Stopping at store.

[NTL]

So yesterday after a awesome shoulder workout I stopped by my usual store to get coffee. As I'm standing there fixing my coffee this truck drive asked me "so what's a big boy like you bench". I looked at him and said I got 135lbs this morning. He looks at me strange and says 135lbs. I said yep 135lbs and got it four times and walked away. I thought it was funny to mess with the guy.

Re: Stopping at store.

strangest question I got when I was in line
a complete stranger walks up to me and ask "didn't the tackling dumb suck to hit in football practice.."
at this point I am in my 40's and so was he ...to be honest I a never played football.
thinking back I suspect he thought I was someone else..

Here is another one. 2 weeks ago me and the wife and my 4 year old was going in the mall to shop. There was a small carnival set up in the parking lot but wasn't open. I asked a cop that was standing outside talking to some mall worker's what time it opened. He tell me 5pm and all so that he hoped he will be in as good of shape as me when he gets my age. Dam it I'm only 45 I'm not a old fart yet.

Re: Stopping at store.

lol, too funny! Fuzo says he just wants to go to the gym and not be bothered Told him to wear a hoodie and tell peeps to get the f away from him. I have the bitchface down patt, no one approaches me. I am to in the zone when I am in the gym though...no eye contact with anyone, unless they are a snake, then they get the beams from my eyes...

Yeah the uni-bomber look works for me ... that and head phones...
I am trying to keep a pace here people....get out of my way... !
Also I will ask someone how many sets they have let if they have been sitting on a piece of equipment especially if they are just sitting...If I get some high number I will say something like "well I have just done 4 other exercises and 5 sets each, while waiting for you .... if you are you going to be that long then I can get it done in between one of your sets... "

do you think that is too much a hint, and I am not even on anything when I said that LOL

Lol I mean really what is the proper response to this question anyways? The OP nailed it. I mean even if u say 650lbs how is jerk off going to know if u are full of shit or not! My buddy can bench 495 at 225 but unless u watch him do it still hard to believe.

Re: Stopping at store.

yeah but benching is pretty unpredictable... I have see a fat ass bastard benching 315 and thought no way when he loaded it up
I saw a 135 lb guy throw up almost 400 at a contest once.( yes he won the % body weight award) ( he had a weird amazing physique, if he didn't have the muscle he would have weighed well under a 100 lbs , un believably small bones and joints )

I also saw a massive dude doing 315 and struggling...the guy was a monster he had to be 270' and ripped, he said benching was never his thing... ( grant he was doing flies with some ridiculous weight )
it is a complete crap shoot , just by looking at a dude you will never know how much they bench

I also saw this 60 + year old woman that had just done aerobic all her life ( she looked 35 tops) , well at 60 there is not many women weightlifters , especially benching , she was setting record after record at the meet ...

Exactly bro. Total crap shoot. There was this Eskimo bitch PL at the gym. She asked for a spot one day so I was like cool lets see what fatty puts up! I get to the bench she has a 10lb and 5 lb plate on each side. I was like wtf she is fucking with me right??? Nope that's what she lifted. I was so confused. Helped her and walked away thinking wtf was that all about?? This older guy at the gym who's 55 and jacked pulled me aside and was like wtf was that all about??? We died laughing thinking wtf!!

Meanwhile Latina can bench 225 and she doesn't bench regularly but she is jacked for sure

Re: Stopping at store.

I've never been big on bench. I mostly do DB on chest but I'll throw in bar every couple weeks and hit 315 for 6-8 reps but it hurts my shoulders so I don't dip in to it too deep
