LOL - when I was young, and much lighter, I could deadlift that kind of weight (that is, 188% of my body weight), and could squat almost as much, but I was much younger and lighter then. There were professional power lifters that could do much bigger, and a couple of the guys from High School could bench-press close to what I could deadlift. A huge achievement.

The 188% came from poster a month or so ago that boasted that number for some reason. I like to quote it every so often just for fun.

Psssst. That would be the very soul you are addressing, goodman. :)

Seriously. Do you even lift?

Bagster called me a girl, so I became irrational. The bench press comment was the sort of thing that came out. Along with other things I wouldn’t normally say. (The only rational part was the accuracy of the number. Not boasting, just clarifying the historical record.)

Very soon afterwards, I became quite fond of bagster.
