There are some very strong people out there. I will be so happy when my squat reaches 300 lbs. I know that's not particularly impressive but I initially struggled with the bar a bit. Granted my form was shit at the time and the trainer didn't exactly know what he was doing with regards to that lift. I'm up to 215 right now for sets.
One day I will also bench press my weight. That could be some time away.
To be honest most trainers I've seen don't realy know what they're doing all that much better than your average guy. I think I found one who was really useful, and he used to be a pro weightlifter.
That's what your own bodyweight give or take? That's not all that bad.
Yeah, i weigh about 222 lbs or so right now. I'm concentrating more on losing some weight at the moment because I hit a goal of 200 lbs for squats so I doubt I'm eating enough to fuel decent strength gains but so far I haven't stalled again on squats. Presses and bench are hella stalled though.

Pull-ups and chin-ups are pretty damn good bodyweight exercises. And chin-ups are a much more useful arm workout than damn curls. I can't string more than three in a row right now though I only do them at the end of my lifting, so i might be a bit spent.
Hmm, maybe I should do some sprinting when I get home today.
I can only do like maybe four pull ups if I push myself. I've consigned myself to the fact that I likely won't be able to get past this. Just not got the right build. Though I'm always jealous of the tiny guys who go through them like they're push ups.

It just takes work like anything else.
I sucked at them - like if I did three the PE Teacher was proud - but at some point I managed to get pretty decent at them despite my weight.
Now I'm probably back down to three. But that's just like anything else.

edit: god damn it I'm going to have to start wiring today.

I'm not so sure, if I put on enough muscle mass I'd likely be too heavy (even if I lost all the weight I could I'd be about 170 lbs). I know some guys at the gym who are seriously strong but at a point the extra weight outweighs the muscle gains.

I keep getting mistaken for my little sisters dad. It was a real shocker the first time it happened. Kinda weird knowing that I could be a father. Hell a lot of my classmates are.

Honestly I wouldn't want to be that guy, sure we all think of some double d chick using an old nintendo controller to masturbate, woo hot, but much like a gynecologist that dude would see so much ugly he wouldn't want to look at a gina ever again.

Meh, lots of liquor stores carry lime juice or are next to grocery stores that do.
I grew up hauling trees and wheelbarrows full of manure or concrete around. Kind of puts a little meat on ya.

soooo then once again you are equivocating your abnormal upbringing with everyone else?
eh, they're both good but chin-ups emphasize arms. Based on your club thing that's probably important to you.
I really need to start doing weights.
now he uses his posting to haul manure around.
I'm not the only guy out there who was "raised country."
I'm just the only sober one.
Oh, really? I thought it worked the back just as much and put more strain on the arms.
Hrm.... decisions decisions
later dudes and dudettes
pull-ups work the back more because they don't get as much of an assist from the arms.
need to figure out how to get it to cover more than just the last 250, those are skewed to that stupid discussion about lake michigan...
I like "never post pollution" though

Probably cause the government is stealing from me.
I'm trying to get hired by Nintendo but they use one of those horrible resume programs.
ah, lame
Hehe, ask how much taxes I am paying.
Right now it's pitching a fit because I want to use a more updated resume file.
Here, have some popcorn. *munches*
Jewcar, just admit it, you want to be this guy.
