It's not that bad.

Who told you that? That dude probably just have high expectations or he's really strong. Each to his own.

As a general rule of thumb it is alright if you can bench your body weight.

Unless your are in you early to mid teens then then this is pretty good.

Work on gaining weight.

That guy was a jackoff.

I've seen some of your posts, why are you such an *******? Cursing everyone out when you get a chance to. You don't even know that guy at least give him credit for his belief other than "jackoff".

I highly doubt the guy went up to Dee and said "yo you weakling, how strong are you?!!?" to be that much of a jackoff.

Was he referring to the weight you were lifting or your technique when he said your bench was bad?

The weight you mentioned for the reps stated is good and heavy enough for you at this stage. Heavy being a relative term. Your muscles don't know if you are lifting 75 or 150 anyway. Use others as inspiration if you like but never be concerned about what they might lift or think, you are training for you, not them.

I just noticed my post. Maybe it's because I've been having a bad day lately, don't mind it. But take my words for it, don't go cursing at people you dunno.

Damn you seem pissed. Go get some herbal (herb?) tea for yourself.

Another thing is, you might remove the SN's before both of you get bothered by a bunch of fags.

He never said you benched with one db. It's possible but he never said it. Check this part out:
Hellion Vanshin: you said you benched 75 right? that's divided by 2
Hellion Vanshin: about 32
He must have misunderstood you like anybody else would. Afterall you're the one with attitude that's clouding the "words".

Oh ok I see. Nobody talks the way they talk in real life. If you said that in real life, then I'd know it's "what the **** you mean my bench is bad?". You didn't even sound like you were happy to start with. Like always mad and grumpy.

I have no comment for some of what you said. It's just stupid and you seem to have an attitude problem. Other than that, whatever floats your boat.

Saine, just shut up. Your glaring lack of understanding of ANYTHING that ANYONE is saying is just causing you to dig yourself into a deeper hole by the post. Listen to you:

Saine: why are you such an *******?
Saine: But take my words for it, don't go cursing at people you dunno.

Don't be a douche.

As for the Hellion Vanshin goof, he's not 18. He told me he was 15. He is the member formerly known as K1ll3r here, and he couldn't DREAM of benching what you do, Deez. When I first started chatting with him, his max squat was only 145 pounds or so. I've worked with him to get his 20-rep squat from 85 to 140 pounds, but he needs an attitude adjustment that I couldn't BEAT into him.

Saine, you and K1ll3r are peas in a toxic pod. You two are clones of each other, and I think you were K1ll3r. Hell, half his IM's to me have the word "Saine" in them.

If you think I'm Hellion Vanshin, then I have nothing to say. I'm not going to post in this thread anymore.
