    You know you are too strong for a Commercial gym when.....

    When staff ask if you compete in powerlifting, and you're just doing average working sets.

    Paused bench vs touch and go

    Are you asking why lifting, say, 100kg is more beneficial to strength (and size) than lifting 80kg? I would have thought that was pretty obvious.

    Paused bench vs touch and go

    That isn't as stupid as it sounds. There is an inherent benefit in handling heavier weight.

    When do you consider a set "failed"

    Surely you don't fail a set, you fail a rep. And what about forced/assisted/partial reps? I guess it all depends on the goal of that set, whether you were planning on using a cheat to go beyond initial (strict full range form) failure or not, as to when the set is finished.

    Man lost on own property after drinking beers, following dingo

    I'm from Alice. Much harder to get lost there, because you can see for about 100km in any direction, just dirt. What a cockhead, 300m from his house. Pfft.

    Why am I piss weak?

    I've heard of the ratio as 4:5:6 B: S: D but who cares anyway, everyone is different. Personally I can squat more than I deadlift. To the OP, you are FAR from pissweak, especially if you are a physique-oriented guy. I know people who have trained for many years and don't lift those numbers.

    Theory i have

    I was just going to add, regarding the original point, I think that strong OH pressing translates reasonably well to prone pressing. The reason they may have a strong bench is less to do with their chest and more to do with their shoulders.

    Lee priest in australian newspaper saying roid rage is a myth and alcohol is worse

    On the rage thing, I had surgery a couple of days ago, the anaesthetist looked me up and down and asked if I took steroids, they like to know because, supposedly, roiders coming out of a general anaesthetic sometimes fly into a rage.. I told him they'd better call for backup. Just kidding, I...

    Benching

    I agree with you in that determining the optimum grip widthfor you personally is important for safety and efficiency. But 'close grip' bench is an accessory exercise, primarily for triceps. I don't think anyone was suggesting powerlifting with a close grip. Our were they?
