The bigger and blacker, the better.

Ha! I bet his opening line is similar to the scene in Boogie Nights when Dirk asks the other actor, "How much do you bench?"!

Just goes to show you ain't got a clue 'cause bench pressing is what silly boys do when they think they are working out.

What do you and the other girls do?

Vagenius, I never said I bench much, I was quoting a phoucing movie! It's also called for at times from Mr. Glassman! Figured you'd appreciate my attempt at your type of name dropping...

I don't see many movies. I have seen Mary Poppins about fifty times though, unfortunately.

Which one do you think he is?

Laughin' my ass off...

Damn you're dumb. Crossfitters don't do curls....ever.

Since you claim to be a Crossfitter and therefore don't do curls, I take that as an admission you're the rear spotter? Thanks for confirming that for me.

PS- Good avoidance of admitting that Mr. Glassman has folks bench press from time to time.

Avoid it? You stated the truth. Yes, that workout comes around every few months, with pullups, no curls....ever.

You must be kidding. Bench, squat, dead lift, pull-ups, shoulder press are the five best bang for your buck exercises for strength and mass.

Cardio is another matter obviously. I think though that for humping a ruck, I would rather focus on leg strength rather than running mileage.

No, I'm not kidding, and neither is Mark Rippetoe, who probably knows more about the training of, and the anatomy involved, of the major lifts than anyone alive. He states that a general athlete should do at least three sets of strict shoulder presses for every set of bench presses. Obviously, if you intend to compete as a powerlifter, you have to bench.

The bench press gets emphasized because of football, as a lineman can actually apply the strength gains from it, few other athletes can. The "posterior chain" is what matters most, and the other lifts you mentioned work that, but not the bench.

I've lost count of the ODA "farm animals" who've come to me complaining of shoulder pain. Guys in their thirties who've already got a "gorilla hunch" posture, with the attending thoracic kyphosis (and back pain) and of course, shoulder pain, as their posterior pecs are so tight (they insert on the coracoid process of the scapula) pulling the scapula forward/anteriorly. Also the anterior pecs are typically so short this pulls on the humerus and shifts the humeral head anteriorly. This can result in rotator cuff issues and labral tears.

You do all the major lifts, in the proper amounts, like Rippetoe advises, and most of this is quite unlikely. Problem is, few do, 'cause the bench is "easy".

Wow use of big, clinical words. And another name drop. Someone will think you're smart.

PS- Not all bench work outs from Mr. Glassman involve pullups.

PPS- Never mentioned curls. Just wanted to show your dedication as a "spotter".

You are right, there are TWO of them. One comes up every 6 or 8 weeks. So, now I'm an asswipe for bothering to actually learn anatomy? GFY.

No your just an asswipe, regardless of any learning. Please use a big word in your response to show me how smart you are? Pretty please?

I think that commercial is responsible for the Army's current recruiting troubles.

Have a great 2014 TAK.

The rest of you, just try to keep up.

I certainly plan to have a good year CW, and to you as well.
