wow.
while my lifts aren’t impressive, I don’t feel the need to inflate them. I just don’t care quite as much any more if people are impressed or not. most people lack comprehension of what a real squat or deadlift looks like anyway.
Additionally, I work in a fitness facility, and someone could ask me to prove it at any time.
Oh, and I love the “I can leg-press 18 plates!” fucking great man…
This is why I hate when people don’t qualify shit.
I’ve seen somebody squat 600lbs easy, but he didn’t tell me he was moving the bar 2" tops. I’m still happy for him but it puts things in perspective.
Then with benching theres this new partial lift that EVERYBODY is doing, not just huge bodybuilders. Do a partial reverse band press your friend can easily do 530 (better have some strong bands).
The best way to know what he is talking about is workout with him.
The kid was definately just trying to impress you or compete with you. If he’s 218 lbs and 20% BF that means he’s carrying around 44 pounds of fat making him 174 lbs lean. He’s not touching anything close to those numbers.
I’ve never lied about my max lifts. Never found a reason to.
As a small man, my numbers were never what a large man could do. But for a man my size, my numbers were relatively impressive.
I feel like I am the only one to never check there 1rm on the big 3. Guess I am alone.
Lol this is funny - there is a guy at my work who is 5’10 maybe 5’11" and weighs 155 lbs and claims to bench 405. This knowledge came to be known when he asked me what I bench “Because I’m pretty big” as her put it and and I responded with “I don’t know, I haven’t done bench press in a while”…I didn’t ask what he benched yet he still told me he benches 405.
Something occurred to me. Shane Mosley was able to put up somewhere around 350lbs-375lbs on barbell bench when he was in the welterweight class (147 lbs at weigh in). This was also the time when he was unknowingly taking steroids but still highly impressive for that weight nonetheless. I still do believe however that 99% of people who spout off ridiculously high numbers are full of shit, but I thought I would share this anyway.
Wait, hold on! So, there are people here LYING about how much they lift? Holy crap! Not on the internet! We surely cannot think that we need to impress a bunch of faceless strangers on the internet.
Seriously though, a couple years ago when I was a regular poster on here I refrained from posting my lifts because I really didn’t want to read some douche’s lame remarks about my hard-earned achievements.
As long as people post on forums, someone will always be ready to invalidate anything and everything that you strive for. Few people leave home to go look for the crap of life, and few people want to log on to see someone’s else’s crap online.

My equipped squat is around 300.
Bench is over 135 but under 155.
My best deadlift ever was 255.
And I know a guy that leg pressed 2700 for reps. Really.

Just belt, or full gear?

Honestly, I wouldn’t call a 300 pound squat impressive at all.
Just a belt would be raw. Equipped for me is a single ply suit, double ply briefs, a belt and wraps.
if you dont go at least double ply you will certainly be raw.

yeah, no shit, I’ve rped that already and I’m not even big.
no, 8 plates = 810+carriage= ~875
18 plates would be 1710+ carriage= ~1775 …i know you were being saracastic i just felt like doing the math.
and seeing people load the press up and go down about 2 inches is hilarious. well, it kinda isnt because they REALLY believe that theyre strong as shit for doing it. like when someone who weighs 170 pounds benches 2 plates by lifting it off the rack, dropping it 4 inches and getting it back up.
There are still some neurological applications to using more weight than you could normally move through your full range of motion and then strictly limiting that range…something I believe is a good way to gain strength quickly, but to then vouch that number as your 1rm which is normally assumed to be your 1rm full rom is obviously the issue here…still I try to give people the benefit of doubt when I’m observing them in the gym doing this.

Apparently so.
oooohhhh Dick waving contest!!!
I think your squat is inflated.[/quote]
lol.
When someone tells me how much they ‘lift’ (which automatically means “bench” for a non true lifter) it’s simply humor to me. Usually I just imagine them actually trying to do that number and I laugh when thinking about how they’d just get hurt and look like a fool.
When talking about number of plates it’s usually per side. You don’t say you bench 4 plates when you really mean 225 lbs.
