That's almost word for word! People telling people you don't have to warm up, just start at 80% of your max and go from there. Groups of guys claiming those bullshit band assisted benches as their max. I'll never forget the one guy telling me how he put up 525lb at 5'7 220lbs (and something like 30%bf)
And saying how my 300lb bench at 175lb was "pathetic" at first I was truly impressed. Then common sense came into play and I publicly doubted him. He then sent a YouTube link where he was wearing a benching suit and what looked like 3 different benching slingshots on him.
The spotters brought the bar down to him, he then moved the bar... maybe 3" off his chest, then the spotters grabbed it and put it back on the rack. Then he got up and jumped up and down in celebration.


I really laid into him after he sent that video. This bright red meatball claiming a 525lb bench when his spotters and bands did all of the work. What a joke... then 90% of the forum attacked me for talking shit about assisted lifting... how it's a great way to train and blah blah... that's when I realized that wasn't the place for me. Anyone who claims their assisted lift as their max can eat a dick.
Because I can pick up 7,500lbs with a forklift... but I'm not gonna run around telling everyone my max lift is 7,500lb. Idk... maybe its just me... maybe I'm just too critical.
