yea to increase his bench 60lbs in less than a month fuck yea unless of course ur a genetic freak. I don’t know anyone who can do that. I could get him there but not in less than a month. Thats just absurd. [/quote]

HE WAS COMPLETELY UNTRAINED!

He could probably increase it by 30-40 lbs in the first week. At 110 lbs, he could even likely bench 3 days a week, with active recovery on 3 of the off days if his muscles aren’t recovering fast enough.

Getting him to his target might have been challenging, but totally doable. A good answer on your part might have been “I don’t know how to help get you there.” Maybe he could have found someone that can help him. Instead, you said “it’s impossible, unless you use steroids.” If this kid, the poor newb, goes off and starts injecting liquid creatine into his anus, it’s on you.

So not only were you unnecessarily rude, disrespectful, and arrogant, but you were also wrong. If you see this kid, you owe him an apology.

It might not be possible for you to go from 325 to 365 in one week. Going from 110 to 150 is a different story altogether. He probably has the musclular potential to move this much weight already, but lacks the neural efficiency. The fact that you don’t get this is evidence enough that the poor kid went to the wrong person.

Yes, it’s clear you were polite.

I was at the gym the other day and this dude comes up to me right between my sets and asks “dude how much can you bench” I tolf him my max is 325lbs. Then he asks “How much do you weigh” and I stated 190lbs. While this little punk is asking me this shit i try to be respestful while he is messing up my time between reps.

He goes on to state he is going to the police academy and has to bench 93% of his body weight which is a weakly 173lbs. i ask him whats ur 1 rep max now dipshit states 110lbs. I almost bent over laughing when he told me this. Then more questions come.

He states that he needs to increase his bench in 1 month from 110 to 173. Holyshit are u fucking kidding me. I ask what do u do for bench. he states the smith machine. What a jackass that does not no shit about lifting. I hate jackasses that think having a strong bench is easy. What do they think you just lift one day and wake up the next benching heavy weight. Hell no they do not realize the hardwork and determination that goes in to what we do.

Meanwhile I was nice to the little punk but really I just wanted to rip his head off and shit down his throat. I pretty much told him to eat like a horse and and go heavy weight for reps of 5-8. I also stated he was probably shit out of luck unless he wanted to juice. Anyways sorry for the ramble but I had to vent. [/quote]

You are clearly the little punk. I close grip what you bench and, if I have a bad eating day, I #2 what you weigh. We all started somewhere…seems those most likely to forget that little fact are guys like you, who crossed the magical 300lb bench press barrier and seem to believe this now makes you somehow special. Your bench is pedestrian, get over yourself.

The guy was asking you for advice; you should take it as as compliment no matter how stupid he was for asking someone like you.

I hope he gives you a speeding ticket one day.

Basically, I just hate that turd stains like you exist. The turds definitely roll down the hill in life. But it’s amusing when the guy in the middle of the hill, pushes some turds further down the hill, thinking he is at the top of the hill, when in reality, the turds he is pushing on someone else are the turds hitting his own head.

Understand? Let me clarify; you’re just a middleman turd pusher.

46

Ok clearify for the people who can not read. His bench from 110-173lbs = 63 pds. NOT 150lbs. Second I forgot a comma I asked him whats ur 1 rep max now, dipshit states 110lbs. I did not actually call him a dipshit but I was thinking about calling him one. Again bend over laughing is what I was thinking but did not due. No asshole you cannot gain 63lbs in ur bench in less than a month.

Remember how we started talking about if 40 lbs in a week is possible? 110 + 40 = 150. Not only do I think It’s possible, but I’d wager it’s possible to get this guy to 130 lbs in a day.

So you consider thinking about insulting someone but not actually doing it to be polite? I call it being a passive-aggressive little bitch. But that’s just me.

Just because you keep saying it doesn’t make it true. It just shows you have no idea wtf you’re talking about.

Don’t tell me your qualifications, tell me your logic. If you go over my head, I’ll let you know. Why is it not possible for an untrained individual to go from a pitiful bench press to a mediocre bench press in one month.

I’d also appreciate it if you wrote sentences that didn’t require an exercise in imagination to decipher.

Basically, what I’m telling you is that you’re a middle manager turd pusher. Although I’m sure pushing turds has some value in our world order and economy (I’m just not sure where exactly), I’m pretty sure that turd pushing is a lower end blue collar job that doesn’t require any special education and probably won’t even merit you a company shirt with your name embroidered upon it…a name tag maybe because, after all, the ranks at middle management turd pushing is crowded and, upper management would need some means to distinguish you from other middle manager turd pushers.

The above aside, I’m pretty convinced, from your original post, and from your replies, that you are quite the intense turd pusher that you portray yourself to be. And you are further correct in your assumption that I’m not quite as intense, because when I push a turd, it is usually quite by accident.

No, I don’t bench 600. My bench is caught in the 4’s which aint great. What seperates me from you, an accomplished turd pusher, is that I understand that someoen is pushing 5. And when, and if, I push 5, someone somewhere, is pushing 6. And so forth. That knowledge keeps me humble. And furthermore, I can remember the day, remember my personal quest to push 3 plates and how appreciative I was for the little help I received along the way and, how much wasted time I could have saved if someone even more experienced would have taken a moment to help and guide.

Anyway, I work out at home. And that requires far more intensity and discipline than the false intensity you muster in the gym. No training partner. Just alot of weight, some bars, a cage, a 600lb tyre, chains, bands, a punching bag, rings, bench, boxes, boards and a radio.

Intensity is not how hard you push turds between your sets, as you did in your little story, its how hard you push or pull the bar during the set.

56

No shit ass hole! Try doing some sled pulls and some kettles and get back to me on intensity.

At least he’s a literate jerkoff. You’re just a jerkoff.

58

OK now my reasoning why he can not reach his goal. Unrealistic! Pectoris Major and minor are both considered large muscles. large muscles because of the type of muscle fibers involved take longer to heal than smaller muscles such as the muscles u use to wack off with. Which means you shouldnt lift them three times a week. Next would be the principle of progression.

There is an optimal level of overload that should be achieved and an optimal timeframe for this to occur.Overload that is applied to rapidly may lead to muscle damage or injury. This is why I dont feel it is possible. ALso hif he lifts as heavy as possible for for a long period then CNS burnout will occur.

I thought people would c my point on this matter. Oh well!

Yeah, it’s what I thought.

How much damage do you think he’s going to do with 110 lbs? How much recovery will that take? Will he even be maxing out what his chest is capable of in the first couple of weeks?

Watch him bench. I guarantee you that the bar will be shaking all over the place. He doesn’t have the coordination or the neural efficiency to work anywhere near his max.

As a result, overtraining is really not a big concern right now. CNS burnout might be, but that’s why he’d really reduce the volume on everything else he’s doing. On the off chance that he does not recover well, using some form of active recovery like walking and pressing 10 lbs dbs for very high reps on his days off, just to increase blood flow, would probably get him back on track.

The risk of injury posed by progressing too quickly is very real. If you try to go from 325 to 385 in a month, you are probably going to hurt yourself. But we’re talking 110 to 170 here.

Maybe you’re awesome at training advanced lifter, but you really don’t seem to understand what it’s like for a beginner. As a result, you fucked up pretty bad. Seriously, you owe this kid an apology.
