Are people kidding themselves or am i just weak?

That is why I like the deadlift. It really separates the serious from the bullshit. You can either lift it or not, no way to cheat. And I am not talking rainbow backed extreme lumbar distortion kind of shit either lol.

Also I feel that it is a lot about technique and how quality your spotter is as well when it comes to bench. If you were honest about what you could unrack , rep , then re rack your self all on your own gas then the numbers start to get smaller.

Not only that but what about the clean and press? Or the push press? If a a 200 lb guy showed me that he could clean and press 6 plates I would be amazed, just saying...

good call on deads man, and i've seen dudes w/ horrible form pulling 4 plates to show off and what's great is i know they'll pay with pain soon lol

Dude that's not POLISHING nor EMBELLISHING, that's flat out BULLSHIT LIE if you turn 200 into 350 and borders on Mentally challenged

Lol but it happens. Challenge anyone bloke out there claiming to press, deadlift, squat whatever 350 and with good form they'll barely do 200. I see people doing 14-18kg (30-40lbs) side raise and they can't even do 6-8kg (13-18lbs) side raise for 10'reps with good form.

I benched 350 at 180 lbs at my peak of Powerlifting. I did train for max with multiple types of heavy lifts and variations I also have videos on here of me hitting 315 and the 350 is on my old youtube. It was what I was aiming for. My buddy is 6'2 260 his max is 380 now, I am ojly 5'5 I have a shorter distanve to move it compared to others.

But it came mainly from training for it and well steroids helped jump it over time too. I did not polish my numbers, but I am sure some do. I get about 225 for 5 now, I am coming off well, no lifting for well over a month and a half due to injury and lack of motivation. I really just aim for Aesthetics my powerlifting days are pretty much over.

This is just ridiculous. I bench 500 for 12, squat 800 for 10, my truck makes 1000hp, and my penis is 14 inches long.. flacid.. and I'm basically a genius... basically...
