suprisingly, this doesnt make me any more succesful in AH

308? You can't come up with that number with free weights. It would have to be either 305 or 310.  The bar weighs 45. Free weights come in increments of 45, 35, 25, 10, 5 and 2 1/2.  So you're either lying, or you're using a machine. If you're using a machine to bench, you're really not benching what the machines says you are.  (And for the record, my current max bench, 1 rep, is 295. I hit 315 last year but have not been into serious heavy lifting since)

$20 says he's using a machine.  

Rip, there's no advantage/gain from "finding out a max" anyways.  WTFG otherwise though.

Agree Mash, however a "target" can be a good motivator. My target 2 years ago was 315 (thats 3 X 45 lbs weights each side, on a 45 lb. bar). I was stuck on a plateau of 285 for the longest time, like 3 years!  Hired a personal trainer for 2 months and he busted my butt, almost puked the first couple of times working with him. But he got me over the hump.  Once I hit 315 I felt I'd achieved a goal I'd set out to do.  

Now I'm just in maintenance mode. I start with 185, then pyramid up to 285, the last set I can only to about 3-4 reps. Then the pecs are completely fatigued, and thats the goal, fatigue them so they tear, then rebuild. Then its onto incline dumbells, decline bench (on a machine). The next week I mix it up, I do max dumbbell bench only, then other pec machines to achieve max muscle fatigue.

I do like to "check my max" every now and then, about once every 3 months, just so that the personal trainer 28 year old female trainer will come over and spot me, while I get a nice shot if you know what I mean.

I'm getting older too, (45 now) so I have to be careful.

If I didn't have this bad back I could twirl Ripsnort like a majorette.

plus I am a ninja,sniper,toughguy,doctor,millionaire,and an olympic gold medalist(but you wont find my medal because of a records screw up they cant show it to anyone)

I drive a mclaren f1.
I am a pilot, my gramma owns a P-51 and she lets me fly it, because my daddy is the Admiral in the Navy and my Auntie is a Air Force Base Commander. I was also the youngest Allied pilot in ww2 you should go ask Ike, or Patton, or Abe Lincoln, they all knew me.

I am 6'3" and 260 lbs of muscle, I coulda started for the steelers but I was injured in school, so I became a ninjasniper and went to afghanistan instead.

My girlfriend was like the only chick ever to become a navy seal in real, ever! but she was killed in lower crapistan on a tippy-top secret mission.

I won every military medal the US,UK,Mexico, and Slovakia ever gives out, and killed about a BAZILLION commies/terrorists/liberals, and the President of lower crapistan, but that was a classified mission.





did I miss any?

I'm not sure, but I think that when one refers to having actually flown a P-51 Mustang on this board, somewhere in the story it is required to have reference to also having been stung by a scorpion...

[texace]

Why you would want to do that, Curv, remains a mystery...

Ironically, you wouldn't have chronic back problems if you lifted...weight lifting cures back problems. I had chronic back problems until I started strengthening my legs, stomach muscles. Those two major muscle groups support your lower back. You can do this without lifting too, Curval. Sounds funky, but while taking a shower, or standing in line at a bank, whatever...just hold your buttock muscles tight, along with your stomach muscles, for 30 seconds...then relax, do this again for 3 or 4 sets, a couple times during the day. Your back problems (if muscle related back problems) will disappear.  Just don't be flexing your butt muscles when there is a FDB standing behind you, that's a sure mating ritual and you could be inviting trouble.

hehe

Nah Rip, it isn't muscular.  I have a ruptured disk at L5S1.  I have avoided surgery thus far but basically I am in constant pain because of it.  Surgeon says that if I had the operation (diskectomy) I would be in exactly the same predicament in 3-5 years as I would without it as the disk is going to lose all its fluid and shrink into scar tissue eventually.  I rather not risk surgery if that is the case and would rather live with the pain.

[Habu]

Ouch.

Back pain sucks.

I feel for you Curval. I had a muscle cramp in my lower back last year and was laid up for 2 weeks. Pain was like nothing you can imagine if you don't have back pain.

That number does not relate to free weights or a machine. He's benching his girlfriend.

[Iceman24]

I used to be able to bench 425lbs, squat 850lbs, and ran a 5.1 - 40yarder, I was 6'5 300lbs at the time though when I was in college playing ball about 6 years ago lol, I do believe thats the last time I ever saw a weight lol If I had to guess now... maybe 300 lol maybe lol. But now I can shoot nickel sized groups at 500 yards with a .300 magnum ... that counts right lol

[FUNKED1]

I do deep knee rock squats with ease.  

But I can only do one **** pushup.
One's all you need.
