I just remembered this one:
Guy doing curls while staring at a big guy benching. Everytime the big guy racks the bar and sits, the other guy stares at him and starts smiling. This lasts until the big guy is at his last set, he’s obviously annoyed by now, so he yells “WHAT ?”. The other guy says nothing for a while and then lets go a soft “You’re so strong.”
Everyone in the vicinity moved to the other side of the gym

Myriad of people responding to him in a logical manner:
He is a troll or trolling. Even if he is real this thread is an inappropriate place for your flame war. Please get back to funny gym stories. Stop feeding the troll.
This is one from before, but I hope it will help this thread:
I walk into the locker room and a man asks me if I “use” protein shakes. Upon responding in the affirmative, he tells me I’m going to get fat. I think I said something like, “maybe, but I don’t think so.”
Then he lifts up his shirt, grabs his belly rolls, and yells, “THIS IS PROTEIN!”

So this guy preaches about squat depth, yet can somehow squat “deep” more than he can deadlift?!?
Methinks something is not right with this picture…

If you read my log you’d see my grip strength is a limiting factor. Also, I started deadlifting only recently whereas I’ve trained my squat over a longer period of time. Also flexibility on the squat was a big issue for me and it took a lot of work to fix, so of course I’m going to preach about it. If I could do it so can you!

I’m someone stronger then you, much stronger then you (I generally do twice the weight you do on every lift, and no I’m not a big guy, a whopping 181 lbs), as are many people here commenting in this thread, and I for one, wouldn’t train with someone who pulled that type of bullshit.
Do you think the authors of the articles you have garnered your information from (for free mind you) would act the way you do? Guess what, there was a time where you didn’t know any better either and were weaker then you already are. Do you think that people like CT, Tate, Wendler, and others would do the jack-ass type things you do? No, they’ve spent their lives helping those who don’t know what they’re doing.
Think about it like that and maybe you’ll get the point many of us are attempting to make. None of us like SRC, but none of us are going to put them in harms way, confront them about it yes, actively put them in a situation where they may be harmed, never.

As far as Disney World, I can understand where your coming from (having grown up there I guess it loses its magic) but you have to realize in my country its a huge deal to go to Disney World, most people never make it out there.

I remember the thread about finding a good gym to train in NYC. Im not trying to be a dick here, but seeing your lifts posted on this thread I find it hard to believe that your one of the strongest at your gym unless that gym is a Lucille Roberts.
I train at a dreaded commercial gym, LA Fitness in Staten Island and have a shit ton more people in there stronger than me and my lifts are nothing special but much better than yours. I just dont see how you could be one the strongest guys in your gym…so what gym are you training at?
Also just because you know the proper way to lift and are supposedly stronger than someone doesent mean that someone wont wild out and beat the fuck out of you performing a very dangerous action on top of trying to embarrass said person.
But thank you for letting my afternoon fly by at work.
Also I read that Upright Rows are a no-no in the squat rack? Fuck color me guilty.[/quote]
I’m at Dolphin now. Don’t worry I’m not lookin’ at your post as you being a dick.
NP with the afternoon help!
Its not upright rows I’m doing, its bent-over rows. I thought you read my lifts?

I didn’t really mind your post, as I’ve said before I’ve never blew up my numbers just because I’m online. What bugged the shit out of me is that you say I do tricep kickbacks.
Judging numbers are we? And talking about being the better man in the same post? Hypocrite AND liar…[/quote]
I stand corrected. You were doing DB Extensions (2 handed and overhead I presume), I originally had taken these for kickbacks. If that makes me a liar, so be it.
I do hope you’re not insinuating I blow up my numbers (I truly doubt you are) but for the record I do have videos up of all my lifts (and more coming today) in my log. Just because I’m stronger then people does not give me a right to go and mess with people in a way that could leave them seriously injured.
I’m not judging numbers, I’m judging you. You have no right to:
You’re going around messing with people in a manner that puts them in harms way. You’re going around calling people weak when you yourself are weak. It’s like winning the special olympics…at the end of the day you’re still retarded.
As far as being a hypocrite, I said others were better men for helping people out in a non-dysfunctional way. I on the other hand prefer to take the low-road.

Solidkhalid, it’s wrong to randomly slap a stranger at the bus stop, but that doesn’t mean the slapper deserves the death penalty. Your immaturity shines through your facade. Either you’re not smart enough to realize that each wrong action is NOT equal, and requires varying levels of responses, or you’re aware of it, but get your panties in a bunch just cuz it annoys YOU personally, and you think your pet peeves take greater precedence over those of other people.
a SRC’er is NOT putting other people in harm’s way, so to put them in harm’s way (removing plates from their bars) is a complete bitch move of you. I can’t stand people that chew loudly all the time, but if somebody does that I’m not gonna slip poison in their food. At this point in the strength game, you need to complain about other people less, and start putting in more hard work yourself. Actions speak louder than words. [/quote]
H4m, thanks. Your post makes sense. I figure I’m right around the middle ground of the two extremes you mentioned. Plus it seems over here action as I’ve taken is frowned upon, which is also news to me. I didn’t see what I did as a bitch move because where I’m from its what would’ve have been expected/normal. Hence why my confusion as to all the complaining but no action taking place.
Thank you for clearing this up, to put it plainly.[/quote]
You obviously don’t understand what H4M is saying. He’s saying you’re like the same person on the bus randomly slapping a stranger. You’re not in the middle of the extremes, you are the extreme since you put people in harms way. If you were just yelling/being a dick to them but not physically putting them in harms way I’d say you were in the middle of the extremes, leaning more towards “our side” and less towards “noob side”. As it stands, you’re just as bad as the person slapping a random person in the face on the bus.

No, it doesn’t give you the right. You’re an adult, for Christ’s sake. Act like one.
Didn’t Wendler say in the last installment of Blood and Chalk that “the right atmosphere” isn’t really necessary (look it up)?
Also, SUPER job on the dips. You’re SO strong…I’m doing BW+90 for reps at 15 y/o. I’m not trying to gloat about my numbers, but you need to stop being such a goddamned elitist, particularly when you’re missing the “elite” part; you’re a slightly oversized fish in a ridiculously small pond.
Keep doing if you want, but don’t be surprised when you get kicked out.
P.S. Seriously though, good job on the dips. Keep it up.[/quote]
For the love of teenagers, re-read my posts. I mentioned at least twice that my strength was nothing special, and I don’t want to quote myself here, but definitely used the word elite to describe what my strength is NOT.
I’m pretty good friends with the gym owner now, so I don’t think I’ll be getting kicked out (much to your chagrin!)
TY for the GJ! You as well. I probably would have been able to do BW+90 at 15 if I lived your life too. Progress is relative. What I can remember about being 15 is moving a lot, lots of death in the family, being hungry almost all the time, not training at all but rehearsing 8+ hours a day, everyday.
Cheers
