Are you ever amazed

at how weak some of the freaks are at the gym. The gym I workout at has some freaking huge ripped freaks that workout there. I am continually amazed at how they are the ones doing DL's with 200lbs for 7reps grunting the whole time. Or squatting 225x10 on the smith machine

hell today there was a super freak doing lat pulls next to me. I was doing 1armed lat pulls with 160lbsx7. He was doing 210lb 2armed close grip lat pulls for 7.

I dunno maybe i'm just being stupid but this shit amazes me

btw i'm not saying i'm strong but I am not a freak like these guys

Re: Are you ever amazed

Gaining muscle and lifting heavy are not related. Its a good observation and can make you question which goals you really want to persue.
