesn't prove anything. I'd be much more wary of the guy who can press 160 lbs for 15 minutes.

 I haven't tested my limitations yet, but I probably need too. Just been easing back into lifting since I quit nicotine a week and one day ago, today. I got a small home gym so I've been doing butterflys, military press, leg press, etc.. I don't power-lift or anything. I aim for a weight thats 3/4's my threshold and rep till failure.. I know my builder buddies always give me crap because they have these "scientifically" proven routines and such.. I get results though, and my muscle endurance is far superior to those. And.. I've noticed that while I havent seriously dedicated to lifting in about 2 years, I've retained a good amount of my muscle definition.. I could be cut and looking pretty sharp with about a month and a half of work. If they quit or just get sick for a few weeks, their bodies turn to mush.. I'll stick to my method.

I can deadlift around a geo metro in weight.

This why some girls grow up and get beaten/ abused. Without a strong father figure they are sitting ducks waiting to get fucked and chucked. You worthless Beta faggot, join a gym and man the fuck up. I already know who wears in the pants in your relationship.

 Didn't you give a kid up for adoption back on Zoklet?

Urgh, weak.
