405x10 isnt much for a deadlift. id say it definately sets you apart from 90% of the gym populous if not more but i did it with 2 years of training total.
i think ill eventually get a 405 bench but TBH im not really suited for the bench (classic deadlift frame). i dont even have a 405 squat or a 315 bench. so to add 100 pounds to my bench in 18 months…i dont know, considering by the time im 23 i will most likely be eating Cookies. so, it might be possible - we’ll just have to see how much a difference Cookies will actually make.
to also put it in perspective
i added 100 pounds in less than a year to my deadlift (probaly 10-11 months)
i only added 50 pounds in the same amount of time to my bench.

Cookies don’t help your joints and tendons. If you aren’t suited for a certain lift, no amount of muscle strength will prevent injury that may occur from pushing the limits.
Just be careful and take it slow. That’s all I’m saying and I say it from experience.

Oh yeah. This thread is just dripping with vag slime.

complacency is a pathetic characteristic, if you never want to get to 405 then most likely you will never get to 315, if you never want to get to 250 lbs you will most likely never get to 215lbs the reason people set there goals high is a drive to better oneself is an ongoing process, Do Professional athletes try and just maintain their current level of skill at their sport or do they try and improve it at every chance they get. why bother posting a thread if your striving for mediocrity…go join crossfit[/quote]

Correction this is the dumbest thread EVER.
I will say one thing to the OP and those who think like him…
Take up a sport as a hobby, just as a hobby, and go to some local competitions. Don’t got into it thinking you will eventually be in the Olympics or some shit, just go for the experience.
As time passes you will come across a guy who came into a sport after you did, was always weaker than you, and you used to teach him stuff. Then all of the sudden this guy starts lifting more than you in everthing, and is getting bigger… You are still best pals, but trust me that bullshit u have in your head right now will end.

indeed. you face risks from any lift where you push yourself, really -regardless of whether youre the long limbed deadlifter or the short limbed bencher. if i never pushed the limits id never progress. of course though, muscle strength will help you get numbers up and add size which is what im after.

Wait a minute… How do cookies make you squat and bench more? I don’t remember reading that in any of the nutrition articles! What else haven’t I been told!!!
This coming from a troll, who makes up new accounts so he can troll himself. Go back to b. Your brain is too rotten to function on the rest of the internets.
Imagine if anyone of us, the true aspiring bodybuilders, stopped when we cleared 135lbs on the flat bench. If I would have been, “I’m okay with benching the 50lbers” FUCK THAT! I was hungry for the 100lbers and when I cleared those I was driven to clear the 150lbers and now that thats within reach I’m hungry for more. To one day kick up the badboys…200 motherfucking lb DBs. I don’t give a fuck if I only get 3 reps or just one, knowing that I hold 200lbs in each arm remembering the kid that was crushed by the bar at one point makes me push harder, beyond pain, beyond mental limitations, and beyond the group of fuckheads that will diminish the magnitude of my our paths.
I know what he means, but I don’t see why. My boss for example, only wants to tighten up, not to get big and lift a lot. Me? I want to be huge and lift a shit ton.

I guess go read Men’s Health? Maybe they even have message boards. j/k
I know personally how injury can affect your training, sometimes even permanently changing the way you train and limiting the exercises you can do. For that reason, I can see being reasonable in how you approach your training as far as moving alot of weight around goes. I think that experience and knowing your own body is key to avoid injuries.
I’m primarily a father and husband. Everything I do should add to those qualities. I train to better myself, but I also train to set a healthy example for my family. Far too many guys nowadays are complete sissies who don’t even act like men anymore. I don’t want my sons growing up acting like metro fags(no offense to HolyMac I know you’re no metro), but real men. And at least I have a place where I can say that and I don’t have to worry about apologizing for it.
I think that as long as you love to lift weights, and act like a man, then if anyone has a problem with that you can tell them where and how to eat it.

absolutly, but the OP has the mentality of ‘this is good enough’.
honestly, i feel it’s those kinds of beliefs that where strong-minded men push on, others just want to lie down and die.
