If you wanna rock you gotta be gaunt or flabby.

How Much Ya Bench?

This thread is fucking weak.

Oh, Nerf Herder, how poignant you are at this very moment:

"Check me out I'm lame
Paid for a membership down at the local gym
Tired of getting dumped, let's get really pumped
Thought I'd look like Henry Rollins
But I still look like Phil Collins

Feeling bad about myself again
Girls ignore me in the chat room
Feeling bad about myself again today"

Six reps of 120 lbs? I saw Nick Zinner of Yeah Yeah Yeahs do that while 'dialing in' his sound.

I dunno man, talking about weights just seems dumb to me. Sorry to all of you who just purchased the executive plan at the pumpfucks 9000 gym in your area...

...i'm not in that tiptop of shape but i'll be damned if i bring that up on a messageboard thread about workout regimens.

Nah, that was back at the Oberlin Ironworks. Nick used to spot me.

i've been doing strength training along with my phys rehab for the past few months - i enjoy it. less concerned about the actual weight than the range of motion & flexibility. mostly just want to be able to bike all day, save the girl, live forever, etc.

how much can you hench?

It smells like feet in here.

What? No mothers getting benched anywhere, at all? No one's benched anyone's mom? Not even a single rep? Not even in the basement with indie stereotype-shattering/defying workout jam-platters spinning on the hi-fi? What about the garage? Bally Total Fitness or whatever? Mom's--where are the moms getting benched?

This thread has forced me to square so many of my unexamined assumptions that I'm now compelled to ask the tough questions.
