I got from your post that you were just like that kid growing up as well.

What fraternity were you in?

Moving inventory. Pretty simple concept that I would think an “executive” would understand.


That’s in the small box. Think outside of the bigger box. You’re not getting a ‘deal’. And how many assholes get 0% and really invest those extra funds wisely? Or take the monthly payment because they can’t really afford to buy the vehicle?

I’ll use leverage all day and twice on Sunday when the numbers make sense. Smart people do this all the time, which is why you don’t understand it

I used to not be sure who I disliked more between you and Mingo. Thanks for clearing that up. Mingos an a-hole, but he's no dumbass. You sir, are a dumbass.

I may very well be. But I have zero debt, spent the day out on Lake Conroe slaying bass, and about to hit this afternoon bite. I’ll go home and grill some filet for the wife and I while we watch some shitty Netflix movie and go to bed by 9-10. Get up and run 7 miles in the morning. Retiring at 50. Guess I’m an idiot because I didn’t trap myself in a bunch of debt for material shite while trying to bench 405.

I’m honestly not a troll here. Just speaking the truth. Live, pay with cash and take life by the horns. Don’t brag about 0% while grinding it out at 65. And stop writing people checks for a ‘what if’.

Good for you man, but I have no idea what the correlation is btw accumulating debt and bench pressing. And paying cash when 0% APR is offered makes zero sense. This coming from someone who's also debt free, minus an Amex that I pay off every month.

couldn't sniff 405 when I was 17. Shite, I thought 225 was heavy then. If you could put 3 plates on you were a man walking around boys at our high school and we weren't exactly a pushover at football. There may have been a dozen dudes that could press much over 315.


This is the truth about almost any HS which shows how full of shite some posters are.

Nick Chubb set state bench records in GA as a HS senior hitting 365 and up to 405 reportedly. And he was a freak in the weight room.

But yeah….random dudes of the OT did that all the time or could throw up 300 in their forties just trying to see how strong they were.

Big deal! I’m nearly four times his age and can bench press (almost) half as much.


Now that's the way to look at it.
I'm over 4 times his age (72) and got a 280 last week.

i find shorter guys with shorter arms tend to be better at bench press.

Agree most of the lifting records are held by short trolls that have arms half as long as the average guy.
