themightyjello Old Man KB I'm 6'6" I can't bench 300lbs. emo I'm 5' 9", and I could bench 300 lbs in highschool. That was like 7 years ago though and I'm totally out of shape. The shorter you are, the better your bench and squat numbers are. Smaller ROM, more often than not. That's why my friend Tucker can bench 300 lb while being like 5'8'' and 174 lb or something. He's shorter, more compact. Less work has to be exerted to move the same amount of weight. The "prime" height for a good lifter is like 5'4''-6'3''. Anything shorter and you're a midget, and anything taller and your ROM is probably going to be bad. Being long limbed is, in some cases of lifting (especially pressing movements or squatting), bad. imo, a really good athlete should be able to: Bench 1.5x their own weight or more. Squat 2x their own weight or more. Deadlift their 2-2.5x their own weight or more. Being able to do tons of pull ups are great, unless you're built like a brick wall, in which case they're more or less useless and you should just do bent over rows and deads.

did you commission reiq, or is that an avatar based around the drawing? if it's the former, then that's awesome.

Darth, I'm in the taller perspective of that. It was kind of upsetting knowing that because I was taller, I was gonna have a harder time doing better at benching and s**t.
I thought I did pretty well.

Ecks X did you commission reiq, or is that an avatar based around the drawing? if it's the former, then that's awesome. Sorry to disappoint Wulfman, it's the latter. You should know by now that I'm lacking in the 'awesome' department. A friend forwarded the picture to me after I picked out this avatar.

Vintrict I did the 16, and I'll show you why. KB vs. Iden Roleplaying 2 - 4 fighting such a monster like KB.Monster, yes. while your posts played out basically "RAWR, RAWR, I'm scratching and biting you, I'm gonna tear you up!"Typically in the character of a monster. Not to mention, I don't think you roleplayed KB's weakness to the sun that well. Even if it was for a few seconds, a vampire exposed to a sun, with your listed weakness, is not going to be standing there still able to think logically. And with his eyes boiling, how the hell did he know where the shadow was.My bad, the "irises" bubbling was a stylistic thing, which was obviously interpreted incorrectly because... I didn't actually describe eye damage. I'm pretty sure KB was still wearing his glasses at the time, which are repeatedly described as mostly reflective. That, and yeah, KB had his head exposed to the sun for a few seconds, but the rest of his body was completely covered. At that point KB didn't really think logically, he just used a technique to get out of the sun as quickly as possible. It's not really my fault YOU guys approved the use of a technique that requires little to know thought beyond point and shoot. Creativity/ Strategy 2 - 4 bad how good KB's abilities areAgain, did I accept the profile? But when Iden started pressuring your character and using logical actions, that is when his fighting started to look better, while yours was looking more like the "I'm going to throw everything I got at you."Going all-out isn't an acceptable tactic, but, beating on someone while spamming flashbangs is? -Is lost- when you started spamming them was when I frowned.Okay? And the tactic to throw your character out into the sun won me over because it was the most logical thing to do.Granted. Control of the Fight 2 - 3 Once KB got burned, I saw the control tilt in Iden's favor and should have balanced then on. KB was in control, but I didn't mark up a lot because it's easy to be in control when you have safe moves to begin with. I don't understand what "safe moves" means, I also don't understand how the moves that you guys accepted is my fault. I sort of thought your job was to make sure things were balanced, and that if there was a problem you'd mention it during the fight. 16 - 21 Like I figured, this fell back to the sun thing, which is retarded. If I had just bandaged KB's face up and said that it blocked the damage of the sun, he would have escaped that fight almost 100% untouched. To that end, I'm being penalized for... not minmaxing and then covering my mins with gear to offset them. For the record, Elli's suggestion of the one move or attack action in the sun would have given KB a 30ft movement instead of a 20ft movement out of the sun, in basically the same amount of time. Food for thought.

As far as I'm concerned, the actual number someone is pushing only matters in relation to your weight.
And, beyond that, that the amount of weight you move is only one part of the equation of how much force you can exert. The other part is how much YOU, the mover weighs, so even if you and someone half your size both bench 300, a bigger person can still exert more force in most cases.
Beyond that, lifting a lot is just a personal challenge, as opposed to being strictly useful from a sports perspective. I mean, it IS useful, but you don't have to move big numbers to be good at a sport.
I'm alright, for my height weight which has been hovering around 190 lb @ 6'3''. 315 bench, 405 squat, 500 deadlift. All fit in, or are a little over the requirements for upper-level athletes, in proportion to my bodyweight. 1.5x bench, 2x squat, 2.5x dead. I'm pretty happy with those numbers, although if I heal well enough, I intend to see them go up. If not, I'll stay there.

I'd love to have a customized picture from him.
I love how curvy he draws his women.

It's been injured, apparently.
I was training fine, then when I maxed on deadlift back in.. Feb or so, it started acting up much worse all of a sudden.
So I've been going to my dad's doctor. He said there's no bone/joint problems, and since I don't experience a LOT of pain it's more than likely that I have no tears, or that they healed. He gave me two shots in the shoulder last week and told me to call him later this week to tell him if they had any effect.

It'd be nice to commission art from a really good artist, and Panda does like reiq's work. But Panda not have monies. ._.
That, and I just figure I'm supposed to be an artist myself, aren't I? I should make my own art and try my best to make it better.
Then one day I can do well enough to art trade with people like reiq or randomredux.
