> go to a Christmas party for my wife's work. They play a game "Guess who". Each person puts something about themselves on a piece of paper and everyone has to guess who it is.
>The announcer says "This person can dead lift 848 lbs". Nobody can figure it out, finally a 6' 190lb guy steps forward.
Do I call this clown out? I have pulled over 800lbs, I know what it takes, all the shit I went through and busting my ass for years. This guy is a fraud. Why do they lie about this shit and get away with it?
Yeah, call him out and tell him to show proof or whatever.
They lie because they're weak fucks who achieved nothing and by lying they want to feel better about themselves. They get away with it because nobody knows anything about fitness, just look at the "killer abs exercises for burning belly fat" ads.
>>35215779
juts invite him to the gym one day when your sure he has nothing else to do.
>>35215779
lol you sure he didnt just write it down as a joke m8?
>>35215779
Tell his boss, dad always said if you lie about your max, you lie about everything.
>>35215779
>wife
you fuck'd up brah
Oh just let the guy impress your wife.... That's how you catch them grills
>>35215881
You know he spent the car ride home bitching about tht guy to his wifee, right?
>>35215906
>bitching during the ride home
Didn't have to, she knew as soon as that shyster stepped forward, and said this is my work don't make a scene
>>35215963
Should've made a scene anyway fuck that guy
>>35215779
> I have pulled over 800lbs, I know what it takes
No you fucking didn't you lying sack of shit
>>35215779
What will you do when he's not lying and you look like a triggered bitch?
i just love it how nobody here questions op's alleged 8.5pl8+ deadlift
>>35215983
1pl8 is close to 90LBS, right? Not accustomed to Burger measurements. Is he saying he lifted 9pl8?
>>35215999
that's because i have pulled over half a ton, bruh.
>>35216012
you are forgetting to count the 45lb bar
but... basically lol
>>35216012
1pl8 = 20kg approx
>>35216012
bar=45lbs
1 (45lb) plate each side=90lbs
1pl8=135
2pl8=225
3pl8=315, etc.
>>35215999
Dipshit, this # of plate shit is getting out of control. If you ever stepped foot in a real gym you'd see we use 100lb plates and bars that are bigger and heavier than that LA Fitness shit you use
>>35216012
OP is saying he deadlifted 765 lbs or just under 347 kg, or if he has kilo plates, it's 340 kg.
>>35216033
Comical that you think a 45 lb bar will safely hold over 500lbs
Wow the trolls are out in force today.
Pic related, it's what you need to know about how to add up weight on the bar.
>>35216046
yea, but you are forgetting about the HOLE in the plates.
>>35216070
most oly bars are rated to a much higher weight than that. power bars handle anywhere from 1,200 to 2,000
>>35216070
my standard 1'' bar held 585 block pull
bar weighs 35lbs and is 7ft long
>>35216099
>>35216121
Repeated use by a group with heavy weight will trash the basic bars. If your the only one using it, I sure it would be fine. But when its your club, your gear, your name on the team, and that's how to make a living you buy the real shit. You kids will grow up some day.
>>35216031
1pl8 is 40kg anon
It's implied you load a plate on each end, meaning 2x20kg is 40kg.
I just didn't know the exact conversion to LBS. Apparently I was spot on.
>>35215779
They could honestly not even know what they are claiming (which doesn't make it any better).
A lot of idiots who only do machine workouts like to claim huge numbers. In college I worked with a skinny 5'5 track and field asian grill who claimed that she squatted 450, which I immediately called bullshit on. Upon further conversation it turned out that she thought using the hack squat machine at 1/8 ROM was the same thing as "squatting."
Dumb bros and normalfags do the same thing and then inflate their numbers for ego all the time.
I finally did a 100kg diddely (2pl8) and 70kg squat (1.25pl8).
I am a manlet and feel proud. Next goals are 3pl8 diddely and 2pl8 squat.

>if you own a commercial gym you have to have quality equipment

sooo roids?
>>35216399
Guess we should call the Olympic Games and tell them to call off the weightlifting because their bars can't handle it.
Everyone in the room, your wife included, was cringing about the fact that some autist would use that game as a chance to brag about gym numbers.
Nobody gives a shit. Talking about how much you lift outside your circle of training buddies makes you look like a weirdo, not a fucking strongman that people respect.
