You've been around here long enough to know that we have
plenty of useless discussions... so what's new?
Actually, I don't think that it's at all useless. If you post on this board your new personal record for a lift, I'd kind of like for it to be put into perspective.
To reiterate what's already been said, "seeing a 150 lb guy bench press 300 lbs (2x his bodyweight) is much more impressive than seeing a 250 lb guy do it."
No one is suggesting that these things be used as an excuse, as in what Relentless said. I see it only to allow us to talk "apples and apples" when it comes to measures of strength. I think that's perfectly legit!
