are you ashamed to tell someone how much you bench? Or you just don't care? most people who don't care about how they look don't look good, most people who are overweight don't care about how much they weigh.

So I'm leaning on the side that if you wont tell someone how much you bench it must not be superior or anything. Unless I'm wrong. It just seems that way. I could be wrong, I could be extremely wrong. I'm not trying to be offensive, just asking

My max is stuck at 300. I can't seem to get past that mark. Actually, it's dropped down some since I've been dieting a little. I'd be doing good to get 290 up right now.

Bench pressing's never been one of my stronger points, though. I guess to break past 300 I need to eat more and lift heavier more often.

Your an idiot.

I do the exact same thing. Why? Because I know its more than them so I dont care. When you start to look a certian way, people are ALWAYS fucking asking stupid shit."Do you take steroids?" "How big are your arms?" "How much can you bench?"

Now I know how the pros must feel(in a small way). It gets fucking OLD!

Because the bench press is far, far below the squat and deadlift in terms of actual gauges of strength. For me at least. If someone asks me how much I can bench press I'll tell them what I can deadlift. Half the time, I hear:

"What's a deadlift?"

I know a great number of guys who can put up well in excess of 300 on bench and have never touched a squat. It is a great exercise when done with other great exercises, but for most ignorants' it's an ego press and they neglect other important exercises.

I know of 3 people just at my work who are exactly like this.
