 I'm at untrained strength. Duh. Duh, you silly sons of bitches. How much do you think I could bench like this? Hey, comment below how much do you think I could bench like this? Cuz everyone says that like sumo grip or sumo stance and wide grip bench cheating. How much do you think you guys could bench like this? We'll challenge all you little pussies out there. Just like this. This fucking hurts dude. I bet I could barely do 225 like this. There's a lot of people that bench like that. No, that's illegal. This is the widest you can bench. That's the widest you can bench? Yeah, you have to test the range. How come I see people like dude? Because they have short arms and it looks like that. Oh, really? That's the only reason, but the wider isn't better. It's just like sumo or like squat like if this was so much easier because a range of motion everyone would squat this way and everyone would bench that way. It's not. Or everyone would pull sumo, but half the records are convention. And not even everyone goes the white widest legal width, but if you go beyond that, I guarantee you guys barely bench 60%. I'm out of breath. We'll see how 315 feels and then either go for kind of a triple-ish heavy with a bunch of back downs or a heavy single. Yeah, and then a bunch of back downs like 3 to 5. Going in wrong man. No wrap. PR. I got a question before I smash 275. Do you use wipes or toilet paper? I'm a toilet paper guy. Mostly out of convenience. I don't want to carry my own wipes. I don't want to keep replenishing wipes and toilet paper. Another common question is wipe standing or sitting and that's when the quarter squat gang appears. You got stumpy bench press arms can't quite do it seated and then your hand's gonna be yeah. Quarter squat. That's the only time I approve of the quarter squat when you're wiping your ass. Powerlifting knowledge. I can hold it forever too. Stop at, huh? This is a good question. How do you hit on a girl at the gym without making it seem like you're a creep or being awkward? I don't know. I think this depends on the type of gym you're at. If you're at a gym like this, you just start to like just chat and be fucking normal human being and then you'll understand if she is interested and wants to be a normal human being back and then you can maybe move into friendship or a group hang out and then a date. If you're in a normal gym, I think it's really difficult to not be a creep. Maybe just pray for some eye contact. What the fuck do I know? That's all I got. Go to Tinder you fucking bum. Any of these match? This feels light. I like it. I'm using this one. All right, this guy said what's a simple and effective way of getting in meals if you work long hours? A simple effective way to get in meals if you work long hours? Talk to this guy. This guy's in his gym grinding his face off every day. How do you get your meals in while you're working all day? Yeah, meal prep. Meal prep or that's when I think bars and shakes play a role. I'm lucky enough that I set my own schedule, so I kind of get to eat, but a lot of people like this who are grinding all day, I see him food prepping. He's got his little Tupperware and a microwave here. Just make a bunch of rice, bunch of potatoes. Stop being a fucking bum. I don't know that might help. Someone asked how often should you max out? So maxing out. Maxing out. Testing. Now hopefully you're in the gym to build your strength. How often your physiologically be able to adapt it, hit a new PR, it's kind of dependent on how advanced the lifter you are. So you just start lifting, you never lift a weight to your life. You're gonna PR or max out every single week, and then eventually every other week, and then eventually every month, and then eventually every six months, then eventually you're hopefully gonna just squeak in five pound PRs every eight months. So it kind of depends on where you are in your training, how long you've been lifting, how old you may be, how genetically gifted you are. Because there's guys that probably pull 700 pounds, with one year of training, just genetically gifted enough that they might still be able to add five or ten pounds every month. Yeah? There you go. I'll put it back hard. Good. Three, 85 slingshot, 405 slingshot. How's that sound? 405 slingshot on? Is that what you said? Yeah. And then I'll do whatever. 315, you're set to five back down. 405. We need to get it. Commercial. Let's go. One, two, three. Good spotting. I almost died and he saved me. He saved me mentally to let me save myself. I didn't do anything. There you go. There you go. All right. No slingshot ring? No, we got it. I've done it. I've done it, and then you're down. You're talking way too much. You almost died. I saved his life. Try to pause it for all those internet hairs. So today, I would say you did 370 times one at nine. 405 times one at ten. Yeah. And 315 times five. Eight and a half and nine. Yeah. You gotta agree. I would agree. Is periodization a what? Necessary for beginners. I wouldn't say anything's necessary. And I know there's some new research and surveys coming out of it. Versus or against the efficacy. Big word, fuck you. I dropped out of college about periodization. And actually, taking someone's squat, I just saw a chart, so don't quote me here, but something where the gains were not minimal, but less than people would have expected for someone who periodized block their stuff out compared to just someone who just kind of went by feel. Which I've said for years, you can go back to probably powercast number 20, where I said, lift if you want to get better at the squat. Squat once or twice a week. Moderate weights. For the next five to ten years, you will get stronger. Beginners, intermediates, advanced. I don't want to use the term you need to use periodization, but you need to have a plan. If you have some kind of plan involved, it's what's going to get you where you're going to go. Just randomly going in and doing random things will get you random results. So some kind of plan. Does it have to be periodized necessarily? No. But have an A-plan? That's probably a good idea. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm off to New York City to record more of Mama's Voice Podcasts.
