I think I missed something.

I think I missed something.

The dude in the background that got manhandled bench pressing 65lbs. Was more fun watching the chick DLing.

Oh, yeah...the woman distracted me. I didn't notice the red box until halfway through the vid.

I went back to watch it again after your reply and saw it. The guy is probably pretty new.

No worries, I was distracted as well.

I miss the days when I didn't need a spotter cuz the weight was so light. For that amount of weight, and the fact that it was an incline bench, his response was perfectly legitimate. Little chance of injury.

Another "solution" (not ideal) is to not use clips, then tilt the bar left to drop off all the weights. Then the right side will be right behind! (ask me how I know.) Of course the problem is the noise and potential danger to other people in the area, since weights can roll. And no I'm not recommending this as an everyday solution, just pointing it out when you might be by yourself and pinned under a heavy weight.

But yea, when the weights get heavier, a spotter or power rack is your friend!

What a weak ****er...im pretty sure that was about 85 lbs.....wtf! My daughter is 3 and she shoulder presses that ****....

We all start somewhere. He is in the gym lifting, so that is a pretty good start toward getting stronger.

[Simpy]

I guess you gotta point but somehow i cant see someone struggling with that light of weight....

Get over yourself. Everyone starts somewhere, and that obviously wasn't light for him. We also have no idea what he ate that day, what he'd done prior to that lift. He's in the gym, trying to better himself and his body. That's all you need to worry about.

Looks like he has long arms, too.

[2nd_chance]

Yeah that was nerve-racking... *yawn*

spotter: Opportunity to fail.

no spotter: Move the weight or possibly die trying

I got respect for the guy. I don't know how many peeps strut around mashing the crap out of the same weights they've been lifting for months. They never push and they never fail so there happy . **** them I had to humiliate my self pressing that kind of weight for 50 reps which of course the press isn't my best lift and **** me it hurt. Still I think getting around that embarrassment is the hardest part of the work out. The goal and the plan are more important than my ego.

Kinda funny this got posted today. I just got back from the gym and there was a new guy there benching and he got caught under the bar. I helped him rerack it and said benching to failure isnt a good idea without a spotter. Lol
Actually benching without a spotter any time isnt the best idea

[deeboklik]

im being sarcastic ...

[deeboklik]

It definately didnt happen....it was a joke

Please feel free to come back in 5 years, or about 50 IQ points, whichever comes first.

No hate: I'm just "smashin on loudmouths"

[Simpy]

Your 3 year old daughter has no shot.

[mcapote3]

LOL that was good, but i must admit that is my biggest worry about not having a spotter. having a chick see me to that haha.

[Marius_Ursus]

So now tell me what im doing wrong with my life?

Acting like King Shit of Turd Mountain on an Internet forum is a start.

It's confirmed.




You're straight. Carry on.

You dont know what she has because you dont know me , or the fact shes myonly child , she is in one of the best school districts in texas, her parents are stable , we have a house , we are not struggling , i have my own business which i enjoy doing from home (painting cars and doing tattoos) and i make good money from both...etc , so you have no chance of telling me what my daughters future is. You think you know me but you dont know jack **** about what my lifes like. So now tell me what im doing wrong with my life?

Are you mother****ers just flat out stupid , the **** was a joke , but i dont see any of you saying jack **** to the person that posted this video.....just the person that made a joke and realized that everyone starts somewhere . I have never seen a dumber group of ****s in my life...

Ditto what FLEX said, you have a lot of growing up to do. As I always tell my kids, if your going to dish it out, be prepared to receive it. And just like a kid you whine like a baby when it's being dished back at you. It's an internet forum, don't get so butt hurt over it. See you in 5 years.

You make a stupid comment about a 3yr old pressing 85lbs and wonder why people say something to you.

We also have no idea what he ate that day, what he'd done prior to that lift.

Although I think it was probably too heavy for him, there are times at the end of a brutal arm workout I can barely curl 20% of what I start out at

back up boys and girls we have a real bad ass in here. By the way I was wondering how you got your avi up without being banned, I thought women weren't allowed to post topless pics, nice boobs though I always enjoy them even on fat chicks

[gixxer0.6g]

10/10 video. I don't know what I enjoyed more. The strong deads or the incredibly weak incline.

You could just see the shame in his eyes with that whopping 65 lbs in his lap while the chick in front of him is pulling over 200 lbs..

Hey bitch you didnt see what i said , i said he has a point ....you captain save a hoe ass . If i said "you have a point" that means i agree with what the other guy says , or is that too much for you to put together?

You dont know what she has because you dont know me , or the fact shes myonly child , she is in one of the best school districts in texas, her parents are stable , we have a house , we are not struggling , i have my own business which i enjoy doing from home (painting cars and doing tattoos) and i make good money from both...etc , so you have no chance of telling me what my daughters future is.

wtf is wrong with you?

[gixxer0.6g]

I don't know, but I'm scared to neg. I think we're dealing with a psychopath.

he miss his afternoon candy bar break?

[deeboklik]

No , what its called is putting someone in their place and showing them they dont know **** about me,my 3 yr old daughter, or what her future holds .so you should stay your ass out of it . You do realize this whole thing started because she responded with some negative **** after i said i agree that this guy might have just started lifting right.....you just wanted to hop on the bandwagon? Think if it was me sayin whoever the kid you have in your picture has no chance, im sure you wouldnt like that would you?

[deeboklik]

This all started because i said he was weak for not being able to lift that ligjt ass weight, someone said maybe he just started lifting and i said you have a point....so i basically took my joke back that my daughter could lift more and it turned into this ......wtf?
