How Much Do You Bench??

Yeah, the dreaded whatcha benchn question.

Actually it's been awhile but the other night at work there I am in another bar who's owner is too cheap to spring for a.c.
Got this atm tore apart sweating my ass off and out of the corner of my eye I see him coming and judging by the "Goddamned Dude" slurring out of his mouth as he's getting close I already know what he's going to ask me.

"Fuck man, your huge"! (I'm really not cuz I have bigorexia:D )
Then it happens.."How much do you bench?"

Call me an ass but I just cant honestly have that conversation anymore. Especially with drunks. I just tell him that I dont. Never. Never have. Hate it. Sounds like work. I do alot of push ups.

-And leave it at that.
:cool:

I either take the same approach and say "I don't," or I ask them what they think I bench, which is always a lot more than what I can actually bench, then I say "sounds good - we'll go with that."

I always say 135.


LMAO shaq~~!!

I swear to you, i've been saying that for longer than I can remember...I never give an honest number bc honestly, I have no idea what I can max out these days. So 135lbs gets a laugh and eventually they shut up.

You should try being me! Boxing and push ups is keeping me very large, but I haven't done a bench press in just about a year. Well, bench anything over 115lbs. So, I have to tell people that I have no idea because I don't even lift anymore. They never believe it. LMMFAO!

Exactly. When I do entertain the topic I cant really give a number. Shit I havent 1 reped max bench in YEARS!
I dont have all the time in the world and it's a little meaningless to me to waste my time in the gym doing the high school thing. If I was a p/lifter that would be a diff story. Which then you always get.."Well come on you gotta know, gotta have an idea".

Yeah I could probably come close to guessing but it wouldnt be the number they have in there head and then they want to debate...:rolleyes:
