I think this post is overlooked.
People who say āI donāt want to bench 405ā are truly putting the cart before the horse.
No one would come out of college saying, āI NEVER want to be CEO.ā
No one would ever say, āI NEVER want to drive a Ferrari.ā
But theyāll do it with weightlifting. Strange.
Lets face it: Professor X sucks at life. 27,000 posts in a forum? wtf?

Your analogy is flawed. There are little sacrifices one has to make when one is already a CEO or owning a Ferrari. But to be able to physically bench 405, an individual must sacrifice many thingsā¦

Wow, thatās quite a jump in accusation, saying someone sucks at life?
You are quite an epic fail.

Oh Iām sorry. So youāre the guy that was born as a CEO and didnāt have to work his way up and sacrifice many things along the way in pursuit of something he felt was worthwhile?
I got you.

Everyone makes such a huge deal about this on forums, I donāt get it. The very first place I ever worked, there was a bodybuilder working also. This guy was 280+, and pretty lean-used weights at the gym that had my eyes popping out. There were a lot of late nights, and a lot of heavy work, but this guy would go to the gym after a 18-hour shift to get his workout done, 6 hours of sleep if he was lucky, and back to work the next day. He never even mentioned it during the days, or even looked tired. Now a few years later I saw him in contest condition, greatest physique I ever saw in person.
Nowadays I never see guys like that at the gym, who are all buisness and taking no prisoners. Thatās why I come to a bodybuilding forum, to talk to guys like that.
Why would anyone logging on to a bodybuilding forum want to read about a guy who doesnāt want to bench 405?

Great fucking post.

What a fucking poser.
You know, at one point, I didnāt want to bench 405 either. I said Iād be happy at 315. I thought Iād be happy
with 18" arms, until I got to 17.5" and realized itās not as big as I thought it was.
I was wrong. So is this kid. He just hasnāt accomplished enough to know that he hasnāt accomplished anything yet. And he was immature enough to put it on the internet.
P.S. - To the guy who just wants to bench 225 for 15 or 20 reps (and Iām not scrolling back to figure out who), be advised that itās not really as strong as you think it is.
I understand where heās coming from. Everyone has different goals and doesnt necessarily want to be colossal. But as Iāve been advised if you donāt wanna be huuuuugge, donāt post in the BB forum?
I donāt really want to bench 405 either. I want to bench press a truck and look like I can bench press a fucking house. I assume, naturally, that before I reach these goals Iāll be pushing 405x250 or so.
to all: go to Training Logs - Alphas Work and read his rant on the last page

On a bodybuilding site whose mantra was once ādangerously hardcore,ā why the fuck should we respect your choice which is directly contrary to everything this site used to stand for. And seeing as how you two are just the latest iteration of those striving for mediocrity (many have come before you,) why the fuck would we get lost.

its been said before, but lets say it againā¦ way to āAim Highā man! lol
I couldnāt imagine going through life without accomplishing anything that would take some effort or possibly giving up some free time. Like others have said, maybe you have not tasted what itās like to accomplish something thatās pretty hardā¦thereās nothing else like it, my friend. Makes life worth livin.

I HATE sticking up for X because heās better at it than I am, but some of you morons have to realize that some of us have jobs where we have the ability to post all damn day. Itās not like weāre so hardcore we quit our jobs and spend all day working out and spending time on bodybuilding websites. Get a clue.

Sorry, I like striving for perfection.
Thereās no such thing as perfection in bodybuilding or powerlifting, you can always improve.
Which is why he wrote āstriveā for perfection.[/quote]
Which is a stupid statement because if you strive for perfection you are under the delusion that perfection exists. What every serious weightlifter/bodybuilder should strive for is to go to the gym and lift more than he did the time before. āStrive for perfectionā is an inherently false statement that bothers this shit out of me.
