all I'm saying is the weight is just a number... why obsess over the number if your not competing... the number becomes meaningless if your just in the gym to keep fit/strong... Birds has even stated he's not looking to gain size just maintain his physique

'sub-par weights' what the fark does that mean!? he's lifting well over his body weight off his chest for reps... which is a shit load more than the average bloke in the street could manage

Fair enough then.

How much does Birds weigh? I thought I read 90-96kg somewhere? Anyway a bodyweight bench press might be impressive if you weigh 140kg+, but for an average joe it's pretty...average

Most people lifting sub-par weights hide behind the "I'm bodybuilding and strength isn't my goal blah blah" spiel, but they never get on stage so they aren't bodybuilders, they're just "weight lifters". So if you don't look like a bodybuilder, and you can't lift respectable poundages for the amount of time you've spent training, then I ask what the hell have you been doing in the weights room all that time? (provided you don't have an injury/doing rehab etc)

Bodybuilding is a form of body modification involving intensive muscle hypertrophy. An individual who engages in this activity is referred to as a bodybuilder

This is what you do in the gym when you 'weight lift".

I like how people concern themselves with what others can/can't lift...

2 of my mates, 1 is shredded to the crap house and he's never benched above 70kg. the other is on the chubby side and benches 90kg with ease. Both weigh 80-90kg.

Does that mean chubbs is more of a "bodybuilder" ? No....

Point being, numbers mean nothing.

Bodybuilder?, Weightlifter?, Powerlifter?

None of the above, hammer thrower (track and field athlete).

See why classifying everyone who lifts weights as a 'bodybuilder' is not only retarded but disrespectful to those who actually are bodybuilders? Do you know how much discipline is involved in being a top level bodybuilder?

That's funny because how much bodyfat you carry is determined by how much shit food you eat, and how strong you are is determined by how effectively you train.

Your mate Kwan has terrible taste lol

i dunno, whats on his plate looks pretty good.

you know whats gay? the gym im currently at doesnt actually have a bench press. when i asked why, they spun me some bs about bench being old tech and most gyms nowadays are gonna move to machine weights, which are better. im so looking forward to leaving this place pinch.gif

You're missing the point...

Now I'm sure you're just trolling. Bodyfat is determined by excess calories, you can eat 4000 calories of clean healthy food and still get fat...

Got a 'mate' that benched 125x6 yesterday at something like 85/90kg... He's 20, on his 3rd or 4th cycle and still looks pretty average.

Got another mate who had one of the best bodies I've ever seen (~100kg and ~5% bf) benched f**k all and had an enormous/perfectly shaped chest.

There's these things called genetics... They're the reason why people say I'm on steroids solely based on how my arms look. They're also the reason I'll never have a decent chest no matter how hard/well I train

The funny thing with genetics is they seem to improve the harder you train, and it's easy to spot people who don't put in the effort because they're too busy making excuses about genetics this or steroids that...

The funny thing about "steroids" is people think they lift the weights for you, prepare your 6-8 meals a day for you (and eat them for you too), make sure you get 8-10 hours sleep eveny night for you, hell they probably think they inject themselves for you and monitor their own blood tests for you too...

Mate I haven't posted anything childish, it's all factual information and legitmate correspondance. This isn't off-topic and incase you haven't realised I do have a strong interest in resistance training.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
