I didn't say it was impossible for an 18 year old to bench 280. There's guys that young who can bench a lot more. But for the average 18 year old guy, it would take fairly serious dedication to lifting to bench 280 with proper form. Hence, why I said I was skeptical, but could believe it as possibly true. What really made me skeptical is his 600lb squat claim. I don't care if he weighed 185 or 225, I don't believe he ever came close to 600. When I called him out on the squat, he went on to say it meant nothing to him, and that he doesn't care if people believe him. For a more practical example of why that's obvious bullshit, Adrian Peterson is said to have a squat max of 540lbs. I don't believe an 18 year old kid who lifted to help supplement his wrestling, but wasn't super serious about power lifting, out squatted Adrian Peterson of today by 55lbs.
That's the thing though, it's not about taste. The concept of a protein shake tasting especially good doesn't make any sense anyway. There's a reason they make normal shakes, smoothies, candy bars, ect. with sugar as their primary source for the desired flavor rather than protein.
That's cool and everything, but don't go around posting e-stats about how you squatted 600 and expect to be taken seriously by anyone with any sort of knowledge or experience in making power lifting practically a lifestyle. I'd be surprised if you actually ever even squatted 400 in high school, let alone 600. You brought it up, so don't be surprised when someone calls you out on it.
I'm only giving you a forewarning that you shouldn't be touting obvious bullshit stats around those who would know better. You'd be humiliated if you tried to tell legitimate power lifters in person, or probably even body builders for that matter, that you used to squat 600 raw in high school without powerful steroids and power lifting wasn't your primary focus for fitness.
I think it's funny that you're sarcastically attacking me (or at least I assume it was directed at me - you didn't specify) when I never posted any e-stats, while the guy I was questioning posted obvious nonsense. I never once mentioned any personal lifting accomplishments, simply called bullshit when I saw it from someone else. I also provided several examples that demonstrated why his claims were exaggerated, and there was never a defense to be seen in the face of those examples.We get it bro! You're strapped.
I must have missed the memo that said having over 11k posts on a sports forum made you cool and made your opinions more valid than anyone elses's despite how stupid what you say is. You must be pretty proud to be over 3,500, eh?
I am happy for you and support your goal of getting to 5k posts on the board. With hard work and dedication, you might even rank near the top post counts with the best of them one day.
If you continue with your current stats, you should be a lock for the SportsHoopla Hall of Fame. I have faith in you to make it happen and will express my support when the voting happens for your first year of eligibility post retirement for the Hall.
