Put me in coach!!!

Re: Put me in coach!!!

No midgets in here eh?

I'm 6'-2" and 229lbs as of ten seconds ago. I was about 6'-1" and 165lbs in high school. I started doing the martial arts thing when I was 18 (Shotokan, and then Wado Kai) and I must have gained 40lbs in 3 months. I was always skinny, and suddenly I had all this muscle. I kinda wanted to play football before, but I was way too skinny, I would have been crushed.

While we are on it... Why is benching such a benchmark? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

It is probably one of the more useless things you can do in a gym...

I have very little body fat, and no amount of eating or sitting on my ass seems to change that!

Eh I think Benchpress is way overrated but it is still a great multijoint movement taht helps pack on upper body mass. I rarely bench myself I usually dumbell press though.

Re: Put me in coach!!!

I never knew that either, thinking about. Don't ask me why everyone is so into it. I know I kinda am, but I just enjoy lifting. I know my 160 isn't anything to most of you guys, but I'm a small guy! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Put me in coach!!!

The bench press is the best way to injure your shoulders. A couple of my instructors (at Chiropractic college) say, "bench pressing is great for practice." [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Of course they are both Olympic lifters who can barely walk anymore.

john, anyone who lifts past their body weight is doing something impressive. Hell, I had a hard time benching my body weight when I was in college. My max was like 230lbs when I weighed 205. Two friends that I lifted weights with would warm up with 275 to 300. That'll make you feel like a Nancy pretty damn quick.

Bill, you're right, seeing someone throw around serious weight like it's nothing is nothing short of amazing.

Re: Put me in coach!!!

Hell Yeah Razor..Hey , I'm a tough SOB..but if I had to go head to head with a dude like Travis either I poke him in the eye , in the nuts or hit him with a bat..and that'll just probaly make him mad..hell I'm not gonna wrestle him..Fuck NO!

Sorry Travis..I love ya bro..I'm just using you for an example.. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]
