Well then... I just disagree.

He's generally not too bad a guy, but his sarcastic comments on threads of mine were not called for at all...so imo he's a bit of a cock. But whatever..

In 7th grade, I think I was benching 75 pounds for reps on the Smith machine. Somewhere down the line in 8th grade, I got myself a bench and was doing sets at 80 pounds freeweight.

I was 15, weighed around 115 and put up 135 for about 6 reps. around 3 months later I was maxing out at 185, then I quit. I did that same routine of working out for 3 months, maxing out at 185 and quiting for 8 months untill around 2 years ago when I worked out for like 5 months and maxed out at 205, where once again I quit. Now I have maintaned lifting for about 10 months and hope to continue for a long time.



Can't even remember the last time I was in the gym. I suck at life.
