Is it your hands that are failing? You managed to get into the pressing position, get out of it the same way.

Um yea sure…no need to make up stories to boost your ego. If you say you were going to parallel it was most likely that you were doing quarter squats or even more likely 1/8 squats.
Why are you dogging on him?
Yeah, knock it off. He plays college ball, he’s an athlete and apparently he can handle it. I’m pretty sure I couldn’t do it, keep lifting hard.
He’s doggin’ him because he’s a trolling bastard who never contributes anything useful to this site. If you look at his post history, all he does is spew shit.
Just ignore him and maybe he’ll crawl back under the rock from which he came. But I have a feeling we wouldn’t be that lucky.[/quote]
Maybe if we get someone to register with the name Squirtle1234 he can fight him and win and this idiot will go away.

I see 3 posts registered to him. That doens’t mean much, though - look at TAChick & her alter-ego Mr. Lover! I’m just saying this is the first I’ve seen of this guy so I just took him at his word. Maybe you guys have a history, I don’t know.
I think he was refering to charizard123 as the troll, I could be mistaken though.

Sounds to me like you might be the asshole here. There is nothing that pisses me off more than dumbasses who drop dumbells after they are done. The fucking things are not indestructible, and they bend and break from this treatment. If you are strong enough to pick it up and get it into position you should be strong enough to set it down properly, not drop it.[/quote]
I couldn’t agree more! Nothing pisses me off more than somone who just -let’s go- at the end of their set. This guy was doing cable rows with the max amount of weight on the machine and on his last rep he would bring it back, hold it a secondand just let it go!!!
loudest noise…not to mention that we’ve had to replace weight places and cables for that shit. Not only that, the 125# + dumbells never get put away. Why is it that people can get them out, but not put them away??

All of charizard’s posts are the same dumb crap, regardless of thread.
Dunno if this has been said but the good old lifting heavy makes you small is always funny.
I was doing heavy deadlifts at my little school gym when a friend interrupted me:
Friend: Dont do that, youn wont be able to grow anymore!
Me: nah, it doesnt effect it, no studies, etc. etc.
Friend: Well i reckon it does and i’m going to stop coming to the gym after this week
Me: Why?
Friend: Well since i started coming to this gym Bob has grown taller than me, this is because he doesnt lift weights, so i want to grow taller than him so i’m going to stop lifting weights.
Me: LOL

Oh maaan!!! Thats funny shit, please tell me you joined in.
hahahahahaaa
Did he get " too big " during that week?
or mayeb did his penis shrunk?
you shouldve just be happier , more space for you most people I know might have no clue at lifting but they learnand do not try to give advice after 1.5 day of training

It’s a little hard sitting back up with DB’s > 100.
I’ve had people tell me that I’m short because I lift… They haven’t met my mom

I don’t have any problem with it. It’s a little hard lifting weights and getting strong but people do it. The people who do it are not usually the 100# plus-ers. You use the weight’s momentum down to your lap to sit up.
Ok, I worked as a trainer for 7 years or so in a McGym…which is a fancy way of saying I know enough about exercise to get my clients hurt 
Anyway, we give those free orientation sessions where you go over goals and get them on a basic program. My next appointment shows up and we are going over his health form and what his goals are.
Suddenly he asks if it is okay if he records (!) what I say and though it’s odd, I say go for it. He pulls out a dictaphone and I lean back in my chair and put my hands in a prayer-like pose and say in a bad German accent: “Zo, tell me about your mothzer”…trying to make a bad joke about being in a Freudian therapist’s office or something, due to the tape recorder and my clipboard, etc.
The guy starts talking actually about his mother and beings to tell me about her terminal cancer and how he can’t sleep and he’s worried about her. This seems to go on for an eternity as I shuffled uncomfortably in my seat.
I back peddled so quick mentioning something about how outside stress can affect your workouts or some such other BS as I stammered to recover.
So somewhere there is a recording of me being pwned.

Hee Hee, you could have gone all Colonel Klink on his ass.
Hooooooogan!
Friend of mine actually said this to me today as we were walking upstairs to do my program,
“Pilates actually creates long, lean muscles. It’s hard!”
She also used the word “tone” alot and as soon as she strated saying that thing about pilates my head got a little jolt of “WTH?” and I don’t remember exactly what she said after that.
Both my brothers decided to start “working out” again. Both of them went out yesterday and bought supplements at GNC.
Me being the dick I am went and get my Whey, Gatorade powder, Creatine powder and put them next to theirs and said “Same stuff, 1/3 the price.”
OOOO, OOOOO!!! New one!
Day before yesterday a group of 5 teenage boys are lifting together, doing whatever the biggest among them does first. Anyway, the squat cage is around the corner from where I’m lifting, so I can’t see the person in it, but I can see the other 4 guys sitting around watching the one guy do what I’m assuming are squats.
I came to the conclusion that the guy in the cage was squatting due to the following instructions he received from his comrades:
Douche #1: Hey, man, don’t fart!
Douche #2: Yeah, dude, seriously! Because one time? I farted? And it totally threw me off!
I went back to my workout, and a few minutes later saw them doing DB 1-arm preacher curls while yelling, “yeah! Go heavy or go home!”
Could I make this shit up?

What the hell is it lately with this “long muscle” theory? That poster a few pages back mentioned a guy doing Smith machine squats who said the same thing. Should be a lot of tall people walking around soon.

Yeah, she and I are both 5’4" so I figure she’ll outgrow me by an inch or 2 in the near future…
She said something about cardio building muscle and burning fat… I think she had the right idea working in her head, but got it confused w/ somehting else and worded it all wrong. That’s what threw me off of the rest of the conversation.
