>You go to the gym? That's cool. I used to do that.
>What's that? Program? Oh, you know. I'm old school. I just worked the muscles that needed working.
>Deadlift? Nah, I was more of a bench guy myself. What do you bench, Anon?
>Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's about what I was putting up. Good times.

Lol you seem to misunderstand the difference between being aggressive and being alpha. Those aren't exclusive retard.
It's a waste of time to call out every normie who pretends to know anything about fitness and just makes you come off as an asshole. Just smile and nod and laugh about them later, that's what a rela alpha does because a real alpha isn't bothered by a beta male lying to them to sound cool.
>Middle aged guy
>average size, maybe a bit bigger than average biceps
>finish squatting
>he comes up and tells me I should do it the other way around, so if I fail some one can come from behind and spot me
>tells me to put the safety bars one spot higher
>tired after squats, not thinking straight enough to be offended
>"errr thanks a lot"
>see him later trying to lecture some guy about how to curl
>literally grabs the bar off him
Why are some people like this? If it was some huge obviously bodybuilding or powerlifting guy than maybe it wouldn't be so bad, but he literally just looked like an average guy. I'm bigger and I'm 100% sure I massively outlift him.
Shit that's my cousin and he's not even old hes 2 years older than me. Feels the necessity to try and bring me down and have some stupid outrageous claims for any lift. "Oh you can squat 430 I used to do 700 in high school" I grew up with this stupid ass and know he's full of shit.

Become old man
>>36594173
I came in looking like shit after not lifting for a year early march.
Benched 220 within a week. It's always the fastest to go back up.
Should hit 275 by july easy. Squat and deads.. Hoping they'll hit 450 by then. Ohp 200 maybe.
>go to family event
>haven't seen anyone in 2 years
>everyone commenting on how big I've gotten

>lol wut
>fatass uncle who has been grossly fat since I was born waddles up
>"I used to look like that, just wait till you're metabolism slows down. Enjoy it while it lasts"
Fucking degenerate thinks I'd ever let myself get obese
>>36594282
This. Old guys might not be big, but their muscles have been "working out" since decades.
Im twice the size of my dad, but he could break my bones if he wanted to.
>>36594653
Be fat for many years
>>36594126
I'm quite sure I know this fagit
>dad is dyel middle aged man
>says the most he has ever squated was 225 for 10
>super happy I got into lifting
>impressed by my super shitty numbers
feels great
I work with a guy who said he used to go to the gym twice a day but he looked at me like i insulted his great ancestors when i said it was leg day. He had no idea what a split workout was.

Can confirm.
>Have a physics teacher who can BTFO anyone who tries to arm-wrestle him
As you age, your muscles will lose size, but you lose strength much more slowly, because 'strength' is your nervous system.
So you should train for strength to stay mired into old age.
>tfw dad used to bench 435, squat 550, deadlift 630
>got old and started working longer hours
>permabulked to about 290
Then he goes and puts up 3plate bench for easy 10 reps after 15 years of not lifting. Absolute madman.
>>36594126
The worst is when someone asks me how much i lift. I'm like i probably do 40 different exercises a week which one do you mean?
>>36595629
Lmao you really think these children can comprehend the traits of a good leader? Let them stay complacent with their shenanigans, it makes it easier in the long run

He's right if you're retarded enough to walk forward after you unrack the bar and not walk back.

> had social studies (social sciences??) teacher in year 9 (grade ????)
> tells us he used to play american football in an american college
> "i was at 5% body fat"
> would always sit up on a desk with one leg on the chair, spreading his leg so everyone had a good view of his bulge (prob all fat)
when he was our teacher, he was maybe 30% bodyfat
noone believed you and your lies, fatty
>>36594501
for you
bumping with more old man strength stories
>work live sound over the summer
>boss is late 40's/early 50's man with beer gut, has kickass systems involving enormous cabinets
>subs weigh a good 150 lbs, tops are at least 200
>have to use a partner and leverage to your advantage in order to stack subs and tops
>been working out for two years, still struggle with my half
>boss is able to stack by himself if necessary
I actually got tendonitis in my forearms from stacking and destacking the cabinets all summer
