Point of clarification... 3 plates meaning 45+45+whatever (meaning 225+)? OR 45-45-45 (meaning 315+)?

If it is the former... Congrats! I got as high as 245 before my 2nd shoulder surgery... Stuck around 225 these days.

If it is the latter... Jesus, that's a lot of weight.

Sorry. 315. And thanks, buddy. I’m glad someone is impressed. My wife, not so much.

We’re playing band and my 4 year old is the lead singer. Sample lyric “God never stops watching us. He is like Santa. Now the beat drops. Shake it God, shake it.” Idk what the fuck they’re teaching in her Sunday school, but the idea of a twerking god may shift me away from agnosticism.

Sexy Jesus was a very popular trope back in the middle ages.
 

Keep typing away with your T-Rex arms, bro. I’ll be over here with the dangerously overburdened rotator cuffs and the indifferent wife. Jealous much?
 
Kind of a weird take.

You don't bench 315 lbs for "vanity muscles"... It takes a lot of consistent lifting. You have to set goals, come up with a plan to achieve those goals, and then execute over a long period of time. That's discipline.

Vanity muscles, to me, is cranking out as many curls as you can while staring at yourself in gym mirror. Or something like that.

I do recognize, however, that I basically asked him, "How much ya bench?"... So perhaps I'm just a meathead.
 
And now I feel triggered, so I'm going to down a protein shake and bang out a few sets of pull-ups before my 1:30pm conference call.

Maybe even a few curls since nobody's here to judge.
 
What does a weight training plan entail? Just lifting more than you did the previous day I assume. Sounds easy.

Exactly. Just like marathon training. Just run more and faster every day, right?
 
I feel like I could make a shitton of money making "you won't believe where these 90's actors are today" clickbait type sites.

I mean I clicked on like 40 pages this weekend hoping that this newly married couple were really brother and sister only to find out that they just went to the same beach somewhere 20 years earlier.

I admit, if you are in fact a work-from-home fireman, lumberjack, or carnival strongman, or your name is Sisyphuss, I'll retract the vanity label.
 
Especially given clinical evidence that weight training is effective at injury prevention. Although I readily admit to being one vain sumbitch. And veiny. Vascular for the win bro.

I'm personally shocked to learn that DistrictDeacon has t-rex noodle arms.

It's true. If DeacATS hadn't been training to lift 315+ pounds, he might have torn three of his labrums instead of just two.
