Shame on me!

Postby Speciell » Wed Mar 30, 2011 7:51 pm

Hoffmeister once told me that it is shameful to bench more than you squat. Today I squated 25kg and benched 32. I've REALLY tried squating harder just to be able to bench more! I feel so dirty! :oops: Please tell my ass to grow?

Hey, best way to tell your ass to grow is to do more squats ;) . Oh, and shame on you for benching more than you squat, that is indeed shameful.

Arms stronger than legs? Unpossible.

Get away from the bench, focus on squat a deadlift. This crime cannot be repeated.

bench as much as you can, otherwise your squat will overtake your bench only by cheating :D

its a good bench though!

i bet the squats are just down to lack of practise?

To determine what kind of punishment is appropriate, I think we need to know how many reps you did.
